Where Can I Get A Meat Tuxedo

In a better late than never scenario…I learned that Lady GaGa wore
a meat dress to some Hollyweird event. And since technology now
gifts us with TMI (too much information), I got to see a picture of
it, before placing my order for breakfast. What a way to start your
day!

Needless to say, the joint didn’t have anything strong enough to
wash that image away and my pocket flask was empty. (It’s been empty
since the mid eighties, when I did a perfect job replacing a woman’s
hip, except for the fact that it pointed the wrong way…or
something like that… Just kidding!)

That didn’t really happen, but the singer, did appear in a meat
dress and now she wants the Charlie Sheen Suite at the Plaza,
complete with actress/porn star/escort/hooker/take your pic.

The whole enchilada got me thinking about a meat tuxedo, the kind of
outfit you would wear for a visit to a vegan restaurant, or a
meeting of raw food enthusiasts. If Lady Gaga could pull it off, why
not me? I would have to solicit some donations, because my research
tells me that that the “meat dress” cost around 100K to pull off
(design fees and all.)

Sort of a shame that you couldn’t at least BBQ some of it, but who
knows where a GaGa has been.

Then, I thought about getting myself some of that “stimulus” money,
of which there are billions, still sitting in warehouses around the
country. I even wrote a letter to the Democrats offering to “shovel”
it into my car. Think about it, I begged, at least you’ll have 1
shovel ready job you can tell your constituents about, before they
vote you out of office. Or, they could put the money on Pelosi’s
private plane and fly me the money, before she loses her
priviledges. (What a shame!)

In a parenthetical, possibly apocryphal story, Pelosi was stopped by
police in southern California last week and told the officer she
didn’t think they wrote tickets for pretty women. As he wrote her
up, he said, “You’re right, we don’t.”

I’m wondering what cut of meat would make a good cummerbund? Perhaps
I should call Ralph Lauren. He seems like a manly man. Hopefully,
he’s up to the challenge. Or, maybe I should call Vito Scarfaccia,
my old butcher in New York. But it all depends on the government,
which means nothing is going to happen. The meat tuxedo may just go
the way of the mansierre and the coffee table book about coffee
tables.

One of the Dr. Bill family reports that she has lost 18 pounds by
following my fat loss program and taking my Powerhouse Omega
Formula. She also reports higher energy levels and feeling a little
lighter on her feet:

Hey Charlie How Was Your Weekend

It’s Wednesday and the Charlie Sheen story just keeps getting bigger
and bigger. It has all the right elements: a good looking, rich guy,
a famous New York hotel, hookers, nekkid folks, booze, drugs, cops,
hospitals, psychiatrists and a private flight back to La La Land,
where Charlie goes back to work, like nothing happened at all.

Today, Charlie said the whole incident was overblown and he may have
a point.

The “President’s” son was in New York with ex-wife Denise (nice abs)
Richards and his two daughters from that short lived marriage, to
celebrate something or other, exactly what I can’t put my finger on,
and since that was relatively normal, nobody really cares.

There was something about going to a Broadway play and so on and
such forth. After putting the kids to bed, Charlie decided to do
what he does best, which is get together with hookers and hooch
(both of which were probably supplied by someone at the hotel). Now,
I don’t have proof positive about that, but I know New York.

Somewhere in the middle of hookers, hooch and nekkidness, Charlie
lost his wallet and supposedly went ballistic, smashing furniture,
scaring the hooker (who called police from the bathroom…) and
voila…a story is born, which we’re still reading about, long after
Charlie has gone back to work on the sitcom that pays him $1.8
million dollars an episode. (Which is nice work, if you can get it.)

But somehow…when you think about it…the story doesn’t make much
sense.

1) It is not a crime to be nekkid in your luxury suite at the Plaza
Hotel.

2) It is not a crime to be drinking hooch nekkid in your luxury
suite.

3) Technically…it is a crime to have a hooker nekkid in your
luxury suite, but when was the last time anybody was prosecuted for
that? (New York even let off it’s ex-Governor, Elliot Spitzer…now
on CNN…where all liberal politicians do their penance.)

4) In footage of the supposedly damaged luxury suite, I saw an
overturned chair and a broken vase, along with rumpled bed sheets.
How that adds up to $7,000 is beyond me. (Maybe they were quoting
the room rate.)

