I am reading a book just now called 'Confessions of a Reformed Dieter', and it has made me think quite a bit - I really don't know why I am just so fat (other than I ate a lot). In the book she has suffered years of abuse and torment about her weight and other issues, she can pinpoint why she is obese; I can not. I might make another post about this later once I have my thoughts in order.

weight gain is a very complex issue, many things such as the subconscious, environment pressures, stress, sugar imbalance, deep seated psychological issues and even boredom affect it

however the big one and the one that's easiest to control is the affect insulin has on the body, high insulin levels lead to sugar craving, fat storage and worse of all the blocking of fat burning

its not really how much we eat that makes us fat, its more what we eat, when we eat it and the quality of it.

1 hour aqua aerobics
1 hour walking

Haven't had a chance to do my weekly weigh in yet as my Wii remotes don't seem to be responding so going to get some batteries and probably weigh in tomorrow morning

Expecting a gain though as I haven't been the best I can be. Must try harder this week

Hi, just found this thread, what a great idea.

Despite running the marathon this year I have actually put on weight so for the last week been on the Rc fat flush which I have done before, I don't go to classes just read the books!

Anyway week one, 1200 calories a day and 5000 calorie burn result 4lb loss, at 5'7 I am now in healthy BMI, just at 11st4lb

Still a long way to go, but hopefully you guys can help me keep inspired!

Eric, how do we find out whether insulin levels are high or otherwise? I'm not diabetic. And I don't crave sugar.

with difficulty

all you can really do is control what you eat to ensure your not eating quick release carbs

if your putting on weight odds are you are elevating your insulin levels
