Yes, you can lose weight eating whole wheat. Please - - every person who gets on this anti-wheat kick gets their information from the same source-Dr. William Davis and his Wheat Belly book. With all due respect to the doc, I DON"T BUY IT! My FA sponsor and many others in my program have lost 100 or more pounds eating…

I only know 2 people with a BMI in the "healthy" range. They both look like emaciated corpses with one foot in the grave. Hope that helps.

I recently had an "epiphany". I stopped listening to what and when everyone else was telling me to eat and started listening to my body. In the morning I enjoy a small 2 oz. piece of Swiss cheese and a big mug of coffee with half and half or cream. As long as I don't eat fruit or other carbs with it, I'm good to well into…

Most health care experts are a like a broken record with the "calories-in, calories-out" doctrine, so no matter how frustrated I was with my weight loss (or lack thereof), I was told that I wasn't accurately assessing my calories consumed and/or burned. OK, so I admit I found a few weak spots in my diet. #1 Having been on…

Let your own body tell you what its comfort level is. I f you listen to all the "experts" out there you will make your self crazy. For every guideline, theory, and suggestion they propose, another school of thought comes along comes along and totally contradicts everything the first group said. I don't care what anybody…

Well I'm 63, and my hatred of cardio hasn't gone away yet. I'll get back to you if it does. I watch "Shark Tank" every week praying that someone will invent a jogging machine that I can take a nap on while it's doing the cardio for me.

When I feel a binge coming on I need the "POWER" to resist it. POWER is an acronym for 5 different tools I personally use to divert my attention away from compulsive eating. P- is for Prayer I ask my Higher Power to help take away the temptation to eat right now. O- is for Outreach I call a friend, a sponsoror, a family…

dfootballJRC - - -YOU are my hero! You explained so perfectly how and why fat loss occurs in correlation to what I expect on the scale. You have given me hope that my eating and exercise plan is not in vain -no matter what that horrid contraption on my bathroom floor dictates. You rule, dude! -AidaLott ( 63 year old…

I certainly relate to "gworksharder" and "kolmschenk77". Whenever I tell a health care professional (doctor-dietitian-personal trianer) that I am watching everything I eat, counting calories, avoiding all refined carbs, weighing and measuring everything, writing everything down, walking every single day, and working out 3…

I figure anything beats sitting on my *kitten* all day long wondering what snack or meal I can eat next. So I take a walk or 2 each day and do some strength training at the gym 3 days a week. Alright, so I'm never going to look like a runway model. For that matter, I'll never be 20 years old again, either. So I just do…

At 60, I do not enjoy any cardio exercise except my daily 2-3 mile walks outdoors. This used to be enough in conjunction with a healthy eating plan to help me lose weight or keep my weight down. But a few years ago when no amount of walking and dieting was helping anymore, I found out I had hypothyroidism. It took over 2…

No, sweetheart! Fruit is nature's candy and a blessing for your health and well being. The mere notion that fruit hinders weight loss was probably put in your head by the low carb wingnuts out there who vilify eating fruit because it keeps their precious bodies out of ketosis--- a bizarre notion being that you will melt…

Dimplez--Aida hears you, honey. I've only been trying to lose weight for 63 years, but I do understand. It's not the calories I'm tracking that sabotage me. It's the calories I'm not tracking. I may have been a dog in one of my previous lives because I live to eat and will eat every scrap of food I can get my paws on (I…
