Coconut anything is very high in calories (same with nuts); coconut oil is also a saturated heart and not recommened for heart health.

Ironically, many of the things that are healthy for us are NOT low in calories.

@hopi Regarding WW; that is false information and Oprah has NOTHING to do with it.

Your statement is confusing.

and my WW information is true and of course Oprah had nothing to do with it but changing of points have come with her inception and the team she approved being part of the board.

@hopiWhat is confusing about what I wrote? OH.. I see.. I edited it. Thank you!

As for WW; the decision to establish the nutritional guidelines now in place (Smart Points) were started more than a year ago; almost 2 years ago and are in line with the new FDA labels required on all foods by 2017.

Look, you name the diet, I've tried them, more than once. I'm not huge, but I am definitely way over weight.

The best way to lose weight is Weight Watchers because they teach you how to eat right. You go to the meetings and you get support from people just like you.

I agree with those that said, "If you eat the calories you will gain or not lose weight".

The only way to lose weight is to eat less but when you do you need to eat the right things because even if you lose the weight honey, those fat cells are standing there with thier feet stomping just saying, "I'm still here". They're waiting to blow up again.

You have to have a complete life change because once those fat cells are there if you don't do a complete change forever, you'll gain back the weight and more. Just ask me and Miss Oprah, she'll tell you the same thing.

We have changed everything in the kitchen. Coconut oil, coconut milk and coconut flour...chicken on the grill...etc
So why does my husband seem to gain and I'm staying the same weight? Why aren't we loosing?
It's been 3 weeks. Using Dr Axes recipes too.

Might try stepping up the burning portion of your weight loss program. Food intake is only 1 part of long term weight loss and maintaining it. Since you didn't mention the "output" part of your program, not much I can offer you.

I don't know about you but I can't lose any weight by dieting alone. I HAVE to include exercise! Once I begin exercising with my low calorie diet the weight drops off.

To lose a pound a week, you have to cut out or burn at least 500 calories a day over your resting metabolic rate. Exercise should include cardio, and strength training to build muscle mass. Cut carbs and fat. Focus on vegetables and lean proteins.

Nope, at least not according to current science,

Weight management is FAR more complex than this statement, and the posts in this thread indicate this.

Women carry and lose weight differently from men, some people lose weight as vegans/vegetarians, some succeed by eliminating all simple carbs, some are totally successful with Weight Watchers, some find that program to be unsuccessful.

If "calories in, calories out" worked fo everyone, no one on earth would be overweigt.

Science is ever changing. What is THE latest today more than likely will not be the same maybe next month.

What DOES NOT change is the way each individual's reacts to what that body takes to function, both physically and mentally. To ascribe the same specifics to each individual's body, as we know, does not always work. As for "Science"? It only relays findings, not one's potential personal results?

Ever see pictures or video of WWII POW'S? If your answer is yes, it is quite apparent that how much one eats DOES effect ones body's ability to lose weight via food intake. Does losing that weight make them or keep them healthy? Simplified, eat much, much, much, much less food and weight WILL BE lost. We do not need expensive science studies to come to that conclusion, it is FACT?

While I agree losing weight(body fat) is different and more complex for many. Lost in these complexities is each individual finding out, through trial and error, done at 100% effort, to find out what works best for them. Not just to lose " Scale number weight", but to lose "Body Fat Weight". Who has a goal of losing muscle tissue? Most that lose weight strictly via dietary changes, lose more muscle than fat?

I could go on and on another on with this Science versus Personal " Trial and Error" methodology of how to lose real "body fat weight", but few here have probably made it this far in yet another one of my novela's.
