Weekly Weigh In
May 11, 2007 By

Lower Your Energy Density
May 10, 2007 By
If you may be struggling to lose weight and at times it can be frustrating when the scales don’t move then it might be worth looking at your energy density to see if you are eating enough water in your diet not drinking it but eating it. In simplistic terms eating more foods that contain water such as fruits and vegetables and low fat foods.
In a recent study which revolved around “energy density” which is based around calories per gram fat being 9 cal per gram and water having none, foods that contain a lot of water such as fruit and vegetables and soup are more calorie dense so you can eat more but without gaining weight.
Dr Barbara Rolls who commissioned the study said
“Increase the water content of foods you eat and decrease the fat content,” Roll said.
This lays the foundation for her diet which is called Volumetrics in this particular study people where studied for six months 658 participants where told to do the following one group had a single counselling session the remaining two had eighteen sessions in total the ones that had the counselling where to told to cut energy intake and exercise more, and on top of that do something called (DASH) which is short for
dietary approaches to stop hypertension.
Which focuses on the consumption of more fruit and vegetables and water based foods and low fat food options, what was found from the study was this all three groups lost weight no great surprise there you might say, but all three groups where then combined to see the differences between all three, those who reduced there energy reduction by the most lost more weight than the others five point nine kilograms (13 pounds) to be exact. Compare that with the ones who didn’t reduce there energy density who lost two point three kilograms (5 pounds).
Also eating this way you can eat more food without any worry of any added gain approx 300 grams more, I never used to bother eating soup at one time so glad I did now after readfing this brings it home more.

Im a Fat Slob
May 8, 2007 By
Just been reading a post on Spiders blog about the dark side and such which hits upon sensitivity within males and how you can get upset when people say something like your a fat slob in there comments box well I can see how that might upset some people but in a way when you are fat that’s all the more reason to lose the weight.
It’s just telling like it is it can be sensitive issue I know being overweight but all the more reason to get angry and deal with the problem itself in the end it’s for all our own benefit to get healthier lose more weight and use the things that people say to get where we are going so to summarise.
Im a fat slob ish but getting slimmer please leave as many comments as you can in the comments box so I can read them in fact the more the better also can you be creative when you leave a comment make sure it has maximum impact so much to cause a stop to my posting.
There’s only a couple of things really you can say about losing weight it takes determination, focus hard work in a word it’s not easy but if you work at it you will get there.
Becoming less slobbier and more slimmer ahmen.

Hi everyone it’s check in time again so as I climb up to get on the scales, and see what they are telling me, well not much this week but no gain either, still Im not disappointed really been here before just need to work a bit harder and tweak things here and there is all I think, still hovering around the 89.5 kg mark so no real change, but it won’t deter me still want to get to my target weight. I can see it in my mind in the not to distant future. So just need to keep on fat busting as they say. In fact in the not to near distant future I might not have a tyre so might need to change the name.
Here is how it looks for regular readers.

That the way your fast food is presented may be doctored, have a look at these pictures and it all becomes to clear as to how the picture should show the food and actually reality.
Someone on boing boing who brought the link to light said
“I worked (briefly) in the photogoraphy studio of one of the biggest ad agencies in NYC. They paid a professional “food stylist” around $2000 a day to make the food look like that. Every golden sesame seed or drop of crystaline dew was hand placed. That maoynaise isn’t mayo, it’s hair gel and that chicken looks so good because aparently everything looks yummier when it’s been sprayed with laquer. A lot of that “food” isn’t food at all and the stuff that is food has been treated with more chemicals and “tricks of the trade” than most super models.”
