Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hello Judy, Congratulation on taking steps to improve your diet. As you have found, CRON-o-Meter helps you to figure out your deficiencies and excesses. What you need now is to get a plan of action to improve your diet. Some of the scientific publications that we have discussed here about wine seem to indicate that there is not much health benefit from drinking more than two glasses of wine per day. Excess drinking increases your chances of accidents and may damage the liver. Your note says that you drink a 750 ml bottle of wine on the weekends. If you drink one bottle over two days (Saturday and Sunday) it is not too much. However, if you drink one bottle on Saturday and one on Sunday, then it is definitely too much. A 5 oz serving (~150 ml) has around 125 calories. One whole bottle has 625 calories which is equivalent to the calories of one meal. This number of excess empty calories will not allow you to lose weight. Your statement that you don't see yourself " going to an AA meeting " indicates that you are concerned that you may have an addiction. Most addictions start from psychological needs and get perpetuated by chemical dependencies. You have to address both. People who recognize themselves as alcoholics sometimes find it easier to abstain from alcohol altogether rather than risk binge drinking by including alcoholic beverages in their diet. This is something that you have to decide yourself. By having taken the initial steps toward Optimum Nutrition, you have already made progress. All of us have had to abandon our bad eating habits and bad foods to get to where we are today. This is accomplished by perseverance and aiming for some tangible goals that we set for ourselves. These are some links that touch on the subject of psychology of substance addiction: Psychology of Smoking http://www.scientificpsychic.com/health/smoking-psychology.html Drug Rehabilitation http://www.scientificpsychic.com/health/drug-rehab.html Maybe you can change your life on your own and you may not need to participate in AA meetings, but don't discount the possibility that someone else can help you. In this group we provide support for Calorie Restriction with Optimum Nutrition. From that point of view we can suggest how to improve your diet to eliminate the problems that CRON-o-Meter has pointed out. Best Wishes, Tony > > Hello, > > I read Dr Walford's book last summer.
