I have never tried the diet, but I know lots who

have, including my DH.  I have never known anyone to keep the weight off once they come off the diet.  While there have been various studies as to healthiness/unhealthiness of the diet, I don't see how eating high fat foods came be healthy.  I do know that the diet throws your body into a ketosis, which gives you terrible breath.  When my DH was on the diet I asked him not to talk while in the car because his breath smelled so bad.  He worked with a woman who said she wondered why people would back away from her when she talked.


I think low carb is a good idea, but I don't think high fat is a good idea.  I'm not a nutritionist, just makes sense.

You can find some links on this page - docs and others.
Re your comment on CS's site/links
The reason the companies listed don't have MTec and Andrews showing is because they are being posted on CS's webpage and are being paid!! And Not only that YOU get paid some type of commission for being an affiliate, right?? Come on... you CS guys are becoming indentured servants working before graduation for these companies... with the enticement of getting a job with them. How much would they have had to pay a non-student MT to produce this work??? Also take a look at CS's "Board" -- all business people in it for the buck it looks like to me -- how many of them have been MT's LOL...(and also of the same religious affiliation...)it appears more like a telemarketing site. I believe Michele A. started this company out with good intention, but now it appears the company is in it for the buck -- Sorry if I've offended anyone, but that's my perspective. MTec and Andrews not only have their reputations, but they have class and style!!


"The industry has definitely jumped on-board with Career Step, which has the other schools scrambling. You can visit Career Step's page about industry partners to learn more: www.careerstep.com/site/type=mt/page=companiesrecommend-mt (Click on the links, and see for yourself which school leading MTSO's refer you to for training. If even one of them recommends Andrews or mtec, I'd be surprised
You'd find links to some good ones on this site

try a raw diet
First have your dog's liver enzymes checked, also the pancreas. Someone told me that toxins come out through the dogs ears, especially labs. Then, check into a raw diet for your lab. Believe it or not, chicken wings, chicken necks, or turkey necks - raw - and raw fruits and vegetables (no onions or grapes). My sister's lab has pancreas problems, his ears smelled awful, and the vet was no help. She checked out raw diets and her dog has been doing fine for the past two years. Her lab has the most beautiful white teeth, no smelly ears, very little gas, lost weight, and is happy. As a last resort, try BeanO. (PS, if you want to stick to a kibble food, try Flint River Ranch - that is what I feed my dog).
Okay! So much for my diet! I'm going to try it!
  Sounds yummy!
diet !
Your way sounds a lot more appetitizing than the Healthy Choice dinners I am living on!  SO boring, but I have lost 10 pounds in 10 days!  Only 18 to go!  And I too am walking 2-3 times a day which really seems to help.  Once with the dog (he is pokey!) and then by myself so I can walk fast.
Diet
Funny you asked that because with my medical background, I know that what you eat can have a big influence on how you feel. I also have hypoglycemia so I should be eating well.

I honestly do not have an appetite. I didnt eat anything at all yesterday and the day before I ate 4 chicken nuggets from Wendys.

This morning I feel a little hungry so I will probably eat some rice and black beans. I have that and oatmeal. Its cheap and filling.

I used to eat like crazy... now I don't eat at all. I used to get sick when I felt kind of dizzy from not eating after a few hours. Now I've gotten used to the feeling and having really low blood sugar makes it hard for me to concentrate on one thing but I can't get food stamps because I don't have any kids or anything. All well... Anyway, that's what I've been eating.
Meat in your diet?
That is a misconception that we need meat in our diets, we do not need meat at all, there are many other sources of protein out there to substitute for the meat, please go to the many vegitarian sites for more information.
try a low sodium diet

When I was first diagnosed, I went on a strict 2 gm sodium diet.  It is amazing how much salt is in foods.  My ENT gave me a small booklet I could fit in my pocket to carry around with me to count sodium.  It reduced the amount of fluid in my ears, which lessened the vertigo and the tinnitis.  The shocking part was that I lost 20 pounds without trying!  I never went hungry at all.  I felt better than I had in years.


