I do sometimes find it interesting to pay attention to the portion control of the "skinny people" I know. They can eat a lot less at times.<br /><br />The food diary can be so helpful - WW calls it tracking. It's so easy to forget or even lie to yourself about what you've eaten.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208749664868940281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-49977479254814698602009-08-19T12:42:05.700-05:002009-08-19T12:42:05.700-05:00Annie,

I'm doing well if I can make myself weigh weekly, and I think that's how the documentary approached often - weekly or monthly once you've lost the weight. Like you said, there's way too much fluctuation day-to-day.<br /><br />Re: complex carbs<br />They are basically carbohydrates with high fiber or whole wheat content. It's eating whole wheat or multigrain bread instead of white bread; high fiber cereal instead of cocoa puffs; whole wheat pasta, barley, lentils, wheat berries, brown rice instead of pasta or white rice or a baked potato covered with sour cream, cheese and butter; a small cranberry oat bran muffin or small blueberry, whole wheat scone instead of cakes, pies, danishes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208749664868940281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-22322275139362491982009-08-19T12:36:36.612-05:002009-08-19T12:36:36.612-05:00I'm back from Toronto.

I like seeing the fluctuation, but I do have a specific day of the week/time of day for my official weekly weigh-in.<br /><br />#2 Skinny people eat cake. They just eat it in moderation!<br /><br />#5 I'm walking the stairs at work for mini-exercise breaks during the day. Some days as many 36 flights, but 18 minimum. (24 stairs a flight. Do the math. It adds up!)<br /><br />Not listed, but a food dairy has really changed my perspective on eating and I've seen the pounds coming off since I started keeping one.

It's more exciting and inspiring to me to wait at least three days between weighing because there's more potential for a bigger drop in the number.<br /><br />I found this description and listing of complex carbs:<br /><br />http://www.weightlossforall.com/complex-carbs.htmTrish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-20596186001397947112009-08-17T13:37:39.748-05:002009-08-17T13:37:39.748-05:00I always find the tips so interesting.

Weighing every day is too depressing, especially if you're not losing, or you go up a pound and down a pound. I like the 5 meals a day. I pretty much do that routinely. But i'm not sure about the diet. What ARE complex carbs anyway?<br /><br />Interesting column, Michelle!Annie Solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439330900730765487noreply@blogger.com
