No-S is definitely a "slow and steady wins the race" kind of plan. We do tend to eat heartier meals in the winter. A lot of the diet advice says that a p...

Re: Feeling discouraged
It seems like when I feel the slightest twinge of hunger I just go crazy! And if I make my meals bigger to compensate for getting hungry, then the scale does not budge at all. This is your problem. You aren't eating enough at meal times. Don't worry about the scale going down just yet. That will co...

My son does P90X. He's lost quite a bit of weight. Of course, he's young and adding muscle and is monitoring what he eats, too. One of my questions about the article is what do they mean by exercise? Cardio? Weight training? Exercise seems to be more valuable for me for weight management than weight...

Most of your training time won't be spent running 13.1 miles. In fact, you will probably do the longer distances just on the weekends or S days. During the week, you will run 3- 6 miles, which can be done in about an hour. If you run more than an hour then a glass of chocolate milk is enough for pos...

I read the book Rubbish! about the garbage study a few years back. One of the findings was that households that frequently ate foods with similar ingredients had less food waste than household that ate meals with a wider variety of ingredients. This has subtly been influencing my cooking. I don't co...

More on exercise vs dieting
This article discusses why exercise alone doesn't really do the job alone regarding weight loss. As you lose weight, your metabolism slows a little thereby slowing your weight loss. It's not hopeless. One of the researchers, in fact, lost 70lbs and yes, she took a daily walk. The article says she to...

I admit I have a really strict interpretation of eating between meals. I am also just as casual about compliance. I don't think it's possible or even desirable to never, ever, EVER nibble between meals. So, I'm ok saying "Eating a fresh picked cherry tomato is eating between meals but it's worth bei...

It's perfectly ok. If milk is ok, then certainly coffee with a bit of half and half is ok. Eventually, if you aren't seeing the weight loss you would like, then I would look at cutting back/out. But don't cut it out until you are ready, even if you think it will give you a nudge. It's not worth the ...

Your Bio
I recently had to write a short introductory bio about myself as I am going to be a speaker at a conference in September. I included all the usual things about my professional qualifications, but bios anymore usually include a touch of the personal with activities and interests. There has been a lot...

Re: Inadvertent snack?
1) Should I have given myself a red light? Technically, yes. 2) If I had forgotten about it, would it make any difference giving myself a green where I deserved a red? To your weight? Probably not. To your habit? Perhaps. Giving yourself a mental pass does not reinforce the strictness that some peo...
