Shiny Penny traineo Fanatic Posts: 95 Shiny Penny I've been using a modified Shangri-La Diet (adding portion control to standard SLD) for the past 12 months with good results (-89.4 lbs since May 2006). My SLD dose is two tablespoons of flax oil a day. My favorite thing about this diet is that I'm losing weight without wanting to eat my arm off.

The audio won't be up until 7:30 PM, but it's a very interesting piece. Here's a newspaper article about the same research: Leads back into what this article talked about earlier this year

Looking forward to finding a healthy balance somewhere between being a super-jock and super-sick!	# Posted: 21 Dec 2006 03:55 Very interesting, Shiny Penny- thanks for the informative links! The question is now that we know, what do we do about it?
John W traineo Regular Posts: 26 John W I work in the automotive field as a project manager. Sitting on my butt all day makes it get too big. I started traineo around Nov 1, 2006 at 205 lbs and have lost over 25 pounds! I want to be 169 lbs or below since that is a BMI below 25, although I don't know if my body will do that - I've always been a little "top heavy" You can see though when you look over a year of weight data that I've hit a plateau of around 180-185 pounds. It's still keeping off the original 20-25 pounds but I would like to do more. I know I feel lighter and more agile at 175 pounds, so 169 pounds would be really lean for my build.	# Posted: 21 Dec 2006 05:27 No one really knows. At this point it is the chicken and egg quandary. Does this bacteria cause weight gain... OR... is it just that people who are overweight generate more of this bacteria because they are overweight? At this point it is just the tip of the iceberg.
