I did the WW thing back in the late 60's.....it was horrible back then. Hated having to go every week and step on the scale.

It was served with mashed potatoes and a small dinner salad. That made a nice dinner. I have heard that if you soak fresh liver in milk, it does change the flavor of it....makes it more tolerable.....

@ShowMe

I love liver and onions ... I haven't made it (or even thought about it) in years! My father and I loved it - my mother couldn't even stand the thought of it - so she never made it. Whenever I visited them, I'd cook up a batch for my father and myself .. and make something else for Mom.

I may make some this weekend! (Thanks for reminding me ...)

Ok, I'm off to make my lunch. Having a tomato and Miracle Whip on Italian bread..... Just love those kinds of sandwiches.

I’m a little surprised with all the diet advice, mine included, no one has mentioned exercise. Muscle burns more calories. Sitting on your behind and eating prepared food from a box, yuck! ....and, yes, me a size 2 stay on a diabetic diet (for over 2 decades because of family history). I cook my own food and learned how much of each to put on my plate. It’s not rocket science.

Sorry to preach, but pre-prepared foods do not teach you how much or what to eat. You’re hooked on a boxed meal.

Exercise helps to maintain weight loss and but has little value for actually losing weight. Obviously, being fit has other benefits.

I agree @tansy.
Exercise helps with cardiac health and muscle and flexibility issues, but the only way to lose weight is to eat less than you burn.

There is no magic in it. @dooBdoo also made good points. There are a lot of charletons out there preaching their versions of good nutrition. IMO, anything that drastically cuts out a food group is suspect and for most people unliveable in the long run.

I just question with all the low-fat, no-fat, sugar free foods, all the diet pills and weight-loss systems, why as a nation we are still getting larger and larger?

@bootsanne

It’s not a mystery.

Many USDA/WHO reports will give the reasons why.

And many of these reports will trend out decades (70s-‘00/‘10).

Why are we getting more & more obese?

1. Consuming more calories (20+% more)

2. Consuming more fat (20+% more - oils)

3. Consuming more grains (20+% more - refined baked items)

Increase of fast food & dairy falls within the fat/processed groups.

Fats are 9 calories per gram & fat is stored as fat, unlike

carbohydrates which are 4 calories per gram & is used as energy.

That’s I continue to champion for a whole foods, plant-based diet

low in fat...which is also high in fiber (healthy for the gut bacteria).

@ShowMe

Since every single program I watch has been pre-recorded via DVR? The only commercials I see are the ones I want to stop the "commercial-skip option" to watch.

I do not use the word "diet" unless I am quoting. Too many people think that word means only weight loss, and I am not 1 of them. Unless one is fully committed to a lifetime, LIFESTYLE change, no weight loss "diet" is going to work, long term(which to me means the rest of their lives), to maintain the weight they choose.
