Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Rye is very good. When they refine wheat to change it from whole wheat to white, they take out much of the nutrition; they then add vitamins and minerals back to make it " enriched white " , but they can never duplicate what was there naturally. Also, the refining process takes out the fiber. As fiber is not absorbed by the bloodstream but passes on through the digestive system, it does not raise the BS the way other carbohydrates do. Rye has even more fiber than whole wheat, especially if you get the Jewish style rye with caraway seeds. (There is a chemical in caraway seeds that inhibits the formation of intestinal gas; that is why one traditionally cooks cabbage with caraway seeds.)

I am shooting for 145 and being happy.. I decided on the diet just a couple of weeks ago, I had bought a pair of panty hose and was trying to get into them at work in one of the dressing rooms, and because of the belly I had a time of it, and almost fell off the chair, I decided then it was time... I've added the 95 pounds of extra me over the course of 11 years...so I am not going to sweat about getting this off in a hurry...I just want to get it off, promised myself a new wardrobe when I can get into a size 14 and not look like I had to use pam and a shoe horn..

Hi, I don't believe that White Bread is considered harmful, it is just that it contains a lot of carbs, if you figure in the carbs into your meal count, then you can get by with having that sandwich, I have never paid attention to the carb count on rye, will have to check it out...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 I once went to a policeman friend of mine and asked him to scan a photograph of me into his computer; he had a program that would alter photographs-- " What would he look like with a beard? What would she look like with a different hairstyle? This picture was taken 20 years ago; what does he look like now? " ---and I asked him to show me what I would look like if I were at the 'ideal' weight for my height according to the tables. The results made me look as though I had been in a concentration camp, or through chemotherapy, or like a terminal AIDS patient. Did you know that according to the tables Cloony, Tom Cruise, Russel Crowe, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone are all considered 'obese'?

I am not my " ideal " weight per the weight chart, I go more off the idea of " am I in shape " and " do my clothes fit right " . I think people need to go more off the mirror and less of the scale.
