Dr. Oz
Does anyone watch Dr. Oz? A friend of mine was telling that this morning Dr. Oz was talking about healthy weight loss tips. this one in particular was referring to eating apples before your meal. Apples contain pectin and pectin help you to feel fuller longer.

Hey, remember the old saying "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away." Perhaps it has something to do with the pectin. |
Hello, My name is Angie and I am addicted to Fuji's!
I have at least one Fuji apple a day and LOVE how they make my stomach rumble after eating. It's like all that natural fiber is getting in there and scrubbing around and getting out all that bad stuff :) Fujis are crisp and sweet and you can get a giant bag at Sam'sClub for around $4! |
I love to chop up an apple and put it in a salad :)

new motivating factor to exercise (in some way) every single day:
skipping workouts for three consecutive days results in abject pain when you re-start. ouch! :| |
I LOVE gala apples! The local grocery store by my house has been running them for 5 for $1!
One of my favorite summertime receipes is for chicken salad. I boil a couple of boneless chicken breasts (I'm sure you could use can chicken instead, but I've never tried it), I let 'em cool and then shred. I dice up 2 small apples and add in a handful of sliced almonds & cranberries (it's a salad topper mix they sell in the salad dressing aisle). Then I mix with a couple of tablespoons of the LIGHT miracle whip. And voila! I usually eat it on a sandwich thin or with unsalted crackers. YUMMY! It makes quite a bit, so you'll have lunch for a few days! I also like diced apples in a spinach sald, with leftover grilled chicken and avacado slices with a LIGHT raspberry vinagrette dressing. Mmmmmmmm! |
I am a honeycrisp apple kinda girl...yummy!
Sitting in sauna craving apples! |
mmm, apples..i loved that tip! was laid up on the sofa healing from oral surgery so i got to watch his show today... i love Dr Oz , lol. (i watch his show everyday, unless i am working during that time..) - He said if you eat a large apple before lunch, you will eat less for lunch and it helps fill you.. that it can cut up to 187 calories off what you eat at lunch..(not sure how he came up with that number exactly) and if you do this everyday for a year, it will help you lose 5 lbs in that year. - He said that refrigerating canned goods is another tip. Because when you open it (he had a can of beef stew that was and another that wasnt refrigerated for an example), you can skim the hardened fat out of it, and if you do this everyday for a year it can help you lose up to 6 lbs, that is IF you are gonna eat those canned things anyway.. if you dont, even better. - He also said to dilute your juice, theyre full of sugar, even the light variety.. drinking sugary juices you are consuming up to 48 lbs of extra sugar a year.. if you drink 2 glasses a day, dilute them half juice, half water in your glass, and you can lose up to 13 lbs that year just by doing this.. (unless you arent a sugary juice drinker anyway, which is better of course).. - there was another called fake a carb.. where he used cauliflower in place of pasta, and prepared it like he would pasta.. i didnt get the recipe or even really hear what he was saying because i got a phonecall.. - Another one was replace oil with applesauce in your recipes.. or use half the oil and use applesauce for the other half, i think it was.. he had brownies as an example - and said you can lose up to 6 lbs in a year by doing this from now on, if you are a sweets eater and bake.. many recipes can be converted to a healthier way.. - last was swap gym bags with a friend..keeps you wanting to go to the gym, by switching bags.. they'll need theirs and you'll need yours kinda deal..or buddy up with someone who is fantastic about going to gym or working out and eating healthy, it helps stay motivated.. i think that was all his tips that i can remember anyway..lol... |

We live right close to the SC/NC border. Near Hendersonville and Hendersonville is home of the Apple Festival!!! Everything you can imagine apple!!! This appeals to me since I originate from Northern Michigan where we had the Cherry Festival in Traverse City!
http://www.ncapplefestival.org/ I like Honey Crisp, Gala, Pink Lady, Fuji, Cameo's, and Ambrosia apples!!! i have long substituted applesauce for my oil(as long as I had it on hand). I like making applesauce and applebutter. |

Had some egg beaters with onion, basil, black pepper, and fat free cheese this morning and LORD, could I tell a difference in my level of hunger later.
Yesteday, I had high-fiber oatmeal and was ravenous ALL DAY LONG. I was like a bottomless pit and ate every apple, carrot, and grape in the house. Today with the eggs, it's 2:30 here and I know it's time for lunch but I'm not even hungry. Definitely will be having a protein-filled breakfast from now on to avoid the late afternoon munchies. |
1 hour on the eliptical....4 laps around the track....where the hell did I find the energy? lol Feels good :)
|
I didn't get a chance to exercise lastnight due to being exhausted and it raining. I am not going to exercise tonight due to a migraine from my blood sugar dropping and not eating on time. I am having a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner.
Have a great night, Zimmy |
Did an hour and a half on yoga and strength training, and going to start cardio after this little break. Down another 3.5lbs this week. :)

I was advised by someone to do a check in with everyone, and since I refuse to have My butt kicked by a redhead (no names mentioned) lol I am hauling My rear end in here to check in with everyone sooooooooooo ~ here I am :-)
Well lets see hmmmmm where do I begin? I've kind of fallen off the wagon again, and I'm having a hard time getting back to where I was before when I first began. I got a deal from 7-11 like 3-4 days ago where it was buy two 2L pepsi's for $4 so I figured I had been a good boy and I thought I'd splurge abit ........ well that was not a good idea and I'm very much regretting it now. I also was not sure what to havefor lunch today so I made Myself an entire box of mac 'n cheese. Talk about too much at one time ~ I definately regret that because it was just WAYYYYYY more than I've been used to and I felt yucky after having eaten so much. I really need to plan out My meals better especially since My parents are only home during the weeknights, Saturday evenings and Sunday's. With working at their floral shop and being so busy sometimes, the only one who ever seems to be home is Me and My sister. Since they eat at the shop, I am going to have to be the one to plan My own meals; My dad used to get kinda pissy when I bought My own food and didnt share (he still does actually) but really if I'm the one needing to be losing the weight and I'm really the only one home most of the time what right does he have to complain? Time for Me to start taking care of Me, regardless of whether he likes it or not I am a big boy and have to do what is best for Myself. Time to get back on the wagon ........ no more falling off !!!!!!!!! |
