Topic: RE: Weigh****chers

Hi Melody.  It is tough to try and lose weight when you have to cook for someone else.  Would your boyfriend be willing to fend for himself for a little bit?  I am extremely lucky because my NUT told me I didn't need to lose any weight before surgery but I am setting a goal for myself to lose ten pounds.  What works for some might not work for others, but what seems to be working for me is to cut out all "white" foods, i.e., bread, sugar, flour, rice, potatoes and so on.  I realize this is a typical low carb lifestyle diet but it is easier than weighing and measuring all my food.  I have never been good at counting calories and really have to much to think about now to begin to start doing it.  It also helps to cook all your own meals so that you can control sugar and salt content.  I typically try to do most of my protein cooking on the weekend so that all I have to do during the week is add some veggies and have a meal on the table within 15 minutes.  Boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs can be baked in large quantities and then used in countless recipes that even your boyfriend could eat.  The same is true for lean ground beef or turkey.  Check out recipes on the internet for inspiration.  One day on the weekend (or even a couple of hours) could really make a difference for you.  I sincerely wish you luck.

Glad to hear about your weight loss and it's really inspiring the way you try to manage the weight. Juicing is a good option and there are a lot of good juicing recipes to try. After my weight loss treatment at Pinewood Natural Health Center in Toronto, my dietician had advised me to try juicing recipes that will help regulate and maintain our weight eliminating the excess of calories. I have found some good juicing recipes at https://juicerecipes.com/ . Keep the good work going!

Juices, even vegetable juices, are liquid calories that won't keep you satisfied as long as eating whole food.  Just eat those vegetables.  :)

Thanks for your post.  I'm interesting in juicing, partly because I am trying to follow a plant based whole foods diet and I want to get as many nutrients in as possible.  I've been making a green juice that is satisfying, and has about 150 calories - it includes a cucumber, a stalk of celery, about one inch of fresh ginger root, 1 peeled lemon, and 1 small apple.  I'm almost 6 years post op and have put back about 20 lbs - I'm convinced that I can take the weight off with proper nutrition and exercise.  Wish me luck!

Just approach a professional physician for the better help. There are many factors that promote weight gain in women and men. You need to choose right foods and also make few changes in lifestyle. It is never hard to get slim body, but need some patience and dedication.

Like I said, it is obviously working for you... just be careful not to eat too much at one time...

Topic: RE: Daily Calories ??

I'm down another 5 pounds since I left the message. The last time I met with a dietitian I was told to stay at around 600 cal a day. With the rate I am burning cal thats not possible. If I burn 900 and only take in 600 I'm going to starve myself. I'm not eating 1800 every day. That's just the most I've seen. Yesterday I ate 1361 and burned 1137. I go see my dr next month. Hopefully I can get this straight. I have a BMI of 29 so I have nothing to complain about. My normal weight is right around the corner!
