JUSTA LIL’ BIT by Dick Sargis John?Caponera . (STOP!!! – Go to - Listen to My 4 Minute Intro!) CHAPTER ONE . (There ain’t no Chapter Two)(Get ready ‘cause I’m gonna mix up with justa ‘lil bit of storytelling, of eatin’ right info, a few insults, lots of motivation, more storytelling, some history… READ!) So, welcome my fat ass friends. My name is Johnny, I am Italian, I'm from Chicago,?and I?am to the point and pull no punches. I am here to help because apparently you bought this book and you're reading these words for a number of reasons. I am brutally honest and based on what you see in the mirror you probably need that about now. Maybe it's your doctor, maybe it's your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriends but something?ain't?right in?Fatville.More than likely you are sick about feeling sluggish, tired, maybe even embarrassed, sad,?and disappointed?in yourself and disgusted that other people don't have to deal with this chunk issue and you do. You are frustrated and mad that you can't wear the clothes you want or look a little thinner like that skinny ass person next to you.?The person that doesn't have a weight problem.?The person you've never been, chubs!Maybe it is as simple as wanting to show off some new clothes, if you can just lose that?frickin' 10 or 15 pounds?hangin' around your gut and ass like a unwanted in-laws visiting too long for the holidays! A friend of mine asked me to do this thing for him.??This audio introduction thing before you read this short book. A book I’ve lent my in-your-face moments. So, no more saying to yourself, after trying so hard for so long, that you just can't do it. Well halfwit, you probably can!??Hey, piaisanio, silenzio (shut-up). Actually after watching my friend DB do it, more about him later, I learned about?his?process. You can actually can do it! See, I’m here for ya! To motivate youse via a slap in your puffy face! Are you ready?!Hell, maybe you?have?done it, but like 90% of the people that lose weight on some "diet", they end up gaining?it back and maybe a pound or two more for their efforts.Nice, huh? ?Well, you won't with this "plan". Me and my pal are taking the time and effort to explain, motivate and inspire you round folks out there to just do it!?Get your chubby fingers out of the chip bag or box of chocolates! Put the cap on that 2 liter?soda you're sucking down and take that 5 gallon container of Butter Pecan ice cream off your lap,?and let's get down to some business, Capisci? Remember, you are what you eat and you are currently, FAT! Let’s change that!Before I tell you about my?pal, the?former?pile?of unshapely lard?who?lost the?poundage,?let me tell you a little bit about me, Johnny Cap; I've weighed 182 pounds my whole life, and my metabolism is my best friend. We pal-around together! We help each other out! He?kindalets me eat whatever I want!? And the only activity I?get?is walkin’ my dog for 15 minutes to go down to the store to get some snacks to munch on... Twinkies, Baby Ruth, BBQ chips, Slim Jims, and some pop! ?I never have to worry about it! I'm always happy! I can wear anything I want, kids! I love?jammin' in some good threads! I even have a lot of fat jokes, for some of my more portly friends. It's just something I don't have to worry about, OK??Just sayin'.??But that's me. I'm blessed!?You, not so much.It's going to get more brutal and, I got to say, I wouldn’t take this kinda crap from some ruthless?degenerate?like me for long. ?But this book is not long. ?As far as pages to read it’s fairly thin, unlike you,?cholesterol?breath. Divertiamoci, hey??(Let's have some fun!) Remember,?you won’t see us using the word?"diet" for this book!? That's the filthiest of four letter words to a chunkster!? The four letter word?we approved is called the "plan"! The "plan"! Okay… It's just a much nicer four letter word. It's a more realistic, forever approach and we all should get our plan working for us in life!? Plan for everything!? It takes a while to figure out some things.And?since?you got?nothin’ better to do other than raid the ‘fridge?in another 26 minutes,?indulge?in this. Did I mention?that?personally, I?don’t really give a crap about you all that much? Okay, quit whining, Let’s just say I don’t as much?as the nice guy who is writing this?book?with me?does.?That former?chunkso, my aforementioned pal,?Dickie?Bob or, as I affectionately call him, DB.DB is?bustin' my balls here, giving me tons of information to?spice things up with him?for this book and the audio book. That’s right, audio book for those who feel?the book’s too heavy?for your weak-ass arms. For?you?lazies and?even for?any sightless fatties. What?! Vuoi farne qualcosa? (Wanna make something of it?) Ok, I admit, I am not (ever) politically correct. Deal with it. Learn to love me. You want a “sorry”, wait ‘till the end of your next parole hearing! ?Okay,?I got tons of notes?from?him. My notes from talking with him, notes from reading his charts, notes on his methods, all of DB’s written notes, audio notes… A hot mess?of ‘em! ?Not the kind a “hot mess” you find on your shirt after visiting the buffet line in Vegas for the fifth time, so it may take a page or two for you to relate!? Anyway, as long as?ya?paid the $9.95, I’m as happy as the (second) happy meal you?are dying?to stuff in your face, McPounder!???So,?whether you're reading the book or whetheryou’re?listening?to the soon to be released audio-book?in the drive-up greasy burger joint, or are a cheap fat bastard and are reading as fast as you can at a Barnes and Noble, this is really his story presented to you by the two of us.?Now his story in?his words would bore the shit?outta?you so?I’m?the “spice” guy, okay?? Read…I?wanted?to call it?