Diets Don't Work

I was surfing around again. Actually I had googled something along the line of how many dieters maintained weight loss. I came across a blog that led me to this study in which much care was taken to see just how effective diets really are. As I read it, I came to this conclusion:

For MOST people diets DON'T WORK in the long run.

EXERCISE IS WHAT KEEPS WEIGHT OFF. And it's most likely what gets it off too.

Week Three- Day Five -- a write off (JULY 4th)

I guess it could be worse....

Breakfast: Multi grain cheerios with milk and a banana (340)

Lunch: I ate with the Huntsville Nordstroms. Jef bought a new BBQ grill and tried it out grilling ribs, polish sausage, hot dogs, burgers and corn in the husk.

And Jeni fixed baked beans, potato salad, and peach cobbler.
















I was well fed.

She made some of the yummiest BBQ sauce.

It was a very simple recipe of ketchup, white vinegar, black pepper and some Worcestershire sauce.

There are 15 calories in 1 Tbsp of Heinz tomato ketchup. I ate many tablespoons, but in all fairness, that was diluted with white vinegar. There are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup.

I'm sure I didn't eat a half of a cup of BBQ sauce. 1/2 cup of nothing but the ketchup would have been 120. So, I guess it's better than eating mayonnaise even if you eat a bunch of it. (One tablespoon of Kraft mayonnaise is 50 calories. A half a cup of mayonnaise would e 400 calories.)

I'm afraid I really pigged out on the BBQ sauce and the ribs.

While googling for these pictures I ran up on this recipe for BBQ sauce that really sounded like something I'd like to try.
