The only 5 diet rules you need
Lots of diets work for lots of people—the key is to find what works best for you. But if you’re not sure where to begin, these 5 science-proven tips (that are easy to fit into any lifestyle) will get you started:
1. Snack on almonds
When salty cravings strike, bypass the pretzels or popcorn. In a study of 65 men and women who were following a low-calorie diet, California researchers found that those who noshed on the nuts shrank their waistlines nearly 50% more than dieters who didn't eat them, despite consuming the same number of calories. Likewise, Spanish researchers found that even without increasing exercise, a diet enriched with monounsaturated fatty acids (aka MUFAs, found in foods such as almonds and avocados) decreased the accumulation of abdominal fat, compared with a carbohydrate-heavy diet, which increased it........[Read More]

5 Questions To Ask Before Eating Anything
Have you ever walked into your kitchen, opened the fridge, and eaten a cup of sour cream with potato chips before realizing you’d only meant to get a glass of water?
That was me.
I was a rag doll in the fierce clutch of my rampaging hunger. At first, I felt like I couldn’t control my hunger at all. I tried to outsmart it by keeping healthy snacks around the house. That was a step in the right direction but not enough because I was still eating constantly. I was in a constant state of hunger. I started looking for a solution and found it, not in food, but in my relationship to the stuff (I do not, however, have a relationship with mustard greens. Evil stuff)......[Read More]

How I easily lost 70 lbs in eight-nine months
How I easily lost 70 lbs in eight-nine months
Just by walking, drinking lots of water and tea, increasing fiber in my diet, and eating breakfast I was able to lose 70+ lbs in about 8-9 months.
First thing in the morning around 6:15 am, I get up, put on my sneakers, grab my iPod and hit the sidewalks, walking at a comfortable pace for 40 minutes to 1 hour a day, a minimum of 5 days a week.
After my walk, I make myself a big blender smoothie (filled with pomegranate/cranberry juice, banana, pineapple chunks, fresh berries, a tablespoon of powdered fiber and a few ice cubes) and drink the whole thing down slowly. Next, I have a hard-boiled egg, then shower and go into work. (Feel free to substitute different fruits/juices per your taste and in season, but don't leave out the fiber!)......[Read More]

101 thoughts on losing 100 pounds
I lost a lot of weight a few years ago. I lost even more a couple of years ago, then gained some of it back when we had our first child. It’s not just women who gain weight during pregnancy! However, I have still managed to keep most of it off, and I have learned a lot about weight loss along the way. The Atkins book is where it all started for me. The following list is in no particular order. It’s simply 101 observations I had from losing 100 pounds. I am not a doctor or a nutritionist so take all of this with a grain of salt and discuss any weight loss plans with a professional.....[Read More]
