Snarley Bill Posted January 10, 2009 Share #26 Posted January 10, 2009 try the atkins diet. i eat like a hog, never get hungry, and lose weight like crazy. example, last night for dinner i had two thick barbequed pork steaks basted with garlic and real butter, a pan full of yellow squash and mushrooms sauteed in butter, and some clausen pickle halves. i just had for breakfast four slices of spam on sliced cheese. today linda and i are going to stefaninas pizza parlor and we are going to have a dinner salad, and a large deluxe thin crust pizza. not going to tell you how much i lost so far cuz the first couple of weeks is just cleaning out your system on any diet, i usually lose 3 lbs a week when i get in full swing. anyone interested buy the atkins book. it is very scientific and changes your metabolism. will also cure diabetes, lower blood pressure, and alot of folks with heart disease have come off there medication, like me. also it will lower colesterol and you can eat real butter and all the fat you want. the down part is you have to give up beer, all that nasty sugar, and starchy foods like pasta, potatoes and bread. i do eat alot of the good and healthy vegetables like broccoli, cauloflower, etc.. i do cheat a little on the bread. i have lost over 110 lbs on the atkins diet. i try to maintain 195 lbs now when i gain a little back cheating, i just hit the diet again for a month or two and lose it. it's like never being on a diet. one thing i do is take a lot of vitamins. like megadoses of c,e, beta carotine, fish oil, b12, and super b complex. mostly for energy, and eliminating free radicals for cancer prevention. try it it works great. bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarley Bill Posted January 10, 2009 Share #29 Posted January 10, 2009 another neat snack if you like pork rinds, is mix tuna and real mayonaise, or any other canned 0 carb meat and spread it on the pork rinds. vienna sausages are good, and most any kind of meat on sliced cheese. big thing is stick to the 0 carb stuff. i try to hold my carb intake to around 15 grams a day. not that hard to do. you will get the good carbs in the good vegetables you eat. no donuts. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecb Posted January 11, 2009 Share #31 Posted January 11, 2009 Eat lots of food, drink lots of beer...BUT... exercise. That is the only thing that will take weight off regardless what diet/food regime you are on. If you read the fine print, they all say " with proper exercise " :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted January 11, 2009 Share #33 Posted January 11, 2009 Cut out ALL Sugar !! Thats the one most effective item--- SUGAR = BAD GASOLINE IN YOUR TANK !!!!! Cut the Carbs in half, and double the protien !! I eat lots of Egg whites, and give the Yokes to the Dog !! Those three items, and your on your way, a good start even without going to the Gym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3FOL Posted January 12, 2009 Share #45 Posted January 12, 2009 About 2 years ago, I weighed in at 193 lbs. and only 5'5". To date, I keep my weight at 170 lbs. and I don't want to loose any more weight at this point. I pretty much each almost anything, but the most important in being successful to loose the extra pouns is to eat the right PORTION / AMOUNT for the meal + do lots of cardio exercise. Running, jump rope, stairmaster...anything that will bring your heart rate up. I prefer basketball and it is one of my favorite outdoor sports. There is a lot of benefit on loosing those unwanted pounds...and your Venture will like it too. Keep up the good work and KEEP MOVING! Ride safe.

Ivan Posted January 12, 2009 Share #47 Posted January 12, 2009 I just started the Alli plan about two weeks ago. I need to loose about 145 to be what they call "Normal BMI" So far I have not lost much at all. The upside is that my heartburn has decreased, I am sleeping better, and feeling much better as a whole. The alli plan is a low fat plan with a pill that limits how well you digest fat. Since undigested fat is a laxative, eating too much fat can have involuntary and "explosive" consequences. I have found that limiting fat intake is pretty easy, due to the variety of fat free and low fat alternatives available today. Calories are very easy to keep down, since fats are the highest calorie density foods. I am supposed to shoot for 1800 a day, and that has not been a problem. I woudl die for a 16 oz ribeye eith all the trimming though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeS Posted January 12, 2009 Share #48 Posted January 12, 2009 Cut out the white tatos, and rice!! Replace with whole grain bread, and lots of dark colored vegies !! Replace the taters and rice, with more protien!! Eliminate ALL SUGAR, REPEAT, ALL SUGAR !!!! ( consider the stuff as poison ) Its much worse then fatty foods. Sugar, makes instant fat cells !!! Remember, 1 can of Coke, is 40 grams of sugar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats more then is allowed on most diets, for an entire week. Meet me at the gym tomorrow morning, and lets pump some IRON !!!

Then I can get my exercise just chasing her around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 12, 2009 Share #50 Posted January 12, 2009 I'm using Weight Watchers My official goal was 35lbs, unofficially 40lbs. 1st week I've lost 6 lbs. My only problem is a low calorie, low fat salty snack other than rice cakes. Any ideas would be appreciated. Jay Dill pickles.... you use more carbs to digest them than you get from them.
