Hi Bonnie,

With everyone being different, it's hard to say. But if you've gained that

much weight, I'd say you're doing something you shouldn't be, or not doing

something you should be. Clear as mud now, isn't it? LOL

I wouldn't start believing that if you go back to induction way of eating

that you'll have to stay on it the rest of your life tho. My guess, and that's

ALL it is, is that you may have just jumped into a new way of eating {including

the fruit and whatnot} and your body just isn't used to it, so it's holding

onto the sugar, which we know does turn to fat. Had to throw that in...LOL

I'm curious how much water you're drinking? Could that be a reason? Not

drinking enough? Personally, for me, I include ALL my fluid as my fluid intake.

I

know on Adkins, that's not the way, tho It's just a thought.

Sweetie, I wish I was closer {I wish we were ALL closer!} so we could help

each other, other than trying to figure it out on here.

Love ya,

Kiki

[Guest guest]

C, that's a great suggestion! I know that's what I'll do when I just

can't do without the carbs. It's also they way most eat in Europe. I've never

done it for long, but know people are very successful on it. And they get

the things they love like fruit. I've never read the book you mentioned, I've

gotten most of mine from The Suzanne Somers books.

HI Bonnie,

Have you ever tried food combining? I tried the low carb, no carb, WW and

everything in between and the only thing that works for me is the proper way to

combine foods. I think Rashelle eats this way also. You basically eat carbs

(good ones) and proteins but you just don't mix the two. In other words if you

want a cheeseburger, eat the meat and cheese with all the vegies at lunch and

the bun and vegies at night, etc. You also will never have indegestion this

way. I know one diet doesn't fit all but this is really not a diet, but a way

of eating. The best info I have read on the subject is Fit for Life by Harvey

Diamond.

Hi All,

Everyone seems to be doing so well! And I'm not...

I think I've gained about 50 pounds in the last week (well, probably more like

4-5 pounds) -- my clothes are snug around my waist, and I hate it! I'm not sure

I can stick this NT way of eating out! Though I think that first I'm going to

try basic low-carbing with NT -- eliminating the apples and bread : (

I think I'll try one more day (based on an apple I still have in my

refrigerator!!! LOL), then go back to the low-carbing. It really worries me,

though, that I'll have to stay at induction level low-carbing for the rest of my

life. Maybe I ought to try this another week and just see if I bloat up any

more...

I imagine that my weight gain is carb-bloating. Maybe your body adjusts and

gets rid to it? I think it's ALL in my belly! Anyone have any ideas?

I'm continuing with my LL exercises -- and had a really good (lots of steep

hills) walk this lunch -- the weather is finally co-operating (when it gets too

hot, I don't like the strenuous walks -- I get sweaty then have to sit in an

air-conditioned office for the rest of the day)...

Kiki, I have her book also. It's good too. It is a little harder for me to

follow but only because of all the protein she eats. My body does alot better

on fruits, vegies, whole grains, etc. and Fit for Llife is more on that line.

I do eat some protein but I usually gain when I eat it and lose when I eat

carbs. Go figure!!!

Hi Bonnie,

Do you use digestive enzymes? They help me tremendously with gas and bloating

from foods. Just a thought.

I have learned from various sources that blood type effects how we

process certain foods. O blood types do very well on low carb because

we assimilate and eliminate food more quickly than the others.

Therefore, we can lose eating such things as red meat and fats. As

and ABs on the other hand take longer to process meat and often

experience constipation on low carb diets, especially Atkins. They

are able to handle carbs better than Os and not gain. Something to

think about. As and ABs are also better at extracting nutrients from

foods and vitamins. They do well with herbal therapies whereas us O

blood types may need stronger things like prescription meds for

certain ailments.

One thing is for certain, when you eat strict low carb and then

suddenly stop that way of eating without easing back in, you gain the

weight back faster than you lost it. In 4 weeks on Atkins, I lost 7

lb, one week off of low carb and I had gained back 10! There ya go!

[Guest guest]

Hi Bonnie, Do you remember when we were talking about our husbands

being so much thinner that we. Well that night I was going through some

books I had picked up at the used book store and there was this

one--Outsmarting the female Fat Cell- by Debra Waterhouse.. It was a

national bestseller a few years ago. And it is very good. It tells why

we gain weight different than men and tells what to do about it. I am

only half way through but the plan is called OFF. She says you can't

starve a fat cell there is a built in protective mechanism that won't

let you. Her plan is

1. Aerobicize your fat cells

2. Stop dieting and start eating

3. Feed your body not your fat cells

4. Shrink and multiply your meals

5. Become a daytime eater

6. FATPROOF your diet.

She says anything more than 2pounds lost in a week is water and muscle

and when you gain it back you gain it back as FAT.

So far I really like what she says. And it is the same as NT.. eat when

you are hungry quit when you are comfortable.

Just thought I would share. hugs~ Connie

You are so right about the blood types. I can eat some meats but the ones for

my blood type are the exotic types of meat which I would never eat anyway, so I

guess that is why I do so much better on the fruits, veg, etc.

process certain foods. O blood types do very well on low carb because

we assimilate and eliminate food more quickly than the others.

I'm continuing with my LL exercises -- and had a really good (lots of

steep hills) walk this lunch -- the weather is finally co-operating

(when it gets too hot, I don't like the strenuous walks -- I get

sweaty

then have to sit in an air-conditioned office for the rest of the

day)...