5) Charlie was taken to see a psychiatrist at… 3 AM? (Who just
happened to be… right around the corner?)

6) Who provided all the information to the press?

Wanna guess?

The Plaza Hotel, which has had it’s name all over television,
newspapers and radio for days…for FREE! They got the very best
publicity $7,000 could bring (a real bargain!) and they can probably
keep the story going for a few more days.

As for Charlie, he’s just doing what comes natural to him, which is
drinking, doing drugs, losing his wallet and breaking a little
furniture. He’s also run cars into California’s canyons and pays a
lot of alimony and child support. And incidentally, he also has the
largest collection of real sports memorabilia in the world. Hands
down.

So it was just another day in the life of the “President’s” youngest
son.

Back to work.

And add another million viewers to his television show.

What Would George Carlin Say About This

Many years ago, on a George Carlin HBO Special, he did a routine on
“Anorexia,” which I found very funny. I’m talking about anorexia
nervosa, which along with bulimia, is an eating disorder.

Carlin’s take on anorexia was that it was a “wealthy white woman’s
disease,” or what he called a “look at me” disease. He stated that
no one who was poor had ever heard of the disease and also that it
was very rare, outside the United States. He thought that the
disease was confined to snotty white teenage girls, who didn’t have
anything better to do than throw up, look in the mirror and worry
about how they looked.

Last week on the news, I saw a new trend, called drunkorexia, which
combines eating very little, throwing up and drinking alcohol, again
involving the same social group. I had actually heard about this
before, from friends who had daughters in college. One guy related a
story his daughter told him about some of her friends, who had read
the book Skinny Bitch, and who were actively trying to imitate the
example.

One of the girls would only eat lettuce. Another would only eat a
small plate of cheese nachos. Another ate only ice cream bars. But
they would drink alcohol by the bucket and they threw up all the
time, like it was a regular body function. They were all obsessed
with their size and one went into a full blown panic because she had
grown to a size 2. It wasn’t the least bit unusual to find them
asleep on the toilet, in bars.

All these kids had gone to private schools and their parents had
plenty of money. All of them were considered to be very bright. So
why the crazy behavior? And what would our dearly departed friend
make of it?

Carlin would probably say it was nothing a good caning couldn’t fix,
or maybe a trip to a place where food wasn’t so abundant. Or cars,
credit cards and clubs. Say, maybe, sub Saharan Africa, where it
takes a while to learn to coexist with flies. And millions of other
bugs.

What I can tell you is that combining different forms of addiction
is a double death wish. Anybody who participates in this form of
behavior needs medical attention and strong medical attention. A
woman I know struggled with bulimia for 15 years, before getting the
upper hand. She finally saw the light when she was told by a doctor
in the hospital to put her affairs in order, because she would be
dead by Sunday. His entire visit took less than two minutes and he
didn’t hand hold, ask for explanations, or want to know about her
previous therapies. His parting shot was that he only had time for
patients that wanted to live and that if she made it past Sunday,
she could schedule an appointment.

A huge majority of people afflicted with eating disorders have
omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies. If your body isn’t getting the
right nutrients, it’s headed to Malfunction Junction, where anything
can…and does happen.

Get yourself on the path to optimum health and start by taking my
Powerhouse Omega Formula. Testimonies are rolling in every day now,
from people who didn’t think a pharmaceutical grade fish oil would
make any difference in their lives, and now they say…Whoa! What a
difference that stuff makes!

National Public Radio Is A Disgrace

I haven’t listened to National Public Radio in over two decades and
maybe it’s longer than that. My first reason is that they are a
bunch of self-righteous leftists and my second reason is that they
get public money to keep them afloat. I don’t think any media group
should get money from the government and that the marketplace should
decide which companies live and which should die.

If it weren’t for public money (that’s tax money from you and me),
National Public Radio would have died a long time ago. They would
have died, because the public knows full well who to believe on the
issues and votes with its pocketbook, or wallet. You don’t have to
look any further than the late Air America, a leftist radio outlet
that went bankrupt several times, before even billionaire leftists,
like George Soros, pulled the plug.

