The Holiday Diet Tip #4 - Savor the Flavor?

The Holiday Diet:  how to wake up thinner on New Year's Day from Our Lady of Weight LossThe Holiday Diet Tip #4 from the Our lady of Weight Loss permanent fat removal factory!

Eating Slowly Translates to Pounds Lost! Here is one thing you can do today that will help you gracefully and sveltely move through the holiday season.

Chew Slowly and Savor the Flavor - Research shows that those who slow down while eating and savor the flavor, eat less than those who gulp and stuff.

In a recent study conducted by the University of Rhode Island, scientists found that when eating quickly women consumed 646 calories in approximately nine minutes. When they ate slowly, they averaged 579 calories in 29 minutes!

Get it? They ate 67 calories more in nine minutes than they did in 29 minutes! In addition, those who slowed down and savored the flavor, enjoyed their meal and felt satisfied on multiple levels!

One thing you can do today and every day including the day of the BIRD BIRD!
Slow Down ... Savor the Flavor!

Living to 100

Living to 100, Our Lady of Weight Loss's mother, Harriet Taylor (94 years young; sure to live past 100) shares her anti-aging secrets! Amazingly young and active, an inspiration to us all.

Top Ten Longevity Tips Straight from the Mouth of The Almost Ancient Wise Woman

1. Surround yourself with friends. The ones who are still living.

2. Read all the time; romance novels primarily - with happy endings. I'd prefer to read about sex. I've looked around, and believe me, reading about it is better than doing it with what's available.

3. Watch news only once a day, or I'd be stark staring mad.

4. I don't bother my children. I'm the ideal mother. I don't haunt them. I would never come uninvited, even if you lived one block away.

5. I don't over eat, but I don't eat health food like you all do.

6. I have a good disposition. Don't get depressed. Sad here and there, but don't let it carry into my every day life.

7. Watch television selectively. Not all day long. Particularly like Oprah, tremendously. Don't you?

8. That's enough? Isn't it ... oh, I'm not a big shopper - don't buy a lot of clothes. I manage to look all right.

9. Keep sadness out of my conversations with friends. Focus on what's good in life. Should one of the ladies get maudlin, I change the topic.

10. You want to know what my big trick is ... my 'secret' to living long? Don't die! (peels of laughter ... she cracks herself up.)

Want to fill up on more happy? 21 Simple Ways to Be Happy (a Beliefnet special!!!)

It's a Wrap: Lizzie Miller, Toxic Hamburgers & Roasted Vegetables

Our Lady of Weight Loss Glamour NudesFrom one end of the news spectrum to the other, here today,Our Lady of Weight Loss offers a platterful of the latest clips and links to the things you want to know about (or at least should want to know about). A wide range of issues all related to weight loss, in one way, shape or form!

This week's clips cover nude women who give it up for the sake of sanity, toxic burgers - seriously, what will it take for you to wake up to the dangers of e. coli? ... and how to roast vegetables, a useful and delicious guide to round out the news!

Lizzie Miller is Back: Glamour isn't done yet. In November, Lizzie Miller is back, posing along with fellow models Kate Dillon, Jennie Runk, Amy Lemons, Crystal Renn, Ashley Graham, and Anansa Sims. They're all posing together, and yes, they're nude! ... from Steps to Skinny.blogspot

Eating a hamburger should not be a death-defying experience. Too often it is. As Michael Moss wrote in The Times recently, E. coli sickens thousands of people annually, including a young dance teacher named Stephanie Smith, who was paralyzed after eating a contaminated hamburger. Her case offers a poignant reminder that President Obama and Congress need to quickly fill the safety gaps in food production. ... from the New York Times

Chop It, Toss It, Love it: Roasted Veggies: The possibilities for roasted vegetables are endless, from chopping up and tossing in with risotto or brown rice, enjoying as a side dish with meat or fish, or even making a tasty pizza. Don't forget to shmear a bulb of garlic with olive oil and wrap it up in foil to roast along with whatever veg you're roasting off on any given night. Your house will never have smelled so good.... from Fresh Living blog @ Beliefnet!

Sugary Drinks: Pouring on the Pounds?
Is Your MAC & CHEESE filled with chemicals?

Tea Cup Pigs: Cuter than your dog or cat?

ART PigCrossing.jpgSomebody stop me, please! Before I head out to my local pig breeder (are there any in NYC?) and pick up the most adorable creature, a Tea Cup Pig.

Clean, intelligent, lovable and very, very, small, tea cup pigs are all the rage in the U.K. My sources tells me that Rupert Grint of "Harry Potter" has two little piggies! At $1,100 a cup, they are a bit pricey! But so kind and loving.

They are a mix of a variety of pigs that grow to about 14 inches high, the size of a small Spaniel. They are normally sold in pairs, as they don't like being alone and they do very much enjoy a garden!

Do you think the Tea Cup Pig will replace the dog or cat? Will 'walking the pig' become the new exercise rage?


Oink, oink! Squeal in your thoughts below!

Spread the word ... NOT the Icing!

Maya Angelou taken to Los Angeles Hospital? Phenomenal Woman

A friend telephoned this morning and told me that Maya Angelou had been taken to Los Angeles Hospital. We, a group of friends, went to hear Maya speak last year. All hardcore, diehard fans, we ingested every poetic and meaningful word that she uttered.

Just in case you'd heard the same rumor, I am now happy to report that it is not true. Nevertheless, I do love Maya and I'd like to share one of poems with you.

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Spread the word ... NOT the Icing!
Janice
