January 30, 2008 at 10:25 am Back in the Stone Age when times were goodSo there we are, huddling round the dining table with our portions looking larger because they’re on small plates. We’ve also started to look out for sugar in our diet. And our will is strengthening because, so far, we haven’t really challenged ourselves. We’ve started to take our phentermine, Acomplia or Meridia. We’re slowly reducing our sugar intake. It’s the first plateau. Plateau? I hear you mutter. As you climb a hill, there’s steady effort to move your weight up the incline. But, once the routine is established, you fall into the rhythm and it grows easier. Well, it actually becomes so easy after a while that it’s like you’re walking on the flat again. And your body goes into a steady state, neither gaining nor losing weight. There was that initial slight loss when you started, but then your weight stabilized at the slightly lower level. |

January 29, 2008 at 8:30 am The “Cut down on sugar” RuleSo picture the scene if you can. We’re now all sitting round the dining table — we’re old-fashioned and prefer to sit down at a table and talk to each other while we’re eating. None of these TV dinners where you balance a tray on your knees and chase peas round the plate with a fork. We’ve all got our smaller plates so we can keep a better informed eye on how much we’re eating and wondering what to do next. So, I’m holding forth, telling you what to do. |

January 28, 2008 at 8:00 am Switch to smaller platesWell, hi there, gang! I hope you’re all eating less and shedding those pounds — if you’re like me and combining Phentermine, Acomplia or Meridia with healthy diets and exercise, it should all be working out nicely. |

January 23, 2008 at 6:46 am That first stepI’m just going to catch up with the story in my head before I go on with the new. I’ve had my road to Damascus moment, talked it through with my doctor and, now with the help of my family friends, I’ve made the start on losing those pounds. |

October 18, 2007 at 11:00 pm How to Keep Your Diet When You Don’t Eat InIt isn’t a surprise to find out that your “oh so favorite” plate of food is, “oh so fattening”. Let’s face it, when chefs are putting together their menu, they’re thinking taste not calories. And why is it that the more calories a meal has, the more delicious it seems to be (i.e. Cheesecake, anyone)? No one is thinking of the weight conscious when they’re putting that on the menu. The truth is, eating out isn’t at all simple when you’re on a weight loss diet. There are some weight conscious and healthy menus out there, however, even if they really aren’t the norm. So it is still possible to regularly go out for a bite without having to completely break your diet and the amount of calories you’re allowed. |

October 16, 2007 at 8:05 pm A dietitian’s approach towards fast weight-loss programsWeight Loss Quickies When trying to lose weight, it is normal for typical programs to set goals of weight loss between 1 and 2 pounds per week (~ ½ to 1 kg ). This may not seem like a lot but this type of weight loss actually helps keep the weight off on a more permanent basis. These types of programs help the body maintain a proper metabolism and retain necessary muscle mass. |
