Anyone interested in really effective weight loss? Since I was last on here I took it really seriously - particularly as the PM had caused me to gain weight for a while, and over the last year I found how to lose weight steadily, and reasonably rapidly, without hunger. All it requires is to ignore pretty much what we've been told over the last 40 years, and eat the way I did for the first 25 years of my life - incidentally, when I was 25, I weighed 147 lbs, and that is what I weigh now.

If you are interested, then this guy, a South African sports scientist, medical doctor, and university professor, can give you the skinny in 15 minutes of your time. Tim-Noakes

B,

I agree. In particular the American Heart Association is responsible for much of the obesity and diabetes in the US. The low fat, high carb diet keeps your insulin and blood sugar spiking. I still will eat some bread (but very, very little compared to the way I used to eat), however my wife and I both keep our daily carb intake to 40 grams or less. It really, really works.
