Weight & Obesity
Public Group active 2 days, 20 hours agoObesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. Body mass index (BMI), a measurement which compares weight and height, defines people as overweight (pre-obese) if their BMI is between 25 and 30 kg/m2, and obese when it is greater than 30 kg/m2. Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness.

Weight & Obesity 4 weeks, 1 day agoHi everyone. I’m now on my fourth week of the Advanced Program and I’ve lost ten pounds and I don’t intend on looking for it anywhere. I teach kindergarten and usually I’d come home after school, take the dog out and fall asleep for one to three hours. However, since I’ve changed the way I am eating I find I’m not as tired as I used to…[Read more]

Lots of people seem to find they’re less tired with this diet. Glad to hear another success story.

Well done on the weight loss, Rissa. None of us know where those ”lost” pounds go, but hopefully they are selling them off to the highest bidder like they do with unclaimed airline luggage. Not that I would like to see anyone else carrying around the 90+ pounds I lost, but better someone else than me!
Keep up the great work!-
Whoa, congratulations on your weight loss! As someone who’s just starting and needs to drop 100, that’s really encouraging!

Rissa, congratulations! That first 10 is so motivating, isn’t it?

good for you Rissa!

Weight & Obesity 1 month, 1 week agoI’m doing really well on the Advanced Plan. I have lost eight pounds in eight days. That really helps the motivation. I feel so much calmer too. I find the program very comfortable to do and don’t feel at all like I’m on a diet. Diets set me into a tail spin and I begin to panic because foods are taken away from me, which only makes me…[Read more]

Rissa – I’m glad things are going so well. I’ve been on the advanced plan for 10+ months now. I’ m feeling great and still losing weight. 8 pounds in 8 days is great! I believe this manner of eating is NOT a diet but a lifestyle choice that I have made . I chose to feel better each day and not eating gluten dairy or oats and watching my…[Read more]

I love your enthusiasm, Rissa! Keep up doing what you are doing in with that great spirit and you will see more great results! Congrats on the minus 8!!!

Weight & Obesity 1 month, 2 weeks agoI went to three stores shopping today and I still forgot to get a few things that were on my list. I’m a little confused. I look at reciepes for the advanced plan and there are some ingredients that you are not supposed to have on this plan. I read that I am to limit beans on the advanced progam, yet the reciepes again list lots of beans. …[Read more]

Welcome Rissa – if you click on your name and then scroll down you will see my downloads . there is a list there of low glycemic vegetables and another list of portion sizes. But I have found for me that the portion size for beans were too high and took my blood sugar too high. But then I am diabetic on insulin. They really can not give exact…[Read more]

Welcome Melanie = Keep us posted on how you are doing. What are your health goals? Are you diabetic? Nicole
Hi, Melanie,
You have come to the right place for the encouragement and support that we all need in reaching our health goals. Welcome!
I’m pre-diabetic and need to lose 100. Weaning off coffee this weekend, so prayers to my husband for putting up with me initially are welcome. Never been much of a “dieter” but with this program, I’m recognizing for the first time that I can’t re-integrate eliminated foods back until I’ve actually lost the weight. That then and only then can…[Read more]
Good luck Melanie!!!! Congratulations on starting your new journey!!
