Posted April 20th, 2010 at 8:51 am in Low Carb
Way back in January 08 the LC Golfer talked about the causes of a slice, particularly as it relates to men, saying that belly fat was a huge problem. Well, it's s a much bigger problem than I thought with implications that abdominal fat, if allowed to get out of control, WILL eventually lead to diabetes and heart issues. Speaking for myself, 60 years-old, overweight, yet still "healthy" I have been dodging bullets too long. Now it's a question of when, not if, something weird will happen and believe me, I do not want that!
Healthy Perspectives is the New Low Carb
Don't we have enough problems already? To throw health problems on top of everything else, when we have the power to do something about it? Seems a shame, doesn't it? So what better time for me (or anyone else) to get serious about a plan to get control of my body back?
Fortunately the answer to all my problems may have just arrived on the scene in time to save me from myself. There may be a way after all to eat low-carb and not have to overload on protein. Been there done that!
Healthy Perspectives just opened their doors in my home town, and after attending several of their functions, tasting the food, perusing their shelves, I am excited about the possibilities. Healthy Perspectives is about "creating your best quality of life "Naturally"
I attended their grand opening and open house on April 16th and I got to sample some of the things you get to eat when you join their program. More about that later on but as an Atkins and South Beach advocate for many years I can tell you that this place is different. Last night I attended an introductory session given by Healthy Perspectives owner, Cindy Bryant. All I can say after that is – where do I sign?
This next bit is totally amateur video at it's finest but I was in a hurry to get it posted so I could talk to Cindy about my role in getting the word out about this wonderful program. And demonstrate to her and Daniel, her husband, just what a genius I am at online promotion and social media marketing!

Our friends at Phoenix Country Club are up to their old tricks again, drawing accusations of discriminatory practices. It's the second time in the past three years that the club has come under scrutiny involving discrimination.
In the first instance, a 2007 complaint launched an investigation by the Arizona Attorney General's Office's Civil Rights Division over the club's long-standing tradition of separate drinking and dining facilities for men and women members. After a protracted battle, the club ended up losing that one and opened up their dining facilities to all.
This time a female club member has filed suit in court, claiming that the club's board members breached their contract with her by taking full membership dues and failing to offer her the same services as men members. She alleges that the club's female members are no longer able to play in tournaments. This lady decided she had had enough, resigned, and asked for her dues back. No way says the club.

Remember the Dagwood Sandwich?
When I was a kid I used to watch in awe as my Dad chowed down on a sandwich he made with liverwurst or other deli items (usually a Dagwood size, if you recall what that was and if you are too young to know about a Dagwood sandwich, well, just think huge). He would rub his hands together in anticipation, open his mouth as wide as he could, and take these monster bites, rolling his eyes and moaning with pleasure. He didn't restrict his great white shark bites to just sandwiches either, just about anything he consumed was done in a manner that suggested it might be his last meal.
Take All You Want but Eat All You Take
Of course, later on when my mouth could handle it I too started eating like my Dad, a way that I convinced myself had me enjoying food more. I didn't just pick up this eating style during my stint in the Marine Corps, although I ate fast most of the time because I was extremely hungry or was in a hurry to get somewhere. The marines will tell you "take all you want, but eat all you take". Read the rest of this entry »
