Comments (9)Suggestion for you ladies who are trying not to eat btwn meals. You're likely to lose MORE weight & keep it off longer if you DO eat btwn meals. It's better for you (as long as its healthy stuff like fruits, or veggies or greens w/ a bit of lemon & olive oil & clean proteins in small amounts (2-3 oz) or a handful of nuts (like 10 or 12 almonds or that amount of walnut halves or a handful of peanuts). Eating with greater frequency not only keeps the body better sated, but keeps the appetite more in check 'cause the blood sugar levels are more even & less extreme. This also reduces cravings after a couple of days. The less extreme the fluctuation of the blood sugar & therefore one's insulin levels, the less stressful it is on the body. It may sound counter-intuitive, but I sucessfully lost 20 lbs. in abt 4 or 5 wks, by doing this a couple of yrs. ago I also kept them off (for 2 yrs.) by doing this: 3 meals a day w/ 2 or 3 snacks in btwn, result was that I ate every 3 or 4 hrs (not a lot, but balanced). My energy levels evened out as well as my mood. For more info., check out the book called: Lose a Dress Size in 6 Days by Michael Thurman I have no financial interest in this at all, simply found it to be amazing & revelatory in how well it works. Mind you, I'm not married & have no kids, so I was able to handle the large amount of food prep & advance planning this required. Also the author only wants folks to be on this regimen for 6-7 days; maximum 10 days at a time. This worked AMAZINGLY WELL for me, wish the same for you. PS: Not eating btwn meals is simply not realistic & therefore actually sets up the person trying this, to fail. Then one can beat oneself up for failing (yet again, right)? I urge you to try something different (like above program). (PG) Karen...See MoreJanuary 2024 - Happy New Year
Comments (47)Kim, you are ahead of me, but you may be q 100 miles south of me also, so spring may hit you a little sooner. 32 tubs are a lot of tubs to fill, and of course you know how heavy they can get. Some of my tubs have onions in them, and the last time I checked they were doing well, but they are not bulbing onions. I have been using my perennial a lot, try to get Madge use to using them. I even used some winter onions, jalapenos and sweet potatoes in kraut and weiners at lunch, it sounds sickening, but it was good. I did not put the sweet potato slices in till everything else was about done. The sweet potatoes were still crunchy. I used the Red Wine Velvet sweet potatoes, which are pretty sweet. Madge is very kind to me, I like to experiment with everything I do. I have been out raking leaves to put on the garden, I wish they were shredded so they would stay in place better....See More2024 A New Year a New Game
