I recommend making hearty sandwiches on wheat or veggie wraps! Instead of mayo try light italian dressing or vinegar oil. They are quite tasty...

Oh and another thing... beware of poultry.

Exercise!! Yes you can cut out all that junk food and lose weight, but exercise is the key to keeping it off! if you get a good amount of exercise during your week, you can have that pizza one day a week. If you dont want to do the exercise, you'll be stuck eating carrots and that boring stuff forever! get out and run, and have a slice of pizza or two a week.

As long as you're active you can eat some snacks and not turn into a fatty!

Just eat smart through out the week, and you can enjoy that pizza once in awhile!

red grapefruit as a morning fruit choice will boost your metabolism

i'm going to try hoodia made from an african cactus to curb my appetite. the bushmen have been using it for a thousand years
to sustain themselves (prevent hunger) during long hunting trips.

one trick is to decrease your plate size....and eating to late in the evening is a no no because there's less time before you go to sleep to burn off the calories... the hollywood skinnies never eat past 4pm.

i put a little honey in my coffee now... and rarely use sugar....and for the coffee creamer you can buy the fat free....

if you simply starve yourself...your body begins to burn off your muscle tissue (first) and conserve your fat reserves in a self preservation mode.

But if you consume many small healthy snacks (6 small meals a day is preferable to three) to keep the stomach satisfied and continuously working you ->elevate your metabolism to the point that your burning fat even in your resting periods. power walking is much better than jogging because theres less
trauma to the joints and theres no build up of co2 in your blood
which causes fatigue.

buy the all natural peanut butter....because peanut butter has alot
of fat in it actually....so flavor the celery with it rather than trying to see if you can break the guiness book of records for the most peanut butter ever on a celery stick . celery has sodium. sodium attracts water into each of your cells....where as potassium from apples reduces (regulates)the amount of water within each cell .

the additional
drinking of water helps you piss out some of the fat so it doesn't all get stored.
i raise my morning cup of coffee ...to your health BF

long live BIGFISH

I have been eating half a red grapefruit in the morning. Thats great! Lots of water...about 8 bottles a day which translates to about...a gallon. The peanut butter stays Skippy...it only every few days and its not that much...again its better than the three donuts I would have otherwise. I get plenty of excercise.....I walk alot when fishing and my work is strenuous and quite physical.

Actually eating Peanuts and Peanut Butter are good for you....help boost your good Cholesterol. Went and saw a nutritionist a couple of months ago and she told me about that.

i was on this big Fat-Free kick the past couple of years and found out it was actually not the way to go. You want to stay away from Saturated and Trans-fats, but take in Mono and Poly unsaturated fats as these help w/ the good cholesterol. Peanuts are a great source of these.

remember as with everything moderation is the key. don't eat a can of peanuts or a jar of peanut Butter at one sitting

i think its skippy that has the honey nut roasted peanut butter.
thats some damn good stuff....

put it on hot toast to melt it with a-little strawberry jam and i'm all set.

yesterday i rediscovered my wife's lost cheese cake recipe that her mom was famous for.... and the wife is gonna make one tonight.
this chese cake is so good...its unreal...puts all the store bought
cheese cakes to shame....with an additional cream cheese topping so light and creamy it's like biting into a cloud of delight.

i just mowed
an acre+ on foot with a little lawnmower to burn off calories prior
to the ultimate indulgence. give me cookies or give me death.

Peanut Butter=Protein!

words of wisdom from our shaman!

[Raven]

back in the days of knights and Armour ....the round table dudes lol...

they had a beverage called mead...and it was essentially the first form of beer...it was basically a mixture of water and honey for an energy beverage....where as today our main thing is fruit or berry juice.\\

then the olden days brew masters added hops and barley (barley porridge was big in those days) and beer was born and mead sorta disapeared as the mainstay.

when the chinese came to america to work on the railroads they too carried wine bag containers full of water and honey to revive/energize themselves especially those that worked in mining camps.

water and honey (which is hydroscopic :meaning attracts water)
dont mix together very well ...takes time for it to disolve unless its heated as in tea. but mix honey: say a tablespoon with a table- spoon of applecider vinegar (5% only of vinegar) and they make a golden juice of perfect viscosity that makes a great beverage
to loose weight with. mix it with welches grape juice and its very much like wine. Anyways,my point being if you have a small glass of this blend....one half hour before mealtime....you'll eat much less.

the other thing to remember is....and this is wicked hard to do....is to listen to that small signal or inner voice (feeling ?) that says i'm full...
as soon as you sense it....STOP.... because thats the key... for some reason the brain has a delayed (about 20 minutes.)reaction for telling you,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (stop eating)..................
(your full) ... and thats where the apple-cider vinegar/ honey and water/or juice ........gives you back the control.

because basically....
you can get into a rut of not stoping eating until you have totally pigged out ...and until you get that i'm a freakin beached whale feeling (hands on yer belly) you just won't quit....and you wish you had listened. it's just a matter of adjusting your mental association to... food.
otherwise its....
ohhhh wheres the rolaids, i need tums or mint tea scenario.

Yup,
I had the same physical five months ago...40 # overweight and high blood pressure...I used to put butter in everything and drink a bottle of wine a day.
Today I've lost 20#, blood pressure, and cholesterol normal, and I still exercise 4x a week.
I bought a 80# heavy bag for the cellar, going down to work on it for 40 min. or so before I go to work...helps with the stress, too.
Good luck Larry,
Rick
