Kirstie Alley, Fat Actress: Will she "lose it" and "find it" again?

Kirstie Alley, Fat Actress
Kirstie Alley, Fat Actress, is set to 'star' in a new reality show that will document her "struggle" to shed pounds. Fox News reports that the series "will trail the 58-year-old star as she "labours" to restore her curves while raising two teenagers in Hollywood." The yet-to-be-named show will consist of 10 half-hour episodes to debut on A&E sometime in 2010.

As you may remember, Alley, a yo-yo dieter, famously lost and found 75 pounds as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig - reportedly going from 145 lbs. to 228 lbs.

While I am sure that the show will be wildly entertaining and wacky (in the best possible way), and while I am sure that Kirstie will lose the weight ... the question remains????

When the lights go dark, when the episodes are in the can, when Kirstie 'loses' those 75 plus pounds, will she 'find' them again?

Cookie Monster: Cute but addictive?

Will the real Cookie Monster please stand up.

Have you made giving up sugar year after year? Have you tried giving up the three c's (cookies, cakes and candy) over and over again? Were you up-ended by a deep and inexplicable craving for Dulce de Leche Caramel Haagen Dazs ice cream? Are you a sugar addict?

Sugar addiction is no joke. For many years, researchers and doctors did not believe that you could get hooked on an innocent piece of candy or sugar-filled cookie, but now studies that scientists have been compiling over the years are pointing to addiction.

While it is true that Chocolate Cheese Cake is not in the same league as heroin, alcohol or nicotine, it appears that some brain responses may overlap. All of these addictions produce a pleasurable response that fuel a desire for more. Can you stop at just one chocolate chip double fudge cookie supreme? I don't think so.

Did you know that sugar addicts tend to be depleted of key vitamins and minerals, which may weaken their immune system? The average American consumes approximately 24 teaspoons of sugar each day. What's your intake? How much of an addict are you? Do you want to get off the stuff?

Here are a few Our Lady of Weight Loss approved suggestions to help you bust your sugar habit:

1. Never skip breakfast. Those who eat breakfast are less likely to crave sugar. Your body wants that energy boost first thing in the morning to get all your gears in motion. If you skip your morning oatmeal, you're likely to start craving that chocolate chip cookie come afternoon. Low sugar breakfasts include eggs, whole-grain unsweetened cereal, fruit, and unsweetened yogurt.

2. Never skip any meal! Skipping meals in general is a bad idea. Eating balanced meals at regular intervals keeps your brain and body fueled, so you don't crave heavy starchy or sugary foods for energy.

3. Get enough sleep. Rest. Once again, the body starts to crave starchy and/or sugary food for energy - for fuel. When you feel the need to nap, do so. Listen to your body.

4. Excessive salt can trigger sugar cravings. Fast food restaurants and processed foods use salt to stimulate your appetite. They want you to eat more! Read labels (I did a little pantry reading this morning. They had to get out the smelling salts!). Make low-sodium choices.

5. Eat whole foods (not refined carbohydrates). Refined foods a.k.a. empty calorie foods such as white bread, cookies, cake and candy, don't satisfy your body because they lack nutrients and fiber. Try eating more fruit, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, winter squash! They're loaded with the good stuff.

6. And sorry to say - there's no donut in the world that's going to take away your emotional tugs, pulls and pain. Try yoga, walking, talking to a friend.

I know - easier said than done - but no one said bustin' sugar would be easy!

The Holiday Diet Tip #5 - Kill the CRAVING!

The Holiday Diet:  how to wake up thinner on New Year's Day from Our Lady of Weight LossThis "Kill the Craving" post is hot off the Our Lady of Weight Loss Permanent Fat Removal Factory press! Both Our Lady of Weight Loss and Janice Taylor are determined to change the 'fat tide,' and enable you to Wake Up Thinner!

Cravings are like clouds. They roll in with the winds and out, as well. Generally, the 'crave cloud cycle' lasts about 15 minutes. As soon as you see a "Crave Cloud" headed your way, how will you handle it? What will you do to ride it out?

Here are some hot 'fat-burning' tips straight from the OLofWL Permanent Fat Removal factory.

1. Call a friend. Choose wisely! And talk about LIFE not food!
2. Take a brisk walk. And breathe in clean air (hard to come by in my neighborhood!)
3. Brush your teeth (floss, too, while you're at it). Your dentist is gonna' love you.
4. Journal it out of your system. Pen to paper vs. hand to mouth!
5. Drink water. Flush that craving out of you!
6. Jump up and down. And clap, too. Clap, clap, clap. Yay! Get the energy moving!!!
7. Dance to the music.
8. Relax dammit! Take a hot bath.
9. Visualize your goals. See yourself thinner come January 1.

And my best and most secret defense against "The Craving!"

10. Eat dill pickles. They are zero calories! Have plenty of taste for your craving buds! YUM Delicious, Our Lady of Weight Loss approved! ... and then brush your teeth and floss again!!!

Remember. You are a Weight Loss Warrior! Your ability to ride these cravings out is stronger and stronger every day. If I can, YOU CAN!

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!

The Holiday Diet: Tip #3 - Perfectionism can lead to...

The Holiday Diet:  how to wake up thinner on New Year's Day from Our Lady of Weight LossBe forewarned: Perfectionism can lead to:

Low self-esteem (if I am not perfect, no one will love me),
Low-productivity and in some cases obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD),
Procrastination (no point in doing something if I can't do it perfectly)
Depression,
Sexual dysfunction,
Divorce, and
DUMPING THE DIET ... a.k.a. giving up!

Give up the ALL or NOTHING Mentality NOW! Trying to be perfect goes against the grain of the natural flow of life. If the ALL or NOTHING WEIGH OF THINKING is interfering with your life, in any way (weigh), shape (pear shaped or apple) or form (extra rolls around your middle), I invite you to consider letting go of this potentially dangerous approach, that is only going to lead you to a crash and burn failure (again)!

Go with the 80/20 Plan!
On occasion, you will find that you are a little to the right or left of your food plan. Could
be it's your birthday (or mine), or you ordered steamed vegetables NO sauce, and 'they' delivered it with sauce. If your healthy living plan is too rigid, you will crack! Plain and simple. Don't crack. Be flexible.
