Latest way to screw up your system - the Lemon Diet!

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Morning!  This just in:

…So have a whole day eating lots of natural foods which will aid the detox process, along with water to help the draining process and eliminate toxins.

Boost the cleansing process by drinking glasses of lemonade at room temperature throughout the day. To make your lemonade, mix 2tbsp freshly-squeezed lemon juice, 300ml filtered water and either 2 tsp quality (Grade B) organic maple syrup or a stick of cinnamon and a pinch of Cayenne pepper. You can also drink herbal or fruit tea and home-made vegetable soup. …MORE….

Why people have NOT A CLUE that detox diets remove water weight at the least and needed nutrients at the most… a clue, I have not one.

DASH Diet - common sense weight loss actually works.

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

It never ceases
to amaze me that plain simple common sense gains such popularity in the dieting and weight loss work.  To wit:

A large study offers the strongest evidence yet that a diet the government recommends for lowering blood pressure can save people from heart attack and stroke.

 

Researchers followed more than 88,000 healthy women for 24 years. They examined their food choices and looked at how many had heart attacks and strokes. Those who fared best had eating habits similar to those recommended by the government to stop high blood pressure.

The plan, called the DASH diet, favors fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk and plant-based protein over meat.

Women with those eating habits were 24 percent less likely to have a heart attack and 18 percent less likely to have a stroke than women with more typical American diets.

Those are meaningful reductions since the diseases are so common. About 2 in 5 U.S. women at age 50 will eventually develop cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attacks and strokes. Women in the study were in their mid-30s to late 50s when the research began in 1980.

Previous research has shown this kind of diet can help prevent high blood pressure and cholesterol, which both can lead to heart attacks ….MORE….

Can someone kindly explain to me just why this is news?

I mean, let’s get serious here a weeee bit.   Eat clean and stay healthy.  Well now….DUH!

And this is now news all over the freakin’ place.  You can read:

Having lost 50 pounds myself in 16 months, all I have to say is…..HELLO!  THIS IS COMMON SENSE, PEOPLES!!!!!

And alas….it’s one reason why the diet/fitness industry will never lack for customers. :(

Enjoy,
