ST I had begin to think we'd gotten rid of you but your like a bear with a sore butt........ You just can't sit on it and have to open your trap everytime a subject of weight is mentioned.........

Delta I hope you will keep us posted on what you find out..............

Oh.. no such luck Forgiven !
Nice to see you back Nikita and welcome your return to the group after your wee absence . You were missed. Some people we would be better off without, but you are not one who is in that category! I believe that focusing on ways to crank start the metabolism is something that could help many of us. In fact, I did at one time follow a regime that was designed to do just that by eating small snacks every two hours, rather than having 3 meals a day. That and daily exercise. I did loose weight on it too to begin with but then it plateaued. I think it would work particularly well for younger women . As part of the normal aging processes the slowing of the metabolic rate of we older ones is natural and normal and so I believe it is a lot more difficult to get it re-activated once that shutting down process has begun.
Unfortunately , skipping of meals and not eating for long periods of time is what stuffs up the metabolic rates of most people and in this busy life it is all too easy to do that unfortunately.
Delta I too am looking forward to hearing more on this subject from you once you have received your information pack. I don't think I have seen anything of this nature advertised in NZ yet, but often we run a little behind Aussie... not in everything... just somethings, and sometimes. LOL.

I look forward to reading of your experiences. Not that I can afford it but it's always interesting to see how others get on.

I know this thread is old news, but I only just spotted it and felt compelled to reply.

I hope you get this Staying There :O)

All you people out there who cant see the truth in what "ST" has said in this thread are kidding themselves and basically not taking responsibly for themselves....they would rather lay the blame for their own inability to control their diet and exercise habits on biological, psychological and environmental factors - apparently "out of their control", as they simply don't feel they are able to assert any control themselves and it would be easier and less demanding to pay some "weight-loss bandwagon, pharmaceutical company" to take over the responsibility for their own personal struggles.

I am not condemning all people who struggle in this area, as I am sure there are probably genuine cases of medical issues causing weight gain in some individuals.......but for the majority of us out here, controlling your weight....unfortunate as it may seem...truly is a difficult, yet essential case of learning to control your own behavior and retraining yourself to make good choices, regardless of your overwhelming impulses to do the opposite.

I am sure many, if not most of you out there will disagree with me...hence the overwhelming obesity statistics.......think about it...these medical issues, which people claim are causing them to be overweight and unable to control it....are supposedly hereditary...they didn't just pop up in the last fifty years....so tell me then, where is the evidence of obesity being an issue for these "carriers" in ancient history?....this wasn't even a problem for our grand-parents - who, interestingly enough did not have a fast food/doughnut shop on every corner, cooked basic home style food with vegetables and natural ingredients and often walked, biked or rode horses to work and school. It doesn't take Einstein to make the connection.

For all those out there that are angry at me right now for throwing the truth in your faces....prove me wrong! Drink two glasses of water when you wake up, eat a bowl of museli with low fat milk and a piece of fruit for breakfast, have two rice crackers with cottage cheese and a cup of herbal tea for morning tea a salad sandwich with tuna and mayo...and NO MARGARINE...and a piece of fruit for lunch, a boiled egg, a piece of toast and herb tea for afternoon tea and a small serving of meat with plenty of vegetables (no cheesy sauces and other fattening crap) for dinner and lots of water throughout the day. Mix it up with other healthy options walk for twenty minutes four times a week and keep it up for four weeks (although you would see the effects within days - Ive done it...so i know)....then come back here and reconsider your opinion on whether or not you have the ultimate control of who and what you want to be.

To "ST" good on you...thank God there are other people in this world who have the common sense to know a scam when they see one and be brave enough to say so.

I guess you "only just spotted it" jojo, because you only just joined today!!

There is a whole heap of history you have missed, unless of course you have been here before under another name.

Do we need or want this *dieting* advice?
I think not.

why bother bringing it up then? if your not really interested in other peoples opinions...why join a chat and ask silly questions

Actually I bought the issue up 2 years ago, for medical reasons for a family member.
