I do know that the research now clearly supports the long-term positive effects of keeping off substantial weight for even relatively short periods of time. See the literature on Diabetes 2 prevention, for instance. Thanks for your wishes! Yours, Caleb Teacher -- Oops! I typed the login word for google as your name. (This is the changing word on the bottom of the Google screen) Yours, Caleb More about the atrocious effect of Diabetes 2: "About 5%–10% of diabetes cases in North America are type 1, with the rest being type 2. The fraction of type 1 in other parts of the world differs; this is likely due to both differences in the rate of type 1 and differences in the rate of other types, most prominently type 2. Most of this difference is not currently understood. The American Diabetes Association point out the 2003 assessment of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) that 1 in 3 Americans born after 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.[52][53] "According to the American Diabetes Association, approximately 18.3% (8.6 million) of Americans age 60 and older have diabetes. [54] Diabetes mellitus prevalence increases with age, and the numbers of older persons with diabetes are expected to grow as the elderly population increases in number. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) demonstrated that, in the population over 65 years old, 18% to 20% have diabetes, with 40% having either diabetes or its precursor form of impaired glucose tolerance.[46]" This is form Wikipedia.org on Diabetes Mellitus. But it doesn't begin to illustrate the loss of fingers, eye-sight, the onset of foot-pain, the individual onset of heart problems, etc. Pretty incredible and awful thing, especially if it can be positively impacted by intermittent substantial weight loss that lasts at least 18 months. So those who tell people not to lose weight until they are sure that people will be able to permanently maintain their weight loss are doing a huge disservice to others. Does this make sense? Yours, Caleb Day 2 of 100 Days I’ve come back from my walk. A little shorter than yesterday. I did well today, with limited calories and no real straying. Hope everyone meets their goals! Caleb |

Day 2 of 100 Day Diet
250/247/200 August 19, 2008 I got on my balance-beam scale this morning this morning and saw that I weigh 247 pounds. Therefore, on day two of my diet, 3 pounds are gone. I know almost all of that is water, but it's fun to see it gone. Also, considering health issues in general, even water going away is quite good.

I found them very interesting. I just think that, all in all, permanent would be better than temporary, and that takes as much planning as losing does. Perhaps this time you will include maintenance in your plans, too. =c) I believe maintenance would be better too. An argument might be made for the other side -- for example, neuropsychologist Mattson found that intermittent eating (that is, eating every other day) lead to reduction in markers for Alzheimer's and also lead to inability to resist the effects of stroke damage. Similarly, perhaps weight loss and weight gains would be more healthy than maintaining it an absolutely static level. A major problem is, of course, that people fluctuate in a way, all too often they fluctuate upwards. (Isn't it funny how that happens?) It's far better for people to find a way to and stick with it. However, as I noted above, even expert Jillian Michaels said that she cannot promise with her techniques that maintenance would happen. (And she is an expert who was then working in this area for many, many years.) I would like to point out that many, many, many people here have denigrated the idea of substantial weight loss, even if it is not permanent. However, this is probably done a huge disservice to many people here, who feel that the "general consensus" is that if they cannot lose their weight and maintain the weight loss, it is more healthy to refrain from dieting the never attempt to lose weight. Nothing is planned perfectly in life. Even a driving to work we don't know what cars may be ahead of us, what traffic tie ups, etc. If we take the bus, maybe the bus has broken down, etc. but for far too long too many people in this "support group" were vocally toxic to those who are trying to lose weight "imperfectly." I sure agree with what Rosie said several years ago "Your mileage may vary." There is no royal road to weight loss. The basic ideas are simple--to lose weight, take in fewer calories that will support your current weight. There are many different ways to do this. However, listening to some of the "experts" on this listserv, it seems that only their way is the right way. So once again I point out that many, many people have been discouraged by the critical voices on this support group. I would imagine that this translates into many infirmities and at least some deaths. Yours, Caleb |

So, Caleb, are you planning to keep the weight off this time, by adhering to a healthy diet after you lose the weight? Probably not. How many years has Caleb been doing this stunt? This time, however, ASD, for better or worse, is pretty much dead, so Caleb has the place to himself. In the long run, that is certainly healthier than losing-gaining-losing-gaining. I do wish you long term success. |

I know almost all of that is water, but it's fun to see it gone. Also, considering health issues in general, even water going away is quite good. I had about 900 calories all day yesterday, and also walked quite arduously for 40 minutes (with weights on my ankles and also pumping weights up and down). Today I'm a little bit stiff from that, but the stiffness will go away. I did not sleep well last night, but traditionally that has been the case for me when I switched to a low-calorie approach. The brain does not have as much carbohydrate as it traditionally does, and I looked at the restlessness as a sign that my diet is working. (I will sleep much better in the days ahead.) I have a book of Positive Quotations that I devil in from time to time. One of the quotes is this: "There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction." So said John F. Kennedy. I know that if I keep out what I'm doing, the weight will have to come off (unless the laws of physics are suspended in my kitchen--and they are not). If I continue to do what I did yesterday, then by Thanksgiving, I would've lost a great deal of weight. Thanksgiving will come whether or not I am healthy. I certainly want to reach it healthier that I am now. I hope that everyone is able to find an effective diet approach and stick to it! So, Caleb, are you planning to keep the weight off this time, by adhering to a healthy diet after you lose the weight? Probably not. How many years has Caleb been doing this stunt? This time, however, ASD, for better or worse, is pretty much dead, so Caleb has the place to himself. In the long run, that is certainly healthier than losing-gaining-losing-gaining. I do wish you long term success. We have also learned that losing substantial weight for even a relatively short period of time is very healthy, in terms of Diabetes 2. So hopefully we all learn more about the important issues in life and do not stop people from doing things to help themselves. Also we again are reminded that losing weight is a simple equation, fewer calories in to help us lose weight. Yours, Caleb |
