Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Good idea Becky. Grapefruit assists the bodies thermogenesis and is an effective fat burner. , be careful with the fruit. Eat it in small amounts, too much fruit will spike your blood sugar and make you hungry. Also keep your protein intake high. When you alter your diet, your bodies perception is that you are starving it. It reacts by storing precious fat and by consuming muscle tissue first. Four or five small meals during the course of the day usually work better than 3 large meals. It also helps if you determine how many calories you are consuming on a daily basis. I have had great success with a daily food journal. I write down everything I consume, both solid and liquid during the day. By doing this I can accurately keep track of how many calories I consume. The average human being must burn 3500 calories to lose one pound of bodyfat. Experiment a bit and see how many calories you can get by on without feeling weak etc. If you normally consume 2000 calories a day cut back to 1700 and in 11 days you will have lost a pound. It will take you about 11 months to lose your 30 pounds. If you are able to increase your exercise you will lose it even faster. It can be done. A little science, a little prayer and a lot of determination. Good luck! You can do it. Keep us posted. regards, BC ----- Original Message ----- From: Maxwell <rmax@...> < > Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [] diet > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mommy2Adam@... <Mommy2Adam@...> > < > > Date: Monday, June 04, 2001 1:30 PM > Subject: [] diet > > > >>>>>>>>>, there is the CMT weight management list, a spinoff of this > list for those wishing to lose weight. > CMTweightmanagement > > My cousin lost weight by cutting a small amount off of her servings, not > alot, she never starved, but she drank grapefruit juice and ate grapefruits > everyday along with her meals.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi ! Good luck on your diet! I started Weight Watchers in January and have lost over 60 lbs. so far. I've been eating lots of vegtables, with protein and starch 'sprinkled' on top! Plus, as Gretchen pointed out, lots of water. I've also been trying to walk more (my feet and legs are still pretty strong - I can go a couple of miles before the pain gets to me). I wont say it's been easy, but I'm really seeing the results, which is great. To Gretchen, What's this weight page everyone is refering to? Also, I have some before/during (I'm nowhere nere 'after' yet, but getting there) images I could post - how do I do that? Yours, > I am starting a diet today. I need to loose 30 pounds.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , I find the Weight Watchers program has been very helpful. I already knew that I should avoid fats, eat high fiber, etc., but their program makes it easy to put that knowledge into practice. I go with my office manager so we support each other's efforts (read - moan and groan about our deprivation!). They provide lots of tools to help calculate how much you can eat, portion sizes, impact of exercise, attitude, etc. It also teaches you to eat in the 'real world', as nothing is off limits - you just have to learn to control quantity and what the trade offs are. I hope it's OK that I'm pluggin their program - I don't work for them, don't have any financial interest in them, etc., but I did want to share that I have been having succes with them. Obviously, you have to find what works best for you. Good luck! > Omy goodness 60 pounds you must feel terrific! Congratulations. > I want to go to WW .

