so. im one week soda free. caffeine free for that matter. im also on a new diet. since i moved here to GA iv prolly gained about 20 lbs, and im not too pleased. So im back on the nutrition plan i was on last year. keeping my fat intake low, no fast food, no junk food, less snacking, and smaller portions.

while its all good for me, my system is still adjusting. my stomach is very grumbly and im pretty fatigued after only a little activity. its my system getting used to running on normal energy…

so hopefully, this and my jogging will help me drop at least 5 lbs by the end of july.

that’d be nice.

The False Fat Diet: The Revolutionary 21-Day Program for Losing the Weight You Think Is Fat

Product Description
“I can’t loose weight because I have a terrible metabolism” You may not realize it, but you can take control of your metabolism. Identical twins and registered dietitians, Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy Lakatos Shames embarked on a twin study to determine precisely what does — and doesn’t — increase the rate at which our bodies burn calories and fat. Their findings? Small changes have big results. The nine weight-loss principles — and the 200 tips that help you incorporate them into your lifestyle — in Fire Up Your Metabolism are surprisingly simple: Eat breakfast before you get to work. Learn which sugary snacks trump others (peanut M&Ms boost metabolism, but Twizzlers don’t). Drink water, which is essential to burning calories. Always eat dinner, even if it’s late. Focus on muscle building, not cardiovascular workouts. With Fire Up Your Metabolism, you won’t have to avoid restaurants or follow a diet (though one is included if you like r… More >>

Fire Up Your Metabolism: 9 Proven Principles for Burning Fat and Losing Weight Forever

Product Description
An intimate and darkly comic memoir of a woman who does a 180 with her body.

When she was in her early forties, Frances Kuffel lost half her body weight. In Passing for Thin, Frances describes with unflinching honesty and a wickedly dark sense of humor her first fumbling introductions to her newly slender body, shining a light on the shared human experience of feeling uncomfortable in one’s own skin. She gradually moves from observer to player—enjoying for the first time flirting, exercising, and shopping–as she explores the terrain on the “Planet of Thin.” As Frances gradually comes to know—and love—the stranger in the mirror, she learns that her body does not define her, but enables her to become the woman she’s always wanted to be….

Passing for Thin: Losing Half My Weight and Finding My Self

Product Description
A funny, painfully honest memoir about five women as they diet and eat, lose and gain, and struggle to find their individual definition of freedom along the way

Like so many women, Frances Kuffel wondered: how could this happen again? She’d transformed her life by losing 188 pounds-but, like the vast majority of dieters, she transformed it again by gaining over half those pounds back. After all the struggle and hard work she somehow lost control, once again forced to carry nearly unbearable physical and psychological weight.

But she also found new friends, in particular, four women in similar situations-and similar bad moods-whom she met online. Frances, Lindsay, Katie, Mimi, and Wendy dubbed themselves the Angry Fat Girlz and shared not just rage but embarrassment and fear, fragile hope, and a mutual obsession with shoes. They asked themselves-and each other-the difficult questions: Who am I inside all this weight? How much am I… More >>

The latest evolution in health and fitness, the unique, proven “Schwarzbein Principle” will revolutionalize the way millions of people look at eating, losing weight, and maintaining optimal health.Amazon.com Review
From her work with insulin-resistant patients with Type II diabetes, Dr. Schwarzbein concludes that low-fat diets cause heart attacks, eating fat makes you lose body fat, and it’s important to eat high-cholesterol foods every day. Picture cardiologists and dieticians tearing their hair out and overweight people cheering as they dive into Eggs Benedict with sausage. According to Schwarzbein, the high-carbohydrate, low-fat, moderate-protein diet that most dieticians and disease-prevention organizations recommend is the culprit that turns people into diabetics, makes them age faster and get degenerative diseases, and keeps them fat and unhealthy. She supports her theory with case studies of people who were sick and miserable on… More >>
