Re: CHF & Weight Gain 2nd Phase

Fresh spinach is only 1 gram of carb. I have looked in more than one

source. Fitday and the USDA food database both say 1 gram. I cup of

cooked spinach is 8 gram carb. I have a hard time believing spinach

grown in your area is higher than everyone elses. I agree with you I

think frozen spinach is nasty, but I think almost all veggies frozen

are. Fresh spinach is a wonderful choice, the dark green leafy veggies

have many more vitamins and other good stuff for us. Spinach is also a

good source of calcuim.

you need to stop weighing yourself. I used to be obsesive with

the scale and I can tell you that my weight varied 5 lbs within the

same day. I used to get up and weigh myself in the nude first thing.

Then I brushed my teeth, took a shower, my vitamins and weighed again

before dressing and I might be up 2 lbs. That's within maybe an hour.

If I had a BM in that time period I might have been the same. There

are so many things that can influence the number on the scale that you

really only need to focus on an overall trend of one weight per week

over several weeks.

You are one of my idols. Any diet you follow you will be able to lose

weight if you follow it. Losing is hard but maintaining is where you

are really tested. You hit a very long plataue but you never gave up

and just kept going. A lot of people would have given up gained some

or all weight back and just looked for another diet. In the time you

weren't losing you were gaining something very valuable. The ability

to eat in a way that is healthy for you. In my opinion you have done

something pretty incredible.

Carol is right

A very low carb diet is just very de-hydrating and you really lose a

lot of water weight. The very low carb diet is also just really to low

in calories and is very un-healthy for long term and not sustainable

for the rest of your life.

Stop eating nuts. I know they are allowed but many people can not eat

them and lose weight. Like you they eat to many. Some people are able

to but if you are eating to many then you really need to limit them.

What is happening in June that is so ultra important to lose all this weight. I seriously doubt you will lose 44 more pounds in another month. June is only 36 days away.

Thank you for that advice. I appreciate it.

> Also make sure you are eating enough. If you let your body get too

low in calories, your body will think it is starving and it will hold

onto every fat cell and won't let them go (starvation mode). You

shouldn't ever go below 1200 calories. Carol

I can take a picture of the spinach package if you want and upload

it and put it in the photos folder if you want or just send it to

you directly. It's crazy but that's what it says.

---,

U. S. D. A. " THE " last word on nutrition component. If you have

any questions about whats in your food, please use that site. I gave

you the URL, did you save it? Its foolish to argue over spinach. Its a

wonderful substance for your body. If you were on a desserted island,

pray there was spinach there. Its THAT good. If you don't care for it,

hide it in other dishes, like the confetti chicken. You don't notice

it mixed w/ the other flavors but still get the benefits. Only starchy

veggies are things to be concerned about.

--- , I hate to rain on your parade with shorts weather coming,

but that cannot happen. 44 pounds can NOT be lost in 4 weeks or 6

weeks or 8 week or...on and on and on.

Its not fair to your body to set yourself up for that type of

dissapointment. 1/2 to 2 pounds a wk is all the FAT @3500 CALORIES PER

POUND, your body can burn, it just can't happen any faster without

using muscle tissue.

Any time you see on TV that the 'contestants' have lost alot of

weight is when they spend SEVERAL hours a day in a gym, working out w/

professional trainers that work them to within an inch of their lives,

they are fed strict diets made for them by Dietitians, and are under a

doctors supervision at all times. Then its NEVER the girls who lose

that drastically, we are just not genetically made to drop that kind

of weight, baby carrying creatures that we are. Our hormones will not

allow it.

Please try to get into the 'slow and steady wins the race'

mindset that we all try to adopt as healthy.

Hi ...

Depending on your size your could possibly drop 5 or 6

pounds a week... But to drop 44 pounds in 36 is way to

much.. and I highly doubt that is possible.

I have personally seen people drop 5-6 pounds a week

consistantly for many months until nearing their goal

weight.. but once you get close the rate of loss does

slow down some.

I think 20 pounds in a month is more realistic but you

would have to eat only certain foods to do it.. and a

lot of this will depend on what your weight is

presently..

I would not like to see someone that has a starting

weight of " under " 200 pounds drop this fast..
