Eating only protein, or only carbohydrates or only fats will not produce a healthier you in the long term. We’ve been led to believe throughout our lives that animals are protein, and everything else are carbohydrates, except for the fat of animals and vegetables. Long ago, fats came only from animals – long before someoneContinue reading “DON’T PUT AN ANIMAL IN YOUR BODY; DON’T PUT A ROCK IN YOUR GAS TANK”

No More All-You-Can-Eat
Some diet advisors suggest that people fill up on low or essentially no calorie, high fiber foods to help lose weight. If you stuff yourself with an all-you-can-eat nearly raw broccoli, the fiber is good for sweeping the intestines, but you may still be hungry in an hour or less.

SHARON OR STEVE
What’s it’s name Sharon or Steve? Depends on who dies first. Steve and I have been half the time dying and half the time living with long COVID this year. In an effort to cope I bought this skeleton yesterday at Walgreen’s. If I die first, her name is Sharon. If Steve dies first, hisContinue reading “SHARON OR STEVE”

‘I’ve Got Diamonds On The Soles Of My Shoes’ ~ Paul Simon
I dared to weigh myself this morning, knowing I shouldn’t. I have a fitbit watch/bracelet that documents me and I was hoping beyond expectations that I lost something, anything. I shed my outers, carefully placed myself on the scale and came up one pound lost since my last weight date which was yesterday (Wednesday). YesterdayContinue reading “‘I’ve Got Diamonds On The Soles Of My Shoes’ ~ Paul Simon”
My Body Is A Machine That Bleeds.
My Body Is A Machine That Bleeds. So, I ought to be careful given that vulnerability. Had this thought while back on the treadmill after some time. Today. SLOMO. RESIST THE SPEED. I’m trying to fix the mat that keeps shifting on the treadmill, so I think to slow it down, try it out forContinue reading “My Body Is A Machine That Bleeds.”
PLANNING BREAKFAST
My mother used to give us a choice for breakfast: We had to have either cereal or egg before going to school. Toast was optional and we had to have the juice she prepared, usually orange. It was that or not go to school; she made that very clear. Nobody argued with it. I’m givingContinue reading “PLANNING BREAKFAST”
The Gambler In All Of Us
Most people think gambling involves money and games of chance. Buy a ticket and the odds are against you that you’ll win anything. Most likely you’ll lose. And if you keep gambling you’ll lose everything, since gambling is one of those addictive activities that no one knows who it will sting until they engage inContinue reading “The Gambler In All Of Us”
Self-Expectations
I expect the same from myself my family my neighbors my associates and my acquaintances and friendships as I do from my President and the politicians who make decisions that affect my life directly or indirectly no matter the state or district they claim to represent. We’re all connected. I expect the same from everyContinue reading “Self-Expectations”
THE PRUNE
A low calorie, no fat, high fiber snack to help you lose weight. Fills you up unlike fresh fruit, and the chew satisfies whatever chewing needs you have. Everybody’s different. Once Tom Brady of football fame said, “chewing is overrated”. I believe that overall it is. Why do people eat such hard foods that manyContinue reading “THE PRUNE”
When in my life was I feeling the best?
When I was eating the least. Hands down no doubt. What does that tell me? Eat less feel better Alrighty.
EMPTY THE PANTRY now is good
Empty The Pantry Your fat is what needs to be used up so it doesn’t collect and become a forever suitcase you intuitively think you need in case of emergency which you know will happen because emergencies always do. It’s like using food product before it’s expiration date. Yes, I believe that there is anContinue reading “EMPTY THE PANTRY now is good”
Adverse Side Effect Of Pandemic – An Over Abundance Of Fat Gain
Some people find comfort and security in their fat. They carry it like a sign of abundance with their particular signature on it. They’ve got themselves covered, should they fall on hard times or hard times fall on them. It’s almost a pride thing. There’s something satisfying about patting or smoothing down a fatty thighContinue reading “Adverse Side Effect Of Pandemic – An Over Abundance Of Fat Gain”
LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE TO LOSE FAT?
Talking about it isn’t the same as doing it. Consider all the energy we expend by talking and not doing, Wow; I should have no fat at all if my thoughts could burn fat, but they can’t, so that miracle at least for now, isn’t going to happen. Put your fat-burning thoughts into action andContinue reading “LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE TO LOSE FAT?”
WHY WE GET STUCK
The body tends to want to stay where it’s at – for survival reasons. If you’re alive now then something is right. Something might also be wrong, but survival mechanisms are fairly simple. How not to be dead this minute is where the brain operates from, not if you’ll be dead next year or nextContinue reading “WHY WE GET STUCK”
WEIGHT LOSS FIRST STEP
The first step to losing weight is losing fluid. Figure out how to lose fluid and you’ll figure out how to lose weight. You do it.

CHEF SHARON’S WAY TO WEIGHT LOSS On 12-18-2020 I weighed in at 165.6 = DIET TIME. Rather than focus on the short term weight loss plan that inevitably resulted in regaining the weight, all the while putting me into a state of discomfort, I made an executive decision.