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , Weight Watchers is a wonderful support group but they do not have any magic that makes the calories melt and they are in business to make money. They sell behavior modification and expensive frozen foods. Until you have the funds for WW use us as your support group. You can do it!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 , wow, how great! I'll bet you feel great in body and spirit now that you are carrying around 60 pounds less! , good luck in your quest for losing some weight. I am also trying to trim down. What has been working for me is high protein, low fat and low carbohydrates. I shed 15 pounds, without exercising, by trying to keep the carb count under 30 grams per day. This meant giving up potatoes, pasta, rice, breads, cookies, crackers, sugar, fruits, juices, sweets and milk. I eat all the meat, fish, poultry, cheese, bacon and eggs that I want along with salad and vegetables and sugarless Jello. Also, a few almonds, pistacio nuts or macadamia nuts as a snack. I stay away from carrots and beets as they are very high in sugar. I also got some of the low carb protein bars. If I have a piece of fruit or starchy food, I have a two-hour separation from my protein meal. The protein staves off hunger and is very satisfying. I slacked up on watching the carbo count for two months to do the L-Carnitine experiment. Are you listening, Lamar? I gained back a few pounds so I do not think that L- Carnitine lives up to it's hype. Check the posts from a few months back for that discussion. So it is back to watching ththe carbs! I also take chromium picolinate, when I remember (to speed up metabolism) , mutivitamin and calcium supplements. I have been told that CMT causes a larger percentage of body fat to lean muscle mass and is a contributing factor to a slower metabolic rate. This gives you something else to add to your confusion! Keep on hanging in there! I support you all the way! I have a stationary bike and an Ab-doer. I need to get better acquainted with them! I did walk around the block after work tonight. Good luck , I'll be watching your progress. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Many of us would die to have that problem! Seriously though, it has been my experience that to lose weigh one must go low fat and low carb at the same time. It looks like that is what you are doing. Apparently you are not eating any grains. See if you can find a grain that you can eat. Brown rice or perhaps one of the lesser known grains that are only in health food stores. Eat more fruit to increase your sugar (carb) intake. Bananas are very rich! To increase your fat I might suggest adding olive oil to your diet. Home made oil and vinegar salad dressing can be excellent (just add a few spices olive oil water and vinegar). I have over a years experience with Weight Watchers where I lost 75 LB, in nine months (not the way some women I know lost weight in nine months) Any advice I can give on losing weight or alternately not losing weight I will give freely. Incidentally, I had my first major exacerbation shortly after reaching my WW goal weight (the stress of the last few pounds was tremendous!) B. Original Message: ----------------- From: Mardea@...

I have gone from a size 14 to an 8. I don't want to go any lower. But I don't know how to stop it. Has any of you done the same thing? Does your body eventually stop loosing? Does anyone have any suggestions? I shouldn't complain because I am feeling really great with a lot of energy. Please help if you can because I think that I need to stay away from all those foods for health sake. One other time, I was on the roy swank diet and had to go back because I was loosing too much.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Thanks for your advice. I don't want to go into an exaserbation. I am eating cereal a lot. I eat cherrios and that has one gram of sugar which I am not suppose to have. But I am lost to what I can have at lunch, so I have cereal a lot. I am sick of salads everyday at lunch. I already eat a lot of fruit but what happens when the winter comes and I can't get the great fruit as plentiful. I can't eat bananas or vinegar because of the allergies to them. I have cut down on pasta because of the allergy to white flour. But you make sense when you say olive oil. Maybe I need to up the olive oil in my diet.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Marie, I read 's post and olive oil is a good idea. Don't cook with it, though; cooking it changes it into trans fats. You could add avocadoes, tahini (sesame butter) and almond butter. All are high in good (unsaturated) fats. One thing about chicken and fish: make sure you buy " clean " from a health food store so you aren't eating antibiotics and growth hormones. Fish: don't buy farm-raised and given the mercury/MS connection, check out this website: http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/sea-mehg.html Adding grains are a good idea; millet, brown rice and quinoa (a high-protein Peruvian grain). Millet and rice are available in breads, also rice crackers. Wheat and corn (also peanuts, a legume) are problematic because of sensitivity and fungus questions. Doing the morning smoothie that we talked about will add calories too. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 If you are losing more than a couple pounds a week you may be doing damage (why is everybody in such a goldern *hurry*?). Starvation causes your body to produce endorphin, as a kind of consolation prize (oh, well, you didn't run fast enough, and you lost your hatchet, but you'll catch him next time and have a nice dinner). That's why bulemia and anorexia are addictive behaviour. (Maybe LDN can help them too.) You may feel better and be worse. The problem I have always had with diets is that they seem to work great for many months and I am feeling OK, but then for some reason all the weight (or more) comes back faster than I took it off. My metabolism seems very reactive to changes in food supply, either on or off. Like you, I have to admit I ate very healthy foods, but a lot less food. It seems self administered metabolic changes are among the hardest things to do permanently, without causing other grief. Refined foods are my biggest diet problem, as far as I know. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu -Sullivan --- In low dose naltrexone , " Marie Deady " <Mardea@b...> wrote: > Thanks for your advice.
