Read "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis. It may give you the answer.

Counting calories becomes completely unnecessary when your food doesn't come with labels. https://scontent-a-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1460266_245062662316452_969547527_n.jpg

Carbohydrates (Carbo+Hydrate – Carbon+Water): Simple combinations of carbon and water are called sugars. The more complex ones are the starches. The most complex ones are fibers. The function is to provide instant, quick energy. Sugars: The simplest carbohydrate. Usually sweet substances found mostly in plants. The body…

It's your diet. You can't eat that way and expect to lose weight. Look into www.westonaprice.org, www.wellnessmama.com, check out the books "Wheat Belly", "Eat Fat, Lose Fat", these would be good starts.

From one former chocoholic to a present day one, I completely understand what you are going through. I too couldn't stop after one bite - and this went on for many years. What I found is that when there are certain nutrients missing from the diet, you become out of control with a particular food (and in our case,…

The body needs protein to heal and repair so in that regard, Atkins is fantastic. People also need (gasp!) saturated fat (read up on this at www.westonaprice.org). The problem with Atkins is that it also has processed food, which is bad for people (e.g., their protein bars & shakes). Whole food is the best food. Also,…

Nice! The couple that lose weight together, stay together... (or something like that!) Good job, you two!

The body needs oil - it's good for you and, you don't gain weight eating it. You just need to make sure you are picking oils that are healthy such as butter, coconut or olive oil. (A lot of people already made these suggestions.) Resources: www.westonaprice.org and www.wellnessmama.com (to name two). Btw, it's the breads,…

Have "better choices" on hand for the things you give into. For example, if it's chocolate then choose a healthier, better chocolate (like Equal Exchange Panama 80% dark). If it's ice cream, make your own shake (1 c. almond milk, 2 frozen bananas, 1 heaping TBSP peanut butter & 1 TBSP cacao (chocolate) powder. Blend.).…

Good job! Keep it up! :-)

How many times can a person start over? As many times as they need, for the rest of their lives. People often forget that "they are what they eat". To achieve optimal health and avoid future disease we have to reprogram how we think. It's not just about losing weight - that's the side benefit. It's about having optimal…

My advice to you is write down a list of things you do like, and if they're "bad" for you then take a look at possible alternatives or substitutions. For example: Chocolate Ice Cream (LOVE) Have instead: 2 frozen bananas 1 c. almond milk 1 Tbsp. cacao (chocolate) powder 1 heaping Tbsp. peanut butter Blend into a milkshake!…

WOW!!! You look fantastic! Great job!

I had success on Match.com. I went on it because two of my friends met their husbands through this website. And, I can boast that I too met my husband on Match.com! While there are a lot of emotionally unstable or strange people out there (or even "players" - that goes for both sexes), I found that I watched very closely…

Eating whatever you want and being thin does not equate to being healthy. Being in the field of clinical nutrition, I've seen more than my share of ill health. I myself had cancer twice, then landed in the hospital with one of the worst cases of Ulcerative Colitis the doctors had ever seen. All while being thin (and eating…

If I were in your shoes, I would email or text him and tell him how you feel. Not necessarily to expect an answer (but you never know!) but to get it out there and move on. I would do something simple like this: "I hope this email/text finds you well. I'm sorry we don't talk or hang out anymore. I miss that. During that…

As a former anorexic/bulimic (and I too am 5'3"), I know a bit about this... I had 6 years of eating disorders followed by years of unhealthy body image. I have been as low as 95 pounds and as high as 145 pounds. "They say" as you get older your metabolism slows down and you are supposed to weigh a bit more. Well, at 47 I…

OKRA!

I believe it depends on the person and the circumstances. You can't blanket everyone into "once a cheater always a cheater". Nor can you say everyone has or is entitled to one mistake. Each situation is unique.

You say you have a long way to go but those 30 pounds made a BIG difference - you look (in the words of Billy Crystal) "mahvelous"!

I made many online attempts - from 2005 to 2009. I would put my profile up as "this time" I would find who I was looking for, only to quickly become discouraged, let down, frustrated and take my profile down. (Analogous to "this time I'm really starting my diet...") My last attempt at being online I made one rule for…

Hi, Heidi. Though I wasn't 100 pounds+ overweight, I do know what it's like to have an eating disorder and to struggle with body image and weight. The most I gained was 60 pounds in 9 months. At one time (when I was a teenager) I was put on Imipramine. It "helped" but I didn't want to be dependent on medication as I wanted…
