Healthy Weight Loss

sarahwho · 10-28-2011, 09:35 PM

Oh good, I found the right thread! I need to lose weight! Have been going to a "herbalist" (that's what I'll call her - have no idea where her title really is) and she gave me some natural supplements (because vitamins and I don't get along)! For awhile I was losing weight (I'm down a pant's size...pant, pant), but it doesn't seem like it's coming off too quickly! I can't figure out the WW diet, and I have low blood sugar, so carb diets make me crash.......any suggestions?

The simpler the better, I say...fruits, veges, lean meats. Stay away from processed foods and refined sugars and move your body!

Anyone have any suggestions for getting through the muscle soreness so tomorrow I can back on the horse?

I hope everyone is doing well.

Keep drinking water to start flushing the lactic acid AND......AND......do a lot of slow, static stretching.

Both are important.

I've been reading this amazing book called "The China Study".

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932100660/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER"]Amazon.com: The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health (9781932100662): T. Colin Campbell, Thomas M. Campbell II, Howard Lyman, John Robbins: Books[/ame]

It is perhaps one of the most important books on nutrition. It's not a diet book but shines a light on the food industry and studies that prove that a plant based diet, no processed food, etc. eliminates disease and increases longevity. I know its hard to switch and I'm the first to shove cake in my mouth and deal with guilt later. Reading this makes me think which system I want to support and overall what I want the quality of my life to be. When I spend time with Mia, my granddaughter, I think things, want things and the number one priority for me is to be around when when she has kids and watch her live a wonderful and healthy life.

grrrr I contracted a dang stomach bug and spent two days from hell. I am so off the program now I don't know if I can get back on it again, the good news is I tried my skinny jeans on yesterday and they slipped right on, trying to get my strength back up without adding to my waistline.

Way to go all of you, you all do keep me going...

Hello everybody! Happy, ghoulish Halloween!

sarahwho glad you found your way here. I think if you poke and read around the thread you will find some great information to help you along your journey.

ElijahRene same thing happens to me when I haven't gone to the gym in awhile. I get sore beyond belief! lol. . and it's painful man. Nothing really seems to help. Try some Ibuprofen, hot showers, and most importantly keep the joints moving. If you sit still it's worse. As soon as you feel okay and go back to the gym though, you will find it was just temporary muscle soreness. I guess for me when I haven't been in awhile I will just take it easy on the first visit again.

Thanks for the posts and questions everybody. Welcome to the new people!
