My First Poem

"A wonderful bird is the Pelican,
because his mouth can hold more then his belly can,
and I wonder how the heck he can."
I learned that in 7th grade in Holland.
I love sitting on the beach or the pier here and watching these wonderful birds to their thing.
They just make me smile.


I don't know if you can see,but they are having a small meeting of sorts in the mangroves.
Breakfast;
3 scrambled eggs with onion, made in some coconut oil.
I figured a Pelican picture might be more fun this morning then scrambled eggs.

Hi Bill,

I'm glad you enjoy the site and I hope you get a lot out ofit and you continue to check it out.

It is really difficult for any of us to give you advice with out knowing a little more detail about you. For example, how much do you eat per day? How much do you exercise per day? Do you sit at a desk all day? How old are you? How long have you been trying to loose weight? You lift weights, but how and what protocol? etc etc etc.
The little bit of advice I can give you is this; don't make it any more complicated then this. Eat whole foods and move your body daily. Walk a lot! and don't be afraid to feel a little hungry on certain days. Don't cheat. Maybe check e-diets.com or similiar sites and get a detailed daily menu for yourself.
Does that help any?

Bill,
As someone who is familiar with Atkins, and someone who lost over 40 pounds following Mark Sisson's advice, I'd like to throw in something here. You mention sticking to 20grams of carbs a day which is what is prescribed during the Atkins induction phase. For the past nine months, I've kept carbs to around 80 grams and still lost a lot of weight. You still have to watch the number of calories you take in, and they can mount up fast if you eat a lot of meat. You might want to try eating a lot of vegetables and back off on the protein. Like Marc said, there are a lot of variables, but I think this might be something that would help.

Great input Dave!

when you are trying to lose weight you need to watch the calories, eventhough you might be eating very healthy.
Take a look at Dr. Eades protein powder site. He has a great post adressing this issue. It's extremely easy to quickly snack away 300-400 calories. And that's the little drop that overflows the bucket.
