902.0. "A cry for help !" by MANM01::CABOTAJE () Thu Nov 02 1995 06:18

    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.

902.1Yes - as part of a calorie controlled ...MARVIN::CROWLESeek not answers; live the questionsThu Nov 02 1995 16:1919
    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 :-(!

902.2what I used that workedTNPUBS::PAINTERPlanet CrayonThu Nov 02 1995 20:329
    
    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."

    I go to an Ayurvedic physician now, and he said to sip hot water
    during the day because this assists in detoxifying the body.
