I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)
Front-Ranger:
Howzit going, Jeff? :-\
Many sources warn us not to eat a lot of processed foods. But why? Here's one reason: processed foods have a lot of corn and soy, chiefly corn syrup and soy oil. Even baby formula is made primarily of corn and soy. That white stuff you put in your coffee that says, non-dairy creamer? It's corn and soy. Michael Pollan and a recent study conclude that "corn and soy’s combined make up 40 percent of the total calories available to people. And, because they are cheap, corn and soy are disproportionately eaten by the poor and less educated.

Thank you for reading this public service message of the day! Corn and soy are not in burgers and hot dogs (the high quality kind anyway), watermelon, or salads, so go ahead and enjoy these on your Memorial Day celebration! Have some corn on the cob too. Enjoy the grain as it was meant to be enjoyed.

Well, I'm not terribly surprised, but after nearly a week of vacation, I've gained back almost all the five pounds I struggled to lose a few months ago. :-\

isn't that always the way it goes?
Sason:
After one year of slow and unsteady weight loss, I'm happy to announce that I've lost 12 kg!!!
It's not much in one year, I know that - but after all 12 kg is 12 kg, no matter how long it took!
I'm planning on keeping it up, and if I'm able to continue like this I will be near my goal in about a year.
It's not unlikely that the speed will go down even more, as it often does, but then I'll just have to keep it up longer.
My method is as before: cutting down on the sweet and fatty stuff, and filling myself up with huge quantities of veggies and fruit.
