Glycemic index works. Eat protein and complex carbs. No refined grains, no sugar, no white rice, no starchy foods, no corn syrup, and no chips. Nuts and fat are OK in moderation. Whole grains are OK. DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!

It's really simple for me. If I stay active and work I stay lean and I feel good. If I'm just sitting driving truck or not doing much at all I put on weight and my back starts hurting. And the harder I work the better I feel.! Weird!? Bad thing is I really don't like to work hard. My eating habits never change. They're pretty much bad no matter what I'm doing.

We were built to move, not sit. And we were built to eat certain foods. It's a one-two punch, not one or other only. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Lots of info folks, thanks. I think I will Exercise and continue eating Like a king but Maybe cut out a few carbs But I like fat and meat way to much to give any of that up. I don't eat sweets or chips/ junk food or soda but I eat A LOT of elaborate meals and a fair amount of whine and beer, I'm not necessarily fat but look well fed, I'm 175 and 5' 8" would like to stay this weight or lose 5-10 pounds.

The answer to your question is “YES!”
These are my opinions so take them for whatever value they may have.
Both are equally important. Eat a healthy diet. To me that means high protein, low fat, low carbohydrates, low sugar, and lots of vegetables.
Also important is lots of exercise doing work inside, outside, in the fields and woods, getting sunshine, cutting splitting and stacking firewood, carpentry and remodeling my home, wildlife habitat improvement work, land management work, going to the gym working out specifically for strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
Also important is the proper amount of good quality sleep on a good bed.
Another huge factor is mental health! Our bodies struggle to be healthy if our minds are unhappy or troubled by stress or worse.

I lost 90 lbs this winter....... Chemo and radiation is sure tough on a person though ha ha Like it was mentioned above if you want to loose weight get off your lazy butt and do something physical ! Leave the 64oz soda alone and drink water, I still like a Dr Pepper like anyone else does but as a reward. But I've got the metabolism rate where I can ride my snowmobile for an hour and loose 2lbs during the winter months with enough snow, or the 4 wheeler when we don't. During my last Dr's visits they told me I can eat anything I want surviving throat cancer and it's treatment is super tough ! So I have learned to graze a little at a time all day long to maintain my weight. Allan

Allan - thank you for your post. Your comments put the rest of this in perspective. I am happy that you survived your ordeal! Life is fragile.
Life is more important than vanity dieting. Although weight and exercise are also critical to life.
Last week my wife had a heart attack and then cardiac arrest right in front of me and a doctor. They immediately started CPR and worked on her for a long time. The ran the maximum on everything to start her heart. Finally they got it started. I was concerned about blood flow and oxygen deprivation causing brain damage. Fortunately they kept both going and she has no brain damage. However, she does have broken ribs from the cpr which is normal. No need for heart surgery. They installed a stint and cleaned out a blockage. Again, life is fragile. Enjoy every day.

Also, along with the info here, look into the thread that Patrice has had going. Several pages long and filled with very good info on the same, many ideas for low carb eating with pictures of meals and recipes posted. Among the most important benefits to the body , that hasn't been mentioned on this one, that is explained in great detail on her thread, is how insulin affects the body in so many vital ways. And how foods directly control the amount of insulin and resulting health. It all goes together in the subjects discussed here , and much more. Good health and weight, without the diseases incurred due to bad lifestyle choices. After the initial results and system management are in place and running smoothly ,enjoyment of carbs or other foods are generally ok , in moderation. Keeping your girlish figure is all icing on the cake results.

What about diet pills, appetite suppressant like phentermine Bandaid fix They can help to lose but if a total commitment is not developed the weight comes back. I don't trust any drug or supplement for its claims. Truth is no one really knows what's in them for ingredients. Some are harsh on your organs. FDA has banned most that were effective. I would recommend staying away from drugs and develop and committ to a a new lifestyle plan
