Diets, Dieting, Let Me Count The Ways

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Welcome back!

I remember the grapefruit diet, the hot dog diet, the protein diet, the low carb diet, the high carb diet, the I’ll eat anything diet…..I guess you get the idea.

These days many are concerned about the best diet pill available. There are so many pills and diets out there that the list can be seemingly endless. What ever way that you decide to take to lose weight, do not go nuts. A balanced diet, exercise, if you are able to do it, and caution , helps. Some diet pills are said to be a great help, so do not be afraid to check out all of the options when you do decide to diet. One thing that has always bothered me is that some diets are only temporary, some should become a way of life. The individual choices are up to you. You should find the one that is easiest and most healthful for you. Me, I’ll keep trying. :)

Diet

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Yes, I did say diet. As in I need to good one. YECH

My sis has said that the word Diet also has the word ‘die’ in it. Diet just like wait is another ‘four letter’ word. You know, words that you aren’t supposed to say? *snicker*

Well, my blog is called TwoTonTilly for a reason. So yes, I need a diet that works. There are so many items that are advertised that I need to find a good diet pill reviews list. Expensive is not something that can be done. So, inexpensive yet works would be good. I like fish only occasionally, not all the time, I like fresh veggies, too. My main trouble is that I like meat and cheese and bread. Will power is not in great supply with me when it comes to food. That is the main reason why I am large. If they ever came up with a ‘diet’ (shudder) that allowed all of my favorite foods, I would be more likely to stick on it. Meanwhile I will look at what is out there, and ask God to help me not eat as much.:)

Dieting

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

The name of my blog probably tells you that I need to use a diet in my daily life. I’ve tried some. Some are expensive, others a lot of hassle. Either way the word ‘diet’ has connotations with it that make me shudder.

No, I won’t talk about the negative right now. There is enough in the world that makes people sad. Anoretix is another diet pill that is available out there for those who can’t just control the amount of food that is eaten. Hoodia is also mentioned. I wonder just how many diet pills are on the market today?

I wish that there was something that was easy and simple for people like me to use in order to lose weight. Exercise is good to mention, unless your movements are controlled by the presence of pain. Who knows, one of these days there might exist an easy way to accomplish the loss of weight without the pain, pills, diet, and other things that go with losing weight. Until then, I will fumble along and do what I can.

Exercise

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I’ve talked about …dieting - ug. I know that it is necessary, but it ain’t easy. Especially if you are a person who likes food as I do.

I wish there was a magic pill that would help. It does not exist. Exercise is hard for someone with Arthritis. There are good days, and there are bad days. I have a collection of different types of walking sticks in the house. Some days I need them, some days I don’t. I would love to walk in the park down the block from me, but the heat outside would make it very hard. I’ve thought about getting treadmills one for me and one for my husband. It would be like walking side by side. Our main trouble is that there is no room in our house. I saw, on the internet, a site where some house hold cats decided to use the treadmill and it was hilarious, but I’m talking about exercise for the people of the house, not our cats. There has to be something that will work. Just have to keep on looking.

Dieting

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

I know, I know, I said the word dieting. It appears a lot in the news today. The only trouble is that a lot of the diets are fads and do not work, or else they can cause harm.

I have had Weight Watchers mentioned to me. I have also been informed about the Diabetic Diet and shown the different tables of different foods that can be used. So far, my problem seems to be that I have an over-active appetite.

I’ve checked out different diet ‘drugs’ that can be available. Ephedrine used to be referred to a lot until people found out that combining it with caffeine can cause heart stoppage. Eww! That is something to be avoided. I have heard about using a plant that I talked about before; but, I don’t know how it will react with the prescription drugs that I have to take each day.

I have also heard about Phentermine; but, I do not know how it will react with my medicines. One thing I have found out is that a lot of the medicines that we use today originally came from the plants around us. It is fascinating when you check out the history of old time folk remedies. Some were good; many were bad or downright dangerous. Like Laudanum (opium liquid) which used to be used a lot until people found out it was highly addictive and very destructive. Oh well, the best defense is research with each product or diet that you are curious about.

Weight Loss

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

I’ve been thinking. Yep, that happens sometimes.

I need to lose some wight. Well, actually a lot of weight. I’ve tried different diets. You know the one where you eat a small caramel half an hour before your meal. The diet where you eat only protein (I like meat and all, but enough is enough, plus I’m Diabetic - it’s forbidden) is tasty if that’s all you want to eat. My problem is that I like food A LOT.

A buffet is a nightmare for me. Especially if they have a lot of my favorites. It is really hard for me to stop once I start to eat. I have even tried to drink a large glass of water before each meal. I get tired of visiting the bathroom. On TV they talked about something from Africa called hoodia. I would like to know if it works. Something that kills the appetite, for me would be wonderful.

I’ve heard of “The Zone”, what ever that is, South Beach Diet (I hate the word diet. It after all has the word die in it). I wish there was a way to accomplish getting rid of weight that works all the time, for everybody. Maybe it’s out there.
