I think talking about specific weight loss plans is the big no no. I got in trouble once for talking about eating vegetarian, but that was way back in the day when we had lots of moderators. I also got in trouble for referencing the Body for Life program and WW.
A few years ago I was allowed to discuss foods and supplements (another big no no) that my naturopath recommended to fend off osteoporosis. Those osteo discussions were permitted. These days, who knows? |

I can’t relate to a 2-pound problem because, like Joni, that’s what my weight fluctuates throughout the day. My pre-breakfast weight is 2 pounds lower than my post-dinner weight. I did want to say, though, that eating a Mediterranean diet has made all the difference in the world to me. I lost a lot of weight and no longer have my “old lady stiffness”. It feels so good. I think the biggest factor of the diet that’s made a difference is cutting back on added sugar. I used to be the kind of person that put a ton of sugar on my cereal and I love cake and cookies and doughnuts, etc. Now I mostly satisfy my sweet tooth with “nature’s sugar” - bananas and berries and pears and peaches, etc. I was talking to a friend about cutting sugar and she told me she already eats a low sugar diet. Then she added up grams of added sugar one day and discovered she had consumed 90 grams of added sugar. I said, “Great - only 4X the daily RDA!” LOL
