Morning Buzz: Food diary

How aware are you of what you eat? WebMD.com reports that a new study shows keeping a food diary may help you lose extra weight. The study (which appeared in the America Journal of Preventive Medicine) looked at close to 1700 overweight Americans over 25 years old.

The study participants were encouraged to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Then, they kept food diaries for six months. They also met in weekly groups to go over what they were eating.

After the six months, on average, participants lost close to 13 pounds.

Do you keep a food diary? Do you think it helps you make healthier food choices?

Dear Diary..

Today I ate 46 jelly beans and a Snickers bar…before breakfast..while I watched Chris Still’s bad hair day report..

I have noticed that the closer he gets to the number 1…the more he looks like Austin Powers..

I just found another jelly bean between the cushions on the couch..

I wonder what Cecil is cooking today…

P.S. That Lyra Manning is a hottie…

Yeah Boy..I could see how that would help me lose weight…;)

I have never tried it, but it may help to develop healthier eating habbits. I’m no health expert, but I’m not sure if eating a candy bar before breakfast fits anywhere into the daily food pyramid wink

As I have previously stated..my young wife is not from this country..and she is just learning to cook..

For breakfast this morning she had one of those McDonald’s meals..pancakes..bacon and something yellow that could easily pass for scrambled eggs..

She gave me sardines and Cocoa Pebbles..and I had a candy cane for dessert..that was left over from last Christmas…

Somebody reading this..Please get me out of here…:)

Ha…I had weight watchers breakfast and lunch. I just started on MOnday, and by God, I am going to lose some weight.
I have to put what I eat or drink in, and I am doing it online. It really does help to see how bad or how much you eat.
The main thing is I have to cut out the screwdrivers and drink lite beer. It tasted pretty good last night, after playing tennis.
I can do it…..

At the end of October last year I was blown away to find out I am a diabetic. The reason I was blown away is that to my knowledge there is none of that in my family. As a result I have lost about 35 pounds which is just a little more than my goal of 175 which was where I was 10 years ago when I gave up the smokes.

If you want to loose weight the right way, slowly, eat as though you are a diabetic. If I had done that a long time ago I may not be one now. Diabetes is epidemic. Ask Cecil Chandler, he was diagnosed about the same time I was and he has also lost a bunch. It is not fun because I love food. It is a curse, but there a lot of curses a lot worse than that, unless you have it real bad. Fortunately I do not,(yet).

Try jelly rolls with chocolate milk for breakfast Wolf. Better for you than jelly beans, (I think)

So the philosophy behind all of this…if I have it correct…

...is to eat bad…write it down…read it…feel bad…and do better..

Even Mahatma Gandhi couldnt have come up with something this complex..wink

Thanks Dave…but my hopes were to be air-lifted out of here..placed in the witness relocation program and possibly be taken to IHOP’s for a decent breakfast..

You have it about right Wolf. It sux too. Call the SCANG, they’ll lift you out. Surely you can do better than IHOP for a good breakfast.

By the way, did Lewis really delete your subscription from Bazaar News Wolf? What’s with the registered trade mark?

Posted by  on  07/10  at  03:22 PM

I’ve never had a subscription to anything..that I know of…

It is a “Myrtle Beach” thang…they made them register me as a pet..

It’s embarrassing…but I’m used to it now..

Must be a different Wolf.

Thus..the reason for the registered symbol..

I dont mind so much being mistaken for Lyra out in public..but I dont wanna be confused with every Wolf on the Internet..

..those people say the wildest things ya know…I consider myself a bit more conservative..wink

Beck,
Can you count a screwdriver as a fruit serving?


Dave,
How come your blogs get on the air?

Wolf,
I look forward to your responses! Too bad the general public wouldn’t appreciate your wit… I’d kill to hear Lyra read one of your blogs one morning!! Chris Still would probably be speechless.

No, screwdrivers are a thing of the past, for right now. LOL It’s Coors Lite right now. Vodka and oj have too many points.
I was doing pretty good, I thought….had lost 4 pounds, but this am, I was only 1.5 pounds down. And I am not even drinking…well, if you count 3 beers.
Just saw a good movie..Little Children. Chick flick…:-)