“Dick’s?Diet?Book”?but?slim here,?(and he hates the four letter words like, “diet”) he came up with a pretty good title, Justa Lil’ Bit. After all, he should give it the name, the pudge lost the weight, not me! Anyway, he finally figured it out after 40 years... Eat?just a?little bit less throughout the day and at the right times!To be exact, he would eat?justa?lil' bit of food with 4 or 5 mini “feedings” (DB cringes at the word “meals”), every three hours. Then, then, the key here; walk?justa?lil' bit for a few minutes. To be precise (important), he waited 15 minutes before taking a 10 to 15 minute walk after those “feedings”, to keep his metabolism going. He became obsessed about this metabolism?thing, decided to put it in a book and?shake things up "justa?lil’?bit!"?or JLB (Solo?un?po)?my soon to be less pudgy friends. Read and learn from it, Huffy!?DB?tried to understand “diets”, and went on all of ‘em for four decades. He talked to?people he knew that lost and gained weight back, to doctors, to dieticians, to nutritionists, to exotic dancers… Hey, I've seen ‘em?talkin’ to one, and I bet it wasn’t about the book! He?Googled?the hell out of everything metabolism, then he quit reading and put it in play a few years ago!??He played with his formula off and on with some success, but when he put aside many business matters, some family matters and attacked what matters - his health,With this focused effort, it became an easy way of life! He lost 40 pounds in 8 months and has?kept it off!

Now he wants to let you know about the simple, yet delicate balance of keeping metabolism at higher, sustained levels, thus burning calories by alternating eating and a little walking at perfect times!??He lost it and keeps it off by a simple tweak, by, ready for this, eating regularly throughout the day. Eating JLB of anything! NO REGAINING THE LOST WEIGHT! ?By eating?the right portions?and by eating all day intervals of 3 to 3? hours.?Come on, it’s just a little bit (JLB) of work but it's the best kind of work or job you’ll ever have if you're trying to lose weight. This is good work, a good job. You're not employee of the RFD & D Company… (Restrictive Food Deprivation & Diet Company.) That type of work sucks! You can now be an employee of the JLB team, and they have great perks! Your job is to get to eat all day, anything! A little fast food break, a little home cookin’ break and a little restaurant break. And payday, payday is awesome! It’s called a scale! The job description is the coolest and the only skill you need is to listen to your cell phone’s daily reminders to go to your “job-site” and work by eating every few hours! You can move up the corporate weight loss ladder by accomplishing a few goals that are simple to achieve: If you are the kind of employee that’s a little dim up there and a little lazy, maybe lose a pound a month. If you take your job more seriously, maybe you’ll be a middle management candidate with a 2 or 3 pound a month award. And if you're dedicated and want a seat in the boardroom (not dining room), you may end up VP of Weight Loss Management, no problem.So suffer for 15 minutes every few hours! That’s a total of a lousy hour and fifteen minutes a day! Think about walking down the office hallway, around the block, zig and zag the aisles of a Target, Home Depot or Costco. SERIOUSLY! A simple walk! It’s JLB ! It's not even all at once. It is just 15 minutes, (and DB wants me to say 10 is okay but I’ll beat, 15 in your thick heads the rest of the way) five times after you’re up to 5 “feedings”. And no excuses “I forgot!” You all have programmable reminder apps on your cell, so use that! The dream job continues because you get to eat any type of food! And when you reach the healthy weight you want, start to eat JLB more and never gain it back. What a job! What a plan! Go make up a better plan! You can’t! Go ahead and tell us of a better “diet”! Ain’t none!Dare ya to read this in the kitchen where all that food is that you want to eat, because, let's face it, ya have no willpower! Until now!? Maybe you're thinking about eating that slice of pie while you're reading the book about losing weight. Hai fatto una stupid daggine! (You did something stupid!) It’s okay. Don’t