T?hat’s exciting news!

Great!!!

Hi Allison!  Yep.  Every Monday.  I’ll be on tomorrow at 6:00 PM PST.

I hear you:  gaining weight–or even just maintaining an overweight frame–does get old.  Literally.  It ages you.  So let’s get it off!  And I really believe that when you dive into the program head first and endure a few days of hunger as you reset your hungerstat you will fe…[Read more]

Remember, Gayle:  With every breath you are losing weight.  The ONLY way you lose fat is through breathing.  If you are breathing, you are losing fat.

Salt can cause you to retain water, granted, but walking/exercising will make you hungrier and you will end up eating more carbon that what you blow out.  Try–as hard as it is–to not give int…[Read more]

Yes indeed!  You can do the diet anywhere, anytime, and it’s … fun!  Exciting!!

You got it, Gayle!  You’ve got everything lined up in order.  Now let’s do it and do it perfectly!

I have to admit, I like the KIND bars as well.  

Wow!!  It is so wonderful to “see” you again, Letileti!    It looks like you have been maintaining your weight beautifully!  Great job!!

Looks good!!

This all sounds good, Shelly.  Do the backwards counting if that helps.  But I want to emphasize that losing weight, and the process of losing weight, feels REALLY good.  Better, in fact, than the eating could ever make you feel.  Believe me, and then prove it to yourself.

Hi Shelly.  I’m not sure I understand the question, but yes: back surgery is painful.  You will hurt because of the surgery, and because of the extra weight that you are putting on the are of injury.  To boot, extra fat promotes inflammation, and the EXTRA inflammatory cells that have invaded the area of repair release cytokines that further ca…[Read more]

So, let’s see what you can do this first week.  Are you up for the challenge?  How hard can you push yourself?

Hmm.  I’m not getting my messages.  I’m so sorry about that.  I’m going to have to ask Chris what’s going on.  Thanks!

I love the sound of that, Katie!

How are you doing, Shelly?

BTW, did either of you get my messages?

That should be fine, Dennis.  Diltiazem at that dose should control heart rate without dropping your blood pressure too far.

Super!  I look forward to it!