I have also found that keeping my sinuses clear helps with a lower level of tinnitis.  Wine intensifies it


good luck,

How long have you been on the diet?
?
OTC diet pills
My daughter was able to lose about 10 pounds on Dexatrim - that is before they had to change the formula - our best results have been with Atkins for quick weight loss - 7-14 pounds in a week in our family. Lots of meat and cheese - and no cheating.
So does diet soda.
Just kidding
Anyone try Shangri-La Diet sm
Just wondering if anyone has heard of or tried the Shangri-La Diet..  and if so what did they think about it?   Did you lose any weight?   Just curious, need to lose that 20 pounds.. or so... 
Anybody out there taken any of the new diet pills with
Just curious if any of these work or if they are a scam like most others.  If anyone has taken any pills that work let me know.   (I know they are not good for you)
Liquid Diet
My brother-in-law lost a lot of weight doing a liquid diet (not sure for how long, though), but he gained most of his weight back.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.

It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.

We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.

It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
yeah, know that...this diet was only for four days...
no salt, etc. but it works.  Called the "four day wonder diet."  Could not, would not do this for more than that! Yukky, no flavor. But it kicks in the fat burning thing...  Thanks for your support....Back to some "tasty" "live-it" foods!  :)
cofee....diet pepsi...

Smash the Fat ... aka Take-Control Diet sm

The name of his book is Take-Control Diet, and there is a sample menu on the VH1 site that lists chicken breasts and sirloin, so ...... not too scary


 


MEET ON DIET BOARD???!!!
This is excited to hear so many on and starting out with this diet.  I am starting a thread on the diet board so we can keep track of progress!!!  This will be great support!!!
South Beach Diet
I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
South Beach Diet
When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.

I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
Anyone tried the Nourish Nutrisystem diet? sm
If so how fast did you lose? Were the foods good?  Were you hungry?  I am leaning towards this program.  The pictures I have seen are GREAT!  The food looks good and you get to pick and choose what you want.  It is costly but if it works it would be well worth it....thanks!
South Beach Diet sm
beel ala orange with brown rice and broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots...only thing is, they forgot the brown rice...I am still hungry. yarrr.
Doctor's Choice Diet
Anyone been on this diet?  I called and they said it is a diet plan and some kind of a hormone shot that you have to get once a week.  Sounds scary to me.
diabetic diet question
Can someone please send me an 2000 calorie ADA diabetic diet?  I have searched and cannot find just a diabetic diet.  We just found out that my hubby has to start taking insulin. 
If you would try the Sugar Buster diet you'd

be surprised at the energy you will have.   You'll notice a difference in about 3 days.  I'm fixing to start it again because while I get up fine in the morning, after about 2 hours I hit a wall and it takes me about 2 hours to get past it where I can work again.   The only problem is I still have 2 hours left in my morning shift when I hit that wall so need to be working. 


 


Anyway the diet will give you lots of energy - similar to being on energy drinks, it will be healthier for you and if you need to lose a few pounds you can do that too. 


Have you thought of liquid diet? - sm
I found a great site a few years ago, liquiddietdiscussion.com and they sell something similar to Optifast though it tastes a million times better and is cheaper. I have done NS too. I have about a 2 month supply of both right now, and think I may do a liquid diet for months then transition to the Nutri-Systems for return to real food part and to train myself how to eat right. I have about 70 pounds to lose too to get down to my proper weight, though some of it may be from a medical problem (waiting on blood work now, will know on Friday), but figure in order to get a quick result a liquid diet for 1 to 2 months should give me the jumpstart I need and hack off at least 40 pounds in 2 months if not more. Check it out and discuss it with you doctor. Good luck.
Liquid diet for 1 to 2 months?!
I don't think I could do it for 1 to 2 days, let alone that long?!

Don't have time to look for more, but one time in school we had cheap glass bulb ornaments and we wrote our name and year on them with glue and then sprinkled with glitter.  You could probably get bulbs/glitter at dollar store.


You might also want to go the dollar store and look for craft kits.  I buy kits every year from a craft store and they usually make 6-12.  If the tables in the room were in groups you could just take a paper plate and pour 1 kit out on each and they could share, or you could divide up the items into a baggie and make copies of the instructions.


You could take bagels (from the bakery outlet stores and cheap) and smear with peanut butter and then press in bird seed, attach some thread and hang on a tree near their classroom - unless you are wanting them to have something to take home.  Can also use pine cones for this.


Buy some plain gingerbread man cookies and tubes of frosting and sprinkles and let them decorate them.

If you’re going to test people through actual dictation, I recommend that you make sure they all transcribe one report by the hardest dictator you have. If they can do that, then they’ll have no problem doing anyone else you have.

i did not get all the links until i (sm)
