Clean House = Fit Body

Dust off those unwanted pounds by cleaning your house. Vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, and mopping are all great exercises. If you’ve never thought of cleaning as a workout, then think again. Next time your house is in need of some tidying up, take a moment to become aware of all the lifting, squatting and stretching it takes to get it sparkling. Make it a point to keep your house spotless by cleaning away your pounds.

gg — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 02:22:57 +0000

i know we all like fast food. and my problem is burgers. so i came up with this to replace the ones i get at a fast food joint.

something i found i like is turkey burgers. and boco burgers.boco burgers has 70 cal. 1 fat, 7 carbs, and then i use the 35 calorie bread. you get 2 slices of it.it has 70 cal. 0 fat and 17 carbs.works great as a bun. a slice of swizz cheese…70 cal, 5 fat 1 carb . yellow mustard has 0 cal, no fat, no carbs ,2 slices kosher sandwich slice pickles 0 cal, 0 fat, 1 carb, use 2 tbsp.reduce sugar ketchup,,10 cal, 0 fat,2 carbs.

a total of…..

220 calorie 6 fat 28 carbs

. and this seems to help me when i want a burger.

STEALTH-HEALTH COOKING TIPS

Lose the fat, keep the flavor.

By Devon Alexander

1. Love a low-fat cheese

As long as you stick to a low-fat cheese, you can eat it in comfort-grilled on a sandwich or with macaroni-and still lose weight. Several low-fat varieties taste very close to traditional cheeses these days with a fraction of the fat. And they melt in a satisfying way. To keep the low-fat benefits, be sure to shred the cheese finely. This guarantees it will spread evenly, with fewer calories and less fat in every bite.

2. Stock up on salsa

Salsa is a dieter’s gift-it’s one of the few insta-flavor-explosions that’s actually good for you. Most salsas are completely fat-free and full of fresh vegetables or fruits. Plus, salsa adds fiber to your meal, filling you up without a lot of added calories. Spoon 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa over a piece of baked or grilled fish or chicken breast; over omelets or poached eggs; on low-fat tacos; or on top of baked potatoes.

3. Embrace olive oil

It’s easy to trick yourself into thinking you’re eating a decadent meal by adding a touch of extra virgin olive oil. Olive oils are monounsaturated fats (the best kind) and have been linked to lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. Extra virgin means no chemicals were used in the pressing; the finest ones should be labeled “first cold pressed” and “unrefined.”

4. Cover for cream

It’s amazing how easy it is to feed a common craving-cream sauce or gravy-with fat-free half-and-half, some broth, a bit of flour for thickening, and your favorite seasonings. Heavy cream has 51 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 3 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon. The same serving of fat-free half-and-half has only 10 calories, 0 grams of fat, and still provides that rich texture of its full-fat counterpart.

10 Commandments of Weight Loss and Healthy Living

10 Commandments of Weight Loss and Healthy Living
by Dr. JP Havey
March 3, 2008

Dr. Havey has been a Chiropractic physician since 1992 and formed The Health & Wellness Institute, PC in 1995 for the purpose of educating and motivating others to improve their health. He has been writing books and creating weight loss programs aimed at helping others build a lifestyle of health, fitness, and happiness.
Sometimes we need rules and guidelines to follow, it makes things easier for us.
Here are the 10 Self-Improvement through Self-Motivation commandments for weight loss and healthy living:

1. Stop All Criticism - Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Love yourself exactly as you are, vowing to change what you do not like. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, you are being negative. When you approve of yourself, you are able to bring about positive change.

2. Don’t Disrespect Yourself - Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It’s a dreadful way to live. Find a positive mental image that gives you pleasure and immediately switch your negative self-thought to a pleasurable one.

3. Be Gentle, Kind And Patient - Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved. Realize that loving yourself enough to feel that you deserve better in life is the first step in changing for the better!

4. Be Kind to Your Mind - Self-hatred is only going to keep enabling self depreciating. actions. Don’t allow yourself to have these thoughts any longer. Gently change your thoughts.

5. Praise Yourself - Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing. Think Pavlovian! Reward yourself each time you have a positive thought or action.

6. Support Yourself - Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it. You would help a friend in need, so let them also be your friend, in deed!

7. Be Loving To Your Negatives - Acknowledge that they existed to fulfill a need. Now, you are finding new, positive ways to fulfill those needs. So, lovingly release the old negative patterns. Say good bye to mindless eating, hello to awareness and healthy eating.
