GILLIAN RILEY - PLANS AND TIMES for OVER-EATERS.
I recently read a book by Gillian Riley, about overeating. She has a website called eatingless.com on which she gives away lots of free advice for compulsive overeaters, binge-eaters etc. The idea that most interested me was her "Times and Plans", and I have been following this for a few days. Each morning you start a…

Why do people hate keto when it works so well?
I just posted on the motivation threads, asking people to join me in making a pledge to keep to whatever diet plan they are trying to keep to, for 2 weeks, and the ONLY responses I have had so far are people who want to berate me about my chosen diet. Why are people like this? Surely on MFP they should rejoice that someone…

How to make veggies palatable?
I want to increase my veg intake. However, I hate most of them, find the rest boring, and need to disguise them or swamp them in something to make them bearable. So far all I have in my arsenal are: Bisto gravy to smother over them, butter or oil or mayo or salad cream. But I don't want to waste calories on those things.…

366lbs to 266lbs -what is working for me
My current regime, on which I am never hungry, feel great, and am losing 1.5 to 2lb a week. Breakfast - (almost) zero carb and high fat fish or meat. Example: pickled herring with double cream, tin of tuna with mayonnaise, cooked ham, chicken thigh, Polish sausage. Pint of tea - either fruit, lemon or Indian tea with milk.…

Cardio fails to produce fatloss - interesting studies
Got this interesting email from trainer Josh Marion today Cardio fails to produce fatloss RESULTS. Are there health benefits? Sure. But you can get those same health benefits (and more) with much shorter, much more exciting, and invigorating workouts. More on that in a minute... But first, here's what research has to say…

Dry itchy peeling hands
I notice that since starting on keto my hands are constantly red, itchy and peeling. Of course it might not be the change of diet but I haven't changed soap or detergent or moved house or got a pet or anything else like that. The diet is the one thing I changed. I would have thought that eating all this oily fish, fatty…

Anyone use Splenda?
(From Joel Marion) Splenda®, also known as sucralose, is an artificial, chemical sweetener. Despite advertisements stating “Made from Sugar, so it Tastes like Sugar”, which attempt to confuse consumers, Splenda® is not natural and contains no elements of natural sugar. You may also be surprised to learn that Splenda®…

My current regime
I posted this on the "successes" board on 28th August and not ONE person has even commented. I guess <yawn> that this is because most people don't want to hear about keto successes. Being rather disappointed that, after I spent so long writing the posting, it was ignored, I decided to re-post on the keto board.…

my N S V for today
Just a little one, but it means the world to me! Today I am wearing a dress I bought THREE years ago and have never worn, as it was too tight on the upper arms and all the way down, too. It is a close-fitted dress with buttons all the way down the front. Last time I tried it on the buttons were being pulled and there were…

One week experiment... low carb to low fat!
Hi everyone! I'm 54, 5ft 3 and 348 pounds. I've lost 19lb since October by low carbing. I only lost 6lb from October to 5th Jan, but I did not weigh, measure or count anything. Once I starting tracking (on Fatsecret) things changed dramatically. I lost 13lb in just 25 days by obsessively weighing, measuring, logging and…

Super morbidly obese - a diet that works for me

Still overeating despite high fat eating
On previous attempts I found the high fat diet blunted my appetite and I yelled its praises from the rooftops and lost pounds. However, I now find I am overeating meat/fat. I just don't seem to be able to stop myself. I feel ravenously hungry. This morning I cooked up a pound of minced beef with some onion, mushroom and…

Eating fruit for health
As all around me are continually telling me to eat fruit, and as a society in general, and the NHS guidelines etc are constantly pushing the idea that fruit is healthy and indeed essential to health, it was interesting to read this summary by addiction expert Gillian Riley. (The sugar contained in fruit is fructose.)…

anyone keto/paleo/atkins?
I'd like to start a very low carb group to share meal ideas. The USA ideas don't really work most of the time either I've no idea what the ingredients are, or it's impossible to buy them, or the cooking instructions make no sense. So, are there any keto, low carbers in the UK who would join such a group?

Weight loss stalled.
Hi folks I am in despair! Confused and don't know what to do. Age 54, height 5ft 3, weight about 340lb. As I am over 200lb overweight, I thought the weight would just drop off me. But it's been very slow. I was feeling fantastic for the first few weeks because I lost an average of 2.6lb a week from January to mid March.…

Diet Coke.
When I restarted my low carb diet in January I bought 8 cans of caffeine free Diet Coke, a drink I loved very much. That was intended to last me a week, until my next grocery delivery. I felt that I would depend heavily on those cans to see me through my no-sugar diet. For some reason, they are still in my cupboard,…

High fat food and cholesterol
Just received my lipid test results. Mhe previous test was in October 2012. Through most of 2012 I was eating chocolate and wheat, potatoes, fruit etc. Then I started my high fat low carb diet. From January I went on to even higher fat and lower carb. Since October, my overall cholesterol has dropped from 6.6 to 6. My…

Yogurt Berry Crunch cereal (with added fibre)
I received this message from nutrition expert Joel Marion today and thought I'd share it: "Cereal is, by and large, one of the worst foods for your waistline, and your health. There are of course a few rare exceptions (like some of the cereals in the Ezekiel 4:9® line from the good folks at Food for Life®) but when it…

Please forgive me :-)
After three fabulous sugar-free months today I cracked and ate chocolate - a LOT of chocolate. I'm really sorry I did it. Because it hasn't made me feel ANY better, happier, or any other positive feeling. There was a reason. Things have just been getting on top of me for the past few days. I have been suffering for a whole…

Any low-carbers weigh 300+?
I've just added about ten new friends all of whom weigh over 300 and I have been perusing their food diaries. To my surprise, none are following any kind of keto diet. Their carbs are up in the hundreds and they are eating bread, rice, etc. Is there something that I don't know about? Like, is keto not OK for folks like me?…
