If you have the opportunity watch on YOU TUBE part on of "The men who made us fat" It addresses this very issue Just to give you an example of the sugar industry tactics and read on you will see who the lobbyists this took place in 2003. An example of strong arm tactics:…

If you are a personal trainer then you would be aware of high benefits of water and fresh fruit smoothies. Why not promote those? Hmmm?

Wales or England what difference does it make. Take note:

You said Less Carbs in my diet, I have doubled the amount of fresh fruit, now even eat bananas and doublied the amount the veggies I eat daily. But with the sugar gone my weight is going down and down. I eat oatmeal for breakfast, whole wheat pasta and breads, Yes there is some sugar in these products, but I have cut all…

Sugar causes so much damage to metabolism , is the culprit in the rise of diabetes 2, especially among the kids. I AM THE ONE IN THE GYM LIFTING THE WEIGHTS, I CHOOSE TO ERROR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND KEEP THE SUGAR OUT. I have removed large portion of the sugar from my diet, I like the taste of sweet and slip up once in…

The day I took sugar out of my diet as well as the processed foods that have so much sugar in them, and starting eating healthy and then walking every day the pounds are slipping away. By the way I won't go near artificial sweetners , just too many complications and health issues but I do eat fresh fruit 3 times daily. I…

I am sorry to hear about your mother. You have brought up an important issue. The link between dementia and sugar,

Given all the research on sugar and Diabetes 2, now becoming a kids disease. I choose to error on the side of caution. My time/hours in the gym has to benefit me. I am not taking any chances.

AS I SAID I RELY ON THE PROS, NOT POSTERS ON THIS BOARD THAT LACKETHE QUALIFICATIONS TO ADDRESS SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE SUCH AS HIGH FRUTCOSE CORN SYRUP AND REFINED WHITE SUGAR AS WELL AS THE IMPACT ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS HAVE ON THE HUMAN BODIES METABOLISM. KEEP IN MIND FRESH FRUIT /SMOOTHIES WITH REAL FRUIT DOES NOT SPIKE…

I would rather take my advice from the professionals., I eat Fresh fruit only and leave the refined sugars, artificial sweetners, and the processed food that contains so much of the refined sugar on the shelf. Sugar is the leading cause of obesity, not fat. and I would keep as much refined sugar out of the diet as well as…

Daisy, you are missing the most important meal of the day. Breakfast. try some rolled oats in the morning. I cook up a big pot of the 15 minute steel cut or rolled oats. Then refrigerate the rest , covered so it doesn`t cake on top. Pop into a bowl and reheat with a dash of added water to moiston in the microwave for a…

Weather you detox or cleanse or continue eating makes little difference. Detox is a myth, supported by people with a simplistic understanding of how the human body works. BBC did a great Doc. on this "The Truth about food part 5 you can watch the control group suffer through a week of detox /cleanse while the control group…

Weight Watcher is a big business built on failure and the repeat business of people returning time and again. It is owned by Heinz, do a wiki on it. For eg. they sold part of their interest in the company to a European Investment Firm for $735 million. More so it is in the business of selling it's food which in my opinion…

Why people put weight back on again http://danceswithfat.wordpress.com/2013/05/03/why-do-dieters-regain-weight/

Last years documentary was the Men Who Made us Fat , three parts , worth watching as it is on you tube This years is the Men who Made us Thin. Parts 1 , 2 are available on you tube It is looking at the weight loss industry. Part 3 is broken down into 5 segments on you tube.

Great Point , the BBC doc "The Men Who Made us Thin" available on you tube, outright stated that the Weight Watchers among others profits are built on failure. 85 percent will put it back on again plus a few pounds more , and a large number of people will return to these programs to lose it again and again. The point made…

Weight Watchers , which is owned partially by Heinz, who sold off a portion of their interest to a European Investment group for $735 Million. Jenny Craig is owned by chocolate giant Nestles, and Slim Fast is owned by another food giant Unilever. The latest news Weight Watchers loses value on wall street to my fitness pal…

The bottom line with any plan is once you are past the 26 week mark to really stick with it. It is after 26 weeks people start to eat what they have lost and put it back on again plus a few pounds more. This happens to about 85 %. The BBC doc. "the men who made us thin" , which part 1 is available on you tube, discusses…

What I have been told that water weight is part of the first months loss and for that reason weight loss is higher in the beginning.

hard to say, your food diary is not open.