deprive, thrive! Just have a big delicious spoonful. JLB. One bite of whatever. A bite you would never get on any other “diet”!! It’s okay. It’s a “taste”, a slow chew to savor! Now, go drink a tall, full, 12 ounce glass of ice cold water... That water “fill-up” is going to work great for dissipating the urge for a second spoonful of “whatever”. Gotta trick that weak mind! That's right, a bite of any food you want, but just a taste, if you must. You’ll figure out how often to “not deprive”. Just remember, deprive is not spelled I-N-D-U-L-D-G-E, okay? Make this “plan” work for you. Read, read; you’re NOT skin and bones! Sometimes you'd like some of those potato chips in the cabinet over there (outta sight, outta mind, my ass), knock yourself out! But, just to get the taste and the “thought” out of your screwed up psyche! Eat half a bag of chips? Sure be stupid, dive right in. Wait! Aren’t you trying to lose weight? What the hell! A few chips and chew slowly, big boy, slowly, because you are now into the JLB “plan”! Ice cream? Screw the bowl, eat right out of the carton! It’s okay, it’s okay, BUT just one or two spoons! The cravings can be a part of 4 or 5 “snacks” between the up to 5 feedings, and you can still lose weight! Remember, justa ‘lil bit! (Solo un po!). Be smart here. Plan and think a little on what you are doing with this plan! To lose weight but not to starve and miss out on a “taste” of what you like, it’s just that you don’t get to eat the whole damn ice cream cone, bag of chips or pastrami sandwich! You crave some carbonation then, let’s see, the 16 ounce fountain drink? Maybe the whole 12-ounce can to gulp down? Nah, you got to think JLB, brothers and sisters! Just a solid sip or two of that small 8 ounce can. AND NO STRAWS! It’s proven you will intake more, faster with a straw… So a few sips from the rim! Why more?! Not the “plan”! And then a full glass of that ice cold agua for the “fill-up”! If you're on a “diet”, then you get all sorts of stuff to eat throughout the day, let’s see, celery, (no peanut butter!), a couple slices of apple, a bunch of carrots (no Ranch!), radishes ,all the cucumbers you want, maybe a thin slice of avocado and a hard-boiled egg for dessert.? Hey, later, after you add up everything and do your 1-hour workout, you get a half a grapefruit and some boiled protein meat! That’s a diet! Forget about it! The restricted “diet”... Boring! And in the end, when you lost weight on that painfully depressing depravation “diet” for months and months, when you reached your goal, when you're a broken human being, starved and haven’t enjoyed eating the food you like, you’ll take that thinner body and you're off to the first fast food joint you can find! “Outta the way, I’m a hungry, it’s me, the now thin (but starving) guy about to eat my first of many big meals!” A pound a week up! In six months, twenty-five!Flash forward that half a year and you realize you gained most of the weight back. See how that works for ya? Now you can actually go to any favorite restaurant or have any food and enjoy the tastes, savor the flavors, the smells and lose weight. No food deprivation ova here! Strangely enough, it's okay to even partake in the thrill you tubbies get going through the drive-up window and ordering some of that fast food. Just JLB it, not supersize it! Ironically, you can come back to the same drive up window for more, four times throughout the same day and still lose weight. Read on…The trade off for having no depravation?and no strenuous?exercise is the simple 15?minute “key to success”?walk, shortly after eating?to maximize the metabolic factor! That is a?word you?have heard. Metabolism! ?The metabolic factor. ?So, no?calories to count and no specific foods to have to eat! DB mixes it up with?higher carbs in the first of his five “feedings” of the day: A little protein, some “slow?carbs”, some “fast?carbs”, all mixed into the plan”. A taste of fast food is even okay, even a taste of those bad for you, refined carbos… Anything! Sorry if I’m kicking you all in your cellulite-riddled asses too hard?as you read or listen to his story but really, che me ne fotto! (What do I care!)??Okay, okay, I do care. We both do!This is a guy who had been on and off diets for decades and now that he’s figured it out, I’m happy to motivate with DB's inspiring story in my words for you?puffy,?unhealthy, poor excuses for humans! So just like one of those?expensive, personal?Hollywood?trainers to the stars, I will continue to hammer it home with my in-your-face experience, until you toss this book in the trash and give up!? Don’t you dare!!You are all here on a mission to find a lost item, metabolism. ?We need him back! ?To be ready to find him and never lose him again, people, you must be ready?to eat throughout the day to find and increase your?metabolism and keep your blood sugar steady! You’ll?lose weight?and be healthier?for it BY EATING! You’ll have?more energy, all the while losing pounds rather