I've found it very helpful. You might want to give it a gander. B'hatzlacha! I wish you success! 684359@blogcritics.org Tue, 1 Jan 2008 15:59:58 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/29/112447.php#comment-683942 I haven't really been paying too much attention and no one really wants to listen to me talk about dieting, however, looking at your calorie intake I'd say it was sort of low, even for me and I'm under 5 foot. I also think that outside of you Subway sandwich, you were skimping on some important things like dairy (cheese or yogurt) and fruits or vegetables. You might consider looking into the value versus caloric content of foods. For instance, instead of grapes which are high in sugar and also water content, why not eat something with more fiber or nutrients? Something like tomato, carrots or a glass of grapefruit juice would boost the vitamin A and C content of your diet. Also you could easily add spinach to your breakfast. I'm guessing that the Campbell's can probably is higher in sodium than you probably need as well. From what I've observed with free food available at or through work is that people with a weight problem always say yes and always take more than one helping. Take one helping. I always see people taking two when one would do or if you must, save it for the next day. Then perhaps not even backing off on the food intake the next day. I also wondered if you had consulted a doctor about this. Pretty important, IMHO. I have low blood pressure, good bone density for my age and weigh myself every day to make sure I'm neither gaining nor losing weight. 683942@blogcritics.org Sun, 30 Dec 2007 19:39:42 EST
