@Rob – I’ve tried several different diets, some work good – until I fall off the wagon and then the weight quickly returns, which leads to me getting depressed, which leads to me eating more, which leads to…and on and on and on… And I DO appreciate your feedback, that’s what I need, dialog to get me to talking about this, thinking about it, and keeping it a priority.

@Eric – thanks for that site, I’ve checked it out and signed up. It’s not exactly what I’m looking for, but it does appear to be a very valuable resource, and I’m certainly going to try to put it to good use.

thanks for the vulnerability. unfortunately i don’t know of anything strictly male-oriented. have you tried other stuff like south beach, etc?

I know it’s tough. One thing I learned (and take it for what it’s worth) is that all foods are pretty much a sugar, fiber, or protein. Protein builds cells in a healthy way, fiber just shoots on through, and sugar is for energy. If you take in more sugar than you need, it stores it up. If you need more energy and take in less sugar, the body goes to the reserves to get the energy.

Most sugar we take in is usually a carb, sugar, or fat. Carbs burn faster than sugar, sugar burns faster than fat.

It’s not easy, but limiting carbs seems to help me. But it just ain’t as simple as I write it!
