This weekend, we’re holding a Halloween party for about 20 close friends and family. Although we are really looking forward to seeing everyone, we’re struggling a little bit with the menu. See, of the 20 people coming, this is the breakdown of their eating habits: 1 diabetic 4 paleo 5 gluten-free (counting the 4 paleos) 2 vegetarians 1 peanut allergy So of course, there’s no way we could get by with serving a pizza, or a 6-foot sub, or even [...]
“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. [...]
These cakes, 2 per pack, are listed as 4 Weight Watchers points apiece. Unlike meals (Weight Watchers or otherwise) that use the point system, desserts don’t give you much for your points. But then isn’t that the same of “real” desserts? Gone all too quickly for the calories they provide… What makes these sorts of prepackaged foods a part of a weight loss plan is that they’re a way of monitoring the amount of calories you eat. have a 200 [...]
“To fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful.” ~Bess Myerson 209.6 lbs. I had lunch with a dear friend today. I say “lunch” in that she had soup and a meaty wrap, and I had a glass of water with a wedge of lime in it. When I ordered the waitress rolled her eyes and mumbled “big spender…”. My dining companion said “he’s sort of anorexic” – which just treated me to [...]
“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.” ~ Socrates 214.6 lbs. Last night I realized something; if and when I pass the 212.3 lb mark, I’ll be the lightest I’ve been since I was 12. Not necessarily the lowest in body fat nor the healthiest, mind you, as I’m losing muscle as well as fat. While I now view food as a purely functional item, I maintain my oral fixation. This is not uncommon; cigarette smokers, when dieting, often [...]
“Anorexia is primarily a disorder of females. Only rarely is it found in males” ~ John L. Miller, MD. 228 lbs. The weight loss doesn’t happen at a steady pace. Still, I plan to re-examine my intake and check for salt or something. Taking on a project like this can be like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. Of course, with actual boxes of chocolate there’s that slip inside it which tells you [...]
“Life is half delicious yogurt, half crap, and your job is to keep the plastic spoon in the yogurt.” ~ Scott Adams 239 lbs If you’ve read the “Why??” page you know what’s up. Briefly I’ve decided to put myself on a 100 day starvation diet to show the hazards of poor nutrition on the body, and hopefully dissuade any would-be crash dieters out there. Not that overweight people get off the hook either. I’ll be writing about what obesity [...]
Eating responsibly doesn’t mean you have to give up all the temptation food… but portion control becomes critical. If you feel like a bit of chocolate cake, but are the sort who’d eat half the pan in front of the TV, here’s a recipe to satisfy your craving but keep you from wolfing down a stupid amount of empty calories. Think of it as an easy-bake oven recipe for adults. Five Minute Chocolate Cake 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons sugar [...]
