I'll just leave you with this quote from Dr. Michael Eades: "Exercise because it’s good for you: it builds muscle mass, it makes you stronger, it improves bone density, etc. But eat fewer carbs to lose weight."

can you go back and address my sugar question?

i did, top of page 5. like i said, sorry if that isn't the answer of which you were hoping

Pal, I skipped over that response by accident. Ease of the throttle a bit.

Thanks for the info. That is what I was looking for.

Huh? I wasn't trying to seem belligerent. Just saying sorry if I couldn't give you the answer you were looking for. The tone was certainly not meant to offend

Gotcha. You answered it. I appreciate the info. I have some decisions to make.

I've started up my nutribullet breakfasts again, but I have a sweet tooth. I also drink one really nice beer a day. I need to lose about 15 pounds to be where I want to be. I know that I am going to have to do a better job with my diet. I don't eat a lot of candy. Deserts and sweet tea are my weaknesses.

RE: Why you shouldn't trust dating site photos - this noob messed up
those weaknesses are hardly unique. I have little doubt that cutting out sugar will precede a drop in weight, as well as help you continue to avoid. The problem with sugar is that consuming it is like a self replicating problem in that the more consistently you eat it, the more consistently you'll crave it. The reverse is also true. My general advice is to make sure you eat plenty of quality calories, that will satiate you and cut any cravings for processed foods

Good words. It is like any addiction. Sugar tends to fill an emotional void in our lives.

When shopping, I stick with the "shop the parameter rule" Stay off the isles. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole meats, eggs and dairy, juices.

I believe a whole foods diet is best. I seldom eat meals from a box or package.

Not enough. I am in the process of upping it. I have started jogging in the mornings before work and plan on going back to my weight lifting routine once I drop a couple pounds.

What sucks is how little i knew a decade ago. All those years spent eating cereal for breakfast and a bagel for lunch. I could be so much healthier now, but I guess you live and learn

03-yes

I still struggle w/ carbs since I'm a sweettooth. But even cutting back some makes a noticeable difference.

I have very little patience for fat people. I haven't had candy or dessert in over a year and I constantly make sure i watch what I eat.

This is true both from a biology and chemistry perspective but also psychological as well. I have a diet and exercise routine that works for me.

That's not healthy and she knows it but that's what she finds easiest to do, I would never do that.

I find health and fitness to be a huge problem because of this, everyone is looking to tell everyone else what works (or even worse what doesn't work) based off of their own experiences, opinions and biased articles. People get very evangelical about certain diets and if you go to the gym there's always someone who thinks they know exactly what you have to do and when. You have to find what you are comfortable doing, because if you're not comfortable doing it then you don't enjoy it and it won't be sustainable in the long term.

Exactly. People also don't factor in stress and sleep and those two can hinder weight loss and fitness as well.

When my wife was in nursing school, we went Paleo and did a Crossfit type workout. I'd go to bed at 10 every night and was up at 5. She'd go to bed about midnight and be up at 5 with me.

I've seen her so stressed the littlest thing would set her off.

She'd lose half an ounce a week, I'd drop a couple lbs.

There's tweaks and such you have to do to find your sweet spot.

Especially this. It's amazing how few people factor in stress when it comes to health and weight loss. IMO health has 3 pillars: diet, activity and stress. You can eat an optimal human diet and exercise like a mad man, but if you're totally stressed out it'll be extremely hard to improve your health.

why does something so out of your control piss you off? what do you mean by "having little patience for fat people?" in what way are they impeding your life?

let's start with health insurance. Or how about sitting next to an overweight person on a plane? You act like they're just off in this vacuum and their weight never affects anyone. It'd be one thing if I was arguing against gay marriage, as that doesn't affect me in a tangible way. But I believe a person's weight can definitely affect my life. perhaps not always in glaring ways, but I do believe it can affect us.

And what does a person's level of control over something have to do with how angry they can be towards it? I have no control over NBA owners artificially suppressing players' salaries, but I believe I'm justified in finding it ridiculously unfair.

I agree, but only to a point. If you're doing weight watchers and you've lost 15 pounds, it might seem great, but have you really improved your health? Working on the point system WW allows you to eat whatever you want so long as you have enough points to do so. So that might mean you're staying within the WW parameters, but you might not be eating healthy. I think we need to disassociate weight loss from health improvement, as the two don't always go hand in hand

you really should be pleased (and i hope you read this as having a sincere tone) and proud. People joke around about being overweight and how they know they shouldn't be eating this piece of cake, or drinking that soda, but IMO it's no laughing matter. Health is not only important for humans as a collective group, but also in our little groups. Can it not become a burden on our loved ones when we allow our health to deteriorate? I believe people like you should be vocal about becoming healthier because you might just influence some people around you and that's hardly a bad thing
