The Dress



You may recall I mentioned a dress in a prior post that my mother bought for me years ago that I could never fit into. Here is a picture of me with my 2 sister-in-laws at the anniversary celebration and the dress was too big for me.



I may have only got to where it only once but it felt good to be able to wear it. It was like my mother was there with me and that she was sharing in the joy of the anniversary celebration. It may sound… Continue

Emotional Eating: Feeding Your Feelings

“I cannot change the direction of the wind but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” -Jimmy Dean

For many that feel they have no control over things that are happening in their lives or do not know how to deal with events in their lives resort to eating.… Continue

Trying to Lose Weight - Psychological Factors Need Tackling as Well

It is often useful to consider fat as just a symptom, like a phobia, a headache or alcohol consumption. The psychological issues underlying all these symptoms are usually much the same. We can put a lot of effort into cutting back our eating but if we continue to ignore the “cause”, we will remain on that proverbial roller coaster of weight the rest of our lives.



Different life events raise our stress levels and so we try to relieve stress by eating then overeating. Maybe we don't… Continue

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

A friend shared this with me and I just had to share it with you. I hope you see the depth of the meaning that I did when I read it.



When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee!



A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it… Continue

Eat More Fiber



We all know the benefits of the OsoLeanTM powder: besides having 2 specific mechanisms to target fat cell metabolism, it also causes the body to produce a specific hormone, cholecystikinin, to create a feeling of satiation. This is just another reason the product is so powerful because if taken 20 minutes before a standard meal so it shuts down your appetite. Fiber can also reduce our consumption by causing us to feel full sooner and stays in… Continue

Want to Lose More Weight? Eat More Often!



That’s right you heard me. When it comes to losing weight, how many pounds you lose isn’t as important as what those pounds are made of. For example, if you lose 10 pounds, but half the weight is muscle, your metabolism is going to suffer. That’s because, pound for pound, muscle burns more calories than fat.



Surprisingly, the frequency at which you eat when dieting affects the type of weight you lose. In a British Journal of Nutrition… Continue

Life Is Like a Poker Game



Can you turn your life into a game? Then you could learn the rules, learn how to play really well, have fun and enjoy it, be patient, take the losses with the wins and always want to play more. If only you could!



You never know where life’s lessons will come from. I learned lessons as I watched people play poker. The cards were dealt; the chips were tossed into the middle of the table, the smoke, the food, and the arguments! I… Continue

Which food choices are free choices to munch on or use to season my dishes?

Mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions can be used freely throughout the day. You can also add cucumbers, garlic, asparagus, and that pesky nopales cactus to that list! When it comes to the other choices nothing puts weight on your butt faster than an avocado. It's true! Carrots, grapes and dates are all too high in sugar for munching. Organic coconut! Forget it. Just because something is labeled organic does not make it an acceptable weight loss choice. Moreover, corn, well, just think of corn in one… Continue

How to measure your weight loss success!

How to measure your weight loss success!

Just measure it!




Establish as a target or goal fat metabolism and lifetime weight management.



The healthy goal for people is to lose weight and then maintain their weight at that level. The $89 billion a year weight loss industry is a testament to the failure of that goal.



Simply providing a “better” weight loss product or diet plan does not guarantee body compliance or weight goal retention for that… Continue

Can you be really good during the week, cheat on the weekends and your weight loss results will be the same?

No, I am sorry but again, this is a falsehood. The process of eliminating fat from the body includes eliminating it in the form of water. When you have a "cheat day" you are going to (most likely) add a great deal of sodium to your body, which will retain water. Essentially, you are taking two steps forward and one step back for every "cheating period" you take.

Do you think that if you only eat fewer calories you must lose weight?

"No" is the correct answer. Unfortunately "Yes" is too simple and easy. If that were true, all of us would have the bodies we want!



If you think that 2,000 calories from chicken breast, potatoes, and broccoli are equal to 2000 calories of doughnuts, Moon Pies, Oreo’s, Twinkies and Butter Cups, you are mistaken.



These foods metabolize very differently inside your body. The high sugar content in the fat infused foods will cause a sugar spike, which will result in the… Continue

Do you think burning off 3,500 calories per day will mean that you lose a pound of fat?

Actually, calories can come from a variety of sources. There are calories that come from fat, protein, carbohydrates and alcohol. If you can burn off 3,500 calories in some form of exercise, there is no guarantee you will be burning 100% calories from fat. In fact, most of the time you are burning calories from sugar or carbohydrates because they are the easiest and most accessible types of fuel in your body. Your liver holds glycogen stores for just the kind of need that exercise requires.… Continue

Do you think that soy protein (e.g. tofu) is better for weight loss than animal based protein?

Soy products (including tofu) have been found to produce an enzyme in humans that stimulate estrogen production in the body. Estrogen is present in men, but it is the hormone responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics in women such as hips, breasts, and the higher percentage of body fat. Excess estrogen in the body will not only produce more body fat but will also cause bloating and water retention. It also lacks the Thermic Effect* of animal-based… Continue

Menopause Symptoms and Challenges

How do you get rid of symptoms of menopause?



Very few doctors give their patients a complete list of menopause symptoms. And besides symptoms of menopause, there are premenopause symptoms and perimenopause symptoms.



First, it's a long list, to be sure. And a woman's time in a doctor's office could get very long if she asked about even just a few of these.



Whatever the reason, here is a full list of the premenopause, perimenopause and symptoms of menopause. You… Continue
