Lustig is saying that the condition known as hyperinsulinemia drives weight gain. One way you can get that condition is by drinking lots of soda with high fructose corn syrup. But some people will do that and not become fat. Why? Because their particular metabolism is resistant to...

Patch, did you finish the 8 weeks? Are you in remission now? Are you cured, brother??????

SALES PITCH SPAM!!!

Thanks, Grant

I was lazily reading your post, you moaning about not being able to exercise, and then I did a double take when I read this... I thought "That's a vicious way to take exercise".

Thanks bob. Tomorrow I will be hungry, but happy to be back with my buddies on the greatest diet known to man.

Poor gypsies. They have a reputation for theft and leaving trash and clutter behind them. I'm sure that's quite unfair.

It's mainly fat, Patch m8. I reckon there's 1Kg, or 2Kg tops of water/colon waste/glucose that goes in the early stage of a diet. Anything on top of that is pure fat loss. I know it coz I'm 6Kg down on my starting weight of 115Kg, and I've had to cut 2 inches off my belt. There's a pair of...

I've been off the wagon for weeks now. Interesting that I've only put back 1Kg of all the weight I lost, and I reckon there's been some permanent positive benefit in blood sugar control and general liver function (nice skin). I'm seriously thinking of getting back with the program from Monday...

Presume away Ehlana. My ignorance is more extensive than my knowledge.

I know, I know. Those shakes are not bad now that I'm putting chocolate in them. At the moment I'm doing shakes one day and McDonald's the next. Now if I could just avoid those golden arches I'd be fine. ATM my weight is still going down, slowly but surely. But I need to break through and do a...

Ehlana, if you put on 8 llbs on an 800 calorie diet you either cheated big time or it's all water weight or your scales are broken. I can't believe your metabolism slowed to consuming less than 800 cals per day. you should do some exercise.

You're doing a great job, buddy. Those BG numbers are great. Keep it up. I'm still on and off... but down now to 109.8 Kg. My short-term goal is 105Kgs at which point my wife has promised me a small slice of pizza. Hope I'm man enough to resist her temptation.

How did you know I ate mashed potato last night? Are you psychic? Fortunately I put loads of butter in it. Phew! Close call.

You may think sugar's the enemy, but did you know that a french baguette has a higher glycemic index than sugar? I think baked spuds are pretty high up as well. I always have half a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of tea (twice a day), and because it's only half a teaspoon it's not that big a deal. A...

The last time I had bacon it was as follows: 6 thin rashers of streaky bacon fried without any added oil in a large frying pan. The bacon fat left in the pan was used to fry a couple of fresh tomatoes. Button mushrooms were then added, along with two eggs. The whole was consumed with two slices...

DAY 1 Weight is stable at 109 Kg. Diet has been erratic because my wife's birthday was yesterday and I was forced to eat cake against my will. I didn't have much... honest! Today will be 2 herbalife chocolatized vanilla shakes with broccoli soup for lunch. Yum!

How long have you been on the diet? I think you will need to cut out the Metformin altogether. If you don't, please keep a sugary drink or a small candy in your pocket for when you get a hypo. Also, you need to get a South Park style avatar as the diet simply will not work without one. As Dr...

Now you're talking!

Nice one, bob. Keep it up.