Now NPR has fired liberal journalist Juan Williams, because he told
the truth about he feels. (And believe me, he isn’t alone.) Williams
previously wrote and wrote well, for the Washington Post. And for
quite a while, he has been a FOX NEWS contributor, where nobody
cares if you are liberal, or conservative; it’s about what you bring
to the table. Williams also contributed to NPR.

NPR purportedly fired Williams because he expressed the opinion that
Muslims, dressed in Muslim garb on airplanes, make him nervous. I
would go so far as to say this belief is probably shared by an
enormous percentage of the American public (including a high
percentage of liberals, who won’t admit it). Williams also went on
to say that Americans should NOT discriminate against Muslims, in
general, in spite of the fact that virtually all terrorism today is
carried out by…radical Muslims. This is what makes him a liberal.
But what we now know, is that being a liberal is just not good
enough for National Public Radio.

No…to stay in the fold at NPR, you have to hold exactly the same
preposterous, unworkable and non compos mentos ideas as the rest of
the organization and the lamebrained, vacuous people who contribute
foundation money to it. In short, you have to hold to the same
unsound philosophy as everyone affiliated with the organization.

The CEO of NPR actually suggested that William’s view ought to be
held between him and his psychiatrist, or publicist. I beg to differ
and think she ought to be fired, along with anyone else who
participated in the firing of Williams.

I don’t agree with 80% of what Juan Williams has to say and maybe
it’s higher than that. But I think he’s an honest reporter, a very
decent man and we need to hear his point of view, even if we don’t
agree with it. This much I can tell you: if an African-American
reporter, who is a liberal by trade, has a problem with Muslims in
full regalia on planes and publicly acknowledges how he feels about
the subject, we have a bigger problem than any liberal is willing to
admit.

But there is a very dark undercurrent, running through this issue.
Liberals only value free speech when it’s them that’s doing the
talking. From President Obama, on down, any opinion other than their
own is not worth listening to. The President blames the election on
“Fear.” “The electorate is afraid and when it’s afraid, it can’t
think clearly.”

In other words, anybody in their right mind would vote for him
(early and often, like in the old Chicago way).

What needs to happen is this: NPR executives should be forced to
spend days at a remote cabin with Garrison Keillor, the infamously
petty and cranky host of Prarie Home Companion. Five days with
Keillor, and I’ll bet they’d be willing to give up everything they
owned, just to get away.

Now if they were fish oil folks, they would realize just how stupid
they look for firing a guy, for telling the truth. But as Jack
Nicholson said, “You can’t handle the truth!”

No, they can’t. But when you’re firing on all cylinders, as fish oil
folks are, you just have another laugh at their expense:

https://www.favoriteformulas.com?awt_l=GnZNU&awt_m=1gYmz6XzpIz2rW

Don’t worry about Juan. FOX NEWS just gave him a brand new contract
and added responsibility.

There is some justice in the world.

Politically Correct Halloween

While reading the news at a health web site, I stumbled upon an
article that made me start to twitch, which is never a good thing.
This one had to do with Halloween and the writer was trying to
initiate a boycott of Halloween, because she felt that giving kids
candy by the handful was a bad health practice and we should stop
it, by boycotting Halloween.

Now, as someone who preaches the virtues of health almost daily, I
feel the writer has a point. We all know that, as a society, we eat
too much sugar. (On average, we consume 166 pounds of sugar a year
…each.) That’s a lot of sweet, sticky goo, which does nothing good
for your health. But boycotting Halloween is not going to change
anyone’s health.

Here’s my theory, based on my own behavior and from stories others
have told me. When I was a kid, we had simple costumes and we went
door to door, collecting as much candy as humanly possible. For 24
to 48 hours, we gorged on sugar, until our teeth hurt. Then, we
could hardly look at candy, until Easter, when we got more, without
having to walk around and lug the stuff. We would chug down a lot of
chocolate and then, pretty much forget about candy, until the next
Halloween.

My mother used to keep candy in a big glass bowl, right out in the
open and we wouldn’t touch it the rest of the year. We had too many
things to do outside to be worried about sitting around sucking up
candy.

If this writer’s kids are in the house eating candy, she needs to
find them something to do. And hopefully that would involve exercise
and a lot of moving around. But kids today aren’t in bad health
because they eat candy. They’re in bad health because they don’t get
sunshine, or do any exercise, and they eat a total junk diet, not
just candy.

