THE DIET THREAD

-wiggles nose- See and I thought he was going to pick on my post

But I like Soda, I like Iced tea even more. It's my Coffee. And it has some pleasent side effects as well.

 

well, I basically stick to water, decaf coffee and tea and my nice Atkins shakes. I'll have an occasional diet Sprite. Lost 62!

 

@ Dr. Bob

 

I'm starting week 7 of my new lifestyle
diet. I'm 15 pounds down from my max,
25 more to go. 15 pounds in 6 weeks,
that is 2½-pounds a week. Why do
i weigh every day? only a couple of
times a week have i lost a pound.
Oh well, i've got to be careful not
to GAIN those pounds. And i've got to
be careful NOT to go back to eating
sinful stuff like BREAD, RICE, POTATOES,
and anthing that tastes good cause
it has SUGAR in it

My doctor's office advises i watch my
cholesterol input. They forget i can
eat no cholesterol at all, that my
liver makes it (i seem to have an
extra effecient cholesterol making liver).
So on the low carb diet my body is
breaking up fat moloceules to make
energy (to replace the lack
of carbs) AND to make cholesterol.

Did you know cholesterol is your bodies
energy back-up system? When you run out
of the from sugars from your system,
you "get a second wind" cause your body
starts burning cholesterol. Unfortunately,
we have burdened ourselvs with so much
evil carbs that we have to run two miles
or four before we start burning cholesterol.
Sorry, i get winded climing a set of stairs.
My idea of exercise is to mosey about 1/8 a mile
around the block.

 

LOL, Ed! The only exercise I get is reading the diet threads and that's usually while I munch on something. I'm horrid!

Honestly tho, I have tried to stop my snacking. That's what edges my weight back up. Used to be, if I were worried or nervous, I couldn't eat. Now I eat when I'm anxious~ Ought to do something physical instead!
