i'm a big stevia fan as well for the last 10 years or so

I was trying to explain to a coworker the connection of bone density loss to consumption of dairy products.

I don't understand why people cling onto eating habits like they are a religion. Historically people have never consumed as much fat and dairy products anytime in our history. We are seeing the health consequences, but people still deny it?

The top three dairy consuming countries have the highest rates of osteoporosis.

After looking at 34 published studies in 16 countries, researchers at Yale University found that countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis--including the United States, Sweden, and Finland--are those in which people consume the most meat, milk, and other animal foods.

That's not surprising, around here we eat a ton of the stuff, I have to make sure I get plenty of calcium the old fashioned way because the surgery I had makes it harder for me to absorb vitamins. I try to get all my nutrition through whole foods instead of pills, my vitamin levels are more stable that way.

I try to focus on protein and vegetable intake. I barely eat carbs anymore and when I crave them, I give in because usually my cravings are an indication of malabsorption of one thing or another. I may go weeks without any bread or pasta then go through a loaf every few days.

I got sick recently having digestive issues and intestinal pain. So...
Stopped all dairy and got feeling much better. Cutting dairy out I lost 10 lbs.
I Got kinda scared to eat the stuff and stopped eating a lot of things.
I feel so much better now.

Weight loss is hard, especially as you get older.
I Really have to really try and be disciplined and determined if I want to achieve my goals.
I Just stopped fuckin eating so much and I saw results. Felt the hunger pains and did not give in.. lol. throw exercise in there 2 and you will see the weight melt off.

To get the fat off faster , do a lot of reps on the machines at the gym, don't take breaks, go from one machine to the next with no breaks. It doesn't have to be heavy weight if you do a lot of reps. To spice things up you can add some aerobics like the bike, treadmill or stair stepper in between reps, but you have to be continuous with your routine and do it for at least 30 minutes. Weight lifting burns more fat because it ramps up your metabolism better then just aerobics. Weight lifting gets your metabolism going longer and harder all day, unlike an decently hard aerobic routine.

I have been finding some really great workouts on you tube that are specific for the areas of my body Im looking to tone up a bit more. Fitness Blender has some great workouts.

Good Luck everyone and I hope your able to achieve your goals!

I weighed myself the other day for the first time in a month.

The only thing I changed was my diet since I got home. Cut out the majority of processed foods and dairy.

Without any significant weight loss routine I've lost about 5 pounds in the last month and a half.

I eat all the time too

Congratulations Balzac89 thats great!

I stopped worrying about my weight awhile ago and just try to focus on eating whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
If you eat right no worries about weight gain.
