I remember being anxious because no matter how hard I tried to eat a healthy diet and exercise more, I couldn't stop a creeping weight gain. Reading about the experience of others who lost 50 lbs after they switch on a diet soda from a regular one and started to walk around a block used to make me feel frustrated. I didn't drink that damn soda to begin with! I suspect the key to some successes is to be a couch potato for a while.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-5230300017745838862014-06-29T14:15:21.551-05:002014-06-29T14:15:21.551-05:00Yes--carbs from vegetables disappear upon eating t...Yes--carbs from vegetables disappear upon eating them. So do carbs from liquid (drink all the coffee-flavored milkshakes from Starbucks you want), and the glucose formed from good carbs like fruit, sweet potatoes, honey, dark chocolate, and now white potatoes won't rot your teeth, raise your blood sugar, make you fat or give you reactive hypoglycemia.

Kidding aside, I told my best friend for three years that she should try a wheat-free diet for her rheumatoid arthritis. No, no, she was sure it wasn't that. So she spent a bundle on doctors, spent an hour a day doing exercise, then one day tried a wheat-free diet...on the advice of a holistic doctor. In three days, her RA improved. Three years of time, money and misery so she could eat wheat.<br /><br />It's tempting to evangelize when you've had a major transformation, but most people don't want to hear it. I'll mention it if it comes up, but if the person doesn't seem interested, I drop it.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-90474100253794079082014-06-29T12:59:29.815-05:002014-06-29T12:59:29.815-05:00I'm sorry but I have to vent too. People who ...I'm sorry but I have to vent too. People who need help the most are the dumbest. When you try to explain that it might be the way they are eating, they look you in the eye and ask you if you have a pill they can take and make everything better. AHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!! America has finally done it! We've bread the perfect consumer. Buy all this shit that kills me and then sell me the fuckin antidote pill to pop so I can carry on my bullshit life. I'd rather be cut with a scalpel than not have fucking white bread and pasta. I'm sorry about the language but I can't take it anymore. I feel like I have all the answers to eliminate people's suffering and they just don't want to hear it. Modern medicine has taught everyone that you can eat what you want, just take this pill and it'll be o.k. I'm sick of it.Rick Gladneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729863349450538114noreply@blogger.com
