Re: Jenny Craig
Even if you don't start with liver problems it can happen. A common
aftermath of successful dieting is cholecystectomy. It happened to me and I
never had any liver problems to begin with.
I don't like the sound of the program above with the meds. I have tried
them--the prescription and nonprescription drugs. Also claiming 100%
success is reason for suspicion right there. No program has that kind of
success.
I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and am struggling with the
low-carb my physician recommended. The only way I have ever lost weight
(and I have lost a LOT of weight twice) is to eat less and exercise more. I
am trying to control my diabetes with diet and exercise alone and not take
any medications and I am working on the weight loss. We will see how it
goes--so far so good. But...I lost the first 10 pounds easily and now it
just doesn't want to come off any more--the story of my life. But the
desire not to have to take another pill may be strong enough incentive! I
am keeping the blood sugars at the upper end of my "target" with very few
going over, so doc says that is a good start.
There is simply NO EASY WAY to lose weight for those of us destined to have
"efficient metabolism". Su's 5 rules may help, but they do not work for
everyone. I cannot eat 5 meals a day and lose weight and I have a real
problem with a lot of the foods I should eat I really do not like--I can't
eat yogurt no matter how they try to disguise it, for instance! Also, I
really enjoy good food and it's a challenge to be able to include some of
those dishes. I have learned to substitute, cut portion size, etc.--allow
myself at least a "taste" of some favorites. Without doing that there is no
way I could stick to a diet.
There's lots of advice out there--good and bad. You have to work out a plan
that works for YOU. I'm 43 pounds lighter than I was at my highest weight,
and that is considered as "success" by some, but I'm still well over what I
should weigh. And, the older you get the harder it is to burn calories. I
try to swim every day. I HATE the exercise bike. I rather liked the
treadmill, but I blew my Achilles tendon on that and ortho says no more
treadmill. With my arthritis ways to exercise are limited. I hear people
giving advice and saying "everyone can walk." Well everyone can't walk
enough to help the weight much. I walk as much as I can and I have
increased my walking, but there are limits, and they aren't high enough to
make that form of exercise a big help.
Just find a way that you can live with and try to stick with it.
