How many diets has Oprah promoted? All failed her.

I recall the short recording when Opy dragged a bag of beef onto the stage. She looked great. Idea was that she lost the amount of fat that was the weight of the beef in her drag bag. She can be gross yet that was effective, as I never recall anything else about her except for her role in Purple.

Intermittent fasting is FREE & EASY. 12/12 .. I lost 52 lbs since Covid .. without exercise due to physical limitations 😀

12/12 is trivial; I am glad it worked for you!

On alternate days I usually fast for 13 hours or 17 hours. I didn't have much weight to lose, but it's nice to be 20 lbs. below my all-time high.

This diet worked for the wife: after all the illness' sparked by bioweapon mRNAs, THEN one of her MDs noticed her fat ankle and said, 'looks like Lymphodema, which she, nor myself, never heard of but then the damn net scared her, and me, big time. Treatment is working and getting better but no cure. ANYHOW, she went on the no oreo, no soda, no pizza and whatever else 'no' she came up with and lost thirty pounds. I'm guessing she's at around 130 and feeling better with the Remicade infusions from the psoriatic arthritis the vaxxes sparked on us. Kicking up dust around here. Still neurotic on the stupid mask thing, though. One thing at a time, one thing at a time. :)

"I've been on a diet for two weeks, and all I've lost is 14 days.

Low-carb, not No-carb, worked for me. My mantra became : Fat doesn't make you fat, excess carbs do.

Atkins solved this 50 years ago. He was vilified and called a quack. Before Atkins, Weston Price and T.L. Cleave solved it. The western diet (refined carbs) causes blood sugar disorder, obesity, diabetes, then atherosclerosis.

Just stop dosing the carbs, folks. (I say while eating pretzels.)

So I would like to share my experience with the Wellness Company. I signed up last December as I wanted a change in my health care delivery system as my existing plan failed me miserably. As soon as I got all signed up and paid, I bought numerous supplements, no issues there. Then I requested a physician telemedicine appointment that is included with the membership, I got a response- we have no doctor for your state. I tried again and again thinking it was new and they were just getting staff together. Months and months pass and still get the same message. Next, I can’t get into my account. It initially was a 4 digit passcode but it wasn’t even offering that signin option anymore. Then I tried my email and I get an error message. I have contacted their help desk multiple times via email with no response. I have written directly to Dr McCullough via America Out Loud. I have written on Truth Social on some of the Wellness Company posts. This got the attention of somebody and she she that they would reach out to me- that never happened. There is no phone number that I am aware of. If anyone can help me reach someone from this company, I would really appreciate it. I want it to be successful but they really need to figure out customer service. Thank you.

No phone contact number feels like marginalization toward customers. You paid a fee for a MD that is not provided for your area, on them. Request a refund or partial refund keeping in mind products that arrived safely. Upsetting to hear this company failing already. I'll asked Christ to look into your entire life situation; just to be on the safe side, with gentleness. (I have to be very careful how I phrase words with him.)

Disagree, my mother was a leader for over 30 years and she loved her classes and the people. The program works. I know because I practice it from time to time. If anything, it teaches you how to read food labels and make better food choices.

The following statement "just eat normal, live active, live normal, sensible, energy in = energy out" begs 4 questions:

1) What food is implied by "eat normal"?

2) How "active" do we need to live, and how do you know if you're "active"?

3) What kind of life is implied by "live normal"?

4) Why do people think the laws of thermodynamics are applicable? and why are they considered actionable?

Here's how I would answer these questions:

1) Normal food is food that uses ingredients and processing methods available 200+ year ago. Note that while sugar and honey were available long ago, the quantities that most people could afford were MUCH lower.

2) This is more difficult to answer. For me personally I use a variety of trackers and set lots of goals, partly because I have loved numbers since before kindergarten. The good news is that if (1) is followed and people stop eating when satisfied, then (2) isn't so important, because our bodies should tell us what we need. If we instead eat food engineered to hit people's bliss points, (2) isn't so important because very few cannot outrun a bad diet, and even marathoners may be metabolically messed up TOFIs.

3) Living normal can include getting enough of the following: sleep, socialization, spiritual meaning, and stress reduction without resorting to alcohol or drugs

4) Human bodies are not closed systems, and Calories In = Calories Out is not an insightful, useful, or actionable concept. Instead the following may help a lot for most people, "Prioritize protein, fuel with fat, and cut carbs". I routinely seek out the fattiest dairy products and tree nuts I can find. Sometimes I add ghee to my tea or salt to my water, and yet my weight drifted down effortlessly and eventually my blood pressure got into the normal range. (With grandparents and parents that had high blood pressure, finally getting BP into the normal range with no meds is a great achievement.)

That is an awesome achievement!! I am trying to do the same myself. Congratulations on getting that blood pressure into healthy ranges with no pharmaceutical.

Deep down we all know what we have to do!! Let’s not kid ourselves. I do agree if you loose some pounds and fall off of whatever program your using and like Dr Alexander said you start to double your intake of calories you will probably pack on way more than previous. Nasty go around. Eat healthy!!!

Invaluable Information!

All I can say is back in the 60's, 70's kids were not as big as they are today. We ate meat, potatoes, all the vegetables and all the healthy food before being hijacked by geoengineering. We had breakfast, lunch at school and always a set time for dinner and a snack at least a couple hours before bed. All moderation. At a time in our lifetime, most families were sitting at their dinner tables around the same time in the evening. Then afterwards enjoy sometime sitting on the porch visiting with neighbors. Those were the days.

Weight Watchers teaches nutrition to people who don't know about it. They give good advice and don't promote the products.

The weekly fee for attending their meetings is reasonable. I don't agree that Weight Watchers is a scam.

Paul have you ever attended a Weight Watchers meeting?

Try it, you might like it.
