Before I even got to Rule #1 I was marking things in the book Bob had to say in the introduction....so here are some of those first...When speaking about what he wanted to accomplish with the book Bob wrote:
"That's what I want to do with this book. Think of it as a rule book for your life as a healthy-weight person, a person who can enjoy delicious food in the right portions and be satisfied. Someone who can not only resist all the jumbo colas and supersized fries that get waved in front of our noses, but not even feel tempted by them!"
"In 2011, the study's researchers decided to try answering one question: Are some foods associated with weight loss even if, over time, we've been increasing our intake of them? The answer stunned a lot of traditionlists. Predictable, increases in rutis and veggies were associated with weight loss, while caloric increases in potato chips were associated with weight gan. The shocker came in the less-intuitive items. Increases in nuts, whole grains, and - usefully for us, as you'll see late - yogurt were associated with sustantial weight loss. No one is quite sure why, but we can guess: these foods don't spike your blood sugar and insulin responses the way other foods do, so they don't make you hungry."
In speaking about the contestants on The Biggest Loser Bob was talking about the salt consumption of the contestants when they come on the show.... "They eat it unknowingly - in the fired and highly processed foods that are their usual mealtime fare and that helped make them so overweight in the first place - and knowingly; too many of them often add salt to whatever they are servced. They are usually eating so much salt that they have begun to mess up the delicate mechanisms of chimical balance so vital to our bodies. When the kidneys are swamped with sale and without adequate liquis, you don't get enough potassium. That and other minerals are absolutely key to weight loss."
Simple hydration tips:
- Make it your prremeal policy: drink a large glass of water before every meal. No excuses.- End the day with prepatation for a good start to the next: put a large full glass of water on your bedstand every night and drink it when you wake up, every morning.- Get a little extra bang for your effort: mix a pitched of water with a noncaloric vitamin and mineral supplement.
So that sums up my blurb from Bob's Skinny Rules - now my weekend. Overall it was an amazing weekend. I went to the Steel County Fair with my dad and the kids so LOTS of walking and avoided the mini donut monster. Then my cousin had a flat tire issue with which my dad was going to help him out by lending him a jack and when we stopped at his food booth "Potter's Pasties" he offered us lunch. A hearty real food pastie. What is it you say? Well it's pretty much a pot pie all wrapped up in a pocket of delicious buttery bread. He gave us two - one for me and one for my dad - now me typically being the white carb avoiding type had this warm hearty pastie in front of me bursting with ground beef, onions, potatoes, and carrots and all I can say is: IT WAS DAMN GOOD! I shared with the kids and my dad, but the carbohydrates from the breading clearly through off my insulin because yesterday while at home cleaning my apartment it took every last ounce of strength in me to not make the beer bread that was in my cupboard, or the chocolate pound cake or even a Peanut Butter Sandwich and I struggled the most with the small handful of pretzel M&Ms the kids had left in the cupboard, but I did. I actually enjoyed a carb one day and did NOT let it cause a binge the next. It definitely helped being able to talk to someone about it and getting the "stay strong" text messages back! So that's that.
I'll have to make another entry as this one took up most of my break....menu to come :)
