Since I don't have the patience for calorie counting and all that, I just do Fast-5/Appetite Correction. It seems to work pretty well and my blood pressure is much lower since starting out. It also allows me to eat my cake and lose weight... There are many who disagree with this method, but it works well for me.
Lose weight??? This is a CAKE site! What is the Fast-5/Appetite Correction, WYBee? Gotta Google it!
Check it out, Lynne. There was another post saying the same thing, posted at the same time, under a different name. Go figure??????????
i am off white sugar permanently -- for me it is toxic to my bones literally -- i still use it to bake for others -- and i enjoy the challenge of making a great product without sugar -- because i have had a metabolism problem forever --
now then -- i got a hair analysis done to let me know which minerals and all that stuff i'm low on and if i have too much metal in me and stuff like that because the prescription meds are literally killing me so i have to try something else -- (this all leads back to weight loss) sp i am taking a natural kind of hormone -- it is fixing my metabolism to the extent that the large goiter i had on my poor little neck is now over 50% smaller -- yay!! and because of the no sugar i am literally dropping weight naturally -- not even trying -- in fact i've lost over 15 pounds all total -- five of them in the last 10 days kid you not -- it's dang hot here too --
i'm also swimming 3-4 times a week -- i'm still on three prescriptions but that's a huge improvement -- it is so cool to watch the weight drop off -- but like erma bombeck said, “In two decades I've lost a total of 789 pounds. I should be hanging from a charm bracelet." I've done a lot of that.too -- way too much --
i am 8 pounds away from my correct bmi .> insert big fat grin smilie face< i'm wearing the cool clothes i got when i was teaching -- life is sweet --
you just have to figure out what works for you -- everybody is different -- best to you daver44
The only thing that works for me is starving to death, like 500 calories a day. When I was in my 30's, I ran 8 - 6-1/2 minute miles every morning and didn't loose an ounce without starving. I mean, really and truly being hungry all the time. As for the Fast - 5 / Appetite Correct, I've been eating like that since I was 18 years old and left home. Of course, I haven't always eaten just healthy foods because I love sweets. According to the doctors, I am not over weight for my age, but I hate, hate, hate it and my freakin' clothes don't fit. Mike and I walk about 20 miles a week and swim almost every day in the summer. Oh well, I am fat but healthy.
my waist is too big to be healthy -- dr phil says how your waist needs to be under a certain measurement and while i can't remember what number he said 39 is not it -- hahahaha -- I mean i'm a size 14 but i'm quite content/happy -- I just want to stay here -- could lose a little more no problem but not more up and down please god
Sandra - fast-5/appetite correction is just consuming all calories within a 5 hour window each day. For example, I eat between 3 and 8 each afternoon. I eat what I want in that time frame and am losing weight steadily. The first few days were tough but it's pretty easy now. And I can taste anything I decide to experiment with baking.
WYBee, I have been eating one meal a day ever since I left home at age 18. It just seems to suit me, but I sure don't loose weight. Maybe I just eat too much all the time.
losing weight is not necessarily about quantity -- it's about your hormones, thyroid and adrenals your pancreas, internal organs -- and the kind of food you eat -- you can totally eat More than normal and drop weight like crazy if it's the right Kind of food -- for example a mediterrenean type diet --
