General Discussion / Re: I've noticed my weight-loss has come to a screaching hault?
« on: September 12, 2010, 12:40:02 PM »
Hi SherriPie,

I don't know if drinking lots of water will help much with loose skin and/or flab AFTER you lose weight.

All I know is that my doctor told me that drinking lots of water (8 to 10+ glasses per day) DURING weight loss will help prevent them from occurring.  He also said that drinking lots of water will speed up weight loss, keep the skin more supple (help prevent dry skin), as well as prevent a host of other health problems caused by mild dehydration.

BTW, he made it clear that he was referring to PLAIN water.
Not flavored H2O, coffee, tea, soda pop, etc..

Hope this helps!

Don't worry about it!!!
Your weight did not ALL come upon you quickly.
So to, it will not all leave you quickly.
This is normal and IT WILL PASS if you continue to be faithful to the FTS lifestyle and consume less than 20 net carbs per day.
 
I have had a few "stalls" (i.e. plateaus) myself.
In fact the last couple of weeks have been more stalls than loss.
After my first two weeks, I lost 11 pounds easy peasy.
Then the loss rate slowed WAY down with a series of stalls with a few pounds weight loss in between.
 
Often during a stall, our bodies are simply readjusting themselves to our new weight partly by losing inches.
Right after each of my stalls, I measure myself and find that I've lost an inch or so here and there.
 
However, if you want to "jolt" your body out of a stall, try what Doug suggests (for example, reduce/eliminate sugar alcohols, eat more green veggies, drink plenty of water, exercise more, etc.) and your weight loss should soon resume.
 
BTW, always drink AT LEAST 8-10 eight ounce glasses of PLAIN WATER every day! It will help you stay healthy, help your weight loss along, and help prevent flabby and/or "loose skin" after significant weight loss.

When I was detoxing from sugar, I had persistent nausea and general bowel discomfort for several days 24/7.

My wife bought me some CarbSmart Yogurt (3 net carbs per container).
After eating it, I felt soooooo much better almost right away and have not had any nausea or other discomfort since! I do eat one container of it 3-4 times a week.

She bought it at out local Fred Meyer store (may be called Kroger in your area).
Your local grocer may carry their own (or other) brand of low-carb yogurt.

Too late for me!... :'(

Already ordered 3 jars which came to $13.08. Nine jars would have done the trick.

« on: September 07, 2010, 03:17:41 PM »
Hi Umpa!

I found the recipe below online and thought it would be good EXCEPT for the milk and "fish breading".
It should work for any white-flesh fish as well as chicken.

Could you come up with and FTS version for me please?

Thanks!!!

General Questions / Re: losing too fast
« on: September 06, 2010, 02:37:10 PM »
I too have over 100 lbs. to lose and have had the same concerns.

When I was at my doctor's a few weeks back, he reminded my to keep DRINKING LOTS OF WATER (8+ glass per day) in order to achieve optimal weight loss and to maintain my skin's elasticity during weight loss. Coffee, tea, milk, soda pop, and other drinks DO NOT count.
Drinking enough water should eliminate the possibility of having loose flab after losing weight.

He said the vast majority of people are at least mildly dehydrated every day!
Dehydration is VERY bad for our bodies in many ways.
Proper hydration allows our bodies to effectively flush out toxins and carry out other functions necessary for our health.

After having a bout with kidney stones 12 years ago, I have been drinking between 8 - 12 tall glasses of water each day. Since then, not one more kidney stone problem! I also have not experienced any problems with dry skin.

That's absolutely fantastic!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's so inspiring to see someone get a new lease on life!

It's wonderful to see miracles happen after removing sugar from a diet.
For those of us that have insulin/sugar sensitivity issues, it can mean life over death.

May God continue to bless the two of you!!!

I like your competitive spirit, Gary!
But remember, we're not teenagers anymore.

Be careful out there and don't blow out a knee!!!
Knees are far more fragile at 48 than at 21.
Knee injuries have put down more football and basketball players than I can remember.

I want to hear about you putting those young snots to shame for years to come! :)

Wow that's cool Gary!

Basketball is a high power-output game.
Playing it for two hours against 20 year olds before getting winded is quite an accomplishment at 48. 8)

Endurance (with quick cardio recovery) takes time to build.
But if you follow Doug's advice, in a few months those 20 year olds will fall out before you do!

Peace!
Tony

Hi Umpa,

This looks yummy but there are two ingredients that aren't very clear in the "chocolate chip" recipe;

2 squares
1/4 xylitol

Thanks!
