  • Ideal weight loss is about 1 - 2 pounds a week. I have been at for three months there has been one week where I have gained a pound others where I have lost. For about a two week period I lost .5 and .8 of a pound. However at the end of three months my weight is down over 12 pounds . For me it is steady weight loss in…
  • You need fibre, fibre cleans and energizes the system, keeps the engine working Fruits, grains and vegetables in the right amount aid weight loss.
  • I think it is a motivator to keep people on track, It is showing what is possible , However it is not accurate.

  • Alan Marlatt did a number of studies on Harm Reduction in people with alcohol addiction. http://www.thecleanslate.org/alcoholics-anonymous-increases-binge-drinking-brandsma-study He found that people who bought into the disease theory of alcoholism of total abstinence {that is one drink will lead to an all out binge] did…
  • Sugar needs to be defined. Sugar to me is refined white sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup {with it many names depending on which country you are from} It is not to eliminate sugar from the diet , sugar is energy but it is to go to a healthy source of sugar. It does not mean that you eat bags of applles orange…
  • There no real fibre in this product. You want to keep your engine running and the flow going then you need healthy foods not a supplement that reads like baby formula. There are 40 ingredients in it , the first is sugar!!! Slimfast is featured in the BBC doc below. The founder blames the person not product for its failure…

  • I changed my diet 3 months ago, using another plan, I could eat three meals using healthy foods and be full one day and repeat the menu the next day and feel hungry all the time. This went on for about 7 weeks until it tapered off and stabilized and I could eat smaller portion sizes. My guess is I had been eating way too…
  • Rolled Oats or Steel Cut Oats . I use both / I prefer 15-20 Minute Cooking Variety. I cook a Big Pot, enough for at least 4 servings. About 1.5 cup of uncooked oats to 3 cups water. If it looks a little dried out after cooking for 15 minutes I just add more water to make smooth consistency. You can do this the night…
  • How about getting sugar the natural way through fresh fruits . substitute honey, {a little honey} the body can process it easier.
  • I do have a question. I watched a program on BBC that addressed this issue. It appears that for a large number of people they lose weight in the first few months but the researcher stated something kicks in that causes them to eat it all back on again.. This pattern has been observed in studies on groups like weight…
  • The point being made is exercise in itself , alone is not the answer to losing weight. It doesn't say do not exercise. It is very important to be active and get the cardio up. But if one relied only on exercise to lose vast quantities of weight one's energy would be very depleted because of the number of hours and the…
  • BBC Documentary "the men who made us thing" a hard look at the diet industry is now on You Tube for watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5Bxgnc4964
  • Breakfast is important. I cook the 15 /20 minute rolled oatmeal or the steel cut oatmeal {I change up for variety} twice a week. You can even do this the night before . I cook enough for 3-4days. You could do more. Once cooked I immediately wrap the remainder up in Tupperware or cover a bowl with plastic wrap so it doesn't…
  • I agree , exercise alone is not enough to lose weight, I joined a spin class last year and noticed that many of my fellow spinners were regulars and had been spinning over a year and still were carry pounds, I notice after 3 months it had very little impact on my weight and at the same time I was doing an hour a day of…
  • Here is the Guardian News Review on the Show How the Food Industry cashed in on Obesity.. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/aug/07/fat-profits-food-industry-obesity It was on interest to me that Weight Watchers has been taken to task in the UK , that only 15% of those who lose weight keep it off after two years…
  • That is a terrific amount of weight in a short period of time Weight can move up and down by 2 pounds daily, It suggests water retention to me. Water retention can cause one to bloat and it could be tied into a monthly cycle,
  • I shop for one all the time. The key is planning. I think of what I am going to eat the next day and buy it the day before, II shop at the butchers where I can buy smaller portions of meat and fish. I buy my fruit and veggies in small portions so I can use them up in 3 days and replace them with fresh produce. I have…
  • I was told if you wait 20 minutes and you still feel hungry then it is real hunger.

  • it concerns the tactics and marketing of food products some of them downright devious to get us to buy their crap. It makes one realize one has to vigilant , read the packages research the food. An example in part 3 is Cadburys.
  • There is no question about it we do need some sugar. The evolutionary process hardwired us to consumer fats and sugar, Back in the good old days when our ancestors climbed out of the trees and became hunter gathers sugars and fat came in the form of fruits which were seasonal and fats in the form of meats . The sugars were…
  • Sugar and certain fats are evil. They are the major source of obesity in U.S. and England. France and Denmark are the first to impose an extra tax on unhealthy foods with high sugar, If you have a chance go to You Tube and watch Supersize me. Watch what happened to a healthy young guy who dined soley on McDonalds food. The…
  • I cooked rolled oats the 15 to 20 minute variety, sometimes rolled sometimes steel cut oats for the variety I do this twice a week. I cook 11/2 cups rolled oats to 3 cups of water. I take out one portion of 3/4 of cup add unsweetened almond milk and a tsp, honey. The rest I wrap immediatlely so it doesn't get hard on top…
  • Hi , I just watched a documentary on weight loss, the documentary addressed the issue that intense exercise does not correlate with extreme weight loss.
