Then you can manage to eat like a pig ....I mean OFG... on occasion and not gain a pound!
dudes.. i'm getting smaller by the day!
and nah i know you work, Quail, i'm just throwin' that out there. its what i tell folks who ask what my secret is (generally naysayers who are givin me grief about having a milk shake every day when the summer really gets crankin'"
and its hard to get this all figured out but once you do, its second nature. i once had an older, heavier woman stand there and give me the business about how i use whole cream to finish lentil soup and WHO would do that... but she easily had 70 pounds on me even tho she was tossin' back her lean cuisines (btw dont eat the crap either).
so throw out what you've ever read in women's magazines about healthy eating. it just takes time and research...
for instance we were in the store the other day and my hubby was putting bananas and grapes in the cart and i told him to put them back and he was all "but its fruit and thats good for you!" until i told him that a banana has something like 6 TABLESPOONS of sugar in it and grapes were almost as bad.
so we got apples and oranges (oranges were a compromise and i only eat the small ones or half of one) instead.
a few things that i generally never eat (and dont miss):
* any kind of soda - including sugar free... i get the plain sparkling water from kroger if i want something fizzy
* potatoes - only on occasion and not so many
* boxed cereal - its all demonic. just eat oatmeal (old fashioned)
* white rice - i only use barley..it works for everything including fried rice
* white pasta. honestly i couldnt got to olive garden if you paid me. we switched to whole wheat and never even miss the 'real' stuff
and i really limit white flour in baking
'ceptin' of course.... everything i ate today. i'm still in a food coma......
the funny thing about all of this is that after you retrain yourself you wont even miss most things. white knuckle it for 2 weeks and you're home free.
