There are probably more misconceptions about fat than any other macronutrient. Dr. Weil explains why “fat does not make you fat” and shares which fat sources are the most conducive to optimum health.

I have been married almost a year to a man with an incredibly fast metabolism. He recently got a new job working 12 or so hours a day. His job is physically demanding so he is usually very hungry when he comes home. I love cooking for him, and I make him hearty meals.
Now the problem…
Before we were married I was able to stick to a pretty restrictive and healthy diet that allowed me to keep my extra weight off. (I struggled with my weight years ago.) Now that I am married I cook heartier meals and we have food around I never would have eaten before. I have gained nearly ten pounds, and I don’t want to gain more. Ideally I would lose what I’ve gained.
We have very different needs as far as quantity, and I know I should work on portion control.
I am looking for some good, practical tips to help me keep from gaining more without making my husband suffer.
My question again was about diet cooking tips and there have been some great answers

I have been trying to get back into shape and eat healthier, but money has been really tight lately and I can’t afford to always by fresh fruits and veggies, and other expensive health foods. All i have been eating lately is pasta, hamburger helpers, canned food, pizza, cereal, and basically anything easy and cheap. It is not a very healthy diet and it make it hard to lose Weight, and I probably do not get any nutrients from this current diet. I would like to know if anyone has any tips on how to improve my diet without going broke. I usually cook for two.

I just inherited her a few days ago. She spent 9 days in the house alone before anybody found her and she lost 20lb. But she is still over weight. Her owner fed her a lot of people food, and I’m have problems feeding her dog food. She can’t seem to eat kibble, and she won’t eat most wet foods. I want her to have a healthy diet so I’m going to start cooking her meat and veggies. Any tips on which would be the best for her, or any vitamins I should be adding into the food?
She has joint problems(we have medications for that) and has very weak legs. Can’t stand up on her own, but once she is up she can walk. I’ve been taking her on short walks and she’s been improving, I don’t have to lift her up the step to the house any more. And on top of that she has skin problems. She’ll bites at one spot specifically and it’s balled from it. I want to make sure she is happy and healthy.

Answer true or false for questions 1-10 and I will award ten points to the one who gets the most correct and give the explanation for the answers!
1. True or false: Milk is a great source of calcium.
2. True or false: Most kinds of dark chocolate contain anti-oxidants and are actually healthy in small doses.
3. True or false: High fructose corn syrup is almost exactly like sugar.
4. True or false: Diet soda is a healthy way to avoid lots of sugar and calories.
5. True or false:Organic green vegetables cost more mainly because they cost more to produce.
6. True or false: Cholesterol rich foods are very bad for your health.
7. True or false: Margarine is a healthy alternative to butter.
8. True or false: You can replace whatever nutrients you are missing by taking your typical supplements?
9. True or false: Hot dogs are only bad for you if they aren’t 100% beef.
10. True or false: Too much fruit in your diet will cause weight gain due to the sugar.
I will post the correct answers in 30 minutes.
All the answers are false.
1 F Milk inhibits absorption of calcium and can actually create a calcium deficiency.
2. F Most chocolate is processed with alkali, which kills the antioxidants.
3. F High fructose corn syrup affects horomones telling you how full you are.
4. F Sugar subs actually cause us to crave real sugar even more.
5. F Organic produce is not subsidized by the US federal government the way non-organic foods are, so it’s usually less profitable to grow organic.
6. F Many foods rich in cholesterol, such as eggs,are extremely healthy for you. High cholesterol is also not necessarily a sign of poor health.
7. F Old news. Google it.
8. F There are very few good supplements for a healthy diet that don’t cause other nutritional deficiencies, and they are very expensive.
9. F Most lunch meats contain carcinogens from processing, which are directly linked to several kinds of cancer.
10. F fruits are generally very low on the glycemic index. Eat up.
The winner with the most false answers was chepamer.

Im interested to know how much weight people have lost using atkins diet to compare different results. I have done atkins a few times whenever i hit 155 pounds or higher and i usually lose 7 to 10 pounds in 2 weeks. (cant stand to stay on it any longer) Just wondering what everyone elses results are.
*edit* Ok maybe some of you cant read. This is not a debate about how good or bad atkins is. I know its not a healthy diet, But i want to know how much weight people have lost that have used it and what their starting weight was.

How should I use the treadmill for optimal fat and weight loss? How many mph hour should I go and for how many minutes? Can I do this every day?
I am currently on a 1200 healthy diet. I watch what I need.
I am a female and about 5’9 tall. I need to lose about 15-20 lbs to be at my ideal body weight.
How long will it take me to achieve my goal with my diet, cardio, and some weights?

How come more people are familiar with the myths than truth? How come the Atkin’s diet is actually considered good? How come it is so popular that low weights and high reps actually tones you? How come I get thumbs-downs for the truth??? I’m pretty annoyed, that’s why I’m asking…
Oh, of course, the ever popular myth, "eating after 7 p.m. makes you gain weight".
Lol Pat xD.
Folladj – Yes, low weights, high reps are a myth, they only increase endurance and completely fatigue slow-twitch muscle fibers.
As for pilates, the only way to reduce bodyfat (or tone) is through cardio, and most importantly a healthy diet. If the diet is healthy enough and low-calorie, you can usually get away with bad exercise in reducing bodyfat.
Also, those people may have done cardio, or already started off with a good amount of muscle, which helps burn bodyfat.

I maintain a healthy diet already, but I feel like my body could use a little cleansing. I’d like to start out with a manageable fast because I know my belly is going to be rumbling after the first 6 hours, so any suggestions? I was also thinking of making it a juice fast, but what juices are recommended?
My goals for this fast are for detoxing, not for weight loss.
