Doncha wish...







your girlfriend was a phreak - like - me....hm...hmmm....hmmm....doncha...ta...ta..ta..taaa...




Oh! Hi there. You caught me singing my theme song in my low carb battle to good health, wealth, beauty and power. Well, maybe not the three latter, but certainly the first: Health.

I have more energy and Jack LaLanne-type vitality than I have ever had. Okay, again I've lied...I am no Jack LaLanne but I plan to be when I am a little older and fitter.

Yesiree, I'll be over forty years old in September...didn't say HOW old, just that I'll be over forty. DON'T ever settle on obesity because you think you are too old to lose weight. This morning I talked at length to my sister about losing weight. She's getting geared up for doing it in the New Year. Here's my thoughts on it...even if obesity doesn't steal some years off your life it will surely steal some of the joy.

Who do you think is happier, the gal in black (18W), the gal in white (Size 16), or in blue (Size 14/16), or in the brown size 12 pants and blue flip-flops?

It can be done on Atkins, high fat intake, and plenty of protein, cottage cheese and veggies.
Forget the Magic Chicken Dance, er, Diet...forget the high-priced Kimmer Scam and buy an Atkins book. I got mine from Half-Priced Books here in Little City, Texas.
Eat healthy, cut out ALL the sugar, ALL the starches and eat like you love yourself. Plenty of protein, fat and low sugar/starch veggies. Get your carbs from carrot sticks, cottage cheese and other healthy foods that will not immediately turn into blood sugar.
In a year you'll be singing..."Doncha wish your girlfriend was a phreak like ME???" No, folks, I'm no phreak...just a happy post-menopausal gal with lots of energy, hope, and a week-long cruise next week.
Though the cruise came after the decision to lose weight...I think the singing woman in the blue flip-flops will have a lot more fun than the heavier ones pictured above.
Ketosis on, Garth!
For an eye-opener on the scam diets that will ruin your health, start here:

Cream Cheese and Cherry Sweet Treat

Take two ounces of cream cheese and heat them up in the microwave for 15 seconds. Add a couple of drops of Almond Extract and lots of Equal; mix it up really good. Now, grab a sugar-free jello cup in Cherry flavor and dump it in. Mix well. 200 calories. Oh, so delightful.
