Hi WW team,
I just started reading and learning from this notes conference about
means to lose weight. My friends suggested to cut on red meats and I
had read also red meats in some replies in this conferences. Can anyone
there tell me what are those considered red meats?
Also, my daily routine is not that too active and I only workout during
Saturdays because that's the only time I've got. Any suggestion on what
should I eat and do to take off my 24 pounds excess.
Really need to lose weight!
Thanks for your support.

Yes, cutting out red meats can help. For example, beef, lamb and pork
tend to have more calories, weight for weight, than chicken, turkey, or
white fish (like cod or haddock). But just swapping from beef to
chicken isn't going to make a huge difference. You might save 100
calories a day - roughly equivalent to a pound a month weight loss! I
suspect you'd like to make progress a little faster than that, eh ;-)!
What matters in the end is your energy intake, rather than the actual
types of food you eat. This is where you need to either count (and
limit) your calorie intake, or follow a (preferably well balanced) diet
plan which takes the energy content of foods into account. There are
dozens of such diets available - you won't have to look far. But
please pick a balanced one - don't go for one of those "single food"
diets, will you!
The workouts will help too. Once a week? That's fine! It's once a
week more than I do :-(!

| 902.2 | what I used that worked | TNPUBS::PAINTER | Planet Crayon | Thu Nov 02 1995 17:32 | 9 |
I successfully used Herbalife products to lose 10-12 lbs. and
3 jeans sizes (from a 12/14 to a 6/8), and have kept it off
without much effort at all for the last year with no signs of
putting it back on.
See note 869 for more information.

I've lost 14inches waist, 136 pounds this year, more to go.
I started with a hypnotist [sp].
That gave me the initial help I needed.
there was also a rethink what you eat session.
NO CAFFINE.
NO artifical sweatener.
no refined sugar.
reduced fat.
many small meals.
for the last two months, I have leveled off into a 1-2#/week burn
FAT/hidden fat is a biggie. %fat is so deciving. you really have to
conver fat grams * 9 to get a real feeling as to how much fat is in
a product. I never have anything over 20%

I don't remember other than caffin being an unnatural drug for the
body. I am just following the program as directed.
I do sneak a cup now and then, but not my 10 a day.

"Coffee and tea tend to stimulate sugar release from the liver, which
in turn stimulates pancreatic activity, which exhausts the pancreas."
(Source: "Candida Albicans", by Leon Chaitow, D.O., N.D.)
I go to an Ayurvedic physician now, and he said to sip hot water
during the day because this assists in detoxifying the body.
