I agree. The goal is to stay long term in a healty range, and you can take your time getting there and figuring out a way that works for you.So, whatever you lost don't add it back. take a break and stay there for a while. I lost 40 pounds from a BMI of 28 to 22, I would like to get to 20, but it is getting slower lately,…

Ex'es what can you say. I think many of us have been there.

Yes, I think that's the key point. If you are in the healthy range, no problem, If you are way over it doesn't really matter if you are overweight or obese. You need to bring your weight down, or you are going to have health issues.

Yes, I would keep the weekly loss small. Looking at the statistics, it is even harder to keep the weight off over time than losing it. I think too many people lose their weight too fast, and then either give up before they get their or after they reach their goal, reward themselves by eating what they ate before. Hence…

Ok, my last post on this topic. Looking around I found these are two relevant, balanced peer-reviewed, well cited, articles. The second one is a follow-up to the original, which started most of this diet debate 25 years ago. The first one lists the following numbers as an estimated ancestral Hunter-Gatherer diet (numbers…

70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs Ok, to bring this back to the original topic, what evidence is there to support this high fat diet? And sorry, lomg post here. First off, if you believe in the paleo/primal diet and think that there is a Government/USDA/Monsanto conspiracy that wants us to be unhealthy, uninformed, etc.,…

No advice, I bike most days about 4 miles one way. But I take nothing except a cell. If something happens I will call someone or a cab to pick me up. But sofar nothing has happened. Good luck.

What's the point? Our body is made up of water, protein, carbohydrates, and yes fats too. Why does this support your point that we should mainly eat fat?

Ok, Read This http://reason.com/archives/2003/03/01/big-fat-fake Gary Taubes is just another moron who makes things up as he goes along. No references to any credible studies on his blog anywhere.

Ok, where do you get this from? Reference please. An do you have any health statistics for the same people? Or are you just making this up?

Some words for you. Do you have any real studie references? Or just blogs? Anyone can write anything in a blog. Do you really believe everything posted anywhere on the net?

Ok, Based on what study?? Any source?? Or are you just making this up?

OK, I had not lost any weight in a month with calorie set at losing 1lb per week. Changed to 0.5lb per week two weeks ago and have lost 3lb since then. So, yes eating a bit more seems to help when you are in the normal BMI range.

Ok, show me a reference to a credible article showing proof for this! The only point bought up and is implied is allergies, and there is no evidence supporting this anywhere. And for GMO to be non-edible? Why? It adds a protein, all proteins are digested. What do you base this on??

Ok, I will try 0.5lb a week too. My BMI is now 22.5 – 23 now and I have not lost any weight in the last 4 weeks. But another question what do you base your final goal on?

Good Point. My dad, a Dutch farmer ate the same, which beause he work hard, was never an issue. But when he kept eating like this in his 60ties and 70ties, when he retired it did become an issue. Calories in and calories out. When you work less you need to lower your calories intake. You need to target your intake to the…

So, to respond: 1. First off, you need to mellow a bit. We can have a normal discussion, without making this, or taking this personal. 2. Secondly, for me, no diet plan, calories in calories out, that’s the bottom line. And if you want to diet follow this: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/ That’s the most intelligent diet…

Mercola.com FYI: http://www.quackwatch.com/11Ind/mercola.html

Well, I guess I am prodded in responding. 1. Mercola.com, another website who want to make money of your weight and health. If you want to trust them, it is you choice. I prefer the National Institute of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, etc. 2. There are two issues here, often confounded; weight and health. 3. For weight, calories…

Probably caused by the temperature of your house. Scale might show a different reading when it is at a different temperature.

Yes, I agree eat more apples, whole grain, etc, I do too. But i am restricting calories and losing weight, and restricting carbs especially. With this, it is hard to get up to 30 grams of fiber. Hence I use some fiber supplements each day. But yes, sometimes you get gassy, especially when you start. So start slowly and add…

Yes, good idea, I use the sams club brand generic and keep my fiber above 30 grams per day. I use 1-3 6 pills per day, depending on the day. Just drink a lot of water each time.

Correct, see http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html

Easy answer. No diet at all. Calories in and calories out, that’s all that matters for losing weight. Eat less, and/or exercise more, do that and you will lose weight. Healthy nutrition is a different story, and yes, I do pay attention to what I eat for other reasons, like cholesterol, prediabetes, cancer risk, etc. I have…

No point arguing with these people. People who follow these diets seem like reborn religious converts to me. It does not matter what you say their mind is made up, and they are fervent in trying to convert you, and defend their choice of faith/diet. Often they claim that there is a government/industry/Monsanto conspiracy…

Article is here. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081016074701.htm Quote "Eating too much fructose can induce leptin resistance, a condition that can easily lead to becoming overweight when combined with a high-fat, high-calorie diet, according to a new study with rats." Notice it is a study with rats on a…

http://www.credentialwatch.org/reports/iin.shtml Check this link, that should address the credentials of "board-certified health counselors" of the "Institute for Integrative Nutrition". Bottom line is $4,995 plus an additional $495, for the "Certificate in Health Counseling" and watching some web siminars gets you the…

Sorry forgot t copy the original srticle info: Erratum. The Publisher apologises for any inconvenience caused by this mistake. Increased dietary cholesterol does not increase plasma low density lipoprotein when accompanied by an energy-restricted diet and weight loss. Nicola L. Harman, Anthony R. Leeds and Bruce A. Griffin…

Yes. she is giving out bogus information, check this posting where whe is arguing that lots of eggs and cholesterol is good for you. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/173938-after-30-years-eggs-are-good-again After 30 years, Eggs are good again??

This is misleading at the best. See below. First this research is supported by the British Egg Council, which the authors did not disclose in the original article, only afterwards, hence the erratum. Secondly, see the abstract below. This was only a 12 week study with 45 people. That’s a very small study for a very short…
