Invitation to discuss low-calorie approaches to weight-loss on alt.support.diet.low-calorie
This is an invitation to anyone who would like to join alt.support.diet.low-calorie - I've started another 100 Day Diet and am posting on alt-support.diet.low-calorie. Seems to be going quite well and I sure intend to keep posting through May and maybe (hopefully) longer. If anyone else wants to share their successes or questions about losing weight through low-calorie methods, I'd be delighted to see them there! Yours, Caleb Day 32 - 19 pounds gone |

Is this the same guy who does this every year? Because then he stops and gains all the weight back and has to start over? |

Yours, Caleb Why don't you tell us how much you lost on the last 100 day diet, and how much you regained from day 101 onwards? janice So it is him! Yup! It sure is me. I'll be posting on alt.support.diet.low-calorie my progress. I guess one of my points is that it simply is not that difficult or complicated to take the weight off. There is no need for people suffer emotional turmoil, self-doubt, etc. If they follow a sensible dietary approach over time, they WILL lose weight. Nothing rocket science about it. However, following a sensible approach over time is not easy. I've done it before (quite simply) and I'll do it again this time -- hope it's the last time -- but regardless, it's just not that tough to do. I sure am a hell of a lot healthier than when I first started this approach in '99. I am alive, am far more physically fit, etc., etc. Couple of points for people to remember: There's a lot of bad advice out there competing for their attention. It all does break down to calories in versus calories used up. Weighing regularly is probably essential for most people. (I have a simple balance beam system that I have found very helpful since '99 that you can read about if you search "indicator" "caleb" "balance beam" on Google.) Recording calories -- or at least insuring that what you eat adheres to your dietary goals -- is important. Regular exercise is important, although the recent research from Pennington (Ravussin et al) shows that exercise is not a panacea and that some of the vaunted effects of exercise (e.g., muscle speeding up metabolism) are not supported by current data. Most important is just to keep at it -- put your nose down and just keep plugging along. For every one who unreasonably assails you, you might imagine their face at a trough, wonder exactly what their weight loss history is (is there a weight-loss wing of the Mayo Clinic in their name?), etc. As Rosie used to say, "Your mileage may vary!" And certainly it is true that there are different strokes for different folks. To repeat, weight-loss is not rocket science but it still is not easy. Too bad we can't be like a horse in blinders that continually plows a road in a field, undistracted by harmful or inconsequential things. Yours, Caleb |

But, Caleb, are you really losing weight the first 100 days of every year, and regaining it during the rest of the year? That sounds like yoyo dieting, and that isn't terribly good for you, is it? |

Too bad we can't be like a horse in blinders that continually plows a road in a field, undistracted by harmful or inconsequential things. But, Caleb, are you really losing weight the first 100 days of every year, and regaining it during the rest of the year? That sounds like yoyo dieting, and that isn't terribly good for you, is it? Since you ask seriously -- I don't think I've lost significant amounts of weight for about 2 years or perhaps more. So it seems to me about time to get in harness again. I remember attending a conference up in Seattle in the early 90s and the presenter (it was on weight and exercise) noted how hugely people's diets varied calorically. Great big swings, with some days being several thousand and the next day being twice that. Eating consistently and healthily turns out to be quite difficult for most Americans, especially in this culture that makes snacks, large portions, a variety of foods, etc., more available. As to so called "yo-yo" dieting, one of the myths I guess I'd like to put to rest is that it's difficult to lose weight if one has done it before. There has been (certainly for me, and also the diet literature shows it as well) no increased difficulty in losing weight because I had done it before. There have been a variety of studies on weight- cycling and there appears to be no clear consensus of the downside. However, there is fairly clear agreement on what the downside of remaining overweight and out of shape is. (Also, should there be a doorman at WW who will not let you enter if you have several times regained the weight you lost? If that happened, I think not too many people who had a genuine weight problem would be permitted in.) Also, given a choice between losing some weight or getting some exercise (if one had to pick one or the other), some studies indicate that losing weight is probably more important. Weight loss is the difference between life or death for many people. And it sure can make a huge difference emotionally, socially, vocationally, etc. Mondale said in his run against Reagan: "It's not what we don't know that's going to get us. It's what we know that just ain't so." (I think he was quoting Will Rogers but am not sure.) And within the world of dieting, there are many statements made with the feel of utter certainty that turn out in the long run to be dubious. Actually, I don't agree with his politics but I think Michael Fumento's "Fat of the Land" is a pretty good look at some of the important variables in dieting. I'm pretty happy with the weight loss program I'm on now. Doesn't cost me anything. I feel comfortable knowing that I'm improving my physical status, that my clothes are getting looser, that I'll be able to carry a backpack longer distances, etc. I sure don't gnash my teeth and dwell on my failing. Life is short -- or, as my daughter once said, it's not that life is short -- it's that death is long. I'd rather be healthy than not. And if what I'm doing helps motivate others to lose weight in their own way, then that's to the good. Anyway, thanks for asking! I sure hope your program is going well! What kind of program are you on? Yours, Caleb |
