If you're reading the forums I believe you're using the website, so to "favorite" a post... heck doesn't IE even call them favourites to this day? Use a feature of your browser to favorite / bookmark whatever thread you want to come back to, "my topics" only stores your 25 most recent posts so depending on how often you post in the forums it may or may not be there, but I can still hit my bookmarks from my first days here that helped me get started.

Brilliant post !

Very interesting read, thank you for that!! Its really given me some ideas of what i could be doing to help myself!! I was telling myself off for having at least 1 spoon of reduced fat peanut butter each day, but i do find it feels me up at the time i am having it!! Thanks again!!

try adding in about 5-8 whole almonds unsalted a day you will see benefits from it.

I will give that a try thanks

Echoing the above post about ingredients, ditch the reduced fat. Look at the calories and they use sugar to make up for the fat they got rid of. For the small calorie difference eat an all natural peanut only no salt added one. I was using lot fat peanut butter then Iooked at the ingredients and say the second ingredient was icing sugar. It was the last fat reduced peanut butter I ever purchased.

The original post is a good one.

Surely you meant last fat reduced product. :P

Gimme the full fat full flavour miracle whip, I can achieve the same 30% reduction in amount of fat by just using 30% less product.

Ditto to rileysowner- when a food product is labeled nonfat or low fat read the label and check the sugar. Sugar is added to improve flavor. Healthy fats are good for you and your body needs them. Too much sugar intake contributes to gaining fat around the middle which may put you at risk for heart disease or diabetes. Depending on your goals and health issues reading the label of the food you buy is very important to check sodium, fat, sugar, carb count, etc. That's what I like about the food diary on this site. I can track not only my calorie intake and calories burned but also my sugar, calcium, carbs, sodium and fiber.

Just finished reading Tom Venuto's book "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" last week. Exactly what that book states.. Excellent points made. Thanks for sharing here! I will be sending you a friend invite... With a reason why... ;-)

thanks for all the feedback guys and I sincerely hope that it reaches not only the women overworking themselves but the men as well because I have seen both sides doing this. Recently had a run in with a guy at the gym I go to ask me why I seem to keep losing and he is working his butt off and staying the same. I told him why and he was in disbelief until I said '" yes it is that simple buddy, feed the muscle and let it eat the fat"

I hope you told him about HIIT and Metabolic Resistance Training. Far more effective than many other ways of working out, although much more draining.

yep indeed I did, he had commented that he saw me change my routine a week ago and was curious as to why, he had seen me doing HIIT on the treadmill and had tried to emulate that himself but was not sure what he was doing. So I gave him the info on HIIT and MRT and told him to check it out.

Trying to get ticker to post, must be doing someting wrong, I started this program several times, last time on Oct 10 2010. I weighed 295.5, BP and Sugar was getting high. I am down to 225.5 right now, goal 180. Main differance this time went low carb, dialed down carbs to 35 percent of normal on custom feature. Am also useing tread mill one hour day, was going 3.5 MPH but moved it down to 3 MPH. Could walk at 3 MPH and read Kindle Books easier (you can change size of print) and calorie use only decreased from about 450 to 400. I am planning on doing this for life. Low carb diet seems to be reduceing my cravings for food plus am more relaxed.
