You are beautiful, you are not a whale. You may have extra fat. But that doesn't make you a bad person. Getting taking control of your health is a good thing, but it doesn't make you any better of a person. Remember all your good qualities, because that is what really matters. xx

Here is a link to my blog. Most recipes are Low Carb and Or Paleo www.inspirerealcooking.blogspot.com

I might as well hook up an IV directly to my vein!

Bump

He also talked about the cravings he got, you think that eating Mc Donalds every day for that long you would be sick of it, but no he craved it, he also talked about dreaming about the food, waking up with is mouth watering. What is IN the food???????? What makes people want and crave it, have to have it!!! Is there no…

I'm just saying for those of you reading this, who are struggling, like I did. Who are restricting calories, (eating low fat and or processed crap) and exercising, you think you are eating "healthy" but still having health issues, or not losing weight. There are other options. [None of which are valid obviously according…

I'm not saying there is a one size fits all diet. I'm saying that for some, who try to just eat what they want, but stay within their calorie range, and continue to have health issues, problems with diabetes, food addiction, or just can't lose weight. There is other options out there. Eat less and Exercise more has been…

Uh no, not quite. I ate way over what MFP suggested that I should eat to be calorie deficient to lose weight. For example MFP said I needed to eat 1500 calories, I ate 2200, High Fat diet, and lost weight. Foods that have highly addictive chemicals put in them to make you crave and want them, some people may be more…

Well its worked for me. 4 years I've been on myfitnesspal, 4 years of watching my carbs. Lost 160 pounds, And I dont have to kill myself in the gym, I can exercise when I want to and moderately. Im healthy and see processed junk food with no nutritional value can be consumed by some along with a healthy diet, its just cant…

I lost all my weight by being in a state of ketosis, low carbohydrate, moderate protein, high fat. and I was for almost 3 1/2 years. It worked for me.

Funny thing 100 years ago, when we didn't have processed foods, high sugar intake, chemicals all over the place. The % of cancer was very very low. With the rise of all this Junk food that (those who are addicted to it, so readily defend) came all these horrible diseases, that apparently there are no cure for. Well that is…

I totally agree sweeteners are worse. And both can be avoided. Sugar feeds diseases.

It's hopefully a better option because it's not sprayed with crazy chemicals, and it's not GMO! Glad we can be the guinea pigs for the government who says that GMO's are just as safe as non-GMO foods. Lies all lies!

I'm sorry that you are behind on the current understandings. There is more to our bodies than just calories in calories out. And to keep disease and illness away it's about the quality of the food that goes in, not just keeping tabs on the numbers. Not all calories are created equal.

Sugar is a drug, and those who are addicted can't be trusted to give you healthful advice on how it really effects your body. 100 years ago the average person ate 5 lbs a year of sugar. Now we on average are eating 150 lbs of sugar a year. WOW! With the rise of processed foods, sugar, and food chemicals, came the rise of…

Like I said at the beginning, I'm not going to argue. I just posted this for anyone who wants to know what I feel is the reason for my success. I also said take it or leave it. No comment necessary if you are leaving it. LOL :) Thanks ya'll for your encouraging words!

Thank you for posting. We all have struggles. I hope you can get on track. :flowerforyou:

Nope No Grains.

Everyone has to chose for themselves, and for you and me amd many others, those processed junk foods dont work for me. They make me sick, hurt, and effect , my mood and ability to control cravings. Its not worth it. I want to feel good.

Your post made me smile

Yes its not just about losing weight. Its also about healing.

Or perhapse grains?

Im sorry I didnt go into detail, but sugar in natural whole fruits veg and nuts and seeds are Not in the same category as processed foods and highly refind sugar products, such as candy, soda ect. Thank you.

Thank you very much. It's also not just about getting the weight off, there are lots if ways to lose weight. Learning how to keep it off is more tricky. Thanks for your encouragement

Yes! :-)

Great Job keep it up :-)

No I'm not vegan, or vegetarian. I eat meat also and try to get it from humanely raised, local farms when possible. My diet consists of mean fruit and veg. Healthy fats and nuts and seeds.

I just wanted to clarify my point about organic, if all you have access to is conventionally grown veg, its better than eating junk. But conventionally grown are often sprayed with toxic pesticides that the govt wants us to think are safe. Just like they want us to think the chemicals and other toxic ingredients they use…

Thanks everyone!

I agree. But they aren't sprayed with crap.
