The Scarsdale Diet (Your view?)

i can poop 6 lbs. on a good day

Personally, I've never had the time to connect a scale to the toilet, so I'll just take your word on that.

TMI I know but after the birth of my son I had extreme constipation. Nothing helped!!! Couldn't go for 3 weeks. Then eventually I decided to use Colon Prep (the stuff they give you before a colonoscopy. It work like hell, I woke up 12 lbs lighter the next day
I had a maid at the time and when she saw me in the morning she said : Mam, what happened? You went to bed fat and woke up skinny

Having most of the same health problems as you have Odette, I will tell you which diet the Clinicians in my life have agreed upon: The DASH Diet I am happy with this one. It's a diet for folks with high blood pressure, so you can be liberal with the sodium requirements if you don't have high BP.

I didn't know it had a name--that's pretty much how I eat minus the sweets and I really don't eat that many servings of grains every day. But I do get a lot of servings of veggies, just not a lot of fruits--I'm working on that, and fiber.

"In addition to being recommended by your physician, DASH is also endorsed by:

• The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (one of the National Institutes of Health, of the US Department of Health and Human Services)
• The American Heart Association (AHA)
• The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
• US guidelines for treatment of high blood pressure
• The 2011 AHA Treatment Guidelines for Women
• The Mayo Clinic."

From the link I provided.

I got angry with my care team and told them to get together somehow and decide what diet to follow since I could not follow all their recommendations separately and have anything nice to eat. I also gave them the list of things I WOULD NOT eat, like artificial sweeteners, etc.

I've looked up a few sample menus from this diet. Sounds yummy and easy

Very glad I don't have hypertension though! I love salt I do use celery salt most of the time, at least it's got less sodium in it

i can poop 6 lbs. on a good day, but it depends on your size.

Apparently I can poop 10 lbs
Had a bit of a tummy upset on Monday. Weighed myself today and I'm 10 lbs lighter

Maybe I wasn't over my ideal weight, just full of sh!t!

if you're healthy at 100 lbs., 6 lbs is a decent amount.

at a healthy 200+ lbs, it can be lost in a few weeks with little effort.

weight is a perspective thing. don't lose the weight hecause ypu think you pook better or fit your jeans. control your weight (bmi, really) depending on your overall health since you have other factors in play.

I always check my BMI and the 125 lbs I want to be is perfect for my height and bone structure. I'm tall but I have a small frame. Don't want to go below 125.

My weight has stabilized after Monday's bug. I'm on 123 lbs. 2 lbs less than I was aiming for.
Weight loss mission is over and it only took 6 days. All I did was cut out some of my bread and follow some of the guidelines from the Dash Diet.
I'm a happy camper Now just to keep it off and stay between 123 and 125.

just don't poop...

It it amazing what cutting back on the bread does...good for you. And, ditto what BT said .

That can be arranged

It is! Thank you for reminding me
I was only overweight once in my life, the year in lived in Barcelona. When I came back I lost the 45lbs I gained in 3 months just buy swapping white bread for 100% rye bread and limiting by bread to 2 slices per day.

Maybe I've got some form of wheat intolerance?

I can't even look at white bread or pastry without gaining weight but I can eat tons of meat, fruit, veg and dairy without gaining an ounce
