One More Party To Go

-

We got past Christmas, now comes New Year's Eve. I don't really do much eating on New Year's Eve but there are parties. And we are expected to attend. There will be drinks and some food, mostly finger food. I'll tell you how to avoid some of the calories.

Most people will avoid food all day so they can splurge that night, don't do it. That's the best way to eat a lot of food that you would never eat normally. Get back to your normal diet right now. I will discard or give away any of those cookies, pies, or cakes I still have in the frig. Yes, I know it's not easy especially if you bought them. If you don't and you eat those desserts you'll hate yourself later. That's way too much sugar. Remember that you can't exercise away a bad diet. Excess calories will turn into fat, you can't avoid it. 

I always eat before I go to a party. Sometimes you're expected to eat especially if you have relatives over or you're going to a relative's home. In that case, eat very little, taste a few things. Avoid the desserts or just take a bite. Don't fill your plate, only take small amounts and only eat half. Remember the rule, always eat before the party. Eat something healthy, and eat a normal size meal about 2 hours before you arrive. 

Following these simple rules, you can avoid eating a lot of fattening foods when you go out. Also, drinks contain calories too. Cocktails might be the worse or the highest in calories. Wine comes in second with about 150 calories per glass on average. Beer is about the same as wine, some light beers are 100 calories, others can be as much as 200 calories. If you want to have a drink that is low in calories and almost organic or as organic as alcohol can be, drink a good clear Tequila over ice. They are made from the Agava cactus with no additives. Clear Tequila is about 100 calories per ounce. Always drink the 100 proof Tequila. Don't waste your money. A good Tequila is as close to organic as you can get. You won't need more than one double.

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 ...
