Set Point Weight Loss – A review

Exercise – 5 days a week for one hour of moderate intensity exercise.

Eat lots of complex carbohydrates – Fresh fruits, vegetables in abundance including potatoes, lots of whole wheat bread. Stay away from any refined carbohydrates, such as white flour and sugar.

Decrease consumption of fat – Especially read meat. Try to eat more boneless, skinless chicken and turkey.

Drink plenty of water – If one drinks anything but water and skim milk, it’s called faulty drinking. Avoid any soft drinks like the plague.

No hunger snacking – Eat only healthy snacks like air popped pop corn and raw vegetable, but only when you are hungry.

Satiety – (Shay-sha-tee) Eat three meals a day and after at least one of them, be fully satisfied.

Programming language – There’s a lot of mental work involved with set point weight loss. One might need to re-program. The programming language of the human body is visual imagery.

Here are the set-point scores for this week:

Rhonda: (S) 100 (S) 94 (M) 95 (T) 100 (W) 100 (Th) 85 (F) On track for 100

Bill: (S) 100 (S) 100 (M) 100 (T) 100 (W) 100 (Th) 100 (F) on track for 100

And the bottom line is this: Both Bill and Rhonda lost one pound this week. Rhonda is down to 234 pounds and Bill is down to 240 pounds. Bill is now at the same weight he was when he had brain surgery over 14 years ago.

This blog will take a break in August, but Bill and Rhonda will not take a break from their set point weight loss program. So next week will be the last post for a little while.
