If you want the diet to work, try eating less and exercising more instead
of making excuses.


Did you even look at my example daily menus? eat less??? Some have said
I'm probably not eating enough. And as far as exercise, like I said, I'm
new at it and taking into consideration my physical problems and how much I
am overweight, I think I'm going okay right now.

If you're not losing weight then you're eating too much. You are not a
scientific anomaly that can live outside the rules of the physical universe.
Quit making excuses and eat less and exercise more if you want the diet to
work. FFS, at your weight if you missed a meal or two the fat would start
falling off.

Angie, I had a thought this morning. You said how far you were going on your
exercising. That's backwards! What I mean is, you should be counting how
long you do the exercise and not worry about how far you walk. Aim for 30
minutes a day and forget the distance. As you lose weight and get fitter,
the distance will go up all by itself.

Yep, I always do 30 to 40 minutes minimum. I had read a long time ago that
your metabolism will actually benefit from actually 40 minutes or more.

I don't know what you mean by "your metabolism will actually benefit." Mine
must really be benefiting right now because I rode my bike 70 miles today!
BTW: Did you realize you used the word "actually" twice in the same
sentence?

Long & steady doens't boost metabolism nearly as much a stort & hard. That
old theory and been replaced by new research.

Where I would quibble with your statement is that someone has to develop a
base first. As you know, I am a swimmer, and I see lots of young guys who
get in the pool, thrash like crazy to the far end (25 m) and then have to
hang there, limp, huffing and puffing until they can muster the strength to
do the same on the way back. They have no base to fall back on and they
usually do this routine twice and then quit. I wonder if they are thinking,
"There! I've been swimming and I've accomplished something." Because they
haven't, not really. They haven't developed the lungs, the muscles, the
breathing techniques......

If you are saying it would be better for her to say, walk 10 minutes fast
but repeat that over the course of the day 3 or 4 times, I can't see
anything "wrong" with that. But, it doesn't develop a base.

(what is stort & hard?)
