Sorry to be blunt, but no, no ,no! I am a moderation gal.

Oh yes. I think that the body calls for what it needs. I will only crave what my body is lacking. That is why I don't follow a strick diet. The other day I was craving chocolate and ate a tiny piece. Today a bunch is sitting in the fridge that I have no desire to touch. Ya know why, because I am...

Me,me,me!!! I had so much stomach troubles that I went to the doc eating healthy. I was diagnosed with acid reflux. I had an upper gi(knocked out) I still deal with a lot of gas and have to watch what I eat. I would check with your doc if you are feeling unsetled. Oh and yes after a week after...

Thank you so much for your reply. This did clear it up!

This is not a goofy question! I have always wondered this myself because I am a pop-corn addict!

RE: Thanks DebbieH & Colleen Thanks for the site! Great info.

Hi I was just re reading the old thread that you made. I have a question about what you said about the protein,carb, and fat thing. Could you explain something about the 20-40% of protein cals being used verses the fat and carbs.I am not sure if I understand what you said. Are you saying that...

Whats wrong with potaotes and rice??? They are loaded with vitamins! Cynthia, congrats on your weight loss. But how fast did you lose 11 pounds?

Thanks maribeth. That cleared a lot of confussion up for me! Keep posting with all this great info! Keta I love sweet potatoes. They are great. I also eat whole grain breads.I love most veggies too. You asked about the tomatoes? That is funny because I think I eat those everyday. I make a...

Okay this is what I love to eat. Tell me what is wrong here. Beans,rice, couscous, hummus, veggies of most kinds,potatos, boca burgers, brown rice,salad,not so much fruit but some,bread,lentils,maybe tuna and turkey bacon sometimes. Okay how do I rate???

RE: How does this make you feel Sorry for sounding dumb, but what is gout?

RE: How does this make you feel Oops one more thing. What about people that deal with low-blood sugar such as me? I did the vegan thing for awhile. I lost weight, but my blood sugar levels were out of wack I think because I had a lot of anxiety attacks. But that could be just a coincidence...

RE: How does this make you feel Thanks Keta, you are so right!! But also you never answered. What happened to your father's health when he low-carbed?

How does this make you feel I am a firm believer in calories. But how does it feel when you read all this stuff about low-carb people losing weight so easy. I mean does that spark your interest at all? I will admit sometimes it does. Sometimes I am a little wishy washy because of information...

Hey Keta What kind of work do you do? Also what exactly happened to your dad? I was watching this show cribs. This girl was showing us her pantry in her kitchen. She was very thin. It was filled with pasta! She said she cooks pasta at least once a week. And I thought "oh but pasta would make...

Keta, I know how you feel. It seems that low-carb has taken off so much on all these boards.I mean who can really eat like that the rest of their lives anyway? I use to eat fiber one cereal every morning for breakfast for about a year straight. I was skinny! Now I think I am so burnt out on it...

I just got that tape a couple weeks ago. I have done it twice. OMG, it is a true killer for me!!! Burn baby burn. I think I will put it on the back of my shelf for awhile.lol

Thanks Maribeth for the great info. Please keep it coming. I read the other thread and it just confirms what I thought. I mean look at the Asian countries who eat a ton of carbs, rice,noddles,etc. They are thin, so I am sure that they don't over eat. I bet low-carb diets are not too popular...

I tend to eat mostly vegetarian. I am not a big meat eater. Calories count and there is no magic diet like Maribeth is saying. I got very lean just by counting calories and working out. I did not follow any diet at all. I ate whatever I wanted just as long as I stayed in my calorie range. Now...
