Guest FourAces Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 So many mixed messages, On one of the morning news shows they were interviewing the founder of a study regarding dieting. His take its better to eat 2 big meals than what is currently the normal for dieting of 6 small meals. Then he went on to clarify, that the study results were only for overweight people who have type 2 diabetes. The interviewer then asks so if you are overweight and have type 2 diabetes and want to lose weight your best bet is to eat 2 big meals instead of 6 small ones? The researcher's answer was a quick and solid no, Huh? WTF? She tried to get him to explain further but it just began to sound like a bad train wreck. Quote
Members ihpguy Posted June 25, 2013 Members Posted June 25, 2013 #1)From listening and reading lots and lots of "stuff", I think it really all boils down to what works the best for you. #2)Basically boils down to calorie intake + calories produced by exercise over amount one's body needs for base functions divided by 3555 = pounds lost #3)Nothing is a quick fix. For almost all, fad diets do noyt work, one needs to plan for the long haul, slow and sure. According to the book I am on reading, the FAST Diet by dr. Michael Mosley, 12 hours plus without food daily/nightly on alternate days can be a good thing. Still trying to figure out how I can tailor the nutrition and eating plans for my timetable. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Yes there is so much info on dieting and so much of it really comes down to intake and exercise. I have mentioned before about a decade ago I lost 150 plus pounds. I did it on my own simply by eating less, mostly low fat and walked about 15 minutes each. I am so large now I don't think that will ever be possible again Quote
Members ihpguy Posted June 25, 2013 Members Posted June 25, 2013 Last week on Yahoo there was a survey of current possible food regimes. #1 was The Alkaline Diet which I have been following for about a month for acid reflux problems. Its #1 proponent is Victoria Beckham. I am not sure how effective it is, but if it will get me hubby, David, "to Bend It Like"..., änd let me have his children, then I am a definite convert. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/the-alkaline-diet-vs-the-52-diet-8480617.html Quote
