Almonds are not filling, and when you cover them in chocolate, smoke flavoring, etc they might as well be called CANDY.  3. I'm not drinking as much water 4. I'm not exercising as much 5. I got sick, and just was drained.  6. I quit taking supplements as they cost me hundreds of dollars a month So I'm...

Air Fryer Are the "NEW" Thing, but Are They Really Healthy? This is what we hear about Air Fryers: Less chance of a grease fire with no grease Less chance of getting burned by popping grease when there is no grease Much less clean up, and no worries about dumping old grease. Air fryers produce food that has the same crispy outside that standard fryers produce, without the unhealthy additiv...

My Bland Soup Experiment Today I talk about how I went to purchased a 2 Quart Slow Cooker ($8)   and was amazed at how much SALT is in the "ready made" seasoning mixes for slow cookers. So I decided to make my own. I purchased some stew meat, a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, and some no sodium beef broth (that still have 79 mg of salt). I browned the meat, and through everything together...

Today I get into why its not a good idea to drink alcohol if you are trying to lose weight.  Your body only has so much time during the day to burn calories. Alcohol is empty calories, and basically get burned first. Then when you run out of time, you still have all these other calories waiting to get burned, but the alcohol cut in line. Alcohol often leads to you not caring anymore, and you make...

I watched the documentary My Big fat Body by Frank Payne on Amazon Prime (it was included with the Prime membership). The movie shows Frank going through the process of losing 60 lbs. It was impressive. I wanted to see how Frank was doing now. The problem is he died at the age of 49 in 2012. So the video showed how his living of eating insane amounts of bad food had left its mark on his system. So...

I found a quote: When you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done. -Thomas Jefferson This is true for EVERYTHING. The bad news is it is "Weight Loss Season" where every other commercial is someone telling you that YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE. You can still eat PIZZA, ICE CREAM, CHOCOLATE, SODA, and you will lose weight. You don't have to exercise! F...

We've spoken in the past how sitting down too long is just not a great habit to get into. However, when we've look ed at Standing Desk they are rather expensive with prices starting around $500 and go up from there. In looking back at these, I now am seeing full desks with cranks Not as cool as the electric ones, but also only $300 ) This week I was visiting friends in Florida, and he had...

Its that time of year again, we just went passed Halloween, and we are headed for Thanksgiving, and then Christmas cookies for everyone. Despite our worst fears, the average American really only puts on one pound during the holiday season — which doesn’t sound like much, unless you gain that extra pound year after year.  Source So how do you avoid gaining the 10 lbs you did last year. In a way it’...

Today I want us to look at our feelings in two different places. While We Are Eating After We Eat We see something and we think it would make us feel sooooo gooood if we could just eat that. And you know what? It's true. Some food today is engineered to release the same kind of effect as heroin on the brain. So when that euphoria hits us, its not something to take lightly. We are enjoying the...

I was in Philadelphia, and everyone said, OH YOU HAVE TO GET A CHEESE STEAK. It is what they are known for, and a Philly cheese steak is like no other. For most of my time there I followed my diet, but on Sunday I had a car and that meant options. I kept wondering, "If I leave without eating an authentic Phlly Cheese Steak, I might be missing something." So I called a friend who lives thei...

Today I talk about an article I found on Nerd Fitness   from Steve Kamb who is the author of the book   Level Up Your Life: How to Unlock Adventure and Happiness by Becoming the Hero of Your Own Story He made some great point how in the same way that casinos are set to win, so is the food industry. The fast food giants are racing to see who can give you the most calories for the least amount of mo...

Today I did one of the most gross job I've ever done. I cleaned a bottle that had noting in it but water. Water that had been run though a Brita filter. A bottle that had gone through the dishwasher, and yet I never had taken the pieces parts apart. WOW.   I bought a straw cleaning brush and was amazed.   I'm up almost 1 lb. It happens. Back on plan.  I talk about this article this week ab...

This week I read some email, and I talk about how someone held up a mental mirror that had me realizing that I hadn't been "giving it my all." Now don't go crazy and go super negative, but instead use your anger to motivate you to try harder, push harder, and keep fighting Mentioned in this episode Lifesum - Healthier living, better eating, more movement - Lifesum AB Advertising In...

Today I share an article I found on changing bad habits. This episode was inspired by me starting to eat more Reese Cups when I go to the grocery store. I had one a few months ago, and that lead to another, and another. As I have said before when we do the wrong thing, we are practicing the wrong thing and we get really good at doing the wrong thing.  Here are the steps: 1) Analyze 2) Form a Strat...

I've had an app called 30/30 on my iPhone but I really just started using it. What you do is you put in a task, and how much time you think it will take to complete it. So for my job I have me doing 50 minutes of work, and then taking a quick break. During that break, I try to walk for three minutes. Why three minutes? Because my Fitbit wants me to get 250 steps per hour. I'm not sure why,...

I was talking with some friends this weekend when I went to a podcasting event in Chicago. Many of them had not seen me in a year and they noticed I was down 30 lbs. So in looking at pictures on my phone I found some pictures of me from last year. I've lost a few chins. Here are my thoughts looking at the before picture: WOW - This stuff works. So the sacrifice was worth it. BE CAREFUL - Cause...