Have you ever noticed that schools no longer have playground
equipment? That is, if you see school kids outside, they are just
standing around doing nothing? That’s because the schools are
politically correct. They don’t want kids to compete, which is the
natural order of things. The playground equipment is gone, because
the school district’s attorney’s don’t want the school to get sued,
because Johnny might fall and break his arm. There is no dodgeball,
because someone’s feelings might get hurt.

We now have a couple of generations of wimps on the loose and we
wonder why their health is poor. Well…the writer and her ilk need
to look in the mirror. What are they going to screw up next?

The late George Carlin summed it up best, when he said the best
thing adults could do for children is to let them grow up, without
much interference. Stop wiping their face off every five minutes and
put the hand sanitizer back on the grocery store shelf. And for
God’s sake, stop these silly campaigns, like the anti-bullying
thing, going on now.

When my younger brother came home crying about a bully, I took him
back to fight the bully. It ended in some minor cuts, scratches and
a draw. When I was confronted by a bully, as a freshman in high
school, I swung first and the bully took one in the nose, which bled
all over his clothes. Nobody ever laid a hand on me again.

If we really want to teach kids something, let’s teach them how to
take care of themselves and not worry about Halloween candy. Let’s
teach them how to use monkey bars and how to climb a rope. Let’s
have them burn so many calories, they don’t have to worry about a
few pieces of candy.

As Sharon Angle said to Harry Reid, “Man up!”

Yeh…that’s the ticket.

You Thought The Ground Zero Mosque Was A Problem

Every time I hear one of those peck sniffing liberals blather on
about Muslim “moderates” on television… I want to employ the old
Hunter S. Thompson remedy for fixing everything wrong with your set.
Crazy Hunter used to pull his Dirty Harry .44 Magnum and just blow
the screen to Hell.

Here’s a better idea of Muslim “justice,” coming from one of our
country’s “friends.”

The highest court in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has ruled that:

“A man is allowed to beat his wife and children…as long as he does
not leave bruises, or other marks.”

Wow! I can’t wait to have a neighbor like this.

Chief Justice Falah al Hajeri ruled that under Sharia Law, the
husband has the right to discipline his family…but he has to abide
by the limits of this right.

The limit, as defined by al Hajeri, is physical evidence of a
beating that takes the accepted punishment to a more severe level.
According to Sharia, the man of the house is permitted to use
physical discipline against his family…if admonishing them…and
if abstaining from sex with his wife does not work.

The judge was forced to clarify the legal boundaries of beating,
after a UAE man slapped and kicked his daughter and wife, leaving
bruises and facial injuries.

The judges ruled that bruises and physical marks are an abuse of
discipline.

Dr. Ahmed al Kubaisi, head of Sharia Studies at UAE and Baghdad
University said, “But sometimes she (wife/daughter) does a serious
thing, or he does not want to let others know, when it is not good
for the family. In this case, hitting is a better option.”

Now…to be fair, a number of Islamic scholars and lawmakers have
denounced the beating of family members. But a majority maintain
that it is an appropriate response to family problems.

So my question is: Are these the people for whom we should be
bending over backwards? This is what we mean by the embrace of
multiculturalism? Beat your wife and family… but don’t leave
marks?

These folks need my Powerhouse Omega Formula dearly and they need to
take about 5 times the dose we do, because clearly their synapses
are frayed beyond belief. They must have omega-6 levels that run 50
to 1 over omega-3′s and it’s easy to see:

https://www.favoriteformulas.com?awt_l=GnZNU&awt_m=1eYQxV_E6Iz2rW

Oh…and don’t forget…these guys are proposed as “moderates,”
presumably because they don’t kill the malefactors, outright. This
will undoubtedly come as a shock to REAL moderate Muslims, here in
the States and elsewhere. Most Muslims of my acquaintance DON’T buy
this kind of behavior and have no desire to live in the 7th century.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

Some Of The Best Medicine Is In Your Spice Rack

Did you know that Western Medicine can trace the first pain reliever
to ancient Greece and that the Chinese were probably centuries
ahead, with the use of mushrooms to alleviate pain and other
problems?

Doctors used items commonly found in your kitchen today…to cure a
host of problems that big pharmaceutical companies would have you
believe don’t work. Don’t be so sure of that.

