Ive been on it since Sept 10 and have lost 36 pounds. Its hard at first but it gets easier. If you follow it through it should train you to live differently. If I go back to eating a lot of sweets and crap then yes I'll gain the weight back. But it does indeed work

I'mcurrently on the dukan diet. Cruise phase. Lost 35# so far, feel free to add me.

Greens:spinach, kale, etc etc salsa chicken onions red and green peppers garlic

I got a flex a couple of months ago. Its neat and I like it. If you need the money for something else though just save your money. It has not revolutionized my weight loss. It makes me more aware of my activity level or lack thereof so that is a good thing. I can tell days where i do not get enough activity shows up on the…

Eat 10 or so dried prunes and drink a substantial amount of water...you will see the effects 2-3 hours. Also low fat intake could be an issue as well

I see. I never argued the aerobic benefits. I was looking at it from a physics standpoint. I guess I need to factor in the inefficiencies of human locomotion. Running movements must be more inefficient than walking movements in order to expend so much extra energy. I didnt really look at it from that angle until now. Thanks

Think of it this way..it should take the same amount of energy to move a given weight a given distance. The difference between running and walking is that you cover more distance over a given period of time so you are burning more energy in that given amount of time. I realize this is probably not exact but theoretically…

I have a dietitian to gives the advice of targeting 30-60 grams of carbohydrates per meal every day. She said that low blood sugar creates a starvation response in your body. She said you need to keep from getting to that point in order to maintain blood sugar on an even keel. That will help you control your food intake…

Is it any different than being married to an alcoholic or drug addict that refuses to help themselves?

It sounds like he tried to help you but you werent able to help yourself. When he left it seems (at least from reading your post) that you finally were able to get your life together? Maybe him leaving was the best thing for you?

Im completely debt free. I use mint.com. Ive used it for 3-4 years and its completely free. I cant recommend it enough.

I was your size 2 years ago. Ive lost over 50 pounds since then. First of all you have to start cooking for yourself. It takes time and you dont have to do it all in one fail swoop. I only discovered this site in the last year or so. Start by cooking simple things and moving to more complicated things as time goes. Soups…

I have had serious problems with protein shakes and constipation. I do think its different for everyone though. I have to watch my fiber intake at all times or I end up with issues like this. Its something a person should be aware of before they start using these shakes.

Nonfat plain greek yogurt Beans of almost any kind chicken and turkey breast Soy milk Egg Whites I am almost always high on protein and under on carbs and fat. I eat a lot of vegetables and the above items. I eat these things almost every day in different ways.

I was trying to kill myself after what seems like a life of failure after failure. I was going to eat myself to death for the simple reason that when I am eating I was happy. Everything else about my life might be miserable but at least for the 5-10 minutes I was scarfing down food, I was happy. In the matter of about 2…

On Sunday night I always boil enough eggs for breakfast for the following week. I also make a large pot of some kind of bean soup or stew. I take that for lunch every day. I make up low fat ranch dressing using nonfat greek yogurt and spices. I use that for dipping veggies as well as putting on potatoes. I have a bag of…
