I Am Announcing The Best Diet Secrets!

01.04. Welcome April!

How much time left to wear bikinis, sir? 2 months? 3 months?

For how long, we have been eating chocolates (Chocolate Foreveeeer!)? Since October? (Sorry, not me this time, Dukan made me survive this year) ;)

I have ordered my brand new bathroom scale already. Latest technology. As if it is going to make me lose weight any time I step on it… (Sigh)

OK. So I have been spending some time on one of the books of Dr.Oz. “You: On a Diet”. It is about waist management. He is trying to convince you that the point that you need to focus on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates if you are storing too much fat.

Of course a big true. But what do you mean? Get rid of the scales and buy measuring tapes? Measure your waist every week?

Not my cup of tea. Especially for a person like me, who steps on the scale every 3 days.

But thanks, I am now convinced that the ideal waist size is not 60cm, if you are not planning to be a VS Angel. And one point that I have picked is that some antioxidant and anti-inflammatory foods, such as green tea, beer (seriously, but come on not liters of beer) and coffee (yay!) prevent the inflammation, so that gaining weight, which excess fat causes.

This was so interesting: If you are depressed; you tend to eat more sugar, if you are stressed out; you tend to eat salty stuff, if you are angry; you tend to eat crispy foods, if you feel anxious of worried about something; you tend to eat sweet and soft foods like ice-cream, pudding or custard. If you feel lonely or got disappointed about your sexual life; you want to eat pastry, the foods which make you feel full!

Hmm. Let’s pay attention next time.

One more point. Turkey! Eating a few slices of turkey makes you feel fuller than the other cold cuts. It also prevents your carb cravings. Totally true. Smoked turkey was my best of best friend during Dukan.

…and of course sweet cravings! Dr. Oz suggests eating fruits with cinnamon. Cinnamon is the cheater! It fools the body. Whenever you eat some cinnamon, your body “thinks” your each cell is enjoying the dessert you are eating.

I don’t like cinnamon. But a piece of dark chocolate does the job as well. (Plus, the happiness!)

Anyway, I am not a fan of Dr. Oz. I just wanted to share some points which were interesting for me.

Closing words are from Mösyö Dukan today: “I couldn't stand the idea of putting people on a diet for life. That would be impossible - there is far too much pleasure to be had in eating!”

Oh man… I love him!

See y’all soon!
