Diet Conclusions
It's not the going over or under your calorie limits on a 50/50 basis when
eating sensibly. It's the once a week trip to McDonalds or Burger King that really kills you. Any agree? |

I eat at McDonald only a few times a year. This did not prevent me from reaching the 300lbs mark... Actually, the time I lost weight without even paying attention, I was eating at McDonald three times a week. It's only a matter of how much you eat, not what you eat. |

Any agree? No, it's failing to step up your exercise program to cope with the McDonald's trip that kills you. |

Any agree? Not really. I ate at Wendy's yesterday. I'm a pound lighter than my last weighing, about 3 days ago. Not because I ate there, but because I'm not eating too much in general. Incidentally, I keep a count of my calories throughout the day. I ate there not knowing the exact calories. I got a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and 5 piece chicken nuggets (and diet drink). I made a rough guess that they totalled 600 calories with about half the calories from fat. When I got home, I looked it up on Wendy's website and found that they totalled exactly 600 calories with exactly 300 from fat. Good guess, huh? William 210/204/160 |

If one counts the calories and macronutrients (carbs, fat, protein), it doesn't matter where the food comes from *unless* going to such places causes one to binge; is that what you meant? I enjoy my lattes and did through weight loss and into maintenance. In fact, I get a latte every Wednesday after spin class VBG. Fortunately for me, skim latte works fine -- and actually did even before my current WOE -- but I understand what you are saying. Oh, and like Dally, I enjoy the occasional ice cream/frozen yogurt as well (for shame!), but I do measure it out. -- jmk in NC |

Lictor, I'm wondering how much you lost plus the time that it tool ETC. You are an interesting poster here and I'm trying to get this weight-thing right but I'm unable to get much exercise. Well, I started at 291lbs (132kg) around february of this year. I'm now at 240lbs (108kg), which feels certainly way better. I was also diagnosed with diabete, but so far, weight loss and exercise seems to take care of the disease (last A1c at 5.8%). I'm currently going through a stall, which is pretty fine with me, I did lose quite quickly at first, and maintaining for a while can't hurt. Anyway, my nutritionist seems to think it's a good thing. I have no set target, though it would sure be nice to be somewhere in the 176-198 range (80-90kg), for 1m82 (5'12, big bones). As for my diet, it's just a matter of trying to follow my hunger and satiety, and going for the food I feel like eating. It seems to go through cycles, where I really crave for some kind of food, and then settle down to low amount of it. That's pretty weird, but I guess it's a way to explore what I really like. I'm just off from my cashew nuts craving, now I only stand them in low amounts... I started craving on fruits again too, which had not been the case for quite a while... I'm also going for the psychologic approach. I have done quite a lot of personnal thinking on the matter, and I'm going to start a therapy pretty soon (mixed kind, but probably mainly cognitive). I'm also investigating into meditation to deal with the stress level. As for exercise, it has been mainly brisk walking (very brisk, my heartrate is usually in the 130-140 range), 3-6 times a week, for 5-8km (4-5 miles). I have tried some weight lifting, but I'm not very regular there, walking still feels better to me (and builds some leg muscles anyway). I have started adding some running bursts into my walking too. I'm considering roller-skating pretty seriously too, since it's a great way to move around Paris (pretty flat city, with decent quality streets). The key for exercising is to find something that is motivating enough that it becomes part of yourself. Walking does the trick for me, because it's a nice way to move around, and I have actually rediscovered my city in the process. I also miss it when I can't walk for a couple of days, it has really worked wonder for overall mental health. |

Lictor, Thanks for the good post ! Of course I REALLY agree with your
part on WHAT TO EAT, as I think the body 'tells' what it needs ! You have done very well on the great loss and good progress OVER ALL as you are doing what is so good for you plus you plan to try skating. I was doing all of the great sports but than I got MS. So remember that we all need to 'make hay while the sun shines' . I was loving much exercise like bike riding and walkig plus step arobics .. glo |
