Love it!

Yes I did. Makes you appreciate why you stopped eating the bad stuff in the first place.

This is a really good post. Thanks for sharing and helping.

10 lbs? You may be doing too much cardio.......stagger your work outs and see what happens....also, you begin your day with a flood of insulin triggering carbs.......I would focus on more protein and less carbs throughout the day. If you are interested, www.MarksDailyApple.com.

@krypt5 I'm sorry, but you are the one who does not understand how insulin works. Nor do you take into account that some people can be more resistant or less resistance to insulin. The ingestion of carbohydrates, even with protein, can impact someone's insulin level significantly.

Thanks for posting that. My takeaway.......my brain is trying to kill me.

Great decision. And this site is a great tool, scientifically AND emotionally speaking. 1st, become friends with others that have lost over 100 and are losing over 100. 2nd, log everything that goes into your mouth, everyday, here on your page, and allow friends to view your diary. 3rd have a plan to change your lifestyle…

Only when I walk.

I haven't seen your diary, but I bet if you cut the carbs to 50g or less a day and increased your protein you wouldn't be as hungry.

You probably don't want to hear this, but you are eating too many carbs. And 30 min of running every day is too much. That much stress on your body is flooding your system with cortisol. The carbs are triggering insulin, and that causes you not to burn fat. Check out www.MArksDailyApple.com. Try it for a couple of weeks…

Incredible man. Keep it going. What differences have you felt so far?

Its a little more difficult here at Halloween, isn't it? For me, cutting carbs and artificial sweeteners and fruit for 3 days straight stopped my cravings. Then eating less than 50g of carbs a day and no artificial sweeteners/diet sodas help keep your mind off sweets. Check out www.MarksDailyApple.com Good luck!

Well first you have to read the actual science. If it were just about calories you could eat 1200 calories of Twinkies a day and be thin, could you not?

Doc prescribed water pills......I'll report back in a couple of days.

It's all about the insulin. No, an artificial sweetener has no carbs or sugar to directly add calories. But the sweet taste in your mouth does in fact tell your brain to send the insulin out. This is what causes the body to stop burning fat and to start storing it. So no, it doesn't DIRECTLY stall weight loss or cause…

I wonder how many FEET in diameter my wrist needs to be for my 59% BMI to be merely "overweight".......................?

Damn, that looks good to me.

Do what your Dr. says............

So far, the replies have been an echo of the voices in my head.......... I was engaging in a little bit of hyperbole when I said "engorge".....I anticipate a few kit kats, dove singles, snickers (the Mini sizes...not the full blown size), and maybe a slice of chocolate cheese cake.......as to the dark chocolate.....that…

Get your BMI reading. If you are a sedentary person, you need .7 grams of protein a day for every pound of LEAN body mass. If you are more active it could go as high as .9 or 1 gram per pound of lean body mass. This is important to know because excess protein, just like excess anything else in your body will be stored as…

You are getting good advice. I would also try to add strength training at least two days a week instead of walking. I would also add a day or two of sprinting instead of walking too. With the low amount of calories you consume your body has probably set your thermostat a lot lower than where it was when you started.

Wow, fantastic! Keep up the hard work!

Mainly its the lactose-a sugar. Sugars, in ALL forms, raise your insulin level. Insulin in the bloodstream prevents you from burning fat or as much fat as you normally would, and tells your body to store the nutrients in your bloodstream as fat. Cut it out of your diet for 2 weeks and see what happens.

How is the taste and texture of the spaghetti squash compared to pasta?

Yes! It's one of those where I don't want to watch but I have to!

Wow. Unbelievable. That is fantastic.

Yes it does matter. Certain hormones are triggered by a certain amount of time after your last digestion. If you don't give your body enough time to be fasting while you sleep your metabolsm suffers. For those of you who feel differently do some research on this and you'll find out you are mistaken.

Holy cow.........wow. Way to go man.

Um.....wow.
