why is it so hard to follow this rule: Eat only when you're hungry and stop when you're full!! if i could do that i wouldnt have needed to lose 25 pounds to begin with!! i know i eat healthy pretty much 99% of the time, but i binge on the good foods!! like zero-carb ice cream, and yes yogurt even though all of you tell me i can binge on that. but i just read an article that said lactose is just as bad as sucrose!! i need to stop binging and get my eating under control!!!

Hi!!! I hope you are feeling better now.. I lurk here a lot, but usually don't post. I did feel I had to say something though. First.. DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP LIKE THAT!!! I wouldn't call eating 'an occasional';) ice-cream or yougurt binging.. if you are hungry you should eat.. If I learned anything in my weeks lurking here is that snaking, from the foods to enjoy list, between meals when you are hungry is not only OK, but a must.. You are not supposed to go hungry.. if you do, you'll only end up with your face in the fridge reaching out for the first available container.. and it will not be a healthy one either.. That is one of the things I like most about this WOE. I have been overweight my entire life.. seen doctors, nutrition experts, fitness and exercise, and I've been in almost every fad diet that is around, astrounaut (sp?) diet, the scardsdale Diet, grapefruit, lemon, associate or disociated (I forget what that one was about).. Anyway.. To the point.. the fact that eating when you are hungry is encouraged has kept me on it for a while.. However, if you feel you are eating too much... why don't you post a menu.. the cl's are great at finding the little things that might be giving you a problem..

..... You are free to disregard what I am about to say, because I am not a nutition expert or anything.. but Lactose is a type of sugar, however, the benefits a person gets from milk cannot be compared to the ones (are there any??) found in sugar or other glucose filled products.

I hope you feel better

Hi,


First of all, I would like to welcome Cath to the board! You gave Kerry some great advice. You are so right that NOT eating causes us to graze and make bad choices.


Lactose is the naturally occurring sugar in all dairy. It is low on the glycemic index,
