Progress Report: 1 March 2019
A new month and February was a success.
It has been a good week with about 2 pounds lost. I now weight about 222-223 and I need to lose about 6-8 pounds in 6 weeks. I am down a few pounds, my pants fit better, and I feel great.
Research: Beef as a part of a higher protein diet for weight loss
Lean Beef can be a successful part of a high-protein diet for weight loss.
Everywhere I turn, someone is suggesting a vegetarian diet or avoiding red meat. Red meat is a central part of much of the western diets and a major contributor to overall protein intake within the United States. The animal rights folks continuously try to guilt us into avoiding animal meat or will use science to encourage meat eaters to limit or cease eating meat. Most of us find it extremely difficult to avoid meat and to be honest, I am not sure I would want to cut meat completely out of my diet. The question is whether red mean can be a healthy part of a weight loss diet?
Weight loss tip: Eat Eggs
Eggs can help you lose weight!
You have probably read somewhere, been told by a friend or doctor, or watch a TV show that has indicated that you should avoid eggs as a part of your daily breakfast. They have been tied to more dastardly poor health conditions than the most villainous of comic book heroes. The problem is that these recommendations could not be further from the truth. In fact, when eaten the right way and in moderation, eggs are a healthy source of protein and will keep your mind functioning and your belly feeling full. Best of all, eating eggs can be part of a balanced diet that may also help you lose a few inches around your waist.
Research: No evidence artificial sweeteners provide benefits
The evidence is lacking to back the use of artificial sweeteners.
Non-sugar sweeteners or artificial sweeteners have been around for hundreds of years. Medical providers have recommended them to patients for decades to help reduce patient risks for obesity and Diabetes. It just makes sense that they would work to decrease the risk of both. The sweeteners have nearly zero calories and are replacing sugar which is what we measure when we suspect that you have Diabetes.
