ohmigod - i weight myself for the first time yesterday in months ( i have an electric scale and thats how long it takes me to change the batteries - months!) and i was not happy with the results :-( i thought i lost weight cuz ive been eating more salads and exercising more.... anyway, this is ridiculous, ive never weighed this much and i dont like myself this way :-( anyway, so ive been using my george foreman grill - grilling up chicken breast and making salad for myself, which has been delicious and ive really enjoyed (even if ur not in the mood for salad, that great smell of somethin grillin' puts u in the mood) - what are some recipes you have for healhty meals?? im tryin to stay away from rice and pasta too.... thanks guys!

thanks for the tips mocha :) im just trying to get my step 1 exam outta the way... im hoping iA when i start rotations in july that i will lose weight by watching what i eat and tryin to exercise everyday.... im hoping it will be a lot easier cuz at least i wont be on my butt all day in lecture or studying! it was so hard to maintain my weight during the first 2 yrs of med skool.... i too dont have time to make every single one of my meals... but im goin to try to be healthy from here on out iA.. hey, btw, you know almira? i went to college with her :)

i started using mine as well! its awesome! i love grilled chicken on my salad... mmm.... wow... 4 miles... i can barely run a block without panting ;-)

wasnt it hard to follow?

its not just carbs versus protein. 1300 calories of protein will get you just as sure as 1300 calories of anything els. you need to make sure your caloric intake is below your caloric usage everyday. check the portions. consumption of more than 4 oz of meat at a time is not helpful. fruits ARE not good if you are trying to avoid carbs. Fruit has fructose which is unprocessed sucrose. They arent empty calories but they will add to glycogen stores if you dont burn off the calories. find low carb or no carb foods you can tolerate and search the web for recipes. good luck

What is also important, in addition to limiting carbs, is increasing fruits and veggies - esp before your real meal - helps you fill up on stuff that is GOOD for you.

Also, like Oprah says, don't put anything in your mouth - not even a grape - 3 hours before you set your bedtime! that has made a difference for me, and it means eating dessert at lunchtime!

good luck

exercise wise: i love pilates and jump rope.
