Tricia has already lost 110 pounds! She approached her weight loss this time by her own prescribed diet and exercise regimine; which means it is EXACTLY the right way. It took her over twenty years to figure out that she could do this without spending money on the lastest new fad, diet or diet pill. Her approach:
Why it is right and why it works:
There is nothing in her self described plan that tells her what she can and cannot eat. It took her about one month of using My Fitness Pal to familiarize herself with the calorie content in foods. Calorie content awareness and understanding nutritional values helps her make the right choices, allowing the concious decision to eat a food or not. Consuming only 1200 calories a day, helps you make the choices you want to make and ask yourself when you are tempted, “is it worth it?” If you have ever dieted and lost weight, you understand the natural progression and ease of saying no to certain foods once the weight starts coming off. Losing weight inspires. Each day is easier when you see results. Her initial goal was much less than 110 pounds. Here goals become larger as a natural progression of her acheivement and success. We will share her maintenance weight when she decides what she wants it to be. She is on FIRE! Health Inspires.

Butter, margarine, butter spreads and oils. It is confusing on which is healthiest with the abundance of mixed marketing and heart healthy labels, marketing and; did I say marketing? Seeing people I love pick up the tub of butter that says “made with olive oil” because of olive oil's known heart healthy benefits, fuels my desire to clear up any marketing misconceptions and write this blog. If you look closely at the ingredient panel, you will see that this specific product is made with partially hydrogenated oil. Not good; and not the olive oil you think you are getting. Here are clinically based evidence facts mixed in with my opinions. The Bad: Saturated Fats The Ugly: Trans fats The Good: Unsaturated Fats Butter is a saturated fat. Butter tastes good. Butter is real. Butter should be used in moderation. Butter is a Saturated Fat
Margarine is a trans fat (most cases). Margarine tastes ok. Margarine is processed. Margarine should be used in moderation if used at all. Margarines and Some Butter Spreads contain Trans Fats:
My preferred Butter Spread is Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter with Canola Oil:
Canola oil is a mono-unsaturated fat. Canola oil is a good, heart healthy fat. Canola oil is still a fat. Fats should be consumed in moderation. Canola oil is a good choice when choosing oils for sautéing meats or veggies, marinades, and in dressings. Canola Oil is an Unsaturated Fat:
