Sorry folks, Life gets in the way sometimes. I am still around but very busy. Any comments are forwarded to my In box. I have 3 protégés who have either lost the weight they wanted or are well on their way (or is that weigh? ;-) ) Each is doing it their own way but every one who has started quickly finds that the psychological boost they get from just focusing on maintaining a steady blood glucose level keeps them up and enthusiastic and they do not suffer from out of control hunger. No diet works if you have uncontrollable hunger and most of all you cannot maintain it for life.
People may start to think you are picky - and you are but you don't have to eat things you don't like. Just leave out a few things that you learn not to crave any more.
I just got back from a visit with friends and we ate out quite a few times. They like Mexican food. I could not believe the portion sizes (4 tacos!) with tons of cheese on the plate! Enough for 3 people and a doggie bag!
Have you seen the TIME magazine special? June 23 2008. It is titled "Our Supersized Kids". It gets it right. I hope you can find a copy. It applies to adults too. After all we have to set the example. Fat parents raise fat kids and they are going to die younger than the last generation of preventable illnesses. Very sad.
