The amazing thing is that so much of the low-carb argument is centered around diabetes. And then there's the cholesterol argument coming up in this thread - and the latest information I can find from a legitimate research study proves that the most worrisome problem for diabetics in regards to heart disease is low HDL…

How many calories per day is this exact plan as you described it?

what does this have to do with introducing yourself?

Good job recognizing that something is wrong. And even better job making an appointment to get some help. BED is a recognized eating disorder, and getting treatment is definitely heading in the right direction.

The chef at the restaurant has some health code laws to follow, at least. And is bound within the constraints of a kitchen where only he and other restaurant staff are allowed. The samples are handed out by people who are not under any health code laws, can touch any surface in the store touched by anyone and everyone else…

Right - not everyone reading along is a postmenopausal women. Other people need to be mindful of cholesterol. Just saying what applies to you as if it applies to everyone can be dangerous.

Ah, I see.

How old is your son? If he is still living at home why would you allow him to use a supposed 'supplement' without thoroughly researching it first? While this one might be relatively harmless, some of them can be quite dangerous.

1 - the velvet dries, itches, and they rub it off in August. There is no velvet on their antlers when they are mature, so there wouldn't be any on sheds found in the woods. 2 - In most states, the gun deer season is sometime in the fall/early winter. Bucks don't shed their antlers until the end of winter, in February or…

Um.... what? What does high cholesterol have to do with heart disease? Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in cells in all parts of the body. When there is too much cholesterol in your blood, cholesterol can build up on the walls of your arteries and cause blood clots. Cholesterol can clog your arteries and keep your…

If it is made from velvet, it must be harvested from captive deer. Deer shed their velvet by scraping it off while it dies and dries, in the wild. There is no velvet on them by the time they are harvested during hunting in the fall, or shed the antlers in the winter.

Emotional eating has very little to do with cravings or hunger.

You're only 20 years old. Healthy has to do with a lot more than measurements and weight. How do you eat? Do you have your macros set to fuel your workouts? Do you get plenty of sleep? Do you see a doctor regularly for a physical and checkups? That is the sort of thing that will tell you if you are healthy. Three pounds is…

BLTs, as they are called, (Bites, Licks, and Tastes) are a big part of the great unknown calorie source of people trying to lose weight who can't figure out why they can't. If you're going to do it, (and I'd advice against the samples at the store - who knows if the sample people even wash their hands), then you need to…

Identifying that it's an emotional stimuli is the first step. That's great! Now how to deal with the emotions? You probably know by now that eating doesn't make the feelings get better - in fact, now you have to deal with guilt, on top of the sadness or madness that you started with. Instead, trying either 1)exercising -…

These come in a bag of individually wrapped squares. buy the bag, have a square, log it. Or have two. it's okay. Just log them.

Whoo, look at everything getting thrown at you! Take a breath. Relax. Set up your profile - for your activity level, you're most likely lightly active unless you really don't move much at all. (exercise doesn't count in your activity level, by the way). If you have a lot of weight to lose, you can set your goal for 2…

Realistic expectations are of primary importance. Telling patients they can't eat carbs, or have to keep them at a level they may see as unrealistically low, sets many people up for failure. Working with patients to help them find a working diet of moderation that can lead to long-term success, with the help of…

They are pretty tasty. Although brining is supposed to be penultimate way to make a tasty, juicy turkey according to the 'experts'. My brother-in-law had to resort to emergency methods last year when his father forgot to take the turkey out of the freezer early. It was still frozen the day before Christmas. So he put it in…

This isn't the same with lumbar fusions. The walking is usually started much more slowly, and increased slowly. Lumbar disk injuries and fusion surgeries usually result in weight lifting restrictions, and all of this should only be done per the instructions of the doctor and/or a physical therapist. As I said before,…

It's very possible that you do have something going on medically, if you are weighing your food and following your calorie deficit and still not losing weight. If this is the case, you should ask your doctor to perform the blood work necessary to check your thyroid and to rule out any other medical conditions that could…

also anything 'verified' on the website just means that a certain number of people used the entry. That doesn't mean it's correct.

The only way to actually know would be to measure your oil prior to deep frying the turkey and then after. Also weigh the turkey. Then calculate the calories in oil the turkey absorbed. Debone the turkey and weigh the bones, subtract that weight from the weight of the turkey. Now calculate the calories in the turkey, add…

Considering that it's a prescription medication that is only prescribed as a fertility treatment, there's no legal way to actually get it to use it for any other purpose. Absolutely none.

You need to not demonize food groups - your doctor did that, and that's wrong. Without running any bloodwork or tests, she has no idea about your overall health picture, and that's a mistake. Instead, she generalized you by saying 'older women' and then demonized food. Older women shouldn't have any problem losing weight.…

Hello there. I had a 2-level fusion 12 years ago, and a partial diskectomy and laminectomy 5 years ago. I have two facets trapped under the top two screws of the fusion that are now flaring and causing me to be completely disabled yet again. Please feel free to ask me any questions, either here in this thread, or send me a…

Having cooked with meat quite often, I can say that a 5-pound roast is not very large. Muscle is more dense, while adipose tissue has more volume. So fat will take up more space.

OP, since this is a direct quote from your original thread post - My doc said older women, which I am one, have many problems with these two as far as weight loss goes. She said cut down on carbs and sugar. we can only go off of that information. You don't indicate that she performed any medical testing, bloodwork, etc on…

It is true, but it isn't easy. Eating below calorie burn proves to be a challenge for many people. Finding what works, such as low carb high fat, or vegetarianism, can often be a key part of making it work.

Okay, so 20 hours. That's a blip on the educational radar. And since they don't add to it with their continuing education credits, unlikely they even remember any of it. That's why a good GP will refer patients to a specialist. GPs keeping patients in their office and giving nutritional advice isn't good medical practice.
