Comments on: Pick Topics to Cover on the Radio http://www.344pounds.com/2010/02/pick-topics-to-cover-on-the-radio/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

I have so many friends who think that restricting their calories is the way to go. Obviously it is to an extent, but you restrict too much and your body is going to hang on to whatever fat it has. When people see how much I ate while losing weight (and maintaining) they are amazed. It is about eating the right foods and enough of them. I am so glad that you said that.

Someone I love is going to have gastric sleeve surgery and it really has scared me lately but I'm trying to be supportive. The natural way really is best. #1 is a great suggestion even if already been discussed.

Maybe you could talk about how taste is really acquired. How taste buds renew themselves every month, and that it takes about 10 trials until you like a new food. - How sugar is truly an addiction and should be looked at the same way as a drug addiction/alcohol addiction. Study about mice who preferred sugar over heroine. - Techniques of healthy cooking. I see so many people counting calories, but in essence they still cook the same way. It does not need 1 stick of butter to saute vegetables. - How to eat healthy when you hate to cook. Strategies of minimizing time in the kitchen. (make meals ahead, listen to an audio book while cooking, learning HOW to cook) - Some typical misconceptions about calories. I see it so often that people do not know that a Tbsp. of oil has 240 Calories, and that you have to watch all the oil/fat that goes into the cooking too! - What kind of things to look out for in restaurants. Hope this helped a bit! Feel free to check out my blog and get some inspiration (once there is more content ;) if you like. I think what you are doing is great, I hope you keep it up! - Christina Hi Tyler,

I think that's the hardest part.... I can lose weight, but keeping it off is the issue. Going back to my "old" ways is the culprit of course, so what are you going to do to not fall back into your old habits? Talk about your fabulous commenters and fans ;)