In many cultures around the globe, bark, shrubs, seeds and bulbs
have been used to make and keep you healthy . Cinnamon, for
instance, is a tree bark. Rosemary is a shrub, mustard a seed and
garlic a bulb. They are all plants and have been used to treat
everything from digestive distress to fever, to muscle pain and even
asthma.

We have been taught to take pills and not to rely on Mother Nature.

About 20 years ago, maybe longer, Americans started to get
interested in food and over the years, the food industry was
revolutionized. New products started flooding the marketplace and
that continues today. Twenty years ago, you couldn’t find fresh
parsley in the grocery store. Today, you can find not only parsley,
but sage, rosemary and thyme (a little Simon and Garfunkel humor,
there). The point is that most medicinal foods are on the shelf,
fresh and really worth consuming.

They don’t just make your food taste better, but they actually can
help to ward off health problems.

Most people I know like Indian food. One of the primary Indian
spices is turmeric, which is a golden yellow. It’s found in curry
powder and is a member of the Ginger family. Many yogis believe that
ginger, onion, garlic and turmeric are the keys to extremely good
health. The chief active ingredient at work is curcumin, which may
decrease symptoms of arthritis, tendonitis and other inflammatory
conditions.

Fresh ginger is great for stomach ailments, which is why your Mom
gave you ginger ale. Many mothers had all the kids drink ginger ale
on road trips, to prevent car sickness. It also helps pregnant
mothers with stomach problems and is used after chemotherapy. I love
adding it to stir fries, to get a nice peppery flavor.

Ginger also helps those with osteoarthritis, by reducing joint and
muscle pains.

Cinnamon can help reduce blood glucose. It will also help with LDL,
or “bad,” cholesterol and you only need half a teaspoon a day. It
goes great with oatmeal, apples, or in coffee, or tea. Try adding a
pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg to potato soup for a real kick.

If you combine all these fresh plants with my Powerhouse Omega
Formula, you’ll get a real healthy synergistic effect going that
will defend your body against all the Darth Vader-like elements,
trying to take you down:

Obama Discovers That There Are No Shovel Ready Jobs

In Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, there is an extensive interview
with President Obama that many Democrats are not very happy about.
They’re feeling that the President has thrown many of them under the
bus, before the election, by talking about all the mistakes he has
made in the past two years. You would have thought that a good
number of them would have figured this out long before and thrown
him, and his outlandish spending programs, in a body of water big
enough to hold them (say, the Pacific Ocean).

But the funniest revelation, more gallows humor really, is that the
President finally admits that there is no such thing as a shovel
ready job, unless you work in his organization, which has been
shoveling the shizz for almost four years, if you include his
campaign. As a former New Yorker, I’ve heard some incredibly good
shovelers, over the years. So when the President, Vice President,
Senate Majority Leader (Man Up, Harry Reid!) and House Speaker all
began this business about “shovel ready jobs,” a couple of dozen
moons back, I would just shake my head in wonder and try and puzzle
out just exactly when this house of cards would fall.

It’s now fallen.

The President and his cronies, after telling Americans for two years
that those shovel ready jobs were coming, now admit that they are
not. They are not coming, because there never was any such thing as
a shovel ready job (and of course, the President just discovered
this).

He’s says he’s been studying the history of one Billy Jay Clinton
and he says there are some lessons to be learned there. Most of us
know what they are, but apparently he is just getting the drift, in
the last two weeks, just before he has his head handed to him.

As an American, you want the President to be successful and most
Americans DO want the President to be successful. It doesn’t matter
what party you belong to, what your race or religion is, we want a
strong and successful President. But this President is totally out
of step with what the great majority of Americans want.

We don’t want a President who bows to Saudi kings, or who gives warm
handshakes to clowns, like Hugo Chavez. We don’t want a President
who doesn’t have the stomach to tell the Muslim community that the
Ground Zero Mosque is NOT a good idea, even if it is legal. We don’t
want a President and his cronies deciding which companies should
fail, or succeed. We don’t want to be told that he reformed Wall
Street, when he hasn’t. We don’t want to be told that he fixed the
housing market, when he hasn’t.

And if that $870 billion dollars that went to shovel ready jobs is
just a smokescreen, where did it go? And why does he need more?
Especially since one third of that $870 billion has not yet been
spent.

