Chocolate or Chips...
Chocolate or Chips...
I have a good friend who can't rest if she knows there is any
chocolate cake in her house until she has completely devoured it. She told me that she can pack away an entire cake in one sitting
!!!
I won't even look twice at a chocolate cake; but I'm the same way with a bag of
potato chips as my friend is with her chocolate cake--very much like Karlynn described. And if I know there's sour cream in the fridge and green onion dip mix in the pantry (NOT french onion), well LOOK OUT
!!! I can hardly rest until it's all gone. I feel like a big potato chip when I'm finished though. And I'm really sorry. Until the next time
. So I try not to have any loose bags of that evil stuff lounging around in my pantry, calling out to me.
What I've read about the South Beach Diet makes a lot of sense to me. However, I have a book that a friend recommended that also makes a lot of sense to me,
Dr. Abravanal's Body Type Diet, a
New York Times bestseller. He breaks us down into four groups based on our dominant gland, which he theorizes we tend to overstress and deplete. So we find what our dominant gland is and eat things that allow it to rest while also eating things that make the other three glands take over. I don't know if it works. "I couldn't have coffee with the diet for my body type, and frankly, I'd rather be plump," she said as she threw back another cup of joe.
But recently I've been trying to bring down my cholesterol with diet and I actually and accidently dropped ten pounds doing it. I think it might have been from all of the natural fibers. Vegetables and fruits are important. And be sure you drink plenty of water; I think that's important with every good diet.
