10 tips that will help trim your daily fat intake by 30%
November 6th, 2011 by libertees
-
Think inside the box. Prepackaged, processed, or fast-foods are often high in fat – especially saturated fats.
-
Also think outside the box. Read ingredient labels to find out how much fat the products contain. Choose not to eat any products that list a liquid vegetable oil as the first ingredient and choose unsaturated vegetable oils and margarine or saturated fats.
-
Make sure you know how many servings the product contains. You’ll eat much more fat and calories than you intend if the serving size is two or more and you eat the whole thing.
-
Shop the perimeter of the store to pick up more grains, fruits, and vegetables. Steer clear of the middle aisles which are the domain of processed foods.
-
Choose lean meat and fish, poultry without skin, and dry beans and peas when adding foods to your cart.
-
Limit your portions when eating. Using a smaller plate can help with this. Split a restaurant meal with a companion.
-
Cook with less fat by using vegetable oil spray instead of butter or margarine. Lower the fat content of meats by trimming away all the fat you can see. Broil, roast, or boil instead of frying. Banish Gravy. Limit your intake of high-fat salad dressings as well as baked goods.
-
Always ask how foods are prepared and request that they be prepared with little or no added fat when dining out. Tip your waiter for telling you.
-
Trade whole-milk dairy products for nonfat or reduced-fat items like 1% milk, nonfat yogurt, and low-fat ice cream or cheese.
-
Choose lean meat, poultry without skin, fish, and dry beans and peas.

Why Women Punish Themselves
June 17th, 2010 by libertees
Why do we (women) punish ourselves! I used to be a woman who didn’t care what people thought of me, I am fat and plain. I didn’t want people’s perception of me to be PWT (poor white trash), but other than that my theory was, if you don’t like me don’t look ayt me or be around me. I would brush my hair, put on clean clothes, and brush my teeth. I would not put hours in doing my makeup and my hair or worry about wearing name brand clothes.
I would go to kareokee once a week and one night I noticed something; no-man would hit on me or flirt with me, or even glance my way. Now I am a married woman, and I love my husband very much and would never, never cheat on him, but it does make a woman feel good about herself when a man shows interest in her whether she is available or not. I was not getting any attention from the opposite sex at all, so if men at a bar was not interested in me am I still keeping my husbands attention as well. I started to watch women in general to see what they were doing to attract men and what I was not doing. I seen women on a daily basis loosing weight, and primping themselves and men were hitting on them or flirting with them. Here I am gray haired, fat and ugly. I was not primping or loosing weight. I then became obssessed about my appearance and how people would look at me. My best friend asked me what was wrong with me and I told her about my feelings, of course she did not understand, I never cared what people thought of me before so why change the person I was. She is skinny and beautiful she had no clue what I was feeling and why, she had never been fat or ugly. She had good advise but, it did not make sense to me because she was what I wanted to be, so it is easy for her to say these things.
I took a look at my friends and women all around me to see what they were doing to themselves and I came up with the conclusion women punish themselves on a daily basis for the world’s perseptions of beautiful. Women, exercise, diet, tweeze nip, tuck, stretch, roll, flatten, hours of applying perfect makeup, hours of fixing hair, wax, creams, lotions, dyes, perms, matching outfits with shoes, perfumes, pedicures, manicures, facial, scrubs, hot oils, polishs, and haircuts, all for the sake of beauty. Punishments to be beautiful, A thousand years ago women were all plain janes and yet they still attracted men. Why have we changed so much about what our perception of beauty is? We need to be happy withourselves whether we are fat, ugly, thin, or plain. It is our inner beauty that makes us beautiful in and out. It is not all this stuff that we punish ourselves with that deciedes if were are beautiful or young. We all grow old and even if you are 80 yrs old and had all the plastic surgerys in the world you are still going to look old but with alot of plastic all over you. Think about what image we are impressing on our children. Why don’t we change the way we think about beauty and realize that true beauty is within, not all this punishment of primping. Heres a challenge for all women, take a good look aroung and analyze why we punish ourselves for beauty. Lets change the world’s perception of beauty. Be beautiful on the inside and it will shine on the outside.

Low Carb Desserts
Luscious desserts and low-carb diets typically do not mix. Sugar is, of course, a carbohydrate. How can you have something “sweet” without using sugar?
Those of us who cook know that using artificial sweeteners changes the recipe, drastically. Things like saccharin have less “bulk” than straight sugar. So, trying to bake a sugar-free cake can be very difficult.
But, even sugar free cakes are not low carb desserts. Flour is also a carbohydrate. Eggs, milk and cheese are allowed on your low-carb diet. But, sugar and flour are not. So, what should you do?
How about cheesecake?
Typically, is made with heavy cream, cream cheese, eggs and additional egg yolks to add richness and a smooth consistency. Lemons, strawberries or chocolate shavings may be added for flavor. None of those ingredients are carbs, but of course, most recipes call for sugar and lots of it.
Once you add the carbs from the graham cracker crust, you have about 25 grams of carbohydrates in a 3.5 ounce serving. That’s a pretty small slice. But, cheesecakes can be , if they are properly prepared, without the sugar and “sans” crust.
It’s difficult (next to impossible, really) to make this kind of cheesecake at home, because, as I mentioned, sugar substitutes change the recipe. If you do get it to set, you also get an unpleasant aftertaste. It’s hardly worth the effort.
But, you can still serve delicious low carb desserts at home, with very little effort on your part. You can simply order it on-line.
Our own line options for serving a gourmet meal are simply amazing, to me anyway. We can stick to our diets, eat healthy, cater a dinner party or have a private affair for two, right in the luxury of our own homes.
When you consider the time it takes to cook a meal, the shopping, the cost of ingredients and the likelihood that the recipe will “flop”, I think catered meals are a cost-effective option. I don’t know about you, but my time is money.
My health is very important to me, but temptations are not always easy to resist. So, I try to be sure that I always have “healthy temptations”.
If you work full time and commute to your office, by the time you get in your daily work-out and get ready for dinner, you might be tempted to settle for fast-food or whatever’s in the fridge. That’s what happens to a lot of people, so they end up with an unsuccessful and unhealthy diet.
makes healthy delicious low carb desserts, suitable for a dinner party or an everyday treat. The taste is delicious and you can store them in the freezer, so that you’re prepared for those unexpected guests. What could be simpler?
