7. Weigh daily. I've preached this for twenty seven years. A couple years ago a study came out verifying what I've said. I remember I heard about it on Good Morning America. Diane was asking Dr. Tim Johnson what he thought. He said it kinda bothered him as he'd been trained to recommend weighing weekly and that 1-2% of the population can develop eating disorders like bulimia or anorexia. I was yelling at the TV telling Dr. Tim to wake up. Two thirds of our adult population is already overweight and he's worried about the small percentage that MAY develop an eating disorder.
Well, I forgot to mention in Rule 3 that if you drink a caffeine containing beverage you need to drink one extra glass of non-caffeine fluid to offset the diuretic effect of the caffeine. This is what I've told patients for twenty five years with a few additions over the years. Feel free to copy this for yourself or for someone you care about that may be struggling with being overweight. Peace, love, joy. (This is my bye and probably comes from growing up in the '70s and sincerely believing that we could sure use more of this nowadays).
