@LittleTexas :
More health food I see!

@SandyKnee :
Yeah, today was Day One for getting back on my plan...until Ruger posted that, and I ended up with a bonus day off. So, the Plan will begin tomorrow,as my older son is taking me to dinner, tonight. The pizza filled me up, but can't wait to go, just to visit with him. :D

@SandyKnee :
It's all fun and games, until your work clothes don't fit :D

@LittleTexas : Thought that poster was on a Keto diet
Deep Dish pizza 🍕 does not qualify for keto

@ExCTGuyInTX :
it Does qualify for a fun lunch, on a dreary day. My month on Keto, no wavering off of it ,starts tomorrow. Once I 'flip the switch', I eat less than 30 carbs a day,and I enjoy Not feeling 'full as a tick', and my clothes getting Loose, again!

@LittleTexas :
Diets are unsustainable
Keto introduces a lot of fat and other undesirable things into the diet
Full lifestyle changes are necessary not just some crash diet

@ExCTGuyInTX :
Not a crash diet , for me. have been doing it for over 10 years, and wear a smaller size than I did in high school. I do exercise, at least 5 days a week. I am on no medication, and get a full check up every year, and check my bp often. Last week it was 119/74,which is where it usually is. I am 67. Yes, you have to learn to eat in a balanced fashion, and once I lose the 9 lbs I have put on, having a Great time doing so, I will even it out, with all that is needed for a healthy diet. I was a trainer for 10 years, and keep up to date,with health and fitness. Not my first, or Last, fitness rodeo; it is now a focus/hobby for me, and one I enjoy.

Diets are unnecessary. Keto, low carb, Scarsdale, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Atkins, Nutri System, GOLO and all the rest of them are BS. They only thing they make you lose is your hard earned cash.
Losing weight is EASY! The personal willpower and dedication to do what's necessary to lose weight is the hard part, and all those BS diets aren't going to help you with that. All you have to do is this, and it really is THIS easy: If you burn more calories than you consume, you WILL lose weight (barring some sort of unusual personal medical condition.)Reduce your calories with less food and/or better food choices, and increase your calories burned by getting up off the sofa and actually doing something, start to exercise, etc, and you'll lose weight. Period. That'll be 26.95 per month, please. Cash or credit card, your choice.

@Ruger5 tipped @LittleTexas 100 credits for a post in this forum discussion.

@LittleTexas : Awww lol. - influencer……blushing

Looks good!

@Ticagro :
Y'all, life Needs pizza, tacos and cake. In reasonable amounts, mind you, but you Gotta enjoy life, at times, I did not start this to be a diet controversy. My focus was on Ruger's talent. I will compare my medical numbers with y'all, any day. By the way, my bone density test said I have the density of a 48 year old, I am late 60's. So...back to the subject at hand....

@LittleTexas : The point is, you CAN eat pizza and lose weight! Eat it in moderation, and whatever calories were in the pizza you ate, burn off more than that. Easy peasy.

@LittleTexas : I saw that same pizza today in Walmart and thought of that thread. How are yall able to eat such thick crust?

@eighteen : I love thick crust, but when my dd was here in September she ordered a thin crust from dominos. DELICIOUS! It was the 'Motor City' name that caught my eye. Chicago, deep dish pizza, have had it in Chicago, and I swear, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
