Eat Fat Get Thin Facts & Info - Page 3

I am wondering if even if I did over do the cream it was the slackness on carbs (sugary ones) that was actually the problem.

I think I have misunderstood the significance of fat and the amount we are supposed to eat.

I need to re-read the book.

This is an excellent and informative discussion.

Do any of you drink wine while on this plan? I'm maintaining on Atkin's and enjoy drinking wine with dinner.

Yes, Pam, I have a few drinks a week and have been maintaining for a very long time. If I wanted to lose more I know I'd have to cut back or cut out those drinks for awhile. That's just me, YMMV. Do you want to lose or maintain? Have you seen our monthly thread, June Bug Challenge? You're welcome to join in with us. We love new peeps.

Thanks for the invitation, Sandy. I have not seen your monthly thread. I'll check it out, though. I frequent the "LC Recipe Help & Suggestions", on this site, almost daily. I've been curious about this forum since Carolyn(F) uses EFGT for her weight control. I love her recipes!

I'm like you, if I wanted to lose more, I'd have to give it up or cut back...but I'm satisfied with my current weight.

If I wanted to switch to the EFGT plan, how do I "count" the wine? The wines I drink are dry, so the carb content is fairly low.

Also, what would be the best book to buy?

Barry Grove's Natural Health & Weight Loss is what most people consider the best one. I just put whatever I'm drinking into fitday and let it do the figuring for me. When I'm actually "counting" that is.

Carolyn is our leader. After Barry that is, lol.

Here's where to find us:

Has anyone tried mixing 1 part pure, unsweetened cranberry juice to 4 parts water? Or squeezing lemon into water? I use these to detox after a few glasses too many the night before... I would say, the placebo effect works nicely.

There is a "Eat fat grow thin" article at: David Mendosa: A Writer About Diabetes
it's a good read.

I also stumbled upon an article " Two brave men " about 2 men living for
a year or 2 ( I forget which) in a hospital setting on a 100% meat diet. It
too pointed up the need to keep the fat consumption up!
