Both Ornish and McDougall style are awesome!!!! For me if I eat that way just 80-90% of the time the weight just comes off. I'm never hungry, I get plenty of protein from beans, and it can be really cheap. Since I'm a poor student, that is important. I run and lift weights and still have...

I LOVE LOW-FAT, VEGETARIAN EATING! It rocks....for me. I've no doubt that all us unique bodies prefer different ways of eating. That said...I switched to eating this way more (ala McDougall or Ornish) just 90% of the time and I lost 6 lbs. in one month. Now, I only had like 18 lbs. to lose...

Hi Kath, I partially agree. I think most people when told they can eat whatever they want tune into their indulgent side. I know I did! Bring on those m&m's! But, after doing that for a bit I realized that was NOT what I wanted. I wanted to feel good. I bite or two of something sweet is...

Hey Gang, so good to hear from ya'll...and such wonderful suggestions! Hollycat - I'm interested in that cookbook. The reviews on amazon are very good. What are some of you favorite recipes from there? francosmom and prfitness - It's so interesting how you both mention getting back to...

Nautoj, I'm neither under 30 nor over 30...I'm 30 :) Interesting in the comparison between your sis's difference between a fat scale and the equation. Fat scales are so quirky and expensive so the equations sounds like a great solution. I'm interested in how it works. Thanks!

Hi Yas B, I'd love to see that formula! Thanks, J.

Hey Jillybean - Thank you and I hear ya. Hating your job could be key. My pet theory - I think not being able to eat intuitively comes from unhappiness. Getting happy by either changing your life or your attitude can have a huge impact on how you live and vice versa. I wonder if we should be...

Jillybean, Ah, Jilly, please don't. You know how bad it is for you and you know it's a symptom of something bigger. I had a student come in a while back that was paying all the big prices from things she'd done related to eating disorder. She was so young and she loved to run but she can't...

Hi Kath, Carmelle, and the rest of the gang, Thanks for starting the checkin..I've been drifting away..here's why - This has been a very interesting experiment for me. To recap, about three years ago I lost all excess weight by eliminating dairy, sugars, and red meat almost totally from my...

After reading ya'lls quirks I was struck with a half-baked thought...knowing your quirks and having them is very cool and shows a well developed sense of self. I'm blithely unaware of my quirks and will be getting back to you on this one. I feel privileged to be sharing net space with you...

prfitness - Hang in there! When pms strikes I also can't stand to eat anything besides starchy things or ice cream. Here's an unsolicited suggestion :) how about a trip to a museum or browsing through some art books at the bookstore. I think you're grand, J

Hi Lori, A wedding? That sounds fun. About the calorie thing I'd really have to say that watching calories is unnecessary and contributes to the diet mentality that the IE book urges you to just run away from as fast as you can. Sounds like you're a great runner..go for it!!! :) Ironically...

Hey Ladies, Seems like last week was a doozey for most of us though it got better as the week went along. My heart sincerely goes out to you all for the grief the food thing is giving or has given you. We'll work this out. Me, surprisingly I'm feeling 1000 times better. I hate PMS, but I...

I sympathize with your situation, especially since I've been eating what I want and my weight/size has gone up. I used to be bigger than I am and really don't want to return to it. I know that the cure is to be happy, but my worklife is in flux and a wee bit demoralizing right now. For better...

Hi Gang, This week I intuitively know that I need to eat better! :) ...and I feel ready to do it. This week I'll be embracing the IE phrase of if you really enjoy it then go for it, if you don't then don't eat it. It's pms time and I'm very bloated, worse than usual. I think eating more salt...

I just was talking to a runner the other day that has a herneated disc in her spine and totally thrashed knees from running. She loves to run, I loved running, but boy is it hard on the knees. The list of prescriptions I've heard are: 1. run less 2. stretch illiotibial band 3. stretch...

Hi Everyone! I'm a day late on the check-in so I'll just have to be extra intuitive today to make up for it. ;) Right now is a tricky stage of the IE because it's the point of integrating some healthy choices though never depriving myself. One thing I did which has helped alot and was...

RE: IE Thank you, thank you, thank you! prfitness, that was just what I needed to hear. You're right. I'll chill and keep up with nurishing myself and balance. Thank you!

Hi MadNatsMom, I'm confused. What is your workout schedule? J.
