50 Ways to Lose Your Blubber* …

Friday March 28, 2008

Slip out the back, Jack. Save yourself. Leave the party before the second dessert course.

When baking, substitute half the oil required with applesauce!

Cut yourself a piece of sheet cake from the middle, where there is less icing!

Don’t need to be coy, Roy. Be assertive – ask the waiter to broil your fish and hold the buddah!

Hop on the bus, Gus! Or skip – or jump. Just keep on shakin’ your booty.

Treat yourself to a Root Beer float: one can of diet root beer and one scoop of lite ice cream.

Drink light-beer instead of regular beer.

Try fat-free, low-cal pudding vs. the heavy stuff. And for an extra treat, plop a dollop of cool whip free on it!

Substitute egg-whites instead of whole eggs in your recipes. Two egg whites equal one egg.

Drop off the key, Lee. The car key that is and walk!

‘Fry’ up some turkey bacon (instead of bacon) in a non-stick skillet. Yum!

When eating out and ordering a salad, ditch the croutons.

Make a new plan, Stan. A winning plan and stick to it!

Set yourself Free!

*Paul Simon’s song “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” was written after Simon’s divorce from his first wife Peggy Harper. The song quotes a mysterious woman as saying there must be 50 ways to leave your lover, leaving a loop-hole for Simon to only offer five ways in the chorus: “slip out the back, Jack; make a new plan, Stan; you don’t need to be coy, Roy; hop on the bus, Gus; just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free.”

If Paul Simon can take artistic license, so can Our Lady of Weight Loss.

Like most of the suggestions except for the lite cool whip...most "diet" tips and magazines always include this (even Cooking Light which I ordinarily love and which usually touts fresh, natural ingredients.) But, seriously, cool whip is made up of nothing but high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils...two of the worst things you can put in your body. You're probably better off with a smaller portion of the real stuff.

1. eat fruit first thing in the morning and for snacks

2. eat whole grain bread whole wheat pasta and brown rice

3. eat lots of veggies (in season is best)

4. drink silk (soymilk) eat almond-butter walnuts tahini

5. lots of olive oil and lots of water

Add extra fiber to your diet:
When eating Italian foods like spaghetti and lasagna I buy the broccoli coleslaw mix and cut it into smaller portions adding it to any tomato based sauce means you don't even know it's there and the kids don't have a clue. ( or the husband who HATES broccoli )
Shredded Zuccini works wonders too and extends the amount of meat in a meal at a lower cost to your wallet and your waistline.
Add a can of pinto beans - chopped - to your taco meat when making mexican foods to extend the meat and add the much needed fiber we all never get enough of. No one notices they are in the meat when you add the seasonings to both meat and beans together.
