All it takes is a polite but firm "no thank you." If the food maker can't accept that, then it's their issue, not yours. Never allow someone to guilt you into eating something that's off plan!AnOldHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577752693907982786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-90698593924920858902006-10-10T16:49:00.000-04:002006-10-10T16:49:00.000-04:00I've always subscribed to the concept of "planned ...I've always subscribed to the concept of "planned indulgences". If I recall correctly, it's something out of Dana Carpender's "How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds" book.<br /><br />There are just a few occassions in life that I think warrant such indulgences...your one personal favorite special holiday, your own birthday, vacations, etc. These should be limited to no more than 4 or 5 occassions a year, obviously probably fewer for those actively pursuing weight loss. Your birthday, not everyone else's! That one special holiday every year, not all of them and certainly not Idaho Potato Week or Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day! LOL<br /><br />For me, I happily glide through all the big holidays now feasting thouroughly on all the goodness of a low-carb lifestyle and only let loose once a year for a couple of weeks while on vacation. When I get on the plane to come home, I'm right back on plan and quickly lose whatever I might have gained within a week or so.<br /><br />Even during the planned indulgence, my choices now are very different than they would have been before. I just don't care to eat the blandness of most starchy foods potatoes or most pasta, etc. I will eat some ice cream or sorbet or other desserts, loads of fruit of all kinds and some refined flour breads like croissants or toasted english muffins.<br /><br />That's worked for me, but if you can't handle it without throwing your entire plan into a tailspin, just don't go there!<br /><br />-DavidAnOldHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577752693907982786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-39930898951050275862006-10-10T03:54:00.000-04:002006-10-10T03:54:00.000-04:00I agree Jimmy,

Dr. Ornish talked about only eating a "little bit" of the less healthy foods, but that can be very, very difficult for people who can't show that discipline. Trust me, I KNOW and that's why I avoid those things completely now. My body just doesn't need 'em.Jimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-36717315873472384722006-10-09T08:25:00.000-04:002006-10-09T08:25:00.000-04:00That's because low-carb makes them all so gorgeous...That's because low-carb makes them all so gorgeous, Dave. :DJimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-38944158138884372162006-10-09T04:50:00.000-04:002006-10-09T04:50:00.000-04:00I've noticed a trend, that you blog about attracti...I've noticed a trend, that you blog about attractive females!

For example, those people who have been on medications that interefere with metabolism like anti-depressants, birth control pills, steroids, etc. or who are post-menopausal women and those who want to have concrete information about how many calories they need to consume on a daily basis.<<br /><br />I've had this done and my resting metabolic rate is only 1610 calories a day. Since Celexa makes me hungry 24/7, you can see why I have to count calories if I want to lose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390991269990163088noreply@blogger.com
