DDR Part 13 – Tsinay Butterfly (Jocelyn Uy), one of the few female players who compete in tournaments. One great thing that she has going for her is the early understanding and appreciation that everything in life is about guts! It is never about where you are now, but where you are heading whether it is being the best at what you do or climbing the corporate ladder.

So much for an entry that was suppose to focus on DDR and weight loss that sidetracked into learning more about the tournaments behind the game. Common sense already tells us that all the competitors are in tip top shape from everyday practice. Apply that knowledge to your weight loss goals, keep moving your feet!

We made sure to save the best for last. Get your butt off the couch if you have two legs!

Breakfast is two hard boil organic eggs. (I tend to stay away from the regular eggs because the yolk is too hard and disgusting. It could be all the hormones and antibiotics when hens are caged and force fed corn and animal byproducts.) No juice and no sugar. This should keep you full until lunch time.

Lunch, go for a grilled chicken salad. Really watch your portions, it is not necessary to stop eating only when you are full. Again, no juice and no soda.

Dinner, two hard boil organic eggs 15-20 minutes before your meal. Then eat anything you want while watching your portions. Best to stay away from greasy fried food, and juice or soda.

Snacks, stick to fresh fruits. Processed or packaged fruits have a lot of sugar. Just read the labels and you will be fine.

It can get expensive very fast because organic eggs are priced at $3.99 per dozen. This is very healthy, nutritious and never makes you feel sluggish.

I don’t subscribe to the idea of no carbs because it is ridiculous. Eat what you want, but let the organic eggs do the heavy lifting while you watch the meal portions, and eliminate sugar if possible. Remember that you have to enjoy what you eat in order to successfully lose weight.

In less than 1 week, I went from 158 to 153. This is after being plateaued at the 157-159 range for two months. This is just my experience.

http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2008/08/12/breakfast-eggs-keep-folks-on-diet.html – clinical studies also confirm the same assumptions about eating eggs to help with weight loss.

Two main points:

1. Activity as in hitting the gym and working out.

What must be emphasized is that gastric bypass is not a miracle weight loss procedure as shown by Carnie’s continued weight struggles post surgery. If a person’s eating behaviors do not change, they will eventually gain their weight back as the body adopts to the new stomach and shorter small intestine.

Which is why Carnie had to diet and exercise vigorously to lose the weight she regained.

Again, the proper strategies to losing weight as emphasized is eating properly and remaining active.
