If the kids buy into this, that’s saying a lot for moms like me who made sure their kids had balanced lunches and dinners while they were growing up and tried to teach them to make healthy choices, even though you didn’t keep them from eating junk fun foods, also.
I’d be better off living on just bread and water…period.
The article implies consuming water before eating a meal will lead to weight loss. Women and men in a study group of 12 weeks had their daily calorie intake reduced to 1,200 and 1,500, respectively, from up to 2,200 prior to the study. Those drinking water before a meal did lose more weight than those allowed to drink whatever they wanted.
from the Economist -
Why this works is obscure. But work it does. It’s cheap. It’s simple. And unlike so much dietary advice, it seems to be enjoyable too.
I don’t know about you, but if I reduce my calorie intake but continue to allow myself to eat the type of meals the child has in the photo accompanying the article, even though I’m drinking water – I’m not sure how much weight I’m going to lose.
Many moons ago, my mother owned small family restaurant in Florida. Not only was she a great cook at home, but she carried her talent into her own business. Most of her menu items were made-from-scratch. There are just some favorites that can’t be “homemade” though, and it’s all about how you cook them.
My mom had great customer service skills and before owning her own place spent her earlier years as a telephone operator, then after marrying my dad had six children. She helped support the family later on by waitressing in great restaurants and actually loved the job. A good waitress learns all about good customer service.
There was one regular customer who didn’t care about the home cooking as much as he loved hot dogs. There are always special requests when you run a restaurant. My mom always wanted a customer to “have it their way.” I don’t think you’ll find too many places that will take the time to “skin a hot dog” for you. That’s what he wanted – at the busiest time of the day, whenever he came in.
from Wallet Pop – “Customers From Hell”
Not Worth the Argument
Reader Bgk9876 says: “A customer wanted to return a canteen which she had recently purchased. When I asked her why she wanted to to return it she said it leaked. After inspecting the canteen, [I] noticed [it had] a hole in the center big enough to put your index finger in. When this was pointed out to the customer, she responded by saying, ‘Well, that’s not where it leaks.’ She got a full refund.”
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend
I knew a man that I did not care for
And then one day this man gave me a call
We sat and talked about things on our mind
And now this man he is a friend of mine
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
Don’t be afraid of love (don’t be afraid)
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid to love (listen to me)
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs somebody (don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid to love)
That they can be thinking of (reach out)
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
Should you expect to see the Empire State Building when in Manhattan? Or is its 79 year reign about to end by having its view blocked by another skyscraper?
