It's cliche, but you literally are what you eat. ...
And this applies to your food as well. For instance,
... I do eat chicken occasionally.
One of the brands we like is Empire Kosher Chicken http://www.empirekosher.com/
quote:
Our chicken and turkeys are raised on a proprietary, fully vegetarian feed blend that gives our products their consistent taste and flavor.
Our birds are free roaming which means they are able to roam freely inside large houses, and they are not kept in cages. As required by organic certification, our organically grown chickens are provided access to the outdoors.
Empire offers a line of organic chicken products. Please check where you buy Empire Kosher products for availability.
Empire Kosher’s chickens are not administered any antibiotics. Empire Kosher’s turkey products that are labeled raised without antibiotics are ABF as well.
This is the best tasting chicken I have tried.
I eat mostly raw vegetable (with olive oil and vinegar) with almonds or beans for protein. ...
I have switched from butter and fake butter to olive oil for taste and health. Instead of buttering corn I pore on a little olive oil. For dipping lobster, steamed muscles and steamer clams (hey we live on the coast) I use olive oil instead of melted butter. Sometimes I add curry or other spices.
I keep a supply of toasted almonds for snacking as well as fresh fruit.
... and work out 5-7 times a week.
Diet without exercise is doomed to failure. We live in a small town and can walk or bicycle everywhere, even to supermarkets (one small local is a block away, another, larger, part of a chain, is a 2 mile bike ride). Biking and walking is part of our lifestyle now.
It is a lifestyle change, not a temporary change.
I credit my change in lifestyle for my continued remission from the cancer, going on 5 years now.
Enjoy

I dunno... I mean, it's just a simple math problem:
If you burn off more than you take in, then you will loose weight.
You can certainly increase what you burn off, but if that remains constant and you instead decrease what you take in, then you will loose weight.
If you don't exercise you will lose muscle mass and it affects your circulation system. The extreme case are bed-ridden people need help standing.

Re: Science & Emotions
I've been operating under ketosis:
Ketosis - Wikipedia
Interesting, thanks:
quote:
Longer-term ketosis may result from fasting or staying on a low-carbohydrate diet (ketogenic diet), and deliberately induced ketosis serves as a medical intervention for various conditions, such as intractable epilepsy, and the various types of diabetes.[6] In glycolysis, higher levels of insulin promote storage of body fat and block release of fat from adipose tissues, while in ketosis, fat reserves are readily released and consumed.[5][7] For this reason, ketosis is sometimes referred to as the body's "fat burning" mode.[8]
Sounds good to me.
"Shit, I'm home... time for a walk! Then I get to play on my computer."
I'm an early riser, and I like to bicycle in the morning before brekky. I'm usually home before other/s rise.
Changing your diet should help with your mental health. Exercise too.
Exercise releases endorphins, nature's natural "feel good" medicine ... and one of the best ways to fight depression is to feel good.
... whereas now I am getting weak at age 57 and am mildly depressed...
Seriously, the diet and exercise has done wonders for my anxiety and depression.
Indeed, and getting out for a walk or bike ride puts you in touch with your neighborhood. I greet people along the bike path, and it serves two purposes -- people I am coming up behind aren't surprised when I pass, and second, people smile and return it, spreading happiness. Do it regular and you will meet regulars.

Re: Day 6-Gathering Information
IIRC the southbeach diet also discussed insulin production and resistance.

Re: Day 6-South Beach vs Rosedale
quote:
... Finally, Phase 1 allows the South Beach dieter to occasionally indulge in sweets, such as jams, jellies, and syrups.
And chocolate ... I gotta have vitamin chocolate ...
I can see the wisdom in moderation, yet I also can see the practical effects of extreme carb deprivation--particularly in regards to Type-II Diabetes.
Yep. I started SBeach when my doctor told me I was "pre-diabetic" and I did not need another long term health problem.
Strength.

Re: Weigh-In Day 8.
I weighed in at 229.7 tonite. Call it 230-235. That's my official starting weight
I use waist girth as a measure of body fat. Weight can go up as you build muscles because they are more dense than fat. This is why concentrating on weight loss can be frustrating ... you can even gain weight while losing fat, and that's a good thing.
I've been walking each break at work ...
Can you park a block away from work to add walking time? You can progressively increase this distance with little effort. My last job I could bicycle along a bikepath to work, both enjoyable and good excercise.
Enjoy