The message of this election is clear. The people are saying, “Mr.
President, we like you…but you have a trust problem. You need to
get it fixed, or you will be joining Uncle Jimmy, building houses.”

That’s where well-meaning academics go, after they lose the big one.

Where do former Speakers of the House go? As in, Pelosi.

I don’t know, but they don’t go by private jet.

If I thought it would help, I’d send a crate or two of my Powerhouse
Omega Formula to the White House. My pharmaceutical grade fish oil
might help raise the IQ’s in the place by 40 or 50 points. But then
again, it’s probably a little too late… for this election, anyway:

(Just kidding)

A Funny Story From A Subscriber

This is for all of us over 50, which I’m guessing most (or at least
many) of us are. I thought you would get a kick out of it, like I
did.

“When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I
ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music,
takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I
signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids,
their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate
with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as
simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.

That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter,
Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck,
Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and
every other program within the texting world.

My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of
everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation.
I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage
in my golf bag.

The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday, because they say I
get lost every now and then, going over to the grocery store or
library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue
tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it
once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife
and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to
take my hearing aid out to use it and I got a little loud.

I mean, the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady
inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run
into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say,
“Re-calc-ul-ating.”

You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could
barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell
me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn
instead, well, it was not a good relationship.

When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of
the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone
as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.

To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the
cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I
still haven’t figured out how I can lose three phones all at once
and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking
bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.

The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up
every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could
settle on something themselves, but this sudden “Paper or Plastic?”
every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of
those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never
remember to take them in with me.

Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, “Paper or Plastic?” I
just say, “Doesn’t matter to me. I am bi-sacksual.” Then it’s their
turn to stare at me with a blank look.

I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a
lot.”

Why Those Pounds Aren’t Coming Off

Today, I thought I would touch upon a few reasons your elbeeze
(pounds) may be sticking on you harder than you thought possible.

At times, we can be our own worst enemies, when it comes to weight
loss. Many people do this by underestimating the number of calories
they are taking in. A while back, I got a note from a woman who told
me she ate at the salad bar, at Ruby Tuesdays and no weight was
coming off. She was getting vegetables, fruit and so on and such
forth.

I decided to check on the salad bar, at Ruby Tuesday, since I hadn’t
been in one for quite a while. After a couple of trips to the salad
bar, I had it figured out. Ruby Tuesday does indeed have a few
vegetables on the salad bar and some fresh fruit. But it also has a
good number of prepared salads and I can tell you a couple of things
about them, just by tasting.

They are:

a) Loaded with fat.

b) Loaded with sugar.

c) Loaded with fat and sugar.

If you eat the pasta salad, potato salad, or anything they have
already prepared; you might as well get the bacon cheeseburger, with
fries, and have some apple pie, too. You are fighting a losing
battle, when you add any prepared food to your plate.

Here’s a little tidbit that should startle you: They deep fry the
croutons on the salad bar, then flavor them with garlic salt. That’s
why people love them. But imagine the hidden calories that entails
and it will tell you why the flubber isn’t coming off.

Another problem people have is making too many exceptions. In other
words, you convince yourself that you are behaving, but you’ll use
any excuse to break the rules. Pretty soon, you have more exceptions
than good behavior. Now, I never advocate being a saint, because it
doesn’t work. But if you follow the rules 90% of the time, you don’t
have to worry about slipping in a slice of pizza, once in a while.
Notice I said A slice, not slices. A piece of pie, not three pieces.

As we get older, our metabolisms slow down and we get more
sedentary. This means that we lose muscle, gain fat, and our shape
changes before our eyes. The longer this goes on, the worse off you
get and you are just inviting ill health in the front door.

You need to start training, lift some weights, or do bodyweight
exercises. I don’t have a horse in the race, both get results.
Walking is great exercise and it’s free. I’m not a fan of running,
but I’m not going to stop you. I would recommend you do high
intensity running, if you’re going to run, which is essentially
sprinting. You do 8-12 good sprints and in 15-20 minutes, you’re
finished. Remember, it isn’t how long you run, it’s how intense the
run is. Endless slower runs, either outside, or on the treadmill,
will not reduce your weight.

Remember the immortal words of Tonto to the Lone Ranger: “Make
muscle, Kemosabe, not lard.”

It’s true: the more muscle you have, the less of a lardass you’ll
be.
