Charlie, I think you are right one track! Dieting is NOT about giving up the life (and food) you love.0

ditto! I am enjoying reading the book that gayle posted.0

Here's a link to a great blog post. We should all have a fallback plan: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/the-simplest-plan-for-successful-weight-loss/0

Thanks Charlie! I think this fallback plan is a great idea!0

This is a good article on buffets. I'm not a buffet lover because I like my food HOT. But, we do family celebratory brunches occasionally and it is tough. Next time, I'll try this: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/a-5-step-strategy-for-all-you-can-eat-buffets/0

Thanks Charlie! Yes, definitely a strategy needed for buffets!0

For those who are curious about the Chinese Medicine I've started I'm being treated for deficient spleen Qi. Here are the food recommendations. http://www.chinesemedicineliving.com/blog/medicine/organs/the-spleen/0

Dr Jason Fung - Toronto Specialist in obesity. His specialty training is in kidneys.
A 6 part series on obesity. He treats diabetic who are at the end of their rope.
He also has various other lectures on youtube. I have watched the ones on calcium and salt which are both interesting. This link is the first in the series (all about an hour) of lectures on obesity. I haven't yet watched the final 3 to find the answer! (Suspect I won't like it!)

(The sound in the background on some of the videos made me laugh. It is the sound of healthcare workers opening their soda cans with their lunch.)0 -
Back up plan. Good one. Mine is eat a serving of veggies. Easy and make me feel more in control. Thanks Charlie!
I like the article on the spleen too, Gayle. Isn't is funny how no matter which culture is involved, they all agree on processed foods being a no-no.
Having hit a buffet yesterday, I used some of this strategy too.0 -
The list is pretty easy for me, except wheat. Not sure what I'm going to do about that. Reading more about wheat free gluten free and gluten free scams. It is all about the glycemic load, as far as I can tell. I remember that I did not like any of the Atkins bread substitutes (to the point of gagging). Tell me if you find one that works for you. Or maybe you have just given up bread (horrors).0

All this stuff is so interesting.

Never been a big bread fan so, yes, I have given it up. Dr Fund's comments about durham wheat and how yields were increased in the 1960's by hybridizing, certainly makes one wonder how much our wheat resembles ancient wheat. Additionally, in Canada, the rules say 5% of the grain can be removed and still be called whole wheat. I suspect the USA is similar. The part they remove is the wheat germ where the oils and nutrients are. This helps preservation of the bread and the wheat germ can be sold, of course! So, whole grains only (not whole wheat) for best nutrition and fiber. He also recommends stone ground bread because the regular milling process (high speed) breaks down the fiber too much to be useful to us. (Sorry, you can tell who my favourite internet guy is, at the moment!) Lecture over, enjoy your bread.0 -
Thanks for the share of the pilates video. I have looked at enough to give it a try. I too never thought of Pilates as easy. I know people in their body beautiful used to pay alot to go to classes. My sister in law from Australia does it religiously every morning. I can never get past the 100 in every easy pilates book I have seen. Thanks!
(I think she is from Australia. I live with that accent!)0 -
OK guys, can't get in for another CM treatment until September 5, but guess it's not that far away. Had so many questions about food! Beginning to feel anxious about what to eat so will contract with you guys to take it slow and do what I can do. OK: I will avoid cold and especially frozen foods, no more iced tea or water or ice cream. Focus on warm, whole foods. Don't drink water to excess. Try to keep dairy and wheat to a minimum (but not willing to eliminate, yet). Take my herbs 30 minutes before meals 3 X a day. That's it. Not so hard, right? I do feel more energetic and clear headed, this last weekend especially. This is all about eliminating or at least reducing fatigue and getting my weight loss going again. I'm going to still do my high sacrifice fattening food snack midmorning.0

Thanks Lil for the pilates video, wanted to start this, but was not sure what it all involved.0

Today is my 100th day on maintenance. Every morning weight between 129-131.8.
Practicing portion control and getting in an hour of activity (cleaning, dancing &/or treadmill) every day.
washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/08/11/the-absurdity-of-womens-clothing-sizes-in-one-chart/ Did anyone see this article on women's clothing sizes over time?
I knew that the size 8 jeans that I'm wearing now aren't really the size 8 of decades ago.
While scanning some vintage slides for the county (including Joe Biden then a US Senator from DE in a 1975 parade and park dedication) it was interesting to see the general population - some overweight but no obese... and the sideburns!! and large group of kids in a bike parade - that doesn't happen anymore, here at least.0 -
I remember reading about the "hotel workers" study years ago and finally googled it today. It is interesting that considering housework as exercise can change how our body reacts to the activity.

Maybe it is a bit more that just placebo effect. I don't grumble if I forget something upstairs- I think about using my muscles! My sister lives in a ranch home and my stairs can be a challenge for her when she visits.0 -
Very interesting story, Pam. We can be so influenced by perceptions.0

Anyone else every struggle with nighttime eating after you've been within bounds all day? That's what I'm struggling with now. Here are some links to articles I've been reading: https://www.pritikin.com/your-health/health-benefits/healthy-weight-loss/1846-stop-binge-eating-at-night.html

Thanks Gayle, I can really use these.0 -
As DH would say I fell in a rabbit hole while stumbling around on the internet. This is very interesting to see a BMI comparison by country and by the world.
"Where are you on the Global Fat Scale?" bbc.com/news/health-18770328#female
I found the fun fact that I am most like someone from Yemen. Also in the United States (put in that term and not USA if you query for yourself) I have a lower BMI than 84% of women in the 60-69 age range. Also, Bangladesh has the lowest BMI of anywhere.
Give it a try!0 -

Not sure Bangladesh rates are a good thing! I suspect they struggle to find enough food.
I tried this too. I match Isreal which is a little less than the average for my age in the US. I am well above average in Canada at 66%. Interesting comparison and gives me more reason to keep at this. Thanks Pam. Aren't internet rabbit holes interesting!0 -
