Everyday there is a glut of information about how to slim down.
We’ve got the Flat Belly Diet, The Cabbage Diet, Acai Berry Diet, Special K diet, The Bernie Madoff go to prison for 150 years and see if you feel like eating diet, The Ruth Madoff I can’t get served, let alone fed, in any restaurant diet. Just to name a few. Every diet works.
Keeping it off, as we know (that would be all you honorary, current and future members of the Yo-Yo club) is the challenge.
I have no insights, answers or suggestions.
What I do have is indignation. For recently, I read that menopausal women can expect, in addition to mood swings and sweats to gain weight without increasing their caloric intake. Fascinating piece of info, right?
Fat, sweaty, bitchy. Helluva combo.
Apparently, as we age, the body burns fewer calories. The metabolism slows.
Chewing faster doesn’t seem to be the antidote.
It requires a more concerted effort of increasing aerobic exercise and eating less that 1500 calories a day. For, at the end of the day, all the fad diets notwithstanding, nutritionists tell us it’s about calories in and calories out.
Tri-athlon anyone?
