Yes sir

Thanks for the seminar jimmydee1. Great info.

I've lost 100lbs over the last few years following the Suzanne Summers plan. It isn't a no carb diet, but you learn not to combine your carbs with your protein and fats. It is pretty much a sugar free, starch free plan. What is your opinion on this, and what is a better way if you don't agree with her idea?

BTW, I lost the 100lbs the first year, and have pretty much maintained for the last one.

I bought a box of Blue Bell fudge pops about helloween, I've had 1 since. I had a strawberry pop tart without icing last wednesday. Debbie stopped at BYB about 9 last night and got me a double hamburger with everything I like, no fries. I removed the bun half that doesn't have any fixings on it, fold the rest like a toco.

Just stay moving guys and the pounds will shed off like rain water... Problem for me is trying to stay moving with weather like this... Im 5'9" 283lbs.... Im NOT fat... Im Big Boned! lol

Debbie bought a bathroom scale that I really like. It's one of the new glass style ones. I got on it 8 times today and like the reading, 40.4 pounds. A 10 lb. bag of flour doesn't read, 0.0.

Don't leave us hanging! WTH are you talking about?

Hanging?
WTF are you talking about?

BigRiver, I don't hang myself out there to be any sorta expert, but I have done a bunch of self education on this because the docs simply regurgitate back to you what that one class taught them, or what the pharms. have 'sold them on'.I have seen hospital diet specialists completely miss the boat, because of the box they are in, on the ratio of protein to carbs to sugar. One thng they usually leave out is the emphasis on 'moving'...exercise. You don't have to kilol yourself, but a little effort daily won't "kill you". Personally, and with my little bit of research, you'll generally get plenty of carbs and sugar in a balanced..."what ever that means" diet. Processed food has so much of that crap in it to make it taste good that it really gets confusing. Something can say "zero" calories, and be terribly bad for you. Example: Soft drink mfgs say that drinking all the soda you want is ok because it helps hydrate you.....hummmmm!! Wonder what THEIR agenda is?? Here's the deal....when I feel the 'hunger twinge" I make myself grab a banana, orange or apple to take the edge off. Takes awhile to get to that point, but with effort and your good health at risk, it is worth the effort. And before long you develop a taste or craving for those raw veggies and fruit, much like we do for sodas, fried stuff, etc. A little of all that is not necessarily bad for you, but you can't get too much raw fruit and veggies and non-processed meat....I have deer in my freezer year around, as well as beef and pork. But I have really taken to tuna, baked crappie, broiled chicken, etc.

My frustration is when a doc says he doesn't believe in this or that, it's because he probably hasn't done ANY due diligence on it at all. Remember, most of them get paid to treat SYMPTOMS.... re-read that. I love my doc, but we have an understanding after several Come to Jesus meetings. We have a healthy understanding of where we are going, because WE have decided it, not just HIM. Grab "The Calorie Myth".....It will change your life as it relates to good, healthy eating and living longer....or not. Now, darnit...GO FISH!!!!
