Is Dr. Phil a psychologist or an accountant. He makes me soooo tired.

Losing weight needs to be simplified and made attractive.
That means a wide variety of wholesome, appetizing food, nice meals,
minimal snacking, an optimistic attitude and a productive life. it
helps to have a Whole Foods market nearby for focus on shopping for
what you want that is actually what you need.

In the time spent with the calculator and all the supposition and
numbers crunching (which you negate by cheating0 you could be doing
something that's fun instead!

i think Dr. Phil is a blight and so are all the other elaborate diet
specialists with their demanding, exacting programs.

Make lifestyle changes and moderations and stop looking for pie in the
sky you can eat and still expect to lose weight.

There is no substitute for the right food

It's just one page of the book, designed to illustrate the bad choices we
make/made to get us fat. Dr. Phil's diet plan does not require any calorie
counting. It is definitely not an elaborate plan and is not demanding or
exacting. Before you criticize a diet plan, read the fricking book or you
come off looking like an *idiot*. The last sentence in your post could have
been lifted directly out of the book!

This is from the book, p. 185:

"If you hate counting calories, adding up points, calculating charbohydrates
or fat grams, multiplying nutrient percentages, and having to remember
confusing details about food groups, then you will love what I am going to
show you about meal planning. All you have to do is take out a dinner plate
and mentally divide it into four sections, or quadrants.

At each meal, fill one section with a protein, another section with a
starch, and the remaining two sections with vegetables or a vegetable and a
fruit. Another way to look at this is that one-fourth of your food comes
frpm protein, one-fourth from starch, and the rest (half of your plate)
comes from low-calories, high-fiber plant-based foods, including fruits and
vegetables."

From p. 190

"THE SEVEN-DAY HIGH-RESPONSE COST, HIGH-YIELD FOOD PLAN

Day 1: Sunday

Breakfast: Banana, oat bran (cooked), low-fat milk, coffee or tea
Snack: Apple, meal replacement beverages [i.e., protein shake (my comment)]
Lunch: Tuna, vegetable soupu, salad greens and slice tomato, whole-wheat
roll (medium), reduced-fat salad dressing
Snack: Orange
Dinner: Sirloin steak, baked potato with fat-free sour cream, broccoli,
green beans"

In between page 185-190, he explains what good portion sizes are and how to
judge them. He also explains prior to p.185 what are the "good" foods.
There is absolutely nothing listed that I would disagree with.

Open your mind, Carol. It gets stale in there if you don't!

Sorry T, in my books, money grubbing Dr. Phil is the bad choice. he has
now crowned himself king of the diet community when i would give the
title to Richard Simmons for genuibe caring that is not self serving. I
am very akti Phil becaus of how he embarasses subjects on national
television.
