Are you reading YOU on a Diet, following it, or just wanting to read about it? Here's the place for it!

i am reading this book!! i just picked it up yesterday. i also watched the Oprah episode about it, and the special on discovery health. it really has my interest peaked. could it really be this simple?? i'm hoping!! i started the plan today. anyone else out there??
|
I am following the 'diet'! I'm in the middle of day two and i'm not hungry at all :) I think once i last a full week or two i am going to buy the book!
Here is my question for you guys: are you eating the whole wheat products daily? Quote:

I might be totally wrong, but I was thinking that the book said something about going to the largest part of the midriff if you were smaller...shoot, I can't find that. It is in a shaded area, I believe, towards the beginning of the book if anybody knows what I'm talking about.
Ally, the book is only 9.99 if you buy it on Zooba. I would recommend buying it even if you don't follow the plan to the T because there is a lot of good info in it. |
Whoops, strike that. Zooba won't have it for another week. It is about $13 on Amazon though.

Ally, I would recommend the sucked in measurement. That's what they did for everyone on the tv show. I'm sure they have a reason for it, even if they didn't explain, lol. So suck it in :D

I watched the TV special on Discovery and it intrigued me. Actually, it scared the @#$! out of me! I am about 140 lbs. overweight and when I saw them holding the enlarged heart I cringed. I can't imagine what my insides look like. I decided it comes down to this - I probably won't make it to 50 (I am 40 right now) if I don't change my way of life. So I ordered the book on Amazon and it should be on my doorstep Wednesday.
Here's to success :cheer: Donna |
This has me intrigued as well.
I also couldn't believe how he told them to suck it in, suck it in! I wonder why? I thinkI'm going to look into this more too! goodluck all |
well yesterday was a big success for me, i felt great! not like i was dieting, and for me, that is really important. i logged all my food in and was around 1600 cals for the day. that is a little lower than the reccomended 1800 for me but i was truly full so i'm not giving it another thought.
off to a good start today, i did the 20 minute beginner workout, my pedometer is all ready (10000 steps today). off to pack my lunch for work. have a great day everyone!! |
I am going to buy the book today. I was also very impressed with the shows (on Oprah and Discovery). It makes sense and those people had good results - so I figure why not give it a try. My husband and I are going to do it together which will make things a little easier, I imagine.
Good luck everyone! |
Still waiting for the book and dvd. I keep reading his site and I Tivo'd Oprah and Discovery Health. Those 2 doctors are great teachers. Any suggestions on Omron HJ 112 pedometer? I looked all over yesterday so this will be ordered also.
I am going to continue with Fat Smash until I read the book. Kathy |
I have the book at home. I'm finishing up another book tonight (Fat Land -how Americans became the fattest people in the world) and plan to start You on a diet next. I read You the owner's manual last year and thought they made lots of sense. I'm not sure if I will change my eating plan or not. I'm pretty comfortable with what I'm doing and already consider it very healthy, but I'm always open to new ideas. :)

Tammi,
What diet are your currently following? You have done an amazing job. I am doing LA Wt. Loss. Thinking about buying the book, too, as I didn't catch the Oprah show. Good Luck Lolene |
Thanks Lolene, I started out doing Somersizing (based on the Suzanne Somers diet books). I moved over to calorie counting earlier this year. At that point, I had kind of decided that Somersizing was still based on low calorie, and there were some things on Somersizing that I didn't think I could do forever. I think somersizing is fantastic, and I'm certainly not knocking it because I don't think I could have gotten started without it. It's a great way to prevent cravings and to keep from feeling deprived (which has always been a diet buster for me). I still follow many of the Somersizing principles, which seem to agree with a lot of You on a diet principles - no high fructose corn syrup, no sugar, whole grains instead of processed grains, lots of vegetables and fruit.