effortlessly.? Even if it's 10 pounds or 110 pounds, with JLB of common sense, this is a done deal.?DB just played with this off and on when he wanted to lose 10 or 15 pounds and just be a slight pudgy fella. It worked but he’d go back to old, unportioned, 2 or 3 “big meals” a day and gain it back after a while. Then he needed to qualify for a long-term health care insurance, and he jumped in and made it a way of life for years now! Now he can’t eat a big meal, if he had to, and he feels the sluggishness if he misses a feeding and says it’s so easy to tell you are running on empty in the 5th or 6th hours if you missed a little feeding and/or snack! Like a smoker who quits or an alcoholic who quits the booze, you realize that the smell of a cigarette is awful. That taste of liquor when you’ve been off of it, yuck! Eating JLB with 5 (feedings), 15 (minutes later) and a 15 (minute walk) is a much better feeling! Otherwise, YOU ARE MISERABLE! So, how simple is just eating a?smaller amount of food for each of these five, correctly portioned (the size of the palm of your hand) feedings, then, wait 15 minutes, do a 15 minute walk, burn the calories, and stoke the metabolism! It keeps the blood sugar levels steady! And eat more off the “complex carbs” list on the next page! It feels great,?and you get to eat again in a few hours! ? Oh yeah, and lose weight!?Come on guys and gals, if there’s something any of youse could do?it’s?eat, right?! So you guys should gorge on this little bite of information with a smile.DB came to understand fully, that the human body has its metabolism working hard to digest food?and thus burn calories. ?So, why not let it work a little overtime after eating?instead of?letting it?go to sleep.?That means DON’T SIT AROUND AFTER YOU EAT FOR AN HOUR!??It?means doing this little trick! It’s too simple. It all equates into?allowing increased, metabolic magic to burn more calories. DB plays?this?trick on the metabolism?and keeps it working, burning calories?at optimum levels?by?simply?not waiting too long to eat again.? To understand metabolism better, put your fat fingers to work pushin’ buttons to Google, instead of pushin’ buttons on the microwave to warm up that cinnamon roll with a half cube of butter on it! Read up on this! How stress, certain drugs, even climate affect your metabolism.A lot of factors go into pinpointing your type of metabolism, okay? Some of those naturally skinny people (me) never gain weight because metabolism isn't suppressed. One factor is hereditary while another is sex. No, no, Don Juan, a person’s sex! Females have a slower metabolic rate than men. Taller people have a metabolic rate that is higher than shorter people, etc. With this plan you will have a better chance to balance out metabolic situations. So mix these up with whatever meat or protein portion you like. Just keep your protein portion about the size of the palm of your hand and no more than 1 ?” to 2’” in thickness, Bub. (See some “portion” sized reference photos on the next page along with the “individual “snack portions.) Keep in mind that these foods keep your metabolism fire hot. Protein, which you need for building body tissue; Carbohydrates for energy (but there are two types: complex for sustained energy and simple for quick energy); Fat, it's a needed lubricant for joints and certain types of fats are better for you than others. Complex Carbs: These range from All-bran cereals, Apples, Artichokes, Asparagus, Bagels, Beans, Bananas, Broccoli, Brown breads, Brown rice, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Chickpeas,: Corn, Cucumbers, Dill Pickles, Dried apricots. Eggplants, Garbanzos, Grapefruits, Kidney beans, Lentils, Lettuce, Low fat yogurts, Macaroni, Multi-grain breads, Oatmeal, Okra, Onions, Oranges, Peas, Pinto beans, Pitas, Plums, Potatoes, Prunes, Pumpernickel, Radishes, Root vegetables, Skim milk, Soy milk, Soybeans, Spaghetti, Spinach, Split peas, Sprouts, Strawberries, Sweet potatoes, Tomatoes, Turnips, Watercress, Whole grain Cereals, Flours, Breads. Simple Carbs: Simple carbs have different nutritional values. Fruits that are high in simple carbs and have lots of vitamins like pomegranate juice, which has tons of?vitamin A, vitamin C and anti-oxidants. Milk contains simple carbohydrates along with protein and lots of calcium.? Fruit, juice and dairy products also contain loads of?minerals and vitamins, but JLB of the “simple”! So, don’t be simple-minded when selecting your variety of carbos!Refined Carbs: Stay away from these “refined carb” killers as much as possible. Stuff that is processed and formed with white flour and refined sugar: soft drinks, pies, cakes, candies, muffins, desserts, cereals, pizza dough, crackers, white pastas, white rice, pretzels, chips and stuff out of a bag or box. Nothin’ good about ‘em and the Alzheimer issues are being directly linked to those processed carbs and processed meats! DB says, Google, the facts, it’s scary! Now you need to keep in mind these