Right there with ya Westy. I too am doing the "extended induction period". Been doing this for 6 weeks now and lost 23lbs. I wasn't huge but the wobly stuff was really annoying me. I also excercise every weekday morning, situps, pushups, and ATLEAST 20 mins on the stationary bike while playing Gran Turismo 3 (helps me pedal faster :) )
I'm gonna start working back in the beer carbs today , yippeeee. I feel I have maybe 10 more lbs to go until I'm satisfied and then I just have to keep a healthy lifestyle.

56 days into it, got smashed on no carb vodka on pry 40 of them, still down 33 lbs. Pulled the old 38 pants to my chin and gave my wife a camel toe shot, she wasn't impressed.

If your fat and want to get baked regular, I highly recommend leaving the carbs out and doing Atkins. You will feel so much better, you can get drunk twice as much!

Ladies from SW visiting here?

Be nice guys; the potential for a truly memorable Con this year is now in your grubby little keyboard callused fingers.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Creamo - pleased to hear that it's working for you. It's bound to work for fat bastages like us. What surprised me was how I lost so much so fast: Two belt-buckle holes down in two weeks. I was out in the garden pulling weeds when my trousers almost fell down. All I did was to cut out carbs: potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, and beer (initially). The real problem was boredom! Meat & salad gets a bit boring, but Tomato feeds me well on meat & veg...

I brought some duty free vodka back from the US (con visit) and it was awful. Have stuck to red wine since.

Just think, Creamo - with your reduced body mass, you'll be able to get smashed on vodka for about half the cost from now on. Still, doesn't take much to get yanks drunk. :lol

Its only refined and simple carbohydrates that can cause trouble.  

A person could eat all the brown rice or whole wheat pasta he wanted and would not get fat.  Complex unrefined carbohydrates are just not dense enough in macro-nutrients to cause obesity.

Foods with high AE (assimilation efficiency) are what causes weight gain:  Meats, oils, whole milk, eggs, nuts, refined grains, simple carbohydrates.

Most unrefined plant foods have an AE of 15-30%.  Meats are around 80% and up.

Go on weight watchers - eat what you like when you like but watch the portions.

I'm sure there's a US version too - you can do it online so you don't have to go to the meetings with all the fat chicks - though some of you might find that a plus...

If you are insulin resistant, that will make you feel hungry all the time.  Some estimates are that 30% of Americans are insulin resistant.  Also known as 'Syndrome X'.
