Hey All,
Just thought I'd share some advice i had from my doctor :)
Firstly he recommended anyone trying to lose weight should have blood tests, including thyroid, just to rule out any health issues (so am going for my blood tests on sat).
Also, he has highly recommended the CSIRO Wellbeing Diet Book - the only diet book he would ever recommend.
Basically it is pretty flexible, but recommendations are:
- High protein, low fat diet
- Red meat 4 nights a week, fish twice and chicken once.
- 2 fruit servings a day
- 1 high fibre cereal serving a day (weetbix, all bran etc)
- 2 wholemeal servings a day (rice/pasta/potato/bread)
- plenty of veg (almost unlimited)
- high fibre lunch (egg/ham/salmon/corned beef etc with salad in wholemeal bread/roll) or veg soup
- plus only 2 units of alcohol a week (ie 2 glasses of wine)
Thats kinda the key points anyways . . . so after a steady loss of 0.7/0.8Kgs per week over the last 3 weeks, i'll see how i go on this :)
Is anyone else trying a specific weight loss program?
I was surprised by the high protein stuff - i always thought chicken was better for being 'healthy'.
I know a few people who have done Jenny Craig type programs and lost 15-20Kgs in a few months . . . but its not cheap (i think around $100 per week, plus you have to add some stuff to it).

Thanks for that mate think we have one of them here someplace will check it out
will do mateQuote:

I take that Fish 'Super Concentrate' (3ml per day) which has about the same intake of omega3 as about 500 grams of fish - a lot of fish!! (omega3 is the stuff your brain is made up of/uses for function).
Vegetables are always high on the agenda, but the problem these days is we tend to boil them, thinking that's the best way to cook them for health. Problem is, cooking leaches a huge amount of the natural nutrients out of the vege's and what you left with is a lot of starch in things like potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, etc. Starch is just a complex sugar and if not burned, will simply be stored for later use as fat.
Losing weight fast like on Jenny Craig is based on 'shocking' the body into action - fast weight loss is NOT healthy nor is it usually sustainable post the completion of a program. Remember, we are all physiologically different - we metabolize differently, we absorb/break down/utilize nutrients and chemicals differently, we have different lifestyles and irrespective of what the literally thousands of diet programs out there suggest, what works for one, may and generally will not work for another. Put it this way - you can google this as its on the web - take biological identical twins (single egg, not paternal twins) who consume the same food, same diet, same exercise routine etc - they both 'may' sustain a nearly identical weight, but one may develop gout from eating tomato and the other doesn't, etc - why? They are 'identical' twins? The reason is even though they are twins (not chimera's either - they are hideously rare and obviously need to be excluded) is all the above - their genetic makeup is essentially the same, but their DNA is not, and even subtle changes (0.00001%) in DNA will affect their physiology. Remember again that we share 98% of the same DNA as rats!!!! So it doesn't take much of a change to completely affect the look, the way we process, etc.
Some people battle weight their whole life - go to a party and watch some skinny bloke plowing through a carton of heavy beer (about 8-11 grams of sugar in each bottle - two to three full teaspoons to make it easier to comprehend), eating cheese and crackers, dips etc whilst you're sitting there thinking I'd be as big as a house if I ate like that. Solely because they process differently. It certainly does NOT mean they ate healthy on the inside (usually quite the contrary), but again, as a western civilization, we have a fixation that "thin is healthy" -- wrong, wrong, wrong!!
You'll have a weight that is right for your build etc and you may find (just like me) that you are going to have to prepare yourself for a life long change of having the occasional (5+ times per week) meal replacement drink etc to keep the weight off. I played A grade and representative rugby league and couldn't get over about 95kilos (fit) when playing, but now have to realise that 95 kilos is a real achievement for me - I stopped playing and went to 125kgs!! I don't want to be that big again, and I don't want to do 20+ hours of intensive training per week either, so there has to be a compromise - and that is diet and lifestyle.
Sorry for the hideously long winded response. Try to find what's right for you - have a look back at some of the earlier posts in this thread for vege's and fruit etc to steer clear of, certainly increase your protein intake, and reduce the fat and carbs wherever you can - don't forget, many type 2 diabetics (my father and I'm sure some people on the forum) are more susceptible to fats than just sugars - both need to be watched and reduced where possible.
For me, I'm a terrible breakfast eater - that is, I don't have it as I'm milk (and soy) protein intolerant. That doesn't mean I don't like them! lol. It means I don't process them and I get physically sick. As I'm not a 'get up and make toast' kind of guy (and that most bread is high in sugars), I simply stopped having brekky - that's bad!!! So now I have a meal replacement shake - the Rapid Loss one - high in protein, still has simple sugars, but low and no fats and heaps of vitamins (I take a multi vitamin also). This is great as I found I used to Hoover late morning and into lunch, but now not feeling overwhelmed by hunger die to having something at breakfast. Due to injury, I have done literally nothing but change my diet through the last 4 weeks, and have lost just over 12kgs!! I am now replacing two meals with supplements, grazing through the day (smaller snacks, more often). I had roast pork with baked vege's last night, so I'm not completely changing my life - it needs to be sustainable and realistic!!!
Good luck with it.
so im gunna turn into a rat with all this weight loss ..........roflmfao
thats nice to know hahaha

