I suspect he means those products marketed as diet food (low fat processed foods for example) or in many diet programs that have their "buy our food" requirement. The "diet" portion of the meal isn't satisfying so they have twice or three times the listed portion of that processed food. I find more problems with the dieting plans that have you skip normal foods to eat tuna fish and apple sauce (or whatever weird "eat only this") for two weeks. Then the usual response is to binge on the forbidden foods. Cindy Wells (in college, I saw a bunch of stupid dieting. However, I haven't gotten anyone to come to my wonderful "gym alternative". It's tough to find people who want to work on a hay farm (aerobic exercise, weight training and weight loss likely). Even our primary tractor operator can't eat enough to maintain weight during the haying period. Working on the ground can have me hitting 10,000 steps around noon when I can safely wear the pedometer (not when I'm handling bales).)

A city Manager I used to know was trim and in his late fifties. He said he took his plate, put a potion of all of the foods on the table, ate it and left the table. When a person is in constant pain or plain lonely, They seem to eat too much. All we can do here is reinforce the eat less thing. That has a problem in creating guilt in some.

Since I was diagnose Type 2 I've believed that "the input must match the output" - the food you eat must be contered with an equivalent workout (at work I often joke that even as a diabetic I could eat a large pizza - but that I would have to ride 50 - 60 miles on my bicycle to work it off). In my more carefree, more "eat what you want and how much you want" days before I was diagnosed, when I had already unknowingly developed diabetes, what I believe saved my goose (getting complications) is lifting hundreds of heavy bricks, hauling buckets of concrete and digging scores of post holes and stump holes. Needless to say, I haven't had a pizza since before I was diagnosed............ I would need to do more riding than I'm prepared to do, Cindy! Many "weight reduction programs" are sold on a "eat what you want" and "don't work hard" implication, to take people in...... I don't think such a "quick fix" exists. Henry Mydlarz.

He has an extremely stressful job. So he eats more than he knows he should, despite being very much aware of the consequences. Henry Mydlarz. |
