How Many Pounds Do You Want to Lose?

I've been featuring weight loss stories here for many months now. A lot are about people who have lost a huge amount of weight (over 150 pounds). But I am curious about how many pounds the typical regular reader here wants to lose.

Do most people just want to lose less than twenty pounds for example? Or is the average number more like 50 or 100 pounds of desired weight loss?

Please vote in the poll at the top right of the sidebar. I'm leaving the poll open for 16 days and it will be interesting to see what people's desired weight loss numbers are.

Thanks!

Carol Alt Eats Like a Horse

Carol Alt celebrated her 47th birthday a couple of days ago. She looks absolutely amazing. (See her in person on the video below). Her skin is radiant and she has masses of shiny hair for someone who's almost fifty. Her figure is also incredible.

Could this all be the result of her raw food diet regimen? Alt has long been an advocate of eating raw foods and she has written a couple of books about this. She says she 'eats like a horse' but eating raw enables her to stay slim.

The Raw 50 contains her favorite raw recipes — 10 breakfasts, 10 lunches, 10 dinners, 10 snacks, and 10 drinks.

Fighting Fat and Acne at the Same Time

The author of The Clear Skin Diet recommends people who have acne try switching to a diet high in fiber, fish, vegetables, lean protein and matcha green tea.

The typical teenage diet often contains too many burgers, pop and donuts.

Alan Logan, a New York naturopath says the wrong diet is not the only cause of acne. Stress is also a critical element in acne flare-ups.
