  • I don't do Keto, or other specific and food group insufficient. Low carb is good as long as the carbs are complex, meaning; slow to metabolize. Basically, eating natural foods or foods with high fiber. Eating protein is good, natural sugar is good. Fat is okay as natural fat. In a day look at your food choices and change…
  • I agree with this logic and follow it. Seems to me, most of us are not scientist, do not spend days researching products and byproducts. Just because someone tries to refute what you or I think doesn't make any of us "wrong", stop bashing and start helping one another down this road that we are all on. Healthy, but not…
  • I just googled Dr Ian. Found his diet plan to be encouraging, he has a no nonsense approach so, I decided to get the kindle version (instant download - no waiting) "Get ready to Shred" for $1.99, probably the original version?? I'll read it and give it a go, only out 2 bucks if I don't like it. I am on the "Eat to Live"…
  • Give a hint; is that plan specific as to what you can eat daily or weekly? I'll have to search it out. How is your energy and mood while on the plan?
  • My normal is to eat easy foods vs cooking clean and healthy. I would love to eat the menu you have described. However, it just triggers cravings that test my willpower beyond my will!! So for me, 4 months of eating clean, soda free, has netted 25 lb loss. The superbowl festivities triggered lots of cravings, took a week to…
  • I had a healthy snack bar instead of a Snickers Bar! Snickers throws me into a binge and the snack bar does not!! yeah! --whatever it takes right?!
  • sounds awesome! Love any and all nuts - I will be trying this, thank you!
  • When you eat below 1200 calories, your body just isn't getting the fuel it needs to run. It will begin to shut you metabolism down and you will not loose like you did the first few days (which was mostly water weight). Sounds tough to hear, but at the age of 53, I have spent my life on one diet or another. I am glad I…
  • I binge on cookies, nuts, and chocolate. Mainly sugar snacks. I remedy this by not bringing any of those things in the house. I can control the mixed nut portions, unsalted nuts are good nutrition in moderation. I have found drinking Silk Almond Chocolate Milk satisfies my taste for chocolate and adds calcium, without…
  • Have you considered sodium levels in your diet? I can gain large amounts quickly when I eat sodium ladden foods (which is chips, oriental, canned, etc).
  • I am 53 and once again on the journey to loose 130 lbs, have lost 18 lbs so far folks!! No one has given me this tip, but a life time of dietting has taught me: I will always have a green eyed monster trying to control what I eat - and it loves food, mostly bad food. I have realized it is up to me to decide everyday this…
