Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Hi, I'm new to the group and a recent convert to raw dairy & grass fed meats(about 2 months). In addition, I have just about eliminated caffeine and sugar from my diet and I am really packing on some weight. I'm not a big bread eater either. I'm kinda discouraged. I'd say I've gained at least 7 lbs. in the last 2 months. I'm talking I can't fit in my clothes! The only thing I'm not doing on a regular basis is walking. I got off my routine (3-4 days weekly) when we got the hurricanes and I'm struggling to get back on track. Can anyone help? Thanks, Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 It was (and is) my experience that when you switch to this kind of diet, it is real easy to eat more than you need to. I have had to stop thinking I must eat some of everything every day and be very careful with portions. Also, I realized that I was eating too much meat and dairy and not enough vegetables. Yes, the meat and dairy is extremely important (and very tasty), but it really packs on the pounds if you are not careful. And of course, exercise is essential and very hard to find the time for. I am still battling. --- In , " kdfw61 " <kdfw61@y...> wrote: > > Hi, > I'm new to the group and a recent convert to raw dairy & grass fed > meats(about 2 months).

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Thanks , for your input. I made myself get out & walk 1 hour at a good pace this morning. I'll try watching the portions, focus more on veggies and force myself out the door for some type of activity more often. Hopefully this will get me back in my britches!

Try to get a balance of high volume, less concentrated foods (such as salads, veggies, soups) and the more concentrated ones (meats, cheese, creams etc). I lost about 35 lbs. over about 9 months time by doing this. I always eat the less concentrated foods first and then eat my fill of the denser foods. You may have to play with it a little to find the balance that works for you. If you are interested, there is an interesting book called " Volumetrics " that deals with exactly this principle. It can be applied to anyone's diet. Exercise is important too, whatever form it takes. ~~ Jocelyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
