Diet To Go!

More about my fatigue vs. me strategies…

Did I mention that I have “falling over a cliff” fatigue that seems to be getting worse, not better? lol. Oh yeah, I mentioned that yesterday.

There’s got to be a way to manage this with diet and exercise, I just haven’t hit the right combo yet, so my next step is going raw. I hear all of these great things from the raw foodies on how incredible raw makes you feel. Sure, that’s all anecdotal and everything, but some of these folks have lived through chronic fatigue to find that raw, while no miracle cure, improved their quality of life.  I don’t believe in miracle cures and snake oils, so I’m going into this thing with a very experimental attitude.  Read More »

What’s Up Peeps? Fatigue, Raw and Uncooked.

My fatigue feels like it is going to kill me. Yeah, it’s that scary. And whenever I see a Dr. about it I get the “you’re fat” lecture before I can even get the “but i lost 50lbs” out of my mouth. When you are fat, that’s all they care about!

Anyhow… I’m not terribly enamoured with the medical industry in the USA. When I was super-fat I got the same “you’re fat” medical treatment, er.. or should I say “non-treatment.” Being fat is like being a smoker, it doesn’t matter what is wrong with you it’s always the fat or the smoking causing it. Which is really just on-the-job laziness by these M.D. Gods. But I digress. Read More »

Why You NEED a NEEDAK Rebounder.

Disclosure: Yes, Needak is a sponsor of this site. Yes, I own one of these awesome rebounders. Yes, it’s the most comfortable and effective exercise for fatties apart from swimming.

Yes, you are going to lose weight if you are restricting your calories and hopping around on this thing for an hour everyday.

Hate exercise? Don’t we all? The Needak Rebounder literally changed my life. I didn’t start shedding weight until I started using this because I simply could not exercise or find the time to exercise.

You’ll find yourself randomly hopping on this thing throughout the day if you put it in your office like I do.

Whole Foods Inc., Fatties and Smokers

Whole Foods supermarket gives %30 discount to employees that are “fit and non-smoking.” Fatties and smokers get %20 discount. lol.

I’m calling a fail whale on this one.

It seems counter productive to do this, no? If you want your fat and smoking employees to get healthy, I don’t know… it makes more sense to give the bigger discount to the employees that need it the most? Call me crazy, but this %20 for fatties and %30 for the beautiful people seems more like “punishment” rather than a genuine concern with getting people healthy.

As we all know, “punishment” does not work. The fatty or smoker employed at Whole Foods will be less likely to shop in store if the discount can’t match what they can find at a less expensive venue.  We all know that the food that is the worst for you, is the cheapest.

Brown Rice For Breakfast

It has been my experience that brown rice makes a great breakfast!  It’s very filling, high in fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. At around 200 calories a cup it really does pack a lot of nutrition and energy.  I’m going to share my recipe for a tasty and sweet breakfast treat that’s really good for you.  Hint: I buy the jasmine brown rice and add a half a teaspoon or so of tea leaves to the rice while cooking. Tea leaves do something totally amazing to the rice in terms of flavor. If you have never tried this technique with your rice I would encourage you to do so!
