Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 > What eating plans do you ladies follow? Well, I'm constantly in a state of flux, switching from one plan to another as my appetite changes, and for the past 2 weeks had been eating real foods with portion control using ' FoodMover. Not only have I *gained* another pound, but my blood pressure is going out of control (180/100 last night!) from eating salty foods. Can I help it if my favorite meats are of the smoked variety? Right now, even the lower salt bouillion and broths are affecting me, so it's time for a change again. I'm back on the McDougall Plan (http://www.fatfree.com/diets/mcdougall.html), following mostly the Maximum Weight Loss Plan (http://members.tripod.com/~susang2/mwlp.htm) . The plan is a very low fat vegetarian, no dairy or eggs, with whole grains as opposed to processed (brown rice, whole wheat) and the MWLP version eliminates all soy, nut, and flour products, as well as some other small differences. This is the plan I had lost almost 50 pounds on then plateued, then got frustrated at the lack of further weight loss and then wandered off of. I go back on it now and then when *other* plans don't work, then get the urge for an off-plan food, usually cheese, and go off it again, gaining back even more weight. I was headed back to it yesterday morning, anyway, but the salt & blood pressure thing *really* scared me now, so it's back on 100% - for health this time instead of weight loss as the main goal. >I do not follow any of the low-carb plans in particular, they are just too restrictive. Many low carb plans are unhealthy amd too restrictive. Others, like Sugar Busters, are well balanced but high in fat. If you're perfectly healthy and have a hearty appetite for good old American cooking, the best plan for weight loss is a plan like 's or Weight Watcher's, an exchange plan. You get to eat a little of everything, including things like candy and cake. The problem is, you have to watch those portions and pay very close attention to the amount of foods you eat. If you're allowed 4 fruits and 4 fats in one day, do you really want to give up 2 of each for some chocolate? It's just a matter of choosing a plan you can live with, what sacrifices you're willing to take. Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also never believed limited any one food group was healthy but since this is working for me, I am sticking with it. I am very envious of those of you who can lose weight with foodmovers or weight watchers because I like the idea of them but I never could get them to work for me even when I follow them exactly. for some reason my email is not cooperating and I am not getting the group mail. Hopefully it will work itself out. Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a thing. It took me over 4 weeks to start getting mail from one list, 3 weeks to *stop* getting mail from another. They say that some of their servers are so busy it's taking anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks (or more) for new members of various groups to get their mail flowing, even though they may have received a Welcome letter to the group and have full web access. I know it's a pain reading email from the web site (those ads drive me crazy) but hang in there - it *will* resolve itself.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Marty, If you found what works best for you, that is great and that's all that counts. Please believe me when I say that I mean that with not a single ounce of sarcasm. After all that is THE MOST IMPOTRTANT ISSUE HERE, ISN'T IT? I would like, before I personally, sign off from this specific discussion to point to a web site that to me seemed to be quite objective on this matter: www.ifst.org/hottop34.html. I found it to be quite interesting and unbiased. Anyway, I would like to ask if any of you have had any experience with Bio Pro Thymic Protein A to help in the fight against cancer? Lastly, I agree with Marty that we need kindness instead of hostility in this group. We should understand that no one can claim they have exclusivity on truth. We are here to help each other, learn from each other and not to bicker and create bad feelings. Respectful disagreements are O.K insults is another matter.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Gubisara, Yes I agree, dairy or soy, too much or too little protein, antioxidants or not during treatment . . . . to have treatment or not etc etc, ultimately we are left to find what works best for us individually. As if cancer isn't enough, we are left to find our way through a maze of opinions. I remember at the cancer clinic shortly after my diagnosis a nurse said, " you are going to have to find what works for you " . My whole being shuttered in that moment, what did she mean? I felt real fear not as much for the cancer but that I was going to have to take the right steps, not knowing what they should be, about a disease that I knew nothing about and the implication of these decisions could be life or death. Where were the experts to guide me through this, I am not qualified in anyway to make these decisions? They were everywhere, with an opinion often directly contradictory of each other. So as you say Gubisara and that nurse said that day, " you are going to have to find what works best for you " . I pray that anyone going through his or her battle with cancer have as much peace as possible during the process of making these difficult decisions; you are going to have to find what works best, what makes the most sense to you. I wish you success! I'll check out the site, no I haven't had any experience with Bio Pro Thymic Protein A. [ ] Starting fresh Marty, If you found what works best for you, that is great and that's all that counts. Please believe me when I say that I mean that with not a single ounce of sarcasm.
