In fact, it is sugar and starch that makes you fat, not fat itself. Fat is burnt quickly; sugar and starch get laid down as fat. We need to avoid eating too much fat, so that the body will burn sugar and starch.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29809530.post-77133742594276615432013-02-20T12:04:10.233-01:002013-02-20T12:04:10.233-01:00It is not simple - the underlying causes are not s...It is not simple - the underlying causes are not simple, and the solution is not simple either!

And don't get me started on PE! Your description is my school experience also - I now actually get anxious at the thought of exercise as my brain goes in to panic mode as it usually means humiliation/bullying and failure. The whole eat less/move more mantra seems wonderfully simple - but I think all it does is make those who find it difficult (like myself) feel extra stupid that we can't crack this 'simple' process.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11181779562909787836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29809530.post-45160033278947421102013-02-20T11:58:43.633-01:002013-02-20T11:58:43.633-01:00Also I know a lot of people who just can't aff...Also I know a lot of people who just can't afford to do Lighter Life - it is really expensive to do.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29809530.post-59412660828914602522013-02-20T11:56:19.860-01:002013-02-20T11:56:19.860-01:00Thanks for your comment Gillian - I think your sit...Thanks for your comment Gillian - I think your situation illustrates perfectly that weight is not always about over-eating and there are other contributory issues that need investigation by nutritionists and scientists.<br /><br />I was using overweight for BMI between 25 and 30, and obese for BMI of over 30.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29809530.post-36668584455272517892013-02-20T11:53:07.690-01:002013-02-20T11:53:07.690-01:00Than you for this considered piece on weight and w...Than you for this considered piece on weight and weight loss. So many people do not understand what it is like to be fat (don't mince words it is not overweight it is fat) even my mother thinks that all I need do is diet. I really admire what you have done and if I could do the lighter life diet I would but because of my age and diabetes (type 2) no doctor will sanction it. In my fat life I have done every diet under the sun and rarely have I had much of a weight loss and certainly not one I could sustain. My problem is not that I overeat - in fact often it is the reverse because I do not physically feel hunger as such my body claims almost any calories and converts to fat - storing it up in case there is no next meal. Exercise is becoming increasingly more difficult because of arthritis and this exascerbates the weight storage problem because the metabolic rate remains very low. Well done Yvonne with what you have done - I do hope that you can maintain the loss you have acheived. Gillianrevgillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10093498896206305838noreply@blogger.com
