Logical Weight Loss

I just watched the move Sugar Coated on Netflix. You need to watch this voice because we are getting more an more sugar pumped into our food, and more and more of us are becoming diabetics. Studies are showing this is not a coincidence. Take time to watch these, cause we are taking so much sugar we are poisoning ourselves.

There was an article on Mindful Eating at Spark People it has some interesting points.

Meal Prep Heaven 7 Day Container

Umoro One Multi function Water Bottle & Drink Shaker w/ Top-End Storage - Portable "Protein Blender" for The Fitness Minded

I'm not entirely sold on the Umoro One. The idea is it's a shaker bottle that stores the power/smoothie items in the top of the bottle. When you choose you press a button and the power/mix hits your water and it turns into a shaker bottle. The idea being you can use it as a water bottle an then when you're ready to add some protein, etc you press a button. I thought that was cool until I saw where it's a one time use of adding the power. The price is $25, and for me it doesn't fir a need. Check it out.

Today I talk about a study that tied money to weight loss.

As researchers found, the group that faced the possibility of losing cold, hard cash worked out about 50 percent more than the group that had no incentive. 

See study

The other thing I wanted to share is how much better I felt coming home to a clean house. Since so much of weight loss is mental, why not get off the couch and do some cleaning. You will burn more calories than sitting on the couch, and you make yourself feel better.

Normally I say turn off the Television, but I found a tv show that is interesting. It's called Fit to Fat to Fit. It shows trainers gaining TONS of weight so that they can then lose it with their clients. The part that I found interesting is the mental meltdown that the trainers have once they gain their weight (we are talking 40-80 lbs). They are irritable. They cry. They break up with their significant others because they argue more. They doubt their worth. This happens in every episode. You just see them crashing and burning, crying, doubting, wanting to smash things, but in some cases wanting to just give up.

You think it would be fun to eat whatever you want, but you see this is not all its cracked up to be. 

So if you find yourself depressed, irritable, slugish, it's time to get on the treadmill. It's time to lose start eating better, and exercising more.

 The Shamrock shae kis back at McDonald's. This lovely shake packs 93 grams of sugar. This would be 18.6 teaspoons of sugar (according to http://www.convertunits.com/). According to the American Heart Sociaety our maximum sugar intake is 9 teaspoons per day for men and 6 for women. So a Shamrock shake has almost TWICE the amount of sugar (for men) and THREE TIMES as much for Women. Then (don't forget) you are probably going to eat something else the rest of the day.
