Dear East Dulwich Forum Administrator I'd like to talk seriously about Weight Control (if permitted) I hope this is the space...


The majority of weight loss approaches typically tend to look more at exercise programing, how much exercise and/or how often for example. There is also plenty of emphasis out there on the intricacies of a diet plan and its relative effectiveness for our weight lose ambitions. But less if any attention is given to behavioural aspects of weight loss. If 'eat less-move more' was as 'black and white' to implement for the masses as the analogy suggests then weight loss would be easy. But it simply isn't.


One of the major differences between a person wanting to lose weight and someone wanting to stop smoking for example is that smokers can literally erase that behaviour completely, whereas to lose weight you can?t stop eating- you have to eat several times a day, so in order to make the changes I believe you have to learn to think and feel differently about food.


Shall/can we discuss?

Low GI is the way to go. Steer well clear of glucose-fructose syrup, corn syrup etc because it is addictive for a start and plays havoc with the blood sugar (as does alcohol). Complex carbs, whole grains and good quality protein. And exercise for all-round physical and mental well-being

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
