After crossing the century mark, by the way, I am now down 113. I decided to get back to basics and got my hands on two more recent books by the authors of Protein Power; The 6 week cure, and The Protein Power Life Plan. I was a little taken aback to see a couple of minor inconsistencies between them but came to realize, if the message did not change, why write another book, who would buy it? I guess the larger point is that even the experts have more to learn. It still grinds my gears (thank you Peter Griffin) to see how much of the weight loss advice out there is really just a series of sales pitches.
It is amazing how much crap is being sold as healthy food, look at yogurt. I sometimes look at the labels of yogurt at the store, and I never buy any because it is all crap loaded with sugar and shit I can pronounce.
I watched a few minutes of The Biggest Loser today. 1-What the fuck does Anna Kournikova know about losing weight. 2 - Wow those fuckers are working out a lot harder than I have been, I don' know if you are inspiring people if you sent the message that you need to have some asshole trainer yell at you constantly and break you down in order to lose weight. I think it would be pretty easy to watch that and decide that looks too hard, I can't do that. I for the most part keep my efforts to myself unless someone sincerely brings it up. I guess my little journey would maker for boring TV. Again, they are using this whole weight loss thing to sell.
I guess this blog is my way of saying, it is not that hard when you find a plan that works for you, I changed the way I eat, I didn't work out that much and I have lost 113 lbs. Now that I have come this far, I am working out more. My point is, anyone can do this if they are ready to make some changes in their life.
