When people ask what I eat, I let them know "Nothing with a Face" and lately, I've added "Nothing with Antennas" because things are constantly being added to the table. As far as boxed/processed foods, I've read labels all my life, since I was a kid, to avoid as much animal products as possible. Yes, I'm painfully aware how much they LIE on labels and the FDA just turns a blind eye (on their way to an island vacation). With the right amount of money, you can buy the FDA. Also, besides just the vegetarian issue with processed foods, there's the total lack of beneficial nutrients. Growing up in my family and school, we were taught nutrition our whole lives. I used to Love the movies we watched about nutrition in school where they would make bread in factories with processed bleached white flour, then drop these large "Vitamin" tablets into the dough and mix it up and call it Fortified Wheat Bread. yep it is a sad world we live in these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe that the significance of different human body types (ecto, meso, endo) is overrated and much more important is the amount of calories that you are taking. Caution - only calculating calories is not enough for a healthy body of course. Sorry for the harsh picture, now I think it was not a good idea to post it.

Here is my resolution - i will lose 10kg in 2 months. if anyone wants to join in and do this is a team, welcome. The more the merrier. Good luck Between 2013 and mid 2014 when I became unable to exercise I went from 14 stone (88kg) to 17 stone 4lbs (109?kg) because not only was I still eating what I ate while I was exercising previously (I used to walk/cycle 100+ miles per week) but I was comfort eating because I was depressed at not being able to get out. Mid 2014 one of my specialists looking into why I was suddenly unable to exercise (severe pain and weakness) recommended I lose weight to see if it would help so I went from 17 stone 4lbs (109?kg) down to around 12 stone 6lbs (80kg). Though at this point I had lost muscle too. My specialist was highly shocked that I took her advice so seriously and lost so much weight. Usually people just ignore that advice. She then said I needed to maintain that weight and not lose any more. It turned out my pain and weakness was partly due to my spinal cord being compressed in my neck. As 2015 and 2015 went on I got worse quite quickly to the point I had pins and needles in my hands and feet, was losing fine motor skills (touch typing went out the window) and was dropping things. When I started with neck and shoulder pain and a physio said they wouldn't touch me as one wrong move I could have been paralysed my surgeon decided it was time to operate. The operation stopped the pins and needles in my hands and feet but due to issues with my lower spine I still have a lot of pain in my lower back and legs, especially if I miss my painkillers, so still can't walk far. Also my neck pain has been worse since surgery, feeling like something is trapped when I turn / lean my head to the left, so I am on medication to help with that. Unfortunately late last year my dad passed away and with that and Christmas I have let myself go a bit again (comfort eating and sometimes drinking) and I have gone up to around 14 stone 6lbs (92kg) maybe a little less as I last weighted myself in my big, sturdy boots. Some of the extra weight is due to going to the gym and gaining muscle again - unfortunately strength isn't my problem and doesn't help me walk and further without pain and weakness for days afterwards. Anyway @Cloud I am going to try and be healthier again and get some of the weight off. Previously I lost weight just by watching what I ate and drank, because I was unable to exercise, but this time I ride my EUC (which may help a little?) and visit the gym so may be able to eat a little more and still lose weight. I use an app called My Fitness Pal to monitor my calorie intake and it decides the recommended intake based depending on current weight and the amount of exercise done. The main thing to remember is that losing weight slowly, over time, (around 2lbs or 1.3kg) per week is better and easier to keep off than crash weight loss most people do just before they go on holiday. Depending on how overweight you are the weight will drop off faster, initially, then slow as you get closer to a lower weight. I couldn't get down to my ideal weight previously as I was losing muscle and didn't look healthy. I drink lot's of water and either Green Tea or, my current favourite, Green Chai. Green Tea is supposed to be full of anti-oxidants and help with weight loss (I don't have sugar or milk with it which possibly helps. I make sure I have some cereal for breakfast and soup, fruit and yogurt for lunch then pretty much what I want for dinner watching the calories and portion size. Another thing to remember is not eating/snacking in the evening! Initially I lost a stone or two just by cutting out supper! Sorry if you knew all of this weight loss advice already. This is mostly for my benefit to get me back into the right mindset to lose the weight again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oily Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I've lost 7ibs since 19th June, and am now at 14 stone 5.5ibs (although ironically, I'm now back to the same weight I was in May when I started !). I've actually cut breakfast in the last month (I know a lot don't recommend this, but it works for me), am having a light lunch & a normal meal in the evening with my family. I too am on the green tea , although I can't stand the taste, so end up with a draw at work full of different flavours - although again, no added sugar (do people put milk in green tea ????? ) Onward & downwards !

