What is your daily calorie intake and what do you eat to keep your taste
buds interested when you've cut back on food or calories?
I eat All Bran with skim milk in the AM and at least two apples a day. I
drink four or five glasses of water a day, some decaf tea and two
Metamucil
cocktails. I also take several B-Complex vitamins. I ran into some 90
calorie "garden burgers" and 230 frozen dinners. I hardly ever use salt.
Sometime I have half a sub from Subway. A dietician said that is OK.
I stopped chocolate and ice cream months ago. Fat free pudding and fruit
are my dessert, if I have any.
Do you eat soy burgers or other soy products? I can make them taste
good,
if I add a little low-cal salsa or other spicy stuff.
Ideas welcome. Thanks
I would advise you to learn to cook. And stop polluting your body with
industrial food and stuff made in a laboratory. Are your B-Complex
vitamins made from coal? If you visited the place where they produce
and saw the making from A to Z, I'm sure you would say "no thank you!"
if offered to try the pill. Extremely disturbing.

I apologize.
For Vitamin B, I've been advised to get it from *natural* yeast that
you can mix with low-fat, no sugar added, yogurt. Do you have
organisations in your area that can help you with cooking?

Thank you, Mike. It's almost not necessary but a delight to find someone on
Usenet who
will apologize for something. I'm a little embarrassed right now. Your
response hit a nerve, last night,
and I almost ripped you a big one. Again, thank you.
It's all good. One the best advice I can give you is that before
trying to figure out what your menu should be that you build your menu
around veggies. Eat as much veggie you can in a day and you won't have
much have room left for anything left. I'm a steak person. I could
have it for breakfast, no problem. I cooked a large piece of it last
night, enough to feed two persons. If I had not had anything else to
eat, I would have eaten all of it, and would have been hungry an hour
later. What I did is to have a herbal tea and a huge soup of only
veggies. After that, I did not have enough space for the whole steak,
so I ate only the half of it, and kept the rest for the next day. When
it comes to weight-management, nothing beats the veggies!
The China study shows that those who ate the most fruits and vegetables
were also the fattest. So it would seem that for weight management, at
least if the purpose is to grow fatter, then eating veggies is the way
to go.

You'd have been better off eating the whole steak. Steak is meat and
meat contains no carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates drive insulin drives fat accumulation.- Masquer le texte des messages précédents -

"THE" China study? Never heard of it. If it was done by Chinese, then
I would not rely to much on it. The statement you mane is a too broad,
anyway. You're not telling me WICH fruits they eat. I eat mostly those
that don't make my glands produce too much fat-storing hormones. As
for steak, I buy the one containing no hormones or antibiotics.

All fruits and vegetables contain carbohydrates to some degree. There is
only one fat-storing hormone, it's insulin and it's not a gland that
makes it, it's the pancreas. More specifically, the beta cells inside
the pancreas. And there is only two things that make the pancreas
secrete and release insulin, it's carbohydrates and protein. But there's
only one of those that causes fat to accumulate, it's carbohydrates.

The mechanism is complicated and even I don't know everything that goes
on but I'll try to explain it in the simplest terms I can.

As I said, insulin is a storage hormone. Its primary function is to
store nutrients, all nutrients inside fat cells. Insulin is the primary
regulator of fat cells. Fat is stored inside fat cells as triglycerides.
Fat is also transported as triglycerides. But triglycerides are too big
to go through the fat cell membrane so it must be dismantled. Fat enters
and exits fat cells as fatty acids. Once inside, the fatty acids are
recombined into triglycerides using a molecule called alpha glycerol
phosphate i.e. glycerol.

This glycerol molecule is critical to fat accumulation. Without it,
fatty acids can't be bound and fat can't be stored. This molecule is the
by-product of glucose metabolism inside fat cells.

As fat cells use glucose, they produce glycerol. This glycerol is used
to recombine fatty acids into triglycerides for storage. As we eat
carbohydrates, blood glucose rises, insulin rises, insulin takes glucose
(and fatty acids) and stores it inside fat cells, fat cells use glucose,
produce glycerol which can then be used to recombine the fatty acids
into triglycerides for storage. Fat accumulates, we grow fat.

Protein doesn't cause glucose to rise so it can't cause fat accumulation
like I explained above even though it causes insulin to rise. However,
in the context of a low carb diet, eating protein can cause a stall in
fat loss temporarily because it causes insulin to rise temporarily. The
solution to this is easy, eat less protein but eat more fat.
