Does he still eats rice, oats and other grains? Or did he eliminate gluten all together?

He has rice rarely (when it comes in a sushi roll), but all other grains are gone.

And thanks, jobob. The only thing fitting looser on me so far is my watch.

I can do the hummus and the seeds, good ideas. Thank you both!

Also, if you can muster a lot of patience and make your own hummus, I pop the skins off the edamame before blending. Makes it creamier. I also add a little ground cumin.

Reesha, I did have a reading of near diabetes 2 --1.5 yrs. ago. I was retested, and supposedly it's false. But I plan to get retested on a better test later for more accurate results.

So rather than wait around, I reduced my intake of white rice or bread. When I have rice, I try to have brown or red rice.. So rice intake these days..is about once a wk. or so. I have less than 1 c. of oatmeal with abit of milk for breakfast nearly daily. Then I go cycling.

When I eat too much rice and bread at the end of the day, I feel "wrong". I do still have pasta, but "lighter" tasting pasta which tends to be certain Asian pastas.

So I still have sushi, I just don't eat it as often...and when I do, it is a "treat" to me which means I make sure it is freshly made sushi.

I discussed this with a sister who is a doctor and who lost 50 lbs., which included jogging, change of diet and reduction of white rice, bread, etc. Eaten less or eaten earlier in the day for you to burn it off.

Missed a couple of weigh-ins because I was travelling (visiting family in Sonoma, then riding in ALC), but it's back to real life again. Weighed in this morning at 211.6. Not a huge improvement, but I'll take it. I'm just too good at re-fuelling on big rides.

218 for me this week. I'm stuck within the same 2lb range. I'm trying to mix up eating and exercise to get un-stuck, but it's not working.

It's not helping that my doc says I'm banned from riding more than 20 miles. Ummm....lemme think about that. No. I'm ignoring that advice. It's a doc who doesn't get exercise at all. If he had his way, I would have done no exercise for the last 6 weeks.
