Staying Home

-

Because of my age I'm one of those staying home and for me it's tuff staying away from the kitchen. I'm on a maintaining diet and while it's pretty easy for me because my wife and I both eat the same things; when there's only two in the house we just don't buy the wrong things.

Many of our neighbors and several of my readers are not in the same situation. When there's 3 or 4 people living under the same roof, maybe it's your kids, maybe it's your parents, the diets will vary. I understand that cooking a meal will be challenging. I you're staying at home now because of the virus, this is the time to concentrate on making the changes in the household's diet to accommodate everyone.

Use your time wisely and by using the internet you should be able to create a menu that is healthy for everyone and for those weight loss people, you don't have to eat some of every dish on the table. You know what you should be eating and those foods like meat and vegetables should always be on the table. Have a variety of vegetables prepared so there's something for everyone. And if your the one on a diet, half your plate should be vegetables, one quarter meat, and one quarter rice or something similar.

Because my wife and I are pretty much house bound, we only eat one meal a day. I start the day with plain Greek Yogurt with frozen blueberries. We eat our main meal about 2 pm. At 6 pm I usually eat something lite like a protein shake or an apple.

One of the big challenges now is finding food that you want to buy. Most of the things on the shelves are the things other people don't want. Looking for the right foods can be a real time consuming and here's where it will take some work on your part to try and create healthy meals with the food you can find. 

If you're feeding kids remember peanut butter, milk (any milk ever chocolate milk), tuna fish, bread, and fruit (fresh or frozen). Kids love sandwiches and for a hot meal, hamburgers and chips. I wouldn't buy ice cream. Make jello if they want something sweet. You can add a can of pineapple or dice up an apple.

I would try and keep everyones diet as simple as possible using the least amount of money possible. Being house bound might last a while. Good Luck, try and stay busy and stay out of the kitchen as much as possible.

Losing body fat should be your goal. Read up on weight loss and losing body fat. It doesn’t cost money to lose weight. The internet is full of free information.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
