No opportunity to exercise. Has all this relative inactivity slowed her weight loss? Not at all. If anything it seems to be helping. Maybe the stress from overwork and overexercise is not that slimming after all.Puddleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953398103675945541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-27569770880495118142013-03-29T16:44:58.178-05:002013-03-29T16:44:58.178-05:00I'll have to try that - sounds delicious!

In agreement with Nigel’s recent series titled “Everyone is Different” http://nigeepoo.blogspot.co.uk/ – I’m definitely not the average +/- standard deviation. As individuals, we exhibit individual responses; blanket recommendations are usually bollixed in one way or another imho.<br />all best,<br />Bill<br />Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022558754270362782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-60603553744762815032013-03-25T18:45:06.760-05:002013-03-25T18:45:06.760-05:00Sounds like you and your body have a good understa...Sounds like you and your body have a good understanding! :-).

What works for the much younger, much healthier, much earlier in life low-carbing Diet Doctor who hasn't completely wrecked his body by eating the recommended SAD diet for 60 plus years, DOES not work for me. This is just an example as I do love Dr. Andreas, but he's also male, so that gives him an extra advantage. Plus I've got another 30 plus years of toxic living that I need to get over. Stress levels have gone down immensely since becoming financially more stable (getting rid of the kid about 10 years ago and paying off my debt) and only two years from enjoying retirement. Getting my exercise in isn't a real consideration for me either. I walk when the streets are dry and not covered in ice. When my parents were young and slim, there was no such thing as a gym anywhere in the city. No one needed them. If anyone put on a few pounds after the holiday they just cut back on their bread and potatoes for a few weeks.horfilmaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985242055432277616noreply@blogger.com
