In reply to: vincentmckie posted an update Last night I watched a show on pbs all about hot dogs…. Since last night, hot dogs have been calling my name…. I was bound and determined to get a hot dog this morning on the way to […] View“Forbidden meat sticks”: that’s what I call them now. Even after a year I still feel their force trying to pull me in…but I look at them as a non healing food…I win the battle over the “forbidden meat sticks.” Congrats on your win and the success with lower blood sugars!

In reply to: Martha Cichelli posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes I’m reading the Blood Sugar Solution book and I’ve ordered the cookbook. Can anyone tell me about their successes or problems with this approach? ViewWelcome Martha. I’ve been following the Advanced plan for almost one full year. My primary reason for following the BBS was for weight loss, to reduce my blood presssure and the ever growing fear of becoming diabetic. Since beginning I have lost a total of 51 lbs. My doctor has taken me off of all blood pressure meds and I feel wonderful. …[Read more]

Weight & Obesity 4 months, 2 weeks agoIn two days I’ll be marking nine months of following BSS. In the past nine months I’ve not had one migraine, my energy level is highest it’s been in years, I have been able to stop all blood pressure meds and have lost 45 pounds. My doctor is very supportive and still can’t believe I gave up caffeine, she swears she could never do without…[Read more]

Hi Cambria – good to hear that you are doing so well. Wow 45 lbs lost in 9 months. That is so great! Making exercise a permanent part of each day is difficult for all of us. I have come to the conclusion that the only way that I can consistently meet my exercise goals is to make schedule it in on my calendar each day and to make it just as…[Read more]

Congratulations, Cambria! That’s wonderful news. I look forward to getting off all my meds as well. My goal is to make it happen this year. To that end, I’m going to ramp up my exercise regimen. You’re right, this is a great site to get inspired, motivated and to share with others going through the same journey.

To me weight loss is a side benefit, my health is what I really wanted to fix. I don’t miss caffeine at all, without it I sleep better and have more energy.

I was […] ViewI experienced something similar to this in the beginning. (I began the advanced BSS in April) I went to my personal doctor and she checked me to make sure she found nothing wrong and suggested that my hormones were readjusting to all the changes my body was going through. I used to have extreme PMS and weight gain each month, but now I don’t see…[Read more]

In reply to: Elizabeth posted an update in the group Diet & Nutrition Hello again. Hope those of you in Sandy’s path are okay and getting the help and support you need. I was wondering what folks eat for breakfast. I am […] ViewMy favorite breakfast food is Turkey Chili with Red Beans. I’m out the door at 5:30am so I don’t have much time to cook, chili is a fast micro dish. Then I snack on some veggies once I get to work to balance out my protien/carbs. If you’ve not added beans or have an issue with them, the chili is still wonderful without. The receipe is in…[Read more]

Recipes 7 months, 2 weeks agoHas anyone found or use any programs or apps to calculate nutrition facts for recipes? I’m not a slave to calorie counting, but there are times when I modify or make up something new I just want to know.

hi Cambria, If you are cooking several servings at once, you can go through the tedium of calculating calories for the entire dish, then divide the total by the number of servings you use. Then you can keep the figures for future reference.
If you are loosing weight on this plan you can just go with the flow. If you are not loosing weight on the…[Read more] -
Cambria,
For many years, my husband and I have used some computer software called DietPower. It has to be purchased, but it will combine ingredients into a recipe and then allow the information from that to be entered as a part of the daily food intake. Is this what you are talking about?
As of several years ago, I no longer use DietPower…[Read more]-

Hello Cambria,
Getting on kind of late here, but I’ve found these two websites to be of great value for my husband. Mike’e Calorie & Fat Gram Chart at http://www.caloriecountercharts.com/chart1a.htm and the other is: http://whatscookingamerica.net/NutritionalChart.htm. I hope these help along with the other info you’ve received.

Wonderful Cambria, Staying on the plan will ensure that you never see that weight again. You will have a lot of fun dressing up for the holidays!!
Many Blessings to you, Margaret-
Dressing up for the holidays…mmmmm….now that is something to look forward to for all of us healthier and skinnier ladies. Let’s see…6-8 lbs a month , about 3 months away I could be somewhere between 137 and 143 by then if I continue to loose at my current rate of loss. Definitely will be time for a new outfit!

In the beginning I did a few times just to see if I was maybe not eating enough. But so long as I keep my protein or main dish portioned to its serving size then as much veggies as I want for that meal I’ve had no problem over or under eating.
