Simple Food – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

Photo from left: me, Josh, Miranda, Krissie and Tina (missing our hosts, Ashley and Marques in this photo)

I don’t want to use the word epic to describe this weekend, but it pretty much was. We laughed, ate, walked, ate, laughed, talked, walked, visited and took photos all weekend. It was pretty grand. We visited three memorials, saw the rain-beaten cherry blossom trees, missed Obama at the Licoln memorial by just a bit, and ate some glorious food.

I think I will do a post dedicated just to food, because we ate well and there needs to be a food post. I took photos of everything I ate and tried to be as mindful as possible when faced with a plate of fries and gyro meat or cashew chicken.

The drive home yesterday left me bloated and retaining water like a mouse in the desert heat. I’m parched and my ankles are swollen. I’m ready to start eating simple food again. Planning a trip to the gym tonight for strength training and getting back into insanity. I’m back to the real world with a mountain of projects to catch up with. I’m thinking I’m going to have to push Spring/Summer Wear it Well back a week or two to get caught up. It’s going to be good, I can promise that.

I’ll be back this evening with the food for today and some more DC photos.

Fast Fat Loss – How to Lose Fat and not Gain it Back

When you go on a diet you want to lose your excess fat as quickly as possible. Each has its own rhythm, but it is possible to lose many pounds in a few weeks. In fact, I personally lost over 30 lbs. in as little as two months.
Many diet plans promise you a large and rapid mass loss. It seems tempting, I know, but only a handful of diet can keep that promise, so that you can maintain your weight loss. Most diets May provide initial rapid fat loss, but it can be destructive in the long run. You may end up gaining more than you lost. How can you ensure that your fast fat loss is healthy and you go away?
Here are some simple steps you can do to ensure that you will lose fat fast and keep it off:
Rapid weight loss:
1. Set goals – When I wanted to lose weight, I knew exactly where I wanted my diet to follow. I had a target weight and I was determined to get there. Determination plays a key role in your diet success.
2. Drop the soda and junk food – Junk food and all sorts of sodas inhibit your weight loss. Cut them out of your system and you will experience and break fast fat loss.
3. Do light exercise – If you've been inactive for a long period, even light exercise can turbo charge your body burn lots of fat in a short time.
How to maintain your weight loss:
1. Do not starve yourself – Avoid low fat diets low in carbohydrates. Above all, avoid diets low in calories. These diets can get you the initial results, but you are setting up a fall. You can not stick to these plans for an extended period as your body will get used to small amounts of food or will not be able to manage certain food groups as well as it should.
2. Keep setting goals – Remember where you were and where you want to be. Keep your goals in plain view and it will help you maintain your weight loss.
3. Use a simple food – sure to understand the diet you use and why it works. Make sure it is easy to use. While it is difficult or expensive food or implies something that is difficult to find, it will be difficult to meet. It may provide rapid loss of fat at first, but it will not last.
