AOL Has Tips On Diet And Health

I am perusing the hints on AOL this morning and I thought I should share the link with my friends who are battling their own inner donkeys.

There are reasons why you and I may need to lose a few pounds, and some of them are related to hormones and our personal body chemistry.

Now, this might take a minute to load, there are a lot of pictures, so give it a little time. http://www.aolhealth.com/diet/basics/avoid-binge-eating?icid=100214839x1207098120x1200367224

I liked this tip: "If you need starches, yams and white potatoes (with skin) are 7 times more filling than a croissant. Sorry, French fries don't count."

Back when I worked for the graphics firm in San Francisco, I ate a baked potato for lunch every day. My weight was easily maintained at my prime party size. Now, I have to admit, I did use fake butter powder on my potatoes, it was easier to transport a bag of potatoes and a bottle of Molly McButter on the vanpool van. People thought I was crazy. LOL, science has proved me right!

Of course, I have to admit that I was also down at the club every Friday and Saturday night, jamming to the hip hop beat. I'm sure I burned a boatload of calories, since I didn't drink alcohol. Water or an orange juice or a Shirley Temple, that was it for me!!

(Unless some clown insisted on buying me a drink. I mean, like he wouldn't take "No thank you" for an answer. Then I'd call the waitress over and tell her "Bring me an orange juice, but charge him for a screwdriver." LOL!)

I think I'll go get a bag of potatoes or sweet potatoes today.

Remember, a low carb diet may work for you, but my body needs carbs too. We are all different, so a one size fits all eating plan may not work for you.

I know it doesn't work for me...
