I know there are lots of opinions about what keeps you satisfied longer...protein, fat or carbs? The answer to that one was easy for me: nothing kept me satisfied. I always wanted to eat more, and still do....I just don't eat once I reach my quota of calories. I lost 29 pounds so far in about two and a half months. I am following Dr. Perricone's recommendations on foods and nutritional supplements. I haven't had much craving to overeat. I have eaten very little high carb food since the end of last December. I have had a few bowls of Ramen noodles, a few bowls of cereal, and a few cups of coffee. They caused me to gain back a few pounds which then took a few days to get rid of again. Foods made with flour or sugar are deadly to me. They make me gain weight rapidly. I'm going to stay off of them for good, for the rest of my life. They do a lot of damage to your body in many ways, not just make you fat. I think I haven't had any high carb food in over a week now. I quit eating any kind of junk food or unhealthy food. I quit eating anything made of flour, corn, sugar, or rice. I just eat vegetables, fruit, meat, yogurt, kefir, and nuts. I have found that I don't really lose much weight if any unless I exercise. |

At first I think I was lacking some energy and I felt a little depressed, but then I ate a little more food each day and I started taking Syntrax r-alpha lipoic acid and Swanson coenzyme Q10. Now my energy is pretty good. I'm not losing weight as fast I was before, but I'm still losing about 1.5 to 2 pounds each week, depending on how much I exercise. I don't want to deprive my body of nutrition or lose muscle mass. I'm trying to increase muscle mass. |

One thing that worked for me, in terms of the mental energy thing, is treat it like quitting smoking (if you ever smoked). Don't beat yourself up for what you didn't do.

and i think this varies from person to person, nothing fills me up and makes
me not hungry longer than a good baked potato, doesn't even need all of the goop, but i don't lose when i eat them, to any regular degree, Lee "Stephanie" wrote in message ...

Also bet you weren't drinking enough liquids so retained water again. It's not the high carbs. I eat a lot of carbs and have had no problems dropping 67 pounds. Well... since veggies are carbs... most peopele do! My main problem with the breads, potato and whatnot is that they do not stick to the ribs and keep you satisfied. I am hunry right away when I eat this stuff. |
