[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 252653, member: 1991"] Thoughts on sugar - because for me, I had to lose weight and nothing else had worked for decades, I had to give it ALL up, at least for a while. Because having ANY sugar makes it easier to have some, and it's vert difficultto quantify "some". Also, your body is used to having sugar and the insulin resistance can't go away while you're having a little bit of sugar regularly. I had been on the diet about four to five months, when husband were out to dinner and I splurged. I had a little of everything I wanted, and then happily had the dessert I wanted. I just took the night off ffrom the diet, and went back to where I would have been, next day. No guilts. But at that stage of the diet, I had to get back to what I had been doing and carry on again. Taking a break from the diet, having a bit of somethnig sweet once a week at the most - it's OK. But if nothing else has worked, you do need to seriously consider cutting out ALL sugar, at least for a while. My exception - two squares of dark chocolate each day, as a "vitamin pill". Plus a calcium pill, plus a multivitamin, because there is no way my diet would be sufficient. Take iron and folate too, if your body tolerates it. Switching to wholegrain - brilliant. Push the fibre. HRT - if you feel your body would benefit from it, then so be it. Nobody has the right to give you grief over it. Frankly, nobody need know, unless you tell them. Marg [/QUOTE]
