Well…guess what. A close friend of my is going to meet my 8-10 pound goal. He gained weight this week. The blood sugar thing really threw him off. Although the doctor said that everything is fine, He just have to slow down.

She only wants him to lose 1 pound a week. He got so frustrated that He had been working hard, and everyone is telling me it’s the problem that I sort of pigged out over the last couple of days. He is not giving up though.

He might relax a little this weekend (It’s his sister-in-laws birthday) and He want to enjoy food then. Then Monday morning..fresh start! If nothing He is persistant, and truly believe that this time he has to try, try, try again!

Wow…I only wrote 3 days ago? Well He has had a few ups and downs. Overall I’m still sticking right to the plan….after all it’s pretty easy! He has been having a lot of problems with feeling very shakey and light headed as he said before.

His Mom is a diabetic and has suffered problems like this for a very long time. Anway..she had an extra blood glucose meter, and we’ve been doing my blood sugar to find out what’s going on, so he can let his doctor know. Well..talk about lows! His sugars are down around 3.5 before meals, yesterday it was only 3.3, so hence why the feeling so bad all the time.

He is going to monitor this closely, but in the mean time, he may be having a few more points to try and keep the sugar levels up to normal….and oh well if he lose a bit slower! It’s all about being healthy.

Anyway..gonna run now! Got some things to do, and it’s Saturday..so he is probubly going to enjoy a nice long walk with me (Dr.David.Hooper)!

Diet and Behavior

Few years back  Dr Ben Feingold, an allergist, began to suggest that some food additives can cause adverse reactions in children. He began to publicise this hypothesis in 1993 and his first paper was published in 1995. Since then there has been an increase in cases of learning disorders in children, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Feingold’s hypothesis is one of several attempts to ascertain the cause.

The reported incidence of all these conditions has increased to the extent that about 20 per cent of the school population are thought to have some degree of learning disorder. The first thing to note is that there is a strong genetic component: the disorders cluster within families. But environmental, particularly dietary, factors also play a part. Many studies have been carried out over the last thirty years to try to confirm or refute Feingold’s hypothesis.

Over the last 20 years an increasing body of work has suggested that an imbalance in fatty acids in the diet is a strong contributory factor.

Is it true that High-Protein Diet Help You out to Lose your Weight?

Pumping up the protein in our diet by eight different ways.

Low-carb diets are last year’s news, but high-protein is emerging as the latest buzz in weight control. That’s because emerging research has hinted that protein may be able to satisfy hunger better than either fats or carbohydrates.

Could a high-protein diet really help you eat fewer calories (and thus lose weight) by keeping your hand out of the cookie jar? WebMD asked some experts for their views.

What Studies Show

Participants in a study recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported greater satisfaction, less hunger, and weight loss when

1. Sniff a Banana, Apple, or Peppermint

You might feel silly, but it works. When Dr Alan R. Hirsch of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago tried this with 3,000 volunteers, he found that the more frequently people sniffed, the less hungry they were and the more weight they lost – an average of 30 lb each. One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you’re actually eating it. 2. Hang a mirror opposite your seat at the table. One study found that eating in front of mirrors slashed the amount people ate by nearly one-third. Seems having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of your own inner standards and goals, and reminds you of why you’re trying to lose weight in the first place.

I love the expression “Why fix what isn’t broken?” I use this phrase when it comes to my time-honored Thanksgiving recipes. So why am I throwing out my old “perfect” pecan pie recipe this year in place for something new?

After trying her version in the Test Kitchen a few months ago, I realized that I needed to ditch my old “perfect” pecan pie recipe. Not only does this new version taste better than the original, but it’s healthier too. Find out the three tricks to making better pecan pie.
