Re: CHF & Weight Gain 2nd Phase

[Guest guest]

I'll try to do that but my husband will kill me because of all the

fruit and stuff we bought. He doesn't want it to go to waste. I

guess I can do phase 2 without the fruit except once a week or so.

I'm going to try the no snacking on nuts for a couple of days first

and see how that goes first. Because that might be it. This is my

first time gaining weight on this diet and I don't want to reverse

everything that I lost. I want to be at my goal weight by June or at

least close to it. I might even just have a bowl of cereal. I don't

know what to do I'll figure out if I'm still gaining in a couple of

days. I might even just try another diet. I know it's about a way of

healthy eating but I need to lose this weight. I'm just so

frustrated. I am going to start exercising tonight to

Sweatin to the Oldies 3.

Here is what the Dr A said in a recent chat

Dr. Agatston:

I would suggest beginning Phase 2 and slowly adding

back low-glycemic index fruits, such as apples,

grapefruits, and berries. This adds a lot of natural

vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients, which are

important for your long-term health and your success

at maintaining weight loss.

I say

So enjoy a fruit serving or two a day.. not the entire

list of foods on Phase 2 yet.. You need to add new

foods in slowly.. so wait a few weeks before adding a

second Phase 2 food..

There is no hurry for adding a host of new foods all

in a week or two.. Take Your Time

Nope it's not TOTM. I'll just see what happens in the next couple

days. I'm calm now and not worried. If I gained a couple of pounds

that's alright I'll lose it again. The fresh spinach that we get

here is 10 grams of carbs. It's the only spinach around here except

frozen which is nasty. That's why I don't eat it but spinach isn't

that great.

I don't bring back everything on the allowed list. I think people

are misunderstanding me. I'm eating on the meal plan for day 1, day

2, day 3, day 4 that kind of thing. So it doesn't demand everything

back at once. This is how Dr. A recommends.

I'll just try to be patient. Patience is not my speciality. I've

been frustrated since day 1 more now because this is my first time

gaining in 32 days. My mom is on this diet as well so I can't quit

because I'll never hear the end of it. So I will lose this weight.

44 more pounds to go. I know I can do it. How long do you recommend

I stay on the tape before I move on to a different

one? I only have 1 and I can't find anymore at any store. I might

have to visit ebay.

> Losing weight is not going to be easy, it never is. And if you

lose it too fast, it will just come right back on. If you get too

frustrated, then you will give up and not lose at all. This is

something that takes patients. You ARE going to gain and then lose

and then gain again, and then lose. Specially the closer you get to

goal. Your weight fluctuates from day to day, week to week, and hour

to hour. I was plateaued for 6 months and I have a LOT more to lose

than you, but I stuck with it and started to lose again.

>

> The exercise will definately help. I can't lose without at all

without it. I have 18 of 's videos. I really like his toning

tapes and they have made a big difference in my figure. Try to do

more than one kind of exercise cuz your body gets used to doing the

same thing.

>

> If you are already frustrated, you will almost be guarenteed to

give up eventually. This is really is about your health. Losing

weight needs a lot of patients cuz you WILL start losing very

slowly, and you WILL gain sometimes regardless of what you do. Carol

What I'm confused about is if it's not a low carb diet then why is it

so much like Atkins which is low carb? What kind of a diet is it?

> You still shouldn't be looking at carbs. You still need to look at

nutrition. If you wanted a low carb diet, this one isn't it. Besides

if you stick with low carbs, the minute you add them back, the weight

comes back. You have to not only do what will help you lose and get

healthy, but also what you can do for the rest of your life. This IS a

lifetime commitment. Carol

Thank you for all those fabulous ideas. I went to freecycle to ask

for an exercise bike so hopefully somebody responds. Do you know

what freecycle is? I believe it's in every area. It's a yahoo group

and you can get rid of stuff and get stuff for free. It's awesome.

> Also try amazon. I got some for like a dollar. His " No If Ands or

Butts " tape is great, 23 minutes of working your rear end, and

his " Ab Formula " tape is great, easy, but affective, 23 minutes of

working your abs. Blast and Tone is a good all over body workout

that uses hand weights. I use 3 and 5 pound ones. For his " dance "

tapes, I like the Blast Off tapes, Broadway Blast Off being my

favorite, and Broadway Sweat is good. But it's all up to the person.

Everyone likes something different. In amazon, just do a search for

.

One mile walk is 15 minutes. You walk in place, do side steps,

kicks, knee lifts and use light weights at the same time to work

your upper body.

so you can do a different one every day. Your body likes it. Carol

Thank you for all those fabulous ideas. I went to freecycle to ask

for an exercise bike so hopefully somebody responds. Do you know

what freecycle is? I believe it's in every area. It's a yahoo group

and you can get rid of stuff and get stuff for free. It's awesome.

> Also try amazon. I got some for like a dollar. His " No If Ands or

Butts " tape is great, 23 minutes of working your rear end, and

his " Ab Formula " tape is great, easy, but affective, 23 minutes of

working your abs. Blast and Tone is a good all over body workout

that uses hand weights. I use 3 and 5 pound ones. For his " dance "

tapes, I like the Blast Off tapes, Broadway Blast Off being my

favorite, and Broadway Sweat is good. But it's all up to the person.

Everyone likes something different. In amazon, just do a search for

.

One mile walk is 15 minutes. You walk in place, do side steps,

kicks, knee lifts and use light weights at the same time to work

your upper body.

so you can do a different one every day. Your body likes it. Carol

I found Atkins quite different in that you can eat fat, fat, and more

fat. Heavy whipping cream. Full fat cheese. Pork rinds. Fatty meats.

Yet healthy complex carbs are severely restricted. Atkins limits you

to about 20 carbs a day on induction. Then, you can gradually

increase. But, you still can't eat anywhere near as much as on SBD.

Yes, brown rice is on SBD phase 2, as are sweet potatoes, oatmeal, oat

bran, whole grain bread, whole grain pasta.
