“Don’t confuse: Jell-O with whipped cream for dessert and J-Lo with whipped cream for dessert.” ~ Anonymous 197.0 lbs. I recently discovered I’ve some things in common with certain peeps in Hollywood, and not just calling myself a film maker either (to be fair, my documentaries, music videos, etc. added up might have made the revenue of one of MGM’s straight to video flicks. Maybe.) Rapper / actor 50 cent is looking more like a thin dime these days. He’s [...]
This is a 25-minute-to-make dish that serves 4, each serving only 204 calories. You can serve this over rice noodles or brown rice, or eat it on its own. Shaoxing (or Shao Hsin) is a seasoned rice wine available in most larger supermarkets in the ethnic foods section or in Asian markets. If you can’t find it, you can use dry sherry as an acceptable substitute. 1/4 cup Shaoxing rice wine 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster-flavored sauce 2 teaspoons cornstarch 4 [...]
“Sigh. Got to go buy some food. A mouse hung itself in my fridge and left a note ‘can’t live like this‘.” ~ Ustas 197.4 lbs Okay – if you’re reading this blog you have some interest in nutrition. Or you just like the freak show of some dude starving himself, then bitching about it in daily articles. But since you are reading this, I’m going to take this time to tell you about some healthy foods that just… aren’t. [...]
“”I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick, not wounded: dead” ~ Woody Allen 198.2 lbs. If you read yesterday’s post you now know how to torture carrots to be even better for you. But what about other foods? I’m not going to start a gazillion-part series of articles on this, but I did stumble across some information on making one of my favorite foods even better for you: sushi. First off, when it comes to [...]
“If life gives you a lemon, make lemonade. However — if life gives you a pickle, you might as well give up because pickle-ade is disgusting.” ~ Clifton J. Gray 199.2 lbs. Once again I seem to be circling a particular weight like I’m in a holding pattern. I blame Eyjafjallajokull. But the petite prandial plunge will begin anew soon enough. Those of you who enjoy stabbing and slashing with steely knives, take note: when your skills are put to [...]
With summer comes more. More activities, vacations, fairs, and barbecues. Unfortunately, with it also come plenty of opportunities to forget about eating healthy, and just eat what’s around – all-too-often that means corn dogs, ice cream, barbecued pork, and more. This kind of food is fine in moderation is fine, but too much of it and all that hard work of staying fit will go to waste. So how do you stick to a healthier eating plan this summer? Here [...]
“A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature.” ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca 198.1 lbs I’m a reasonably manly guy. Broad shouldered and square jawed, I served 8 years in the army and only rarely have an emo moment – with that in mind, I have a confession. I like yogurt. *whew* there, I said it. And ya know what? I’m not alone. I know a few Lance Armstrong types who compete in cycling events, and [...]
“Caught up in life, losing all my friends Family has tried to heal all my addictions Tragic it seems, to be alone again I’m giving in to you” ~ Adema 199.8 lbs. I’ve been receiving congratulations on my “success” of dropping below 200 lbs. If you’re one of the people who emailed or tweeted me, I humbly thank you. For those readers just starting to read this blog, though, I have to emphasize again that I’m dropping weight in the [...]

“A lot of folks say they like what I did but they don’t like the way I did it.” ~ Boss Finley 198.0 lbs. What a weird place to be. For the first time since I was a kid I’m under 200 lbs., which makes me feel a sense of accomplishment and at the same time I worry about the muscle loss and other health effects. I’m now officially past the halfway milestone and thinking it may be all downhill [...]
“Never eat more than you can lift” ~ Miss Piggy 199.2 lbs. Success! Well, if success can be measured by racking your physical and mental well-being through starvation, then… success! But while I’m doing this to demonstrate just how bad anorexia and crash dieting can be for your body, I’d set a personal milestone of being below 200 lbs. by day 50 (from the starting weight of 240 lbs. the day before beginning the starvation phase of this project). Yep. [...]
“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, tell me mirror what is wrong? Can it be my de la clothes or is it just my de la soul?” ~ De La Soul 200.6 lbs. I shouldn’t have written that title. Now I have early 90′s rap/dance music stuck in my head *facepalm*. Does anyone have a cure for Fu Schnickens? Anyhow, back on day 43 I wrote about 10 tips for healthy, effective weight loss including eat 5-6 times a day, watch [...]
