Natural, whole foods often have "side benefits" rather than side effects. At least, that's been my experience. Be well! Jp Thanks, Glenn.

Interesting survey. You are absolutely right, apple is good for health, has no side-effects and eating apple prior to meal is one of the the best way to lose weight. Very useful article.

I will certainly focus on stress in upcoming blogs - both with regard to weight and other aspects of health. You're quite correct when you say that these things vary among individuals. They can even vary based on where we're at in our lives. For instance, in the past, stress used to drive me to overeat. Now, if I'm too stressed, I feel less of a need to eat. I prefer to direct my energy elsewhere. Thank you for your kind words and for your valuable suggestions. My best to you! JP Hello, Maria.

I think in our individual quests for weight-loss I've come to the conclusion there really is not a specific ["one"] miracle cure; I do believe it is much more about an ecclectic balance...delving into ALL the aspects of our weight issues, and also accepting that the 'cure' is unlikely to be "overnight". I just noticed a blurb about a former "Biggest Loser" 'winner' who has since gained 122 lbs. back. I wonder if you could speak to the stress~weight link in future publishings... it is as interesting as it is baffling (I have known folks who claim to have LOST significant amounts of weight that they attribute to stress-related incidents; however, I know many more for whom stress is more likely to "pad" their overall weight)...I theorize there is a significant link (perhaps more for some than others), and am especially curious in knowing when stress factors are not necessarily controllable/removeable in ones life...how best to manage-? I so appreciate your practical solutions for health-related issues! Thanks for all your research! Hello JP–

My problem was that I was putting spaces in between the code letters. You can see that I am not that versatile with the computer. You Dad came to my rescue. You are doing a great job and service. Keep up the good work. Teresa John, I told you Dad about the difficulty I had in subscribing. My problem was that I was putting spaces in between the code letters.

I've lost the weight over the course of about 4 months. And the weight appears to continue to drop. I have been more physical in this time period but not as active as I'd like. Exercise should be a more prominent part of my lifestyle. I'm working on that. I probably won't use the apple strategy myself. It doesn't really fit in with my current diet - which is working very well for me. For the time being, I think my diet has had the greatest impact on my weight loss. Being more active and attempting to manage stress better have also helped, I'm sure. Ideally, diet should be the centerpiece of any weight loss program. But exercise, stress management and psychological (mind/body) practices would be helpful and healthful additions to any appropriate diet. Thank you for your questions. Be well!

In closing, you mentioned you have lost 40 Lbs and counting. A few questions: 1) Over what period of time? 2) Have you also increased your physical activities, such as thread mill walking too? 3)Do you plan to incorporate to your plan the apple effect? What contribution do you think each of these actions has had toward your progress? Do you think that diet alone is the way to go? Paul JP,
