Just when you thought it was safe to drink something you thought was “healthy”, think again…..including a water drink. WATER! Just more proof companies DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. They care about you CASH!

LINK: List of the 20 worst drinks out there.

I am not going to tell you who the winner was but I can tell the list looks delicious. I am a label reader now and I know I don’t like more than about 10g of sugar in my drinks or artificial sweeteners.

Phase 3 – Not as easy as you think


2010
04.04

While plenty of people complain about phase 2, and I share your complaints, food boredom and being hungry are two of the big ones. phase 3 is a bit more tricky than you think. The upside is that you get to add some things to your meals. This is a double edged sword. The next 3 weeks of phase 3 is an experiment in food. You have to find out what you body can take and what it is going to disapprove of. I have found out that salt, salty products and soy sauce (mixed with water) can do horrible things to my weight. I spiked yesterday, but with plenty of water and some green tea things are back to normal. Kelly has not been so luck and today is going to be a true test of will and endurance.

So when the blogs and others tell you to keep track of everything you eat it’s for a reason. You want to stabilize your weight but at the same time know what makes it go up and makes it go down. My other issue has been being full. Phase 3 seems to be very filling and at times maybe to filling. Learn to listen to your tummy. It takes the stomach about 20 minutes to tell your brain it’s full, so eat slowly, drink water with your meal and try to enjoy each bit. When you are full you need to stop. This practice will also show you how much to cook so you don’t waste food. It’s like learning to eat all over again. Good luck!
