Hanspan, thanks very much for the excel graph,
am not brilliant with excel, but can understand.

Have entered my weights and will be great to see my average weight loss.
Thanks again

You're welcome. Custom version with your target on its way.

Oooooooh what am I missing out on? I might want an excel graph too.

Its something I've set up and found cheered me up no end on the bad days/weeks. You can weigh as often as you like - in fact once a day works well so no need to resist the scales! It averages out your weekly weight and plots it on a graph against your target. For me it meant that having a bad day didn't make me so miserable that I started eating rubbish, as I could see the overall trend instead of getting hung up on one step on the scales.

I'm sad and actually like excel so happy to tailor one for you (and anyone else that wants it).

I do need to know (vaguely if you prefer to keep details to yourself) where you started and when, and where you want to get to and when so I can set the scale on the graph. PM me that and your email and I'll send one off.

Ooooh badger, the Hilton, you lucky bugga and all those pastries and waffles, dont think i could've resisted. Well done to you.

Happydaze, welcome to the whingeing thread :rotfl:
I wouldnt bother with ketostix, i bought some, took ages cutting them down the middle (to be more mse) so doubled the amount, used for the first week and they now sit untouched on my cupboard.

You could put us on your fave list but i just never log out, look at the previous days history and hey presto, there we all are

Cant quite believe i have just had tuna mayo on lettuce for brekkie. Was making sons sarnies, had a mouthful and thought i may as well use it up. :rolleyes: was lovely i might add, and it may become a regular

Consuming fructose-sweetened, not glucose sweetened, beverages increases visceral adiposity and lipids and decreases insulin sensitivity in overweight/obese humansStudies in animals have documented that, compared with glucose, dietary fructose induces dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.
To assess the relative effects of these dietary sugars during sustained consumption in humans, overweight and obese subjects consumed glucose or fructose sweetened beverages providing 25% of energy requirements for 10 weeks.
Although both groups exhibited similar weight gain during the intervention, visceral adipose volume was significantly increased only in subjects consuming fructose.

Fasting plasma triglyceride concentrations increased by approximately 10% during 10 weeks of glucose consumption but not after fructose consumption. In contrast, hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and the 23-hour postprandial triglyceride AUC were increased specifically during fructose consumption.

Similarly, markers of altered lipid metabolism and lipoprotein remodeling, including fasting apoB, LDL, small dense LDL, oxidized LDL, and postprandial concentrations of remnant like particle triglyceride and cholesterol significantly increased during fructose but not glucose consumption.

In addition, fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels increased and insulin sensitivity decreased in subjects consuming fructose but not in those consuming glucose.

These data suggest that dietary fructose specifically increases DNL, promotes dyslipidemia, decreases insulin sensitivity, and increases visceral adiposity in overweight/obese adults.

I don't suppose anyone here will be daft enough to assume that because Fructose is even worse than glucose it is fine to consume any amount of glucose?

Good morning all :hello:

Just thought I would show my [STRIKE]fat, carby[/STRIKE] face

I'm getting more confuzzled by the minute!! Have been reading a 'You are what you eat' book that I got from the library a couple of weeks ago as well as my IPD book & I don't know if I'm coming or going?! Both books make perfect sense to me but don't advocate the same eating plans You know when you wish you hadn't started something ...............

LittleMiss, you seem to be doing great with your exercise regime - just wanted you to know it hadn't gone unnoticed!! Mine has fallen by the wayside For now :rolleyes:
