Okay I'm not explaining good.

But for some reason meat doesn't taste good very much right now.

But I am trying to eat either chicken or turkey on salad.

Or trying to have tuna or chicken or egg salad. So I'm working on
it.

I am having like a cheeseburger or something once a week. But that
is really good for me. I love those things.

And I am watching my amount of pizza.

I was doing lots better dieting when I was staying on the carbohydrates diet
better. But its just to hot. I'm not eating enough foods.

I am drinking plenty of water, but need to cut down on diet pop.

And have to locate a alternative, besides milk.

So I'm working on it.

Hi,
Hubby got out the juicer yesterday. Here is my recipe:

- bag of carrots
- 1 apple
- 5 cucumbers
- bunch of kale
- bunch of swiss chard

We had some for two days.
He wants to make it again next week and make a larger amount.


I went to the gym and the sauna tonight. I felt good about that.

I was reading my nutrition news letter and it spoke about how the science of over eating has to do with stimulating the amygdala, the storing of memories of emotions." ...so the reason some foods are so hard for conditioned hypereaters to resist is that the reward circuits of the brain are in overdrive, they are overriding the body's homeostatic mechanisms.....if you expose these people to chocolate and you scan their brains you see elevated activation in a part of the brain called the amygdala...."

the newsletter is called

Nutrition Action center for science in the public interest.
This months cover asks "Why we over eat"

I love the newsletter.

Hi, Majo,

Do you eat lots of fruits and vegetables?

Here's a US government web site calculating how many fruits and veggies to eat:
http://www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov/
(The gov has a lower number than other sites on the internet, so start with that and go higher.)


Something tells me that 1000 calories does not sound enough.

Here is a plan that came out of Weight Watchers that encourages people to eat different amounts each day to keep the metabolism confused
http://www.stormpc.com/ww/wendie_plan.htm
(50 cals is 1 points in this crazy system.)

The idea is that you count your calories by the week, not the day. Each day should from the other days.

Thanks for that Mari !!

Those sites are very interesting.... And you are right... I dont eat enought veggies, nor fruits... That might be a problem...

Thanks !

I think they recomend at least 1200 calories a day.
also small meals thru out the day so less chance of being hungry, more protein to help stabilize your blood sugars.
The meds that you were taking...that is if you were taking them could have caused your weight gain, some meds can do that.

I fell off my diet completly so my motivation is not there....I nedd to get back on that horse, my scrubs were fitting better so I loosened up then fell off completly.

I have been drinking really good(fattening ) beers which doesn't help.

Hoping my story will help you. This is a honestly to good story.

Before I realized I had developed diabetes, this last year. I wanted to lose weight so much. That I joined a health club, ( I go some), I walk also,
I also did physical therapy instead of the club), I drank lots of water,
I always drank diet coke, or something that had no calories, tea or lemonade
with sweetener stuff. I also didn't drink milk, for some reason I was told milk was going to make me fat (ugh hubby) bad advice.

Anyway I was trying to do a 1000 calarie a day diet. I was gaining bad.
And when I learned I had diabetes I had to start eating better. And more.

But the really interesting thing was along with having my gallbladder and other surgery and eating like a pig in the hospital. I seemed to loss weight
by eating a 1500 calorie diet.

So when I started eating the right amount, and then when I took the classes,
and found out I had to drink milk. It turned out I lost even more weight.

Not just 2 or 3 lbs. But I've lost almost 30lbs to 35lbs.

I am not sure even I believe it yet.

I used to envy the people who had the weight loss lines, but now I just wish I could do one.

My new goal is 200. It was my original but I've hit 220. And I'm a little
proud right now.
