A prettier plateau Wonder why I’ve been so quiet lately? Nothing to talk about. My progress was going no where, and it was going no where and sneezing and coughing the whole time it was doing it. I don’t exercise when I am sick, it does not “clear things up” the way others have suggested; it [...] 2 comments to 5 Ways to Break Through a Weight Loss PlateauI stumbled across a recipe for spanakopita the other day and took a quick glance at it, saw that the first ingredient was 1/3 cup of oil, I stopped there and just moved on. But I love spanakopita so I went back and gave the recipe a second look. This recipe does not list what [...] 1 comment to Make Popeye proud, eat your spinach!
From Jim: Great tip with the frozen grapes! Any recommendations of 5 or 6 other snacks – 100+/- calories, with some balance of protein, carb, fats? One that seems to work for me is a multi-grain cracker with light ricotta cheese and a small amount of honey. I also enjoy a hard-boiled egg, or 1/2 [...] 1 comment to More great snack ideas please!
Shhhhh!… this is a secret that I don’t want to get around too much, don’t tell anyone because then we may end up with a shortage. It’s a little known fact that if you take red grapes and put them in the freezer they become a super yummy healthy snack. There is something magical about [...] 3 comments to Shhh…you gotta keep this secret….

The impossible I do immediately, miracles take a little longer. I define impossible as the ability to keep a food log or journal of what I eat every day. The effort lasts for about 1.25 nanoseconds and then vanishes into the Bermuda Triangle of Good Intentions. Oh well. Yesterday I found a Dr. Oz link that told [...] 2 comments to The impossible I do immediately
Salad, I love salad. Mostly I love salad dressing. Now that is a problem. Most of us do not eat the salad because of the beautiful greenery, we eat if for the yummy creamy whitery on top. Bleu Cheese, Creamy Parmesan, and let’s not forget my personal favorite Newman’s Own Creamy Caesar. At nearly 200 [...] 7 comments to Going green, or how I eat more salad.
About 10 days ago after I started watching what I was eating more I decided to find out exactly how many calories were in the bowl of cottage cheese and cantaloupe that I like to eat in the morning. I loaded up a bowl with a typical serving and weighed it out. I was shocked! [...] |

Cheers lots, I have found this article extremely useful!
I recently lost over 60lbs and went from size 42 waist to a 34. Exercise was a huge factor, but I would have to say what we eat and when is a more crucial factor. I try to eat 5-6 smaller protein-rich meals with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, I eat my biggest meal of the day in the morning and taper off with subsequent ones throughout the day. This helps get the metabolism going and keeps the appetite under control. Obese people often eat less than I do, except they skip breakfast, chug sugary sodas all day, snack on greasy carb-laden junk food and then gorge before dinner and up until bedtime. By doing that, you are essentially telling your body to store fats and metabolize foods at a slower rate.
