Ok goal is to lose 5 pounds and go low carb and start exercising for an hour each day

Hey my name is Ernie and my goal is to lose 4 pounds. SW220.00 Paleo Dude 31% body fat=64-20*height in inches/waist in inches

I started a juice detox on Wed, no solid food, no coffee nor alcohol, now i have lost 9 pounds. I think it will be very difficult to carry this for 5 more days but I have to try. I had lost thirthy pounds three years ago by following a low carb diet but I saw myself going back to cookies, beer and ice cream. I spoke with a…

Ok, it is start of day 4, overall no starvation mode but there are hunger pains which green tea seems to alleviate. I put in a long day at work with no side affects. Starting my day at my favorite coffee lounge with a cup of green tea. I started on Wed and I have managed to lose 7 pounds in three days. Eventhough I am a…

I guss you can count me in as one of the gullible people. I juiced for about 5 days then I saw the documentary or commercial and I for one feel that it is a good way to re-boot my system. I am finishing day two of my 10 day detox and feel ok. In my past I have been able to maintain a 2 day fast without anything and have…

I have to go to a beer tasting tonight, not worried about my carb intake but I am worried about drinking because I am not eating as much the alcohol hits me harder. I will have a salad before I leave work.

I think you have to see that habits are very hard to break, then you really are going in for some heavy negative self talk. I started Dec 1 with my list of 12 goals; one goal was to go workout everyday but I could not do it then on Dec 26 I started my streak and have hit 18 days out of 20. Habits are hard to break but you…

Habits are hard to break but here are my two cents; One I have lost 30 pounds from four years ago and kept them off. Now it is time to hit 175. I have been trying to get up at 6 am since Dec 1st and have not been able to do it. However I have been able to work out 75% of the days four the last 4 weeks. Am I getting…

I believe Eric nailed it with his advise, I read the Gary Taubes' book and found the book to be life changing. I have faith in Mark's Daily Apple web site. Put the effort into learning and you will see the benefits.

I would lose weight too then stall for awhile but just keep doing what you are doing and the weight will continue to come off. I think Mark's Daily apple web site might have some articles on fasting which helps me start my weight loss.

Hey I was going home but decided to answer. I am 51 years old tommarrow, I am finally starting to understand things. I feel the pain about not wanting to fail but dont be afraid. I lost 30 pounds plus a marriage from from 4 years ago. I am trying to change my life and this project took on urgency about a month ago when I…

I think you add up the ingriedients yourself and see what you get. What happened the day after is a big indicator of how many carbs you. Keep trying to stay low carb, everything will fix itself eventually.

Read this book, the 1st book was a life changer for me. then please keep logging in all your food. Book Description Release Date: December 28, 2010 An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes. In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories,…

I saw your diary, I dont think you are doing anything wrong. I at times plateau for a period of time and then the weight boom falls off then I plateau again. Keep at it. Take a look at this then tell me what you think. How To Age Better…

Here are my two cents, I am answering because I saw your post under the low carb heading so I would suggest you go over to Mark's Daily apple web site and read about your conditions and how low carb can help you. My own story is that I cycled for a month and could not lose weight then when I went low cal then primal my…

Beaware of the food that is being placed in front of you then if the food is not to your needs push it away. While you are at conference just maintain your weight loss then when you come back home you focus on losing weight again.

Thank you for the link. This is my favorite web site. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/#axzz1lS6BwogG

Welcome to this new style of eating. It is at times really tough but keep at it.

Here read this article and view the video. I think you might find it helpful. I think if you use less insulin and are losing wieght why change but I am not in your shoes. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17Sugar-t.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all I try to cut back on most sugars, I eat very little fruit and stay away…

How about a protein shake.

I would look up Gary taubes who has web site that will lead you to an answer. I will send you a link to some great information.

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/decadent-coconut-milk-whipped-cream-with-berries-and-dark-chocolate-coconut-mousse/#axzz1jZEwuNsY Spend some time on his site and I think you will be surprised at all the information that is out there. I made this dessert and loved it.

Here are my three cents because you are asking; One I think the hardest thing is that people try to cut sugars and carbs at the same time which I think is too hard because you body is addicted to both. I was able to lose weight by cutting sugars first for a month then I went on to lose more weight when I started…

I use Jay Robb, expesive but worth it with only one gram of carbs per drink.

Pizza kills me. I love that stuff and if I am not careful I eat pizza every day.
