As I mentioned in my first post: http://startinganewday.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/day-one/ my BMI was 45!
My Current BMI is 36.38, and I have lost 43 lbs. so far!
I watched one of the episodes of the Doctors tonight. It was about will power, the biggest loser, sugar, and four things to avoid. They talked about an experiment where mice that were fed artificial sweetener gained more weight than the ones that ate sugar. I need to look into this more. I do know they mentioned scientists at Purdue University studying an artificial sweetener, I think it was sacerine? Any information on this would be appreciated!
Besides replacing artificial sweetener with honey and agave, the four things to avoid were:
1. Trans Fat, which can be hidden with smaller portion sizes. Look out for “Partially Hydrogenated”.
2. Refined grains, which is usually labeled as enriched.
3. High fructose corn syrup, which may just be labeled as corn syrup.
4. Excessive sodium, which is salt.
