" Can it prevent or control diabetes? No good evidence suggests that Atkins accomplishes either. Read More Prevention: Research into Atkins or other low-carb diets is sparse. Frequent spikes and dips in blood glucose after carb-heavy meals can, according to Atkins literature, lead to insulin resistance, a frequent…

From the FDA's website it says "Phentermine hydrochloride tablets USP are indicated as a short-term (a few weeks) adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction based on exercise, behavioral modification and caloric restriction in the management of exogenous obesity for patients with an initial body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2, or ≥…

Dancing definitely works along with logging cals. I have the xboxone & JD2014 & ZWP

The "grave and serious heart valve" issue would definitely deter a lot of people from this. This is a story about the Rise & Fall of Fen-Phen. The PHEN in Fen-Phen was Phenteramine, what the OP was prescribed. Scary stuff. But then again, it reminds me of other "doctor" advice given to my family. Douche with Lysol (great…

I wonder if you get nervous a lot and need to go then too? It could be interstitial cystitis http://www.urologyhealth.org/urology/index.cfm?article=67 I get this a lot. What helps me is drinking cranberry juice or pomegranate juice.

Scale - this is going to be important. Contrary to all the good reviews of the #1 scale on amazon, (aka the Eat Smart scale), it does not take accurate digital readings. It relies on your last weight and won't move down until you've reached so many 10ths of a pound. So that one is garbage. Most of the cheap scales are just…

I'm doing Just Dance 2014 and Zumba World Party on the XboxOne because of it's superior tracking. I would venture to guess that every song is about 20 cals, but really intense ones are about 30 cals. For me it takes about 4 songs or sometimes 5 songs to burn off 100 cals. An hour of dancing is going to be about 400 cals.…

epulse2 is what I use.

Well to that chick arguing with me then brings up Switzerland - I will agree with you there. I forgot to mention Switzerland, which is a great place, and I have also been there countless times. And LOVE IT. Yes the Swiss are thin as rails too, my BIL lives there, and I love it there. So yes, will agree with you there about…

I lost 40 when I first started. Since then my life took some very unexpected turns. And it was really stressful. I mean I have an ulcer, that much stress. I made a group for people interested in losing 10# a month if any of the returnees are interested http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/18126-lose-10-lbs-a-month

I am American & I thank you for this, well to me they are rail thin. While there are occasionally a large German mostly they're thin. Italians drink Espresso for breakfast so that could be the reason they're thin too. However, I still stand by what I'm saying, they are thin in Europe, maybe to my American eyes they are…
-
Well, I haven't been to Greece nor Spain & most of the Med. countries, but I do go frequently to the ones I mentioned. One of the reasons I believe that Parisians are rail thin is because they literally walk everywhere, like Germans do too.. Everywhere or bike, but mostly walk. And FAST. I know what you're saying about…
-
My family is also European, and I was just there, last year. Were you? I spend a LOT of time in Europe. I also have family there right now. My husband is from there and when I met him he was....skinny as a rail. RAIL THIN is NORMAL in Europe, especially in those countries. When was the last time you were there? I go 2x per…

The no-carb jerks are jerks, period. Go to Paris, France. What is one of the staples of the French diet? BAGUETTES! In fact, it's quite normal to have a MORNING BUN, for lunch French cheese and a baguette and baguette with your dinner. And they are RAIL THIN! Same with ITALY - RAIL THIN, PASTA PASTA PASTA & bread! Amazing…
-
Every single one of these no-carb jerks are idiots. Have you been to France, Paris in particular? People eat BREAD, great bread btw, every single day. It's amazing bread and guess what? They are thin as the thinnest Asians. Italy - Sophia Loren said that her gorgeous body was due to PASTA. She was also pretty skinny most…

I love it that this post is getting way more than the paleo people below us. Keep bumping!!
-
No, Sophie wasn't Jewish in the movie or the book. But Challah is an awesome bread, however trying to make a really great one at home that is really soft is ...almost impossible. And ones from most bakeries are awful as well.
-
Tiger bread is Dutch Crunch in the SF Bay Area.
-
Gosselin Bakery in Paris, France - baguettes. END OF THREAD!

I do it at home on the xboxone with Zumba World Party and/or Just Dance 2014. ZWP burns anywhere from 400 (on a bad day) cals to 600+ an hour.
-
May I suggest getting an Xbox one, buy the Gold - get the fitness channel. Buy Just Dance 2014 & Zumba World Party. Get a HRM. Zumba burns anywhere from 400 - 600+ cals an hour. Buy cheap dumbells at Target or Sports Authority, or used. I use them to do a light dumbbells w.o. & watch things I like on netflix, like…
-
Ok, this is just MY advice, but get a zumba dvd/app/ xbox 1/360 thing to start doing at home. Get a HRM. And start recording your cals. Work up to 1 hour in the am and 1 hour in the pm and you will see results. Look at my food diary.
-
No, bread is not evil. Have you ever been to Paris, France? They eat baguettes daily. They are all skinny as a rail there. And they eat great food too. Again, skinny as rails, they eat bread & fatty foods. They do WALK a lot.
-
I will be honest and thought this would be another low carb fad diet that the OP posted. However, there IS science backing up the fact that one should not be doing low fat diets - they're actually not healthy for you (!!). FWIW, I eat coconut oil daily. It helps with a lot of stuff, if you know what I mean. I also bathe in…

FWIW the reknowned Tom Venuto says this about loose skin http://www.burnthefat.com/loose_skin.html

OP, from what I understand, weight lifting takes care of the loose skin. LIFT WEIGHTS and there should be less of a problem. Here's expert Tom Venuto http://www.burnthefat.com/loose_skin.html

Hi, just wanted you to know that you made the first step, and honestly, that's the hardest step. You can and will do this. I invited you to my group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/18126-lose-10-lbs-a-month One thing I am now doing that I never did before, take a selfie weekly when you're weighing in. Make it as…

Loseit is very cool but their food selections are not where MFP is. They have a really great website, but, everyone is here...sooo...that means their food / meal selections are low. Additionally, Loseit CHARGES.

There's a really inspiring success thread here with women who lift weights. They went from large bellies to flat ones. So it is possible in spite of one's genetic propensities. I have no idea where you live OP but I bought weights really cheap at Target. Unfortunately they're not listed on their site. But you can get say 1…

I find that weight lifting and doing abs doesn't burn a lot of cals - I use my HRM anyway. It's not a chest strap one, it's an epulse2 watch type and I love it. I have 2 of them.