I have the first one, but think they are both the same idea. Contain info about weight loss, types of food, exercise, meal plans and recipes.
There is also a recipe book - but doesn't have all the other stuff in it.
Highly recommend the fennel crusted pork with parsnip n baked apple!!!! Just had it for dinner! Yummy :)
Does anyone have a hight to wieght chart that they could post up
thanks in advance

I keep telling myself.... 80% nutrician, 20% exercise. I did 'a few' exercises last night and I was not a happy chappy. I didn't want to be there!
My reward is seeing those little numbers on the scales dropping and dropping.
I even checked out my new birthday suit in the mirror. I'm impressed. lol
How are all you ex-smokers going? Hang in there brothers and sisters.
Good onya Rossco glad ya can squeeze into the ol bday suit m8 hahaha ur gunna have to buy another pair of plumb shorts the others will be gettin a bit baggy! Hahaha. I hear ya on the exercise. I don't mind doin weights but still takes a sh1t load of brain strain to stay on the treadmill! I give meself a kick in the pants and a mental spoonful of cement for the first 5 min
I'm having issues what to eat before and after a decent workout. Gunna see a dietician shortly. My body didn't like a decent workout first thing in the morning - b4 breakfast. Dangerous, man!!!Quote:

True story...... I'm doing reasonably well with this lifestyle change and have lost weight.
I came home from work yesterday and was told by the missus she had gone through my wardrobe and taken all my 'too big clothes' to the op shop. I was left with a couple of shirts and a couple of pairs of 'going out' long pants.
After my initial 'hot flush' of disbelief, she won't tell me which op shop I can retrieve them from.
Anyway, I went through the rest of my wardrobe, and found that I haven't got a wardrobe. There's only about 2 shirts that fit. Even my 2 piece suit is too big!
My sole wardrobe now consists of a pair of jeans and a couple of shirts!
I'm giving away the following, for free.
1 x 2 piece suit - jacket and pants, size 107 - only worn a few times, still brand new condition.
5pr 97 long pants - various shades of brown
1 x pr 102 long pants
Please PM me an address if you want any of these - other wise the missus will put them into the op shop.
You have until Tuesday morning, and the clock starts ticking......now. lol
Just a quick "hello' to encourage you all - including me - to hang in there.
There has been times in my journey where I've fallen off the horse, but got back on, dropped it down a gear, and put the pedal to the metal
- like the other night.
Coz I've cranked up the exercise, I'm getting hungrier. The other night, I ate like a pig and couldn't shovel it in fast enough!
Lucky for me it was still healthy stuff, but it was wayyyyyyyy too much.
I'd like to recommend a book for you to consider. Its called 'the CSIRO and BAKER IDI Diabetes Diet and Lifestyle Plan.'
It costs $35 rrp, and includes over 80 delicious diabetes-friendly recipes for many occasions - including:
- Breakfasts
- Snacks
- Lunches and Light Meals
- Soups and Salads
- Weeknight dinners
- Casual night in with friends
- Dinners on a shoestring
- Weekend Barbecue picnics
- Weekend cooking
- Dinner Party, and;
- Deserts.
I'm making the exception and recommending this book as a very satisfied customer. My missus cooks from these recipes most nights
and doubles the quantities, so we always have good, healthy food in the freezer for those times where we are both doing shift work,
or I need a break from doing the dishes. lol
For over 3 months now, the majority of our meals have come from this book. I can honestly say, I have only eaten from one recipe
that my taste buds didn't like. These recipes are faaaarrr from 'bland' and I look forward to each 'new creation' placed on our table.
Take care out there.

Hey Scotty, it's damn hard being on the road and trying to stay in a routine!
I went to the city on the weekend, visited my youngins and took them to KFC and Red Rooster. Luckily they sold wraps!
I conquered - no fried chicken, no chips, no upsizing, no sauces. Just salad, grilled chicken and a Pepsi Max treat. lol
Stayed off the peace, too. Haven't had a drink in over 3 months now.
Great to see you back on track, and please, no more sports injury photos. I still feel queezy. lol
Take care out there.
Rossco
