But you should eat what YOU like. If you're planning to eat these dips with abandon, use non-fat versions of sour cream, cream cheese etc. The recipes posted were VERY high calorie. (Just look at the nutrition label on sour cream. That was the main ingredient in one of the dips. Stirring in a little spinach or lemon isn't going to magically subtract calories. Using fat free or low fat sour cream will...) > > About the calorie counting, I've been on a lot of fast food lately.

I looked up the calories on most Mcs meals. When I end up in a Mcs, I order small portions. Small burger, small fries, 1% milk has fewer calories than a big mac... (And it costs something like $2.19 if you see the All America Meal listed in tiny print on the bottom of the menu.) > today my meal was Chinese take-out: 6 steamed dumplings with that sweet & > spicy sauce they make. On a positive note, I did leave out the Coke. You know what-- I buy frozen steamed dumplings. The calorie and fat content varies-- but it's usually not that high! The lower fat version would give you something like 250 calories with 6 frozen dumplings. The higher fat ones might be 500 calories. Of course... Maybe the restaurant dumplings are BIGGER than the frozen ones.... If you love dumplings, find a Chinese food store. Flip over all the packages and find the lower fat ones (they taste just as good as far as my hubby, brothers in law and I can tell.) Buy a bamboo steamer, and steam them yourself. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare. The sauces are salty-- but low calorie. (You might want to balance the meal by finding something like edame-- fresh soybeans-- or some other vegetable dish. But heck... The dumplings are good.) Anyway, good luck. Lucia > > Desy > http://www.clix.to/desyp > http://www.geocities.com/thepuppourri > -- lucia@...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 << That really worries me. What will I look like at the end. Christel >> Don't worry about it. That only happened to me because I wasn't eating and losing weight very quickly. I think that if you lose it slowly and correctly, your body...along with it's skin will adjust accordingly.

I hate waving goodbye in short sleeves. :/ Well, it is true that you can't spot reduce, and fat can't be " firmed up " through exercise. You can have " hangie-arm-stuff " because of fat, or flabby muscle. The exercise can firm up the muscle. If you have lots of body fat, well, you've got to lose that. Lucia -- lucia@...

I did see an add for two magical " fat patches " in one of my magazines. One patch could be applied to a fatty area you wanted to reduce -- and it would supposedly help you mobilize the fat there. Then, if you dieted and exercised, your body would burn that fat. It's supposed to work on any body part you want-- but they warn that you shouldn't apply it over your whole body all at once. The other patch was designed for your bust. It helped PREVENT your body from mobilizing the fat there.... If you're willing to spend roughly $200 a month for each item, you can experiment away... (Oh-- both are made by the same company....) Uhhhmmmm... I'm saving my money until I read the exciting results published in the Wall Street Journal. After all, if the products DO work, this should affect the companies stock price! The Wall Street Journal DOES cover breakthroughs on fat loss products quite regularly -- because products that work do affect stock price.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Ive been taking xenical for two months and it hasnt done a thing.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2002 Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 Let me take a guess. You were careful of fat, and not eating often throughout the day? Is that how you were eating before starting these? You surely didn't try that horrid atkins diet again? <paces back and forth> Certainly not. If you were already eating like I guessed above, then you were doing all by yourself what those pills are supose to do for you, which = no change of course. Are you eating enough calories? Taking cacium supliments if not drinking milk? Now I can't follow this advice myself, but I can see it big time in my husband - if you like, can tollerate realy hot stuff - eat hot stuff with / on your meals.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 no i would NEVER try the Atkins diet again. that is what got me from 152 to 163. i just eat when i am hungry. about 3 times a day and i eat light but sometimes i eat a little extra stuff like low fat ice cream. i figure about 1300 calories a day. i was not exercising though. still am not exercising. i did it a few times but then i quit. i am bad about not exercising. tina Re: What do you eat?
