New Diet

  Congrats!   Best of luck in your endeavor.

Great job, but be careful:

As a biologist, 1 pound loss a seven day week is ideal, more then that for an extended period (more then two seven day weeks or 14 days) is bad for organs.

(I'll find the links to the articles in the journals if you have your own passwords to view them, they are subscription only and it will take me a couple hours to find them as the internal searches are horrible.)

Looking at it it looks very much like an alternate to the "South Beach diet" but is clinic prescribed?

Here is an un-peer-reviewed article that you must take with a grain of salt (or salt substitute. )

Let us know all about in my DH and I are having trouble with an exercise routine at the moment, do they have a routine for you too?

congratz!! i hope you can get to your ideal weight! im also trying to loose weight with a new drug im on i went from 115 up to 150 within 2 months
and still gaining even though im walking 2 to 4 hours a day and eating an all natural healhty diet very discouraging

Good luck!

I've been trying to add more protein to my diet and I've been eating a lot of salads with chicken or beans on top. I've also been going to the gym and doing at least 30 minutes of active cardio (on one of those standing bikes or the treadmill). I'm trying to work up to doing a whole hour, but I just started this week so it will probably take a little while! I'm really hoping I can stick with it this time because I would love to lose 100 pounds as well, but it is very difficult especially being a juvenile diabetic and having to take insulin all the time. Insulin does not help weight loss at ALL!

Congrats on the weight loss! I have to get myself back on track now that the kids are back in school.

Last summer I start walking every afternoon for about 12 mintues, then I got up to 60 minutes everyday; the result was great! I naturaly drink lots of water everyday, but it's very inportant when you are walking etc to drink water before you start walking, and lots of water after. I also try not to eat anything after 6:00 PM, that way you body has time to break down your food and when you go to bed you body can heal things etc instead of trying to digest your food. Instead of going to bed with a full stomach you go to bed with an empty stomach and you sleep much better...trust me on this. In the mornings I take a little bit of ACV, then I go do my feeding and then I eat a bowl of yogurt. That is my breakfast. Some mornings I will have organic raisin toast, but mostly yogurt. I also try and eat some granola at least once a day. I try not to eat any snacks in between meals, but if I do I try and have popcorn, or something high in protien..instead of eating cookies, chips, etc.

For lunch I try and eat just a little bit of water ever we're having. Sometimes if we're having something very fatty and "unhealthy" I will scrambled some eggs or something very healthy. I also try and eat some fruit every day. When I would gag if I smelled, or even smelled fruit and I would throw up. I just couldn't handle it..due to my not liking fruit that has caused some major problems for me. Now that I'm older I can stand the smell of fruit better and I can eat grapes, apples, raisins, cran berries, cherries, and a few other fruits. I still have trouble stomaching fruits such as strawberrys, blue berries and other fruits.

Anway, just wanted to share my story with you. I'm rooting for ya girly!!