Cloud Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 I admire your resolve @TremF and @Oily, thank you for the advice. Its encouraging to see others get some results, even if they ocasionally slip back into their weights. What works for me is the Naturally Slim program, as i dont have the will power to do anything else. I described the program in summary earlier in this thread but i am copying my orevious post into this one, for your reference -------------------------------------------------- Ok, i will tell you all more about the Naturally Slim program. Its a series of 10 videos made available over 10 weeks. When i took the program it cost about $450 or so. I actually was given it for free but even if i had to pay it would have been the best spent money in my entire life. The program is not a diet, its a lifestyle change, this is why the effect is more permanent. They teach you the right eating habits characteristic of the peopke they call "true thins". These people are among us and dont even know they are true thins but they possess the good habits naturally and we have lost them over time for various reasons. With this program you can eat almost amything you want and they are not limiting the portion DIrEcTly. Portions will get smaller as a result of the techniques. There is no calorie counting - this is the easiest program in the world! anyway, below are the main principles, but keep in mind this is a 10 hr program and its impossible to cover everything in one post. Besides knowing what to do is only 10% of success, the remaining 90% is the motovation to continue and also being guided by them regularly over a period of time. This is why just reading the below will not make you thin - if you can afford it - buy the program, you will not regret it - you will save a 100 fold in medical bills. If someone has a question about the below i will be happy to clarify 1. It doesnt matter whAt you eat. Its when and how you do it is what makes you fat. Its the bad eating habits. This is why diets dont work - you can lose weight temporarily on a diet and unless you adopt the right eating habits, the weight will come back. The only permanent weight loss is thru changing the bad habits 2. Eat slowly. Chew the food. Feel the taste with all your taste buds. Allow enough time for the signal that you are full to reach and register in the brain. Eat for at least 25 min . You eat for 10 min then you make a 5 minute break and then eat for another 10 minutes. If you eat faster you will overeat 3. Get natural orage juice with no sugar added and mix with water 1 to 7 ( 1 part of juice, 7 parts of water) we will call it H2Orange. Drink at least 7- 8 glasses of it throughout the day. Alternatively can drink water, but )2Orange will work better. One of the reasons is we often feel hungry because we are just thirsty. Eliminate the thirst to differentiate it from hunger. A glass or two of water prior to a meal can also fill you up and you will eat less. Drnking h2 orange will reduce hunger, allowing some sugar in your body so you will be ok between meals. Dont substitute orage with other fruit it has to be orange 4 eat only when you are hungry and stop when comfortable. Only eat at level 3 hunger. This is too much to explain in a post but lets just say that level 2 hunger is when you start thinking about having a meal. Level 3 comes about 1 to 1.5 hrs later. So you eat not when you first start thinking about the food but a little later. Dont wait till level 4 ( when you have to eat no matter what) cant eat at level 4 5. eat one food at a time. Say you have 3 things on your plate - chicken, potatoes, salad. Ad enough of chicke, then, say, potatoes, stop with potatoes when youve had enough of the taste you wanted, then salad. Do not go back to the previous food once you started with next. There is a reasonfor this but too much to describe here 6 eat what you want the most FiRst. Then the next thing you want the most. In the previous example, if you want potatoes out of the 3 things the most - start with that, then your next favorite. Etc. this is important. If you do the opposite and start with what you want the least, you will always eat what you wanted the most at the end and overeat. But if you start with what you want first, by the time you get to what you want least, you will feel you are full and stop eating - this works, its huge 7. Protein shpuld be part of every meal. Our bodies cannot produce it. Also it helps balance the negative effect of sugar 8. No snacking. People who snack say between lunch and dinner get hungry at the same time and eat as much at dinner at those who don't. A meal should last you good 7 hours or so. You should get enough food to be comfortable for a while after a meal 9. You need to rewire your brain and figure out your own cycle when you get real hunger . Its ok if you find you need to eat less times a day. 2 times or even 1 is fine contrary to a popular belief...this one is important but hard to describe in a short post this one is hardest to explain how to do 10. Put down the fork between the bites - will help you eat slower. Use smaller plates for food. Divide food into parts. Say cut sandwich into 4 parts 9 . Smell the food before putting it in your mouth 10 the only thing you cant eat is obvious sugar - sodas, cakes, cookies, etc. wine is a double whammy - alchohol is a sugar and they add sugar to it, so no wine. Also no milk ( in tea or coffee is ok but not milk with cereal) beer is ok but make it part of your meal. The above is just a summary - its impossible to tell the program in one post, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yashaya Yasharahla Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Not sure if it's a big deal or not now that the socket of my unit won't charge. I did keep my end of the bargain and lost some weight: 96.4 kg That was taken yesterday, on 8/6/2016. 108 - 96 = 12kg! And, in January, I was 108kg and I mentioned above.
