The feedback is a great way to begin behavioral adjustments in the way one eats. When you click on some basic like scrambled eggs, it is charted instantly as calories, carbs and vitamins. makes it almost effortless and so rewarding that even slackers might do it. Weight-loss gurus counsel their disciples to document every morsel ingested calculate every calorie spent, but journaling is a chore that even the most committed slough after a day or two. Now I have found a Web-based ally that is free.
government’s tally of ameliorative spending. That scary statistic has created a $75 billion industry dedicated to getting Americans to trade dollars for pounds and inches.Īs a fat statistic, I am borderline, but I contribute to the U.S. Dieting is big business in America (no pun), and no surprise, given that 28 percent of the population is classified as obese and a hefty 70 percent of us are at least 15 percent overweight. My trendiest friends assure me that the best-selling South Beach Diet employs this same trick of body chemistry to stimulate first few-week impressive weight loss results-and I would tell you its principles-but the book is sold out all over L.A. They start patients with a three-day carb blowout that stimulates a big, drop-and motivational boost-during the first few days of the program. Apparently, there is solid science behind this phenomenon as Cynthia Graff, CEO of Lindora, told me. It may bump a notch on the next morning’s scale but it triggers a measurable dip after a few protein-pure meals.
In fact, my new diet mantra is: party today, protein tomorrow, since I discovered that an occasional carb-loaded meal acts like a toggle switch when I hit a weight-loss plateau.
I slipped up more than once with a party here, a batch of cookies there. In truth, I backslid a bit on the personal improvement campaign I undertook. I do look better and, as witness, friends have made the kind of remarks reserved for “I know she looks better, but I cannot imagine why.” They say, “Your hair is so becoming longer … or, lighter.” Or, “That color looks wonderful on you,” or, my favorite, “Wow! Your sex life must be great!” Now at week two, I’m down 5 pounds, a visible year or two and 2 inches, accumulated in quarter-inch snippets across an expanse of human geography. In my last column, I embarked on a challenge: I would lose 10 pounds, 10 years and 10 inches in six weeks.
