It's kinda funny actually, I weigh about 220 pounds but I always
thought of myself as skinny. I guess it was the small boy inside of
the chubby 47 yr old's body. But anyway the MD told me that i had
Triglycerids around 1200 and that was because I ate like a Hoover.

So About 3 weeks ago I decided to cut a few Wendy's and KFC & Pizza a
week and try to eat these bars instead. <a
href="http://diabeticfriendly.com/chocolite-chocolate-pecan-cluster-
caramel-sugarfree-fiber-healthsmart.html">sugarfree
chocolite chocolate caramel bars</a>

Now the funny part, I have had this store for 6 years and never really
used any of my own products!

I just 3 weeks, i have moved over 3 notches on my belt, without doing
anything different!

the bar is 2 pieces, and is 30 calories each, with 2g of fat and 6g of
fiber and 1g of net carbs!

it seems to take the edge off allowing me NOT to consume that extra
1500 calories a day!

One 30 calorie bar means that you don't have to consume 1500 calories?
What kind of math is this?

I don't think you can sustain on your new diet for long. Follow those
who have made it for long periods of time, and they are people who eat
plenty of 'right' calories, and they exercise.

Sounds like what he's saying is that he subs a few of those "bars" for a few
"Wendy's and KFC & Pizza" eats and loses an extra 1500 calories a day. If
so, that should result in weight loss of about 3 lbs a week, quite a bit.
But he's only been at it for 3 weeks and thus only lost about 9 lbs. He
probably won't be able to sustain it for long, but it's a start....

More importantly, though, he needs to eat his own damn spam rather than
trying to feed it to us.

bob,

i typically would chow down on 4 small herseys bars, which i never
knew were 230 calories each

that would take me about 4 minutes, the 60 calorie caramel chews last
the same amount of time for me as the 4 herseys bars, guess you missed
the "hoover? remark

Dear Roger,
I am saying that rather than eatting fast foods every day i am eatting
the products i sell.

as for feeding to you guys, i FOUND this news group from links from my
competitors who have posted 100's of posts about their products.

Finally I actually used a few of mine and i posted about it. I think
my total post number is 4.

I looked up your post total and your at 15,000.....

wow...

now thats alot to say..

as for sustaining my new diet?

I think it's possible since i NEVER tried to limit any consumtion of
any foods before. and YES i do sell stuff in the low carb world, i
infact sell 850 items, but i posted about ONE really good tasting,
great chewing bar, better than anything i have run across in 6 yrs.

So excuse my so called spam, which is actually not, since i do eat the
dam things. I was trying to communicate about something i think is
worthy.

Yeah, it's say you don't post here except to sell your wares....

It's pretty hard to sustain a 3 lbs per week weight loss for very long.
Sure, you can eat your bars from now until hell freezes over, but you likely
will not able to maintain a calorie deficit that will result in 3 lbs per
week of weight loss.

You really should post and read here more so you'll learn something.

What difference does that make?

Fine. Become a regular poster and stop posting links to your website which
you profit from if people buy there. That's spam. And why should anyone
believe you really eat these things and that you're not just saying that to
sell stuff? I guess you never have seem an ad on TV or in print or on the
radio.

Dumbass.

dear roger,

Thanks for calling me a dumbass...

It says volumes about you.

I posted a link about a single bar.

You call names.

Have a great day!

As for losing weight,

Yes i dont that i will lose weight and go down to zero....

However if you took the time to actually read what i wrote, you will
find my point was that i was slightly overweight and was cutting out
thousands of extra un-needed calories per week. AND from what i have
read and learned this is QUITE a great start and FINISH for my weight
issue.

I dont need to loose 3 pounds a week forever.

I need to lose 20-30 pounds and then not put it back on.

If i find a way to stop eatting fast foods 3 times a week and eat a
tasty caramel chewy sugar free bar instead, then it will accomplish my
goal.

You spammed. He called you a spammer.

The solution is pretty simple, IMO.

If you're talking about the ads on Google you should know that they are NOT
posted by people on this newsgroup. Google inserts those ads to help pay for
their operating costs. The fact is that posting advertising to this
newsgroup (where you stand to make a profit from the sale of the products
advertised) is spam and will most likely result in a complaint being filed
with Google and/or your ISP.

In case you're in doubt, here's the FAQ for ASDLC.

And just to make this perfectly clear..... this is not a Google Group.
Google is simply an archive and web interface. This is Usenet.
