HI AMIE K
I couldn't resist your plea and enthusiasm . I know when I switched from some other message bds. (concerning way(s) of eating) I found this one a little slow or not with as much daily activity, but then came to the conclusion that maybe that was because it does work so well in some ways that TSPers do not need to spend hours trying to search for complicated recipes that leave out any healthy food groups or support to ignore them in our plan -- we just buy whole, unprocessed, foods and use fairly uncomplicated recipes that the whole family can consume also-- so are not in a quandary as to how to get them to eat it! (aren't we lucky? ) That is not to say we do not enjoy some new recipes-- I think variety is important in being healthy.
I do find support here though, when needed. I enjoy the ways that many have found success in so many areas *along* with weight loss. I think most TSP do lose gradually, ( on the scales) but the Dr.'s books state that the purpose is to 'gain health, stop yo-yo dieting for once and all, balance hormones, and lose weight' I know personallly it is *about time* that I do this in that order! instead of losing weight rapidly, getting malnourished, *unbalancing* my hormones, my body trying to regain balance by overeating in a mad dash to regain what I had taken away from it-- and starting the cycle again-- which does not create health.
It is nice to see some daily posting -- I must say -- as I know this is such a good/balanced plan !
