its a dramatic difference, not just in size obviously, but youre not out of breath, youre a hell of a lot more limber, you last longer and all those hormones will kind of make you real horny quite alot more. so prepare the woman in your life.

sir, well april is going to be a bit early for you this year. you have to use the honeymoon period to its fullest. you can drink beer, but to do so this soon, is wayy too soon. Can you drink beer eventually? sure. as long as you counter it with exercise. I actually work as a brewer for s commercial brewery and I am heavily involved in the beer culture and scene. You can do it. you just have to be smart about it.

added salt is even higher. why its like asking why does nitrogen occur in the air. Simply put, that's what we WANT. people WANT sugars in their food. plain and simple. If we didn't want it, they wouldn't make it because it wouldn't sell.

Let me say this is other terms. And im not trying to be mean spirited. When someone comes out and says, "hey, i know , and you're being deceived" that's a big red flag for the ultimate in a destructive personality. People like to hold on to some bt of knowledge they think gives them an edge or step up, over people they deem less knowledgeable and lower than them in life. Its a means of an inflated ego and used as a sort of pseudo self confidence. It happens a lot. A very famous I remember reading a paper , ( for the life of me i cannot find the author) a few years back, and it dealt with people who make a huge lifestyle change and then they absorb the change so much they become an "expert" in the change that they themselves could not undertake for such a long time. Its why we have so many people that go through this journey and then become "experts" in weight loss and fitness etc. While they dont really acknowledge the facts of their own failures and faults in the exact field they have grown to become so involved in. I do believe one of the points of the paper had to do with addicts becoming addiction counselors and being shown to have a higher rate of empathy, but a lower rate of success than those who never had addictions. Im sorry but to say anyone is being deceived is a gross misrepresentation of the truth. No one is out there thinking mcdonalds is healthy. Every one of us knew that we were eating badly. We all know about sugar being bad. Anyone who says "i never realized" is lying out their butt. We knew it, we ignored it, we chose our lifestyle, its part of overcoming this. We have to take responsibility for ourselves. Or else this is all just a simple exercise in blame and futility. Seriously look at these forums, you'll find hundreds who say after 2 or 3 months post op, they are munching on 2 or 3 Protein bars a day, regardless of the facts the nutrition information on them shows they are terrible for weight loss. But people so it. All they have to do is read the nutritional info on the label. ANd they just ignore it. Its part of our humanity that we decide to ignore what we want. No doctor who claims we should blame it on some hidden cause and only THEY know the answer, will ever be anything more than a money grubbing danger to people in general. That kind of svengali like cult leader attitude will cause nothing but problems for those who folow. I have a friend who lost a lot of weight, and then proceeded to constantly explain to everyone why they just needed to do this and that, and how the gmos were out to get them etc. End result? That person alienated a whole ton of friends who no longer wish to be a part of this persons life. This is the exact same response you get when someone is taken into a cult.

I have to say several of these "doctors" are so full of crap. Sorry to be blunt, I do believe that sugar is my problem, and i lose as long as i avoid them, but fats play a huge role as well. and i'm sorry but anyone who listens to doctors who are selling a diet, a book or a series of videos or a website etc, deserves what they get. They are simply in it for the money. To say that sugar is toxic and coupled with industrial food? Andrew weil is about as realistic as luke skywalker. Im sorry but i have a major problem with people who were fat their whole lives ( like me, and yes i am not afraid to say FAT) then all of a sudden they lose weight and as fast as that they are suddenly experts and start telling others how they are living badly. People shouldn't answer questions they were never asked.

its a part of it surely, but i know many obese people who think they look wonderful and dont see themselves as fat. So it needs some serious help.

too many carbs for me, i prefer as close to sugar free as possible and since i have no sensitivities nor celiac issues thankfully, im j just fine on the isolates. but we do have to remember to read labels, so many Protein supplements are not for weight loss, and have a ton of sugar and carbs in them. Especially ready made ones.

i think this may be tougher on women because of societies views on beauty etc. As a man who has reached goal, and i have a LOT of excess skin, in my belly and , well ill say it, my pubic area. But i honestly cannot fathom how i would ever be able to have plastics. just not financially viable, Mexico or not. I have an active capter 13 bankruptcy so now way to get a loan or finance it, id literally need to change my entire life again, to save up for the two years left on my bankruptcy to get plastics, it sucks, but as my wife says, " i like having you alive and well with loose skin, than fat and dead or in pain all the time. SO ill take it. ive never been a beach person and i can deal with it. The man boob thing is a lot better now, but weirder as i have fried eggs instead of a solid c cup. I actually contacted several tv shows to see if they wanted to sponsor my surgery in exchange for video rights and story rights lol. no one took me up on that.

sorry maam but as my father was want to say, Nobody sh*ts roses.

im a big fan of the Eades. ( sort of like Atkins) but they believe more in the high Protein low carbs that have come to be associated with our type of weight loss. They always gave that net carb formula. which is of course, total fiber + protein - carbs = net carbs. and it has really worked for me. Now im very grateful for the addition of the half sugar alcohols number to add in, i find the real sugar alcohol culprits are found in the s products like sugar free candies etc. things that we should probably stay away from anyway, sugar free cakes etc.

be careful to all about Protein bars, many many brands have a large number of grams of sugar. remember 4 grams of sugar is a teaspoon of sygar so 12 grams of sugar is three whole teaspoons of sugar. many is teh time i have picked up a Protein Bar and looked at the label only to be shocked and put it right back down again.

i made 12 million dollars working at home, on google and through this website, last month alone... Ha Ha I really despise those people. I got called last night by one of those windows service centers for your computer, i wont mention the country of origin because people think I am racist if i mention a foreign country, but anyway. I unfortunately was not in a good mood, was trying to rush out to he gym it was 96 degrees, i had just come home from work, i was washing a frying pan and dropped it and had to wipe up soapy Water on the floor etc, and got that call, and I just exploded at the guy, lol truthfully though i did feel better after. I do love to mess with telemarketers, like the last idiot that called about solar panels, i told him " im sorry sir, but on my planet, we dont have a sun, just ambient cosmic radiation." i was met with stunned silence. I love window salesmen, to them i usually say, I have no windows in my home, i bricked them all up to keep out the zombies. That usually gets a chuckle.

Im always skepticalof anything that ends with, ..."...and my new book." lol thats why people like dr phil and dr oz etc. are so despised by me. people will do anything for money.

Good question, I have always said i wanted my tombstone to read, ...here lies Steve, he was truly a nice guy. But that is a copout, i think it was the fat guy trying to be liked so much regardless of whether or not i was nice to them perhaps. Now that I have discovered the other side of fat so to speak, I realized that life isnt just about being nice, thats just the easy way of saying , i didnt accomplish anything. Everyone dies, You have to live as well, before you die, so now i have all these goals, i take guitar lessons and I really want to be able to enjoy music in this new way, I have always been a singer, and with this new body I have to adapt to the changes, and i want to add my guitar playing into my repetoire. I am also building toward running a 5k, and I am really enjoying this journey.

i bought my first pair of pants since my weight loss started, at a goodwill 3 days ago. a nice pair of basic black dress pants, just in case. Size 36 waist. i havent worn a 36 since the 8th grade. I have to go away for business in september. and trust me i own just this one pair of pants everything else i own is either shorts or some exercise wear. Thankfully my work is ultra casual so at work it doesnt matter , but when i go away we have to dress a bit. sigh. lol budgetary concerns are the biggest however.
