It is going against everything we've always been told. Then I read Gary Taubes' book, "Why We Get Fat". If you haven't read it you really should. It gives a lot of scientific evidence to support what you're doing as being healthier. You can also read his article from the NY Times if you want a shorter read. I think your sister should read it :)<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html?pagewanted=all&src=pmTrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175845313649815295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-51065854960920489782012-03-29T15:24:15.430-07:002012-03-29T15:24:15.430-07:00You had me until the wine part! Hahaha! You know ...You had me until the wine part! Hahaha! You know me and my wine. I like this lifestyle because I enjoy my wine and it allows it. Maybe if you have a lot of weight to lose, you shouldn't drink wine because it will take extra time to take the weight off, but it really hasn't affected me too much. I'm sure I'd lose more weight and get into a size 4 if I stopped the wine, but then I wouldnt be enjoying what I love so I'll be happy with my wine and my size 6 jeans (which need to be a size 4 but they didn't make them in that size ;). Hope you don't find this contradictory (not trying to be) just trying to find what works best for me and my crazy hectic life.<br />Carey<br />PS-My bloodwork was worse than before the BFC, but that's because I haven't been exercising/walking as much as I used to (work.....ugggghhh!) I've also stopped the bacon and mostly eat lower fat meats and cheeses that fit into the program.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-32298319200502923492012-03-29T11:17:50.576-07:002012-03-29T11:17:50.576-07:00I just got my blood work back and am able to compa...I just got my blood work back and am able to compare it with my tests just a week before I started BFC. I was a little nervous because a lot of the BFC goes against what we have been told about cholesterol our whole lives. It was all greatly improved and I'll post about it when I have more time. There is NO WAY anyone could say you aren't healthier now than you were 2 years ago - that is insane!

Your posts are really inspiring to me. I love that you share things like your bras! So I wanted to share something with you. I rarely used to wear skirts because when I wore nylons or tights my legs would rub together and create a painful rash. Well I am in the chorus in a musical and have lost 20 pounds since January. I wore nylons last night for my show and it didn't happen! Of course I love how I look after losing but some of the little things like this make me SO happy. Could you update my weight? I am now 155. Thanks!

With the BFC you can choice to eat unhealthy things like bacon or high fat foods that I think are not the best but like you, can choose to eat the healthier foods. Just have to do what is right for you and dont let what other people say get under your skin.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962640254845538044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-53522174451081433732012-03-28T19:45:11.085-07:002012-03-28T19:45:11.085-07:00I've been following you for a year and have do...I've been following you for a year and have done BFC most of that time. At first I lost weight and then had to keep cutting more and more carbs. I became exhausted. I had no energy whatsoever. I read Jay Robb's book, "Fat Burning Diet" and he had tried both a low carb diet and a low fat (high carb) diet. With the low carb eventually he says you are exhausted because your body needs carbs for energy. With the low fat diet you are hungry all the time. His alternative was to eat low carb one day and high carb (healthy carbs) the next day. He says you keep your energy and can still lose fat. He would help people build up their bodies for weight lifting and then help them get the fat off so they only had 5% body fat. You lose fat instead of water. I have been trying it and it goes slowly like the BFC, but I do not have as much body fat. He also recommended doing strength training on low carb days and walking or aerobics on high carb days. <br />I saw Dr. Oz talk about low carb diets one day and he said that if that is the way that you can get it off, the benefits of getting it off outweigh some of the risks. I have read that it is hard on a person to be on a low carb diet for long periods of time. <br />Just some thoughts...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-42785085072671989612012-03-28T18:59:27.294-07:002012-03-28T18:59:27.294-07:00I agree..OH brother!

I don't know how she can complain about how you eat now. If you're tired, it likely has more to do with a food sensitivity that you don't realize you have rather than the diet itself. I'm telling you, as I have removed foods that I have a sensitivity to, that I had NO IDEA I was even sensitive to, my energy level has sky rocketed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
