*only* two pounds
I was thinking the other day about the whole notion of folks
complaining about losing *only* two pounds in some period of time. Go to your fridge. Take out eight sticks of butter and look at them. That is 2 lbs of fat. That is what is *off* your body when you lose *only* two pounds. Seems like a *lot* of fat loss to me. I can't see an *only* in eight sticks of butter. |

A slow but steady 2 pounds is great. It just requires some patience. |

*only* two pounds
The problem for me is that the book ( I'm talking South Beach Diet here)
*promises* that if you follow his plan you will lose 8-13 lbs. in the first two weeks. He even mentions that exercise is not essential but of course always a good idea. He even includes in the book a day by day menu plan. I wanted to be a purest and follow the plan verbatim so as not to make any errors in food consumption. I've only lost 2 or so pounds. A person who is doing everything the book says and is *promised* something feels cheated and lied to when it doesn't happen for them. Losing weight can be an emotional thing and when you do lose it gives you the incentive to keep going. I think the book should have explained in greater detail what types of people will benefit the most from this diet and who will not. Since starting this diet I have learned sooooooooooo much more from this newsgroup and other sources. I FEEL CHEATED! However, and I continuing on the low carb thing and giving it more time. Time will tell. dot "jpatti" wrote in message om... I was thinking the other day about the whole notion of folks complaining about losing *only* two pounds in some period of time. Go to your fridge.

*only* two pounds
good visual. I have many sticks to get rid of.
anyone remember when Oprah wheeled out 50 lbs of beef fat when she had lost that much? how about carrying bags of groceries up the stairs and thinking this is how much extra I am carrying around in fat. I carried a 50 lb box to a customer's door and thought I hate this.....but I do it every minute of my life at this weight Diane -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you still wasting your time with spam?...

*only* two pounds
Depends upon yor goal. I have never had much will power. FOr that
reason I didn't try diets. Diets always stressed lots of fruit and vegetables, which I ate less of (typical guy diet). Diets usually talked about 1 lb a week in loss. For someone 150 lbs overweight, that means staying on a strict diet for 3 years. For the typical low-fat, low calorie, rabbit-food diets that looked like planned failure to me. I've spent the last fifteen years consciously expanding my tastes. When I was 18 I ate hamburgers, fries, chili, tacos, ham, sausage, chicken, corn, tuna fish, pasta(not a favorite), and deli sandwiches- that's about it. Over the years I forced myself to experiment with different and better foods. Over time I came to see salad as good lunch (Although I like a large variety in my salad). I now eat fresh fish, shellfish, sushi, and lots of different ethnic dishes. I experiment with cooking often. Fresh veggies dipped in ranch or a vegetable dip are a favorite at parties. I'm one of the least picky eaters I know. Unfortunately also a chocoholic and a eat-what-i-see person. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) |
