I know I am extremely late to this but I just came across this blog. I am glad to see someone is trying to do something about this problem. I am an African-American personal trainer IN DETROIT and everything you’ve said it absolutely true. I am currently working on my masters in the field of exercise physiology and I wanted my thesis to be something that will help my community and more specifically black women. I am in the process of trying to prove those 3 exact things that you blogged about (scientifically of course). Keep up the good work!!!

Comment on Life Without Bread: I Gave Up Bread, You Can Too! by Michelle Burton

For me personally, I do well if I do not go over 100 grams a day. If I eat more than that, I gain weight. You may need more since you want to have a baby. You are definitely are going to need more calories carrying a child. Talk to a doctor to see what they say. I am not a doctor and do not want to give you wrong information. I have never had a baby so I do not know how much energy (calories) the body would need when you are trying to feed two people. Good Luck!

Congratulations Michelle. It can be scary when you are about to embrace the truth and stop living the “lies” of low-fat and no fats and eat real food. God bless you and keep you,

You’ve done so well, especially considering all the stressors! (Happy New Year, by the way!) Hang in there with getting the period resolved. That stinks! Remember that you can always get a second (or third) opinion from another gyn. You’re in control!

Comment on Michelle After: 5 years of Keeping My Weight Off by Glenna

Might not be a good choice, but it has been my favorite food for over 40 years. It is my biggest temptation and maybe a big reason I am overweight!

You are right about black girls self confidence and I admire that. You are also correct about white girls feeling pressure to stay thin which sucks. I myself am white, weigh 221 and am 5’10. I just started low carbing by trying to eat around 40 carbs. I am glad you tell the truth about how we are killing ourselves..I hope to read more of your stuff
