weight loss: Think Thin Thursday ~ Know Your Oats (Part 1 of 2) - 09/12/19 07:05 AM
Doesn't it make sense to fuel your body with the healthiest foods you can find from the start of your day. One of my favorites is oatmeal because it's difficult to completely lessen their nutritional value no matter how they're prepared. Sugars are the foe these days and they can be hidden in nearly all of our processed foods as maltose, dextrose and lactose. Sugars are carbohydrates with little to no nutritional value although they can provide quick energy when needed.
Rolled oats sound healthier for you than quick oats because they're less processed, right? So if steel-cut oats are even less processed than … (8 comments)

weight loss: Think Thin Thursday ~ An Honest Review About Nutrisystem - 12/13/18 04:25 AM
There have been times as a willing and supportive partner I've been subjected to more than a few diet plans. The first was the Cambridge Diet, an MLM company that consisted of a flavored powder  you would mix with water or skim milk. This was a 70's era product that did work and tasted pretty good. During the 80's I was educated about SlimFast which is another shake type supplement in a can which was very convenient. Both of these plans were simply have a shake for breakfast and lunch then eat a sensible dinner. They worked but are not truly … (10 comments)

weight loss: Think Thin Thursday ~ The "Skinny" on Hydration - 09/05/18 12:21 PM
This idea of hydration or lack thereof has been discussed by many experts espousing how much is enough and what are the minimum requirements. The right answer depends on the individual. Gender, age, weight, activity, climate and metabolism all play their parts. The easiest way to determine if your water (fluid) intake is enough look no further than the color of your urine. The lighter the better although only to a point. Clear to pale yellow is acceptable while darker yellow can mean you're dehydrated. Another common symptom is fatigue and or lack of focus. If you like numbers divide your weight … (14 comments)

weight loss: Think Thin Thursday ~ Change Your Mind, Change Your Body - 08/14/18 09:50 AM
Who am I to argue with the medical profession? I cannot actually consider this a diet or nutrition plan although it may be effective for YOU. I won't spend a lot of time espousing the benefits but I do know the power of the mind. I could call this system a third party diet! Whether you believe in it or not check out what EFT or the Emotional Freedom Technique is all about.

weight loss: Think Thin Thursday ~ There is NO Magic Pill - 08/02/18 09:10 AM
There is no magic pill for weight loss that comes without a cautionary tale. Being healthy and being skinny are not the same! The 3 top selling weight loss supplements in the U.S. are Garcinia Cambogia Extract, Hydoxycut and caffeine related products. Are they effective? Yes, but, and it's a BIG but, they won't usually keep the weight off without detrimental side effects.
 
Americans spend more than $60 billion dollars each year on products, at gyms and in grocery stores for goods and services directed at losing weight. Just as with insurance companies there is a risk / loss you must endure … (6 comments)

Supplements seem to be the mainstay of the 55 and over crowd in the U.S. with 74% taking some type of vitamin or daily dosage of something. Our youth aren't far behind and while their choices differ they consume them at a 68% rate daily. Do supplements work? That's the difficult thing to determine as individuals.
