An exciting show is great for that.

How about real food? IEvery single time a healthful slim friend gives advice (which is rarely) it's more of the "portion control," "real food," variety and less of the "have more artificial sweetener and faux foods!" variety. <br /><br />Good luck finding what works for you.

It appeals to my competitive nature in an odd way because I have to be at least as good as she was. :)Counting Caballeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468483600948636452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-47946575088000706932014-02-25T14:56:26.445-06:002014-02-25T14:56:26.445-06:00No, I lied, I will give you some more advice.
Kee...No, I lied, I will give you some more advice.<br /><br />Keeping a food blog helped me as well. Writing down what I ate and having it in black and white in front of me kept me on track and helped with carb & calorie counting.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-62463153668220840102014-02-25T14:52:40.149-06:002014-02-25T14:52:40.149-06:00Back when I was employed and had money for such th...Back when I was employed and had money for such things, I did Atkins and it worked really well for me, but I know it isn't for everyone. Also, that explanation of the ketosis is sort of incorrect. Your body chooses to burn calories in this way: carbs, fat, muscle. If you carb load and don't exercise or do a minimum of exercise, then your body will only burn through a layer of carbs. Everything else will turn to fat. When you reduce/eliminate carbs/sugar, then when your body does start to burn calories naturally, it has less carbs to burn through and will start to burn the fat too. That's why Atkins and people who eat less sugar (i.e., diabetics, Paleo dieters) can lose weight fast. But those lifestyle eating choices are difficult to maintain unless everyone in the family is on the same eating plan. <br /><br />The only advice I'd give is to consult your doctor and/or a nutritionist to help you talk about what's healthy and what's not in terms of how much weight you ought to lose, etc. <br /><br />Otherwise, good for you for trying to get your health on track and keep up the good work!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
