Danger, Danger! Re: What to eat on your Egg Bread

[Guest guest]

At the risk of sounding like a wet blanket, I think anyone eating

bread or syrup or honey of any kind is headed for trouble.

I've heard the same thing expressed in diff. ways for 3 years: Can't I

eat my favorite foods in " moderation " ? How much sweet/salty/carb-like

stuff can I get away with, and still lose weight? Then it becomes: Or

at least not gain weight? If I eat sugar free syrup, ice cream,

low-carb cookies, cake, and just a cracker or two, isn't that okay?

Later I hear the same folks wonder why they don't get to the weight

they want to be at. They wonder why we get stuck on plateaus. People

say I now have the metabolism of a hummingbird... well, I don't know

about you, but I can't eat this stuff without gaining weight.

Sugar-free or low-carb foods are not calorie-free and can trigger

cravings. The people I see who succeed are those who refrain from

carbohydrates AND avoid foods that mimic desserts and empty snack

foods. Your mind rationalizes, but your fat cells hold onto everything.
