A good book by Michael Pollan is "IN DEFENSE OF FOOD (AN EATER'S MANIFESTO. Author of "THE OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA". Website is WWW.VPBOOKCLUB.COM Another book by Michael is FOOD RULES-AN EATER'S MANUAL. I borrowed the first book mentioned from my physician.

I'm not totally giving up meat, I'll still have fish and chicken...maybe some turkey once in awhile....:happy:

Hello all, I have a request for someone to look at the things I eat, I end up eating under my calories, and over on other things. Thanks in advance.

Amazing!....you simply look amazing!

I don't believe in quick fixes...no dp's for me either!

My biggest downfall was that I would eat 3 of the medium size cartons of my fave Ice cream a day or one sitting, and not for desert, they would be my dinner. Now and then I would have one of the oval tubs of ice cream if I really got a sweet tooth.

Welcome aboard freedomtennis! Good health and success in all your endeavors! Oh! and I'm pushing 60. Besides 50, 60 or ? their just numbers. You have 50 years worth of wisdom behind you. You'll do fine. You have your family here tio support you.

That is so sick, it's disgusting !

Well so far I have lost "an ostrich egg" and going for "10 large eggs".

Hi BiggestloserF, I, too, am fairly new to this site, I was referred to it by my Personal Trainer at the club where I workout. In about a week and a half or so I've lost 4 lbs. Count me in as a friend if you want.

I like Arizona Green tea too, I really like the diet one. But when I make the tea at home I also use splenda. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice taste. It's up to the dieter. Bottom line is either you're willing to make sacrifices or you're not. (my opinion)

@otonswife, Congratulations on having your baby boy!

@3GKnight Good advice to Ryan. I could use some of that same advice......staying focussed on my own health but I'm always willing to give help where needed and if asked. Good Health JG.

Hello Ryan, I, too, am new, I started on the 13th of this month. I came over to MFP from another program similar to MFP. I like MFP better though. I really like their format. Hi! I'm Patricia, I'm from Medford, Oregon, and I just turned 59 yrs young on the 11th of October. I think of myself as young because I keep myself…
