Can't stop eating!!!

Rocky 64....... looks fairly healthy from his recent photo.

I wouldn't go trying fad diets especially while on the road.
Stick with the four food groups. Eat from all of them. I find that on the road I can get the nutrients I need easily enough and I know that if Iam at shipper/reciever that I can resist that vending machine with a sweet piece of fruit from the fridge in the truck.

As for BMI and the whole ecto,meso,endomorph guidlines. They're just that,guidelines. Every person is unique. People are saying your too thin for your height. Nonsense. For example,bone density has a surprisingly large impact on weight. If your dieting and not doing any high impact exercises,your bone density will be low and your weight will reflect that. Professional cyclists traditionally have low bone density,simply because cycling is not a load bearing activity on the joints.
Runners(not marathon runners though,they go too hard too often)have higher bone density than cyclists,but cyclist generally have more muscle mass.

If yo uhave anypsychological issues with eating,go see your doctor they may help or they may be able to direct you to a nurse practitioner that can ##### if you have any eating disorders. I think in trucking they are (dissorders) far more common than people want to believe. I feel many issues regarding food when it come to drivers are closely linked to anxiety. There are many "comfort" eaters in trucks.

Otherwise,Don't sweat it......you look ok........keep up the good work.

 

Just a note on Dr OZ. Fact he also says to eat fruits and good fats. he as far as I know never said not to. I use his advice to help with my blood sugar and heart.

 

Your choices for eating are a problem, more than anything else. Almost everything you listed off is complete crap.

 

The way of eating I refer to, and Dr.Oz had vetted, doesn't say to not eat fruits. Just to eat them, along with anything else, 1 day a week. As for fats, I never said to not eat them.

 

The diet that Dr OZ promotes is a diet full of fruits,veggys,lean meets,fish,
herbs,light starch,fiber,dairy,vitimans. this covers all the food groups and makes for healthy eating. Just do not eat like it is your last meal. 5-6
small meals a day is easy to do even driving truck. do not forget to get out of the truck and get in a good walk or jump rope or anything you can
do to get your burn on. keep off the salt and fast foods.

Dr. Oz likes some of the things in the book The 4 Hour Body. The thing he speaks about, in section 3, regarding binging once a week, is directly from the slow carb diet in the book.

Before you pass judgement, read the freakin book, and try the freakin diet. You can't really comment on something without trying it first, IMO.

 

My opinion, is that you continuously eat starchy and sugary foods, and your body gets addicted to eating them. You feed yourself a lot of starch or sugars, and your body wants more, so you lose control and binge. If you filled up on meats, veggies, and legumes, you wouldn't have this issue.

However, most people on here think that I don't know jack, so, all I can say is, good luck with your starvation diet.

 

First of all no one is calling you out on anything.
I have diabetes,high blood pressure,and a heart issue. I have been on Dr OZ`S diet for a year now I have all his books and use them. As far as the
4 hour body and anyother diet book yes he does agree with sone of the things in them but not all of it. that is a fact. It is the same as with anything in this world. I for one like liver but alot of people can`t stand it.
I also think if you do not eat meat you are missing out on a good thing but that just me. you my have your own ideas about that and that`s OK.

Just a note: my diabetes A1C is now at 6.7 and BP is 127/67 heart is real good stress test done a 10.0 DOT wants 6.0 so I maxed that kicked its butt.
