Re: Rosedale diet/weight loss

[Guest guest]

, I gained more weight with my second pregnancy and have hardly lost

any of it. The only thing different from the first pregnancy is i'm eating

WAPF foods. The only thing the same is i haven't totally given up some of my

bad habits. People I know who are naturally thin say they gain weight on the

WAPF diet until they figure out they need to eat less carbs to compensate

for the extra dietary fat. For people with a history of weight problems,

this is easier said than done. All that addiction and emotional history and

lifelong bad habit in the way. I don't believe anyone in this country has

gotten fat from eating lots of fat and protein. When I eat a high fat diet i

feel great and hardly prone at all to my eating disorders. But there are

times when i don't eat as well -- too busy, out, traveling -- and i slip and

it's hard to make it all right again. One starchy, sugary thing can send me

into a tailspin for days. You're probably like me. You *know* what to eat.

Doing it is another thing. I recommend www.dietwatch.com. It's an online

support group for weight loss with discussion boards and a 12 week program

that looks at emotions and eating. It also has a food diary with nutritional

analysis and lots of other goodies. Fees are like $4 a month.

Yes, you're right, absolutely, Elaine, i know what to eat; it's the

doing of it. i got off all sugar, white flour and alcohol for a few

years and did much better. i did it on:

www.radiantrecovery.com

which is devoted to sugar addiction.

and those things really are not a problem for me; i hardly ever have

white flour, alcohol or sugar. and i don't eat fruit anymore either;

i used to be very big into fruit but i've lost interest.

with me it's all those yummy supposedly 'healthy' carbs; potads with

the skin, sweet potads, whole grains (soaked, sprouted, fermented).

THOSE are my problem. i also drink a lot of raw milk...maybe lactose

is a problem??? i presume the lactose is atkins-unfriendly.

if i could pay christie to move in with her for five years, to make

it worth her while financially...i think that would be the only way,

at this point.

getting off sugar, alcoholand white flour took me YEARS on that web

site; i kept trying til it finally 'took' using her step plan, which

really works by the way. i was SEVERELY addicted. as many of us are.

i'm afraid it might take me just as long for me and my body to

finally 'get' atkins and stick to it.

But why do you worry about this? I found that all my cravings and obsession

with food went away when I went on Atkins. What if that happened with you

and you were agonizing over this for nothing?
