http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/my/advice/willow en-us I know how medication can affect weight. Sometimes that can be adjusted. My husband lost 100 pounds at Overeaters Anonymous. Thats a great place to find support. Also, there is a lot of info @ mercola.com in terms of health.

Your schedule and eating is a bit of a mess, you can sort that all out now! willow Mon, 12 Feb 2007 03:45:41 -0800 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/being_fat_101 63 YES!Biodynamic,organic and sustainable farming is the best. The seeds are not genetically modified and round up ready. The soil is not depleted and is pesticide free. They are not sprayed with any toxins. Strawberries as well as all other veggies and fruits are better, fresher. Know your farmer. I got all my produce from a CSA last summer. I got it the day it was picked off the farm all organic. Yum! willow Mon, 12 Feb 2007 03:37:18 -0800 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/is_it_just_me_or_do_strawberries_taste_better_when_organic_only_5 62 If you have time, go to mercola.com and search "Sally Fallon:. (you can usually find "search" on the page or pull up an article and it should be at the top of the page) Then read "Learn the Danger's of Modern Low-fat Diets" She has researched and has written "Healthy Traditions" and can answer your questions. It's not a quick fix but no diet really is. She will give you a lot of information in her book. willow Mon, 12 Feb 2007 03:22:48 -0800 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/fat_calories_carbs_what_s_the_truth_20 61 My husband lost 100 pounds at Overeaters Anonymous. They are generally a friendly and welcoming group. Your friend might want to do some research on options. Also, there are prob. people there who have had some experience with the surgury. My girlfriend had it. She lost weight, she still has to watch herself and she gets sick when she eats things she is not supposed to have. Things she can't digest. willow Mon, 12 Feb 2007 03:03:09 -0800 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/are_there_substantial_personal_risks_to_the_whole_weight_loss_surgery_thing_6 60 Go to mercola.com and Search Wheat then read More Reasons to Avoid Wheat. There is a lot of information there about bread. What is healthy and what is not. At the end they reccomend some breads you might want to try. Unfortunately, I just gave up bread. I'm making some changes in my diet for health reasons. willow Mon, 12 Feb 2007 02:52:39 -0800 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/is_there_a_whole_grain_bread_that_s_mostly_processes_but_retains_the_goodness_of_whole_grains_3 59
