Because of its sedative properties, it is recommended for treating insomnia, intestinal spasms and palpitations. It is said that the emperor Domitian "tortured" his guests at banquets by serving them a head of lettuce at the beginning of the meal. Not allowed to nod off in front of his imperial majesty, they were forced to fight off their sleepiness for hours." Fiendishly clever that Domitian dude. |

I've been eating it as I described probably 3 or 4 times a week. It seems to kill the "hungries" and is quite tasty. I am just about at the end of the diet phase of my program. For the first time in 37 years I am under 200 lbs. I've got about 5-6 more pounds to go, then I'll just focus on the exercise. Eisboch |

Haven't looked for a diet yet, and wouldn't know where to start. If you've got a source for some good ideas, pass them on please. Check out weight watchers, they seem to have some of the best long term results, because they (like Richard) emphasize positive changes in your choice of food, quantity of food, and exercise. The fact that you have to weigh in once a week is a strong psychological encouragement to stay on the course. Basically it emphasizes lots of fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of water, limiting simple carbs and replacing them with complex carbs and increasing your exercise. If you look at any diabetic plan, you will find great meal plans that will be very effective in having you eat healthy, in reasonable quantities and will result in weight lose. If you lose 3 lbs a week that is excellent results, you really don't want a quick weight lose program. |

It is the type of diet doctors and nuitritonist would recommend for long term health. The only difference is weekly meetings for support. You obviously didn't need the support, but some do. I would take a guess you followed weight watchers plan, without knowing it. |

I would take a guess you followed weight watchers plan, without knowing it. Probably pretty much what I've had success with. Eat a balanced diet, control portion size to limit calories, and exercise. It's easy enough if you set you mind to it. Also easy to fall away from too. But once you've done it, like a bicycle, you can do it again. I think with today's easy lifestyle, most people have to get on the bike now and then....or just get fat. --Vic |

They're the type where your vehicle either drops into first gear, or you come to a stop. :-) So, back in December, I loaded up a backpack with a 30 lb bag of cat litter and attacked both hills, as well as some moderately sloped terrain for the rest of a 5 mile walk. I added 20 lbs of barbell weights 3 weeks ago. Biggest difference: abdomen. I'm not overweight, but things are relocating. Goal: Stop that trend. It's working. |
