Hope all have a great day and I will return.
Hope

Hope Please come and bore me to pieces!

Do I look bored? No I am not bored. Everyone just got better seeing you here!

A struggle Hope? In which way? Not being mean. I honestly want to know. Why do you want to stray.

You know food had such a hard hold on me. At this very minute my stomach is growling. I have not heard that too many times in the past few years. NO kidding here. I really have forgotten what it feels like to feel real hunger.


Hope please stop in more often. You are so welcome here. This is our Cyber/Home. So come home more often, we all want to see you. We do miss each other when one has not been home for a while. And sweetie you bore NO ONE!

I hit a new weight low this AM since starting the program. It really got me pumped for my "Smile, drop and go" sales calls this morning. It's gorgeous outside, and life is good.

Yes it is gorgeous outside and life is good. Tell us, how many did you "terminate"?

And

Marylouise, you certainly don't look bored - you are just lovely and so sweet and such an inspiration to me.. Thank you for the hugs. You don't know how much your little note has helped me. I know what you mean about hunger - I haven't felt hunger very much in my life. Food has always had a hold on me. I really like to cook and sure do like to eat.
The main time I am having a problem is evenings from 4:00 to 6:00. My evening meal sometimes is a 2 hr. feast (if you know what I mean). I do pretty well during the day until that time; I am changing my actions this evening (hopefully) - had a little snack and more water to drink and am fine now. Will do some walking now and keep myself busy. I think it is out of boredom this time of day because my day is winding down.
Your little note of encouragement really did save me from repeating my "feast" this evening. Seems like maybe I have a new start.
I am thankful I haven't gained this week, but I certainly haven't loss anything either. I just need to get here more often and let you girls keep my out of trouble.
Are you bored yet? Just kidding.
Thank you so much and hope all have a wonderful evening,
Hope

[Passion68]

Thank you, MaryL! As of this AM, I've terminated 17.2 (gotta get the .2 in there) pounds!!!!

[MargeGunderson]

Hi Susan

[marylouise]

So we do a randomized-controlled trial. Take as many people as we can afford, randomize them into two groups — one that eats a lot of red meat and bacon, one that eats a lot of vegetables and whole grains and pulses-and very little red meat and bacon — and see what happens. These experiments have effectively been done. They’re the trials that compare Atkins-like diets to other more conventional weight loss diets — AHA Step 1 diets, Mediterranean diets, Zone diets, Ornish diets, etc. These conventional weight loss diets tend to restrict meat consumption to different extents because they restrict fat and/or saturated fat consumption and meat has a lot of fat and saturated fat in it. Ornish’s diet is the extreme example. And when these experiments have been done, the meat-rich, bacon-rich Atkins diet almost invariably comes out ahead, not just in weight loss but also in heart disease and diabetes risk factors. I discuss this in detail in chapter 18 of Why We Get Fat, ”The Nature of a Healthy Diet.” The Stanford A TO Z Study is a good example of these experiments. Over the course of the experiment — two years in this case — the subjects randomized to the Atkins-like meat- and bacon-heavy diet were healthier. That’s what we want to know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He posted that March 14th.
I am getting more interested in his writings. Some of what I read today is making me wonder if all this news going around about the red slime in meat is so ppl will back off of it and start eating the grains cows eat, instead of eating the cows. Sure making me wonder.

I must find his writings and read every word. I am not saying I need more proof to this WOE. I am saying I want to see all the OZIES proved wrong. And the ADA, to me, this blows them out of the water.

[Passion68]

Hi MaryL! I like what you posted above. I'll do more reading on him when I'm feeling in a reading mood.

Belly full of cashew chicken. I heart this "diet".

I told DH I've lost 17.2 pounds as of this AM. He gave me a high-five.

COOL!!!

[MargeGunderson]

Marylouise, I'm volunteering my services for the meat group. Steaks rare to medium rare, please, bacon crisp. Pork ribs cooked over charcoal. I will send you the detailed list of specs as soon as you get ready to go shopping for the food for us.

[Passion68]

Drool!!!

[It'stime]

oh thanks for the enthusiastic hello Marylouise,
I'm on a Dday today. Doing ok. I'm doing Judds lowcarb. My down days are lowfat, lowcarb and about 500.

I liked the look of your diet and may try it after Judds. My Splash diet is just whatever it takes. It's not a diet just a focus. Just diet. Whatever type that will keep you lossing. So if I don't lose all my weight with Judding,,,,I'm going to something else. I haven't failed just changed diets.....

Take Care and keep losing.....130 here we come

Hi - no, I hadn't found that yet, so thanks! I was starting to wonder if maybe my deodorant wasn't working...

