Extreme metabolic health?

One cannot get fat eating fat.

How do you figure that?

Lots of research, Rob. Our bodies have a tendency to store carbs (sugar) far more than fats. I think it was Atkins that proved we can lose weight by ingesting meat instead of carbs or starches. It's just not good for us in the long run. We do seem to need a certain amount of fat in our diet or we do not heal as well (personal experience). From what I have read, this is the basis for the Keto diet. That has proven to be unsafe over long periods since it can lead to ketosis. Generally, when anyone gets into ketosis, the breath will smell like flowers. Consumers Reports indicated that the best overall weight loss was through Weight Watchers.

Forgot -- the research was not on the internet. We are diabetic so I consulted with 2 dietitians (also spelled dieticians), two doctors and one medical book. Really learned a lot. Now, if I just had the will power to say no to the wonderful Christmas goodies my wife is cooking. She makes the world's best fudge and heavenly peanut brittle.

I feel ya! Laura just made a batch of Danish/Mexican (they go by a number of nationalities) wedding cookies. The four ingredients are flour, sugar, butter and vanilla. All the major food groups represented!

Which is why this topic is in the "Off Topic" forum.

HERBALIFE, that’s all. Best all around healthy way to loose it.

terryriddle - you need to look at the title of this section. Diet IS a part of the RV lifestyle.

I lost 50 lbs a year and a half ago on keto, even when traveling and not exercising. Lost more and felt better when exercising. Now I have to throw in some (a little) sugar and starch to maintain weight. I always thought the BMI index they published was wrong, turns out it was right all along. Who’d a thought.
