(2008-09-30) NS-RFC: Going on a diet

Cheryl wrote:

I need to ask my doctor about seeing a nutritionist. I don't see why he
can't recommend one to me. I'll be seeing him soon anyway because I'm
getting another CT scan shortly, and more blood work done. When I go back
to the Dr. for the results of my tests in a week, I'll ask about a
nutritionist. (I've got to write that down or I'll forget when I get there,
you know?) The blood work I'm having done, actually, is specifically for my
diet to find out where my levels are at and what other vitamins or
supplements I need to include in case I'm lacking somewhere.

I can eat "white" fish like pollock, cod, haddock, and whiting. I'd add
catfish and tilapia to the list, but they taste like dirt to me. No thanks!
I'll probably bake some pollock tonight, in fact. (Reminder to self, take
fish out of freezer!) For breakfast today, I'm going to attempt some black
beans we cooked on the smoker yesterday and see how those go. The beans
smell mouth-watering fabulous from the mesquite and cherry wood smoke! I
wish I had enought to share with you, because, really, they smell
incredible. :~)

Can you find Keffir milk in a standard grocery store? If so, I'll look for
it. Hmm, why don't I google it?

Thanks, Dave!

Much better thanks... my weight never used to be a problem, but as it
crept up after I got married, my poor joints started to suffer and it
got hard to just do the laundry or lug the groceries upstairs. Plus I
was running out of clothes sizes! So eventually I decided that I had
to do something because I didn't want to end up at 300+ lbs before I
was 40. So I started using a website called Calorie Count (which is
really great). When almost everything you eat daily is listed right
there in the database you don't have any excuses for not logging it!
The other big change was I started exercising... I've always hated
exercise, but again, I didn't want to end up disabled so I had to do
it. And it wasn't nearly as ardous or difficult as I thought it would
be. Sure it was uncomfortable for the first month while my body got
used to the shock of being asked to actually carry me around outside,
but it's good to push yourself and do things you didn't think you
could manage... All I really needed were the right tools.

Coconut is a true nut, the largest.
Olives come to mind as being high in fat while non-animal and non-nut.
Also, if you don't have to eat the whole food, many plant foods provide
oil. Off the top of my head, there's corn oil, soy oil (usually sold as
vegetable oil in the stores), peanut oil (not a true nut but usually
categorized with them because people who are allergic to one tend to be
allergic to the other), safflower oil, canola oil, etc.

Thanks. I'd like to lose another 20 pounds to get down to 'overweight'
(I'll never be thin and I don't care), but it's slowed down a LOT once
I got close to 200... I think my body's getting down to its
'comfortable' weight. Still, I've already achieved my original goal of
200 pounds, which seemed so impossibly far away that I'd never achieve
it, and it wasn't really hard at all, just slow.

The right tools and knowing how to use them are usually all we ever need to
succeed at a task. I'm glad you found the right tools for you, and that it's
working for you.

The right tools for me came from Weight Watcher's, and it works for me. I
know it doesn't necessarily work for everyone. I needed to be accountable to
someone other than myself to achieve my goal. Still working at it, but it's
working.

They started carrying it in one of our local grocery stores a few years
ago and most of the stores in that chain in this area also carry it. I
found it in the grocery store in our little town two weeks ago. Some
stores will order stuff in if you ask for it. I would suggest a health
food store but none of the local health food stores have it and several
had no idea what it is.

I don't understand why it is not more popular. It's good stuff (if not
fermented to the point of being really, really sour, and it is so good
for you.

You're to be congratulated! As losses slow it can be discouraging. It's
good to see that you're dealing well with it.

Some things have got to be believed to
be seen.
 
I am on constant watch. If I indulge one day, I make sure I balance
it off with low cal meals and extra exercise the next. My size is the
same for the last 40 years and I attribute it to:

gym 4-5 times a week
shop the periphery
avoid junk
no snacking tween meals
low fat diet
no convenience foods
rarely eat desserts
high metabolic rate

Do you have a citation for that? And for "works", I'd like to see an
actual study that shows they kept the weight off for more than a year.
Thanks!

I don't think Arri's statement above is worded in such a
way to be bullet-proof from criticisms, but studies by Linda Bacon
proved approximately this. The study interval was only two
years though, not the five-year span preferred by most researchers.
Study participants who made only very slight changes in diet
and lifestyle were judged as having an "improved" outcome
relative to controls. ("Improved" did not mean simply weight.)

Bacon, along with Weight Watchers and a slew of others, are in
the "but it's not a diet" camp.

I will probably not live as long as you will, but that would be a rather
depressing way for me to live. :-)

Which is one reason it was not my first choice.
I'm also not fond of it's nutritional breakdown, but that's just me.

When I go on a shake kick, I use Isopure.