Unfortunately, I despise the taste of celery! I know it's far more healthy and probably a lot more much-needed fiber, but I literally have to spit it out if I get ambushed with a chunk. Carefully minced up as part of a sauce base is fine, and my homemade won ton filling I use a bit minced up, but if any tastable chunks get by...

Yup, Granny Smith apple, but I used about 3/4 of it, peeled, and this batch made five servings. If the whole (edible portion) apple is 17.5 grams, that's about 2 carbs per serving for the amount I used.

Water chestnuts add more crunch with about one more carb for what I used, the green onions are 2 x .7 net carbs, so one fifth of that would be one third of a carb. Mayo reads zero carbs as do boneless, skinless chicken breast strips and fresh ground pepper.

Caloriecount.com actually rated the recipe an A-minus in overall health!

Yum, Marge.

Marylouise, I think you are right about the red slime.....scare tactics.

That thought crossed my mind too!

[pcaltman]

Good morning all,

Nothing really new to say. Hanging in there. Lost the .5lbs I gain. I know all water weight. Am trying very hard to get to 152 by next Friday. You would think it would be easy, but not for me.

Menu:
B - coffee, hwc,splenda, 2 eggs, bacon
D - Steak with butter garlic sauce
S - pepperoni

Lots of paint my fence

[hopetolose]

Good morning to all.
Congrats on your loss, pcaltman. Know you will get to 152 soon.
I had a great day yesterday and was down 3.8 on my first day back on track.
3/23 - 144.6
3/24 - 141.8
Hope all have a wonderful day,
Hope

Sounds like a plan to me!

Bacon crisp, no. I leave some wobble in mine! Dr. A. said leave the bacon wobbling.

I am still wondering about them Granny Smith apples...

Well I am sure it is a healthy dish, but the natural sugar in apples can and will stall or slow down weight loss. On A we wait until the carb ladder with the scary animals all around us to start adding things like berries and other fruit. It is just what I have read.

Remember the black pepper.

Jem It makes more since than anything I have heard and read. For me I call it pop~ control!

Have a good weekend at work. I don't know what you do but anything has to be better than sitting at home all weekend, as I most times do! My husband went to help his brother and I am sitting here with our two dogs in the bus feeling kind of down.....Don't get sunshine in here. We do have full spectrum lights in here though. I hope they are helping me to not get to sad in here.

I was hoping to get out tomorrow and fish with my grand son and his new wife, but those plans were put on hold.

My husband wants a carrot cake. WOW I so have something to do now don't I?

[marylouise]

I read Dr. Mercola. Can't post a link he has adds on his web site.
Dr. Mercola is as close to Dr. Atkins as I have had the pleasure to find. Taubes of course, as I am finding out, is another great source too!
Dr. Mercola has been on the OZ show. Him and Mercola disagree on the best WOE for health. Oz is a loves of grain and Mercola is a lover of meat.

I said once Oz can grase{spell check} on grains and I will eat the cow that eat the same grains!
Don't take offense to this please. I am sure Oz has helped tons of ppl lose weight, I recond???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Mercola's words this morning....
The foods eaten by most Westerners today bear little resemblance to the foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate. And our lifestyles are equally non-reflective of our roots. Our bodies evolved to weather the cycles of feast and famine; to accumulate body fat easily in order to make it through times when food was scarce. But the famine never comes now, so all we have is the feast. And feast upon feast upon feast adds up to a LOT of extra body fat.

The documentary points out that 68 percent of U.S. adults are now overweight or obese.

Hunter-gatherers consumed foods with high nutrition and low calories. Today, most Americans are getting the converse—high calories and low nutrition. Many are overfed, yet starving to death. Their bodies are accumulating fat and pollutants from intentional AND unintentional contaminants in our food supply, causing their biological systems to shut down and be vulnerable to a variety of chronic diseases.

Adding to the caloric excess is an exercise deficit.

As a culture, we've gotten away from farms and moved to cities, adopting an indoor lifestyle that expends far fewer calories. Instead of walking, we ride in cars. Instead of running from tigers, we chase cursors around a screen. We have completely lost touch with where our food comes from and what goes into creating it. Our very relationship with food has changed, and not for the better.

pcaltman~ Pepperoni????

For supper? Hummmm Well can you look and see how many carbs are in the Pepperoni?
I don't think you are eating enough. Just my thoughts.

How much HWC do you use?

Where is you cheese with the red wax?

No eggs with that steak??




I remember Dr. A. saying the more we eat the faster we will lose weight. FAT burns FAT