numbers: About 25% protein (some protein with every feeding to give you a “fuller” sensation). Then about 40% of the right type of carbohydrates. Finally, about 35% of the “good” fat. Know the difference between fat “content”. Good fat: avocado versus Bad fat, a pastrami sandwich. Really, stay away from animal fats whenever possible. So do some homework! Google carbohydrate selections, and you'll know right from wrong and don't forget, confirm with a dietitian or nutritionistHey, remember confirming with your family physician but, it may be more prudent to go to a specialist. When you get a prescription from the doc, consult with a pharmacist to see if indeed there's interaction issue with other meds you are taking. When you have blurred vision, you consult with an Ophthalmologist over an Optician. When you keep looking at your bookie’s hot 25-year old date, consult with your psychiatrist, immediately! So, damn, kids, DB is right on! I agree, as I told him, if I was being audited?by the IRS because I may have missed a couple zeros (excuse me your honor)?and reported slightly inaccurate income on those confusing tax forms (the handcuffs are too tight!), I would certainly want to find an accountant with a few decades of serious experience in that field, right? A pro!??Experience, people.?If I needed knee surgery I would ask athletes who had it done about their recommendations?for an experienced orthopedic surgeon, a sports surgeon. If I sprung a leak and needed a plumber, I'd want to make sure it's a damn professional, good plumber. You're not going to go to just any wedding planner or any photographer or any hairdresser for that big day. You want one experienced. If I have to go to court to defend myself (I was with my sister at Church) I’d have a great defense attorney that has experience! Hell yeah, I'm getting a damn good attorney with 1,000 cases under his belt. By the way, I was never convicted. I have attorneys with experience! Il conto per favore! (The check, please.)DB has had an unfortunate amount of experience which is good for you. He has been somewhat successful but in the end, going on most of these "diets", plans, programs and buying into whatever is out there, he's usually ended up?gaining most of the weight back ... in some cases even more that he lost!? Common sense will tell you if you go on a "diet" for a period of time and are really conscientious, devoted and willing to fight the fight, to stay on the strict and manipulative "diet"?and actually lose the weight, then it is the "maintenance" thing that usually bites everyone right in the ass. Ouch! More often than not, that sadly doesn't work. WHY! 'Cause you off?da?"diet"!? The poundage, it gently creeps back on to your belly, your ass, your love handles, your neck and you got your fat, puffy face back again! You have ballooned again!??Let me go drown my sorrows in yet a third bowl of ice cream! ? It's what DB calls a "life change-up". A life change-up decision.?Check out the chart on the site for you to plan your day's mini feedings (not maximized feasts!) and even those “planned” for small tastes of a craving in between! (see the photos on the following pages… I took ‘em with DB!) And have those ice cold water “fill-ups” with your foods! Who?woulda?thunk?it!? Who would argue, "Well, it wouldn't be a "diet" unless there were some restrictions, depravation of food, the elimination of?90% of the foods craved! ? It wouldn’t be a real weight loss diet without the?specific following of?menus and using scales and counting calories and doing some major, strenuous workout routines!” With the percentages so high to gain weight back by returning to your (ab)normal eating habits, after you have worked so hard with reading, counting, exercising and following detailed?food lists of “Can have and Can’t have” foods, you will go back to the?Dark-side!??You?all?know the “Dark-side”; that shadow you cast behind you? From your enormous butt! “But” you are now going to change that, right!?Tink ‘Bout It… Smokers! Smokers, do you stuff all 20 cigarettes,?from?the whole?freakin’ pack, in your mouth and light?‘em all?up, or?are you a normal puffer and?smoke one at a time, every few hours? ?Do you eat all 12 slices of pizza?from one?pie or maybe 2 slices at a time and save some for the evening and the next day? You will see that there is every kind of food you want to enjoy as long as it is JLB. ?After you lose what you want, you can eat 20% more once you have reached your desired weight, you won’t be?losing?weight anymore?but (here’s the beauty): YOU WON’T GAIN IT BACK AFTER YOU HAVE LOST WHAT YOU WANTED! Yea, Really!??So now you know, your metabolism starts burning calories you just fed your body. As you now know, unfortunately, this effect won’t last that long. Visualize?throwing some newspaper on a hot barbecue pit! The flames are at their peak?in the very beginning?but soon the paper dissipates and the flames?start dying down. That's your metabolism at work for a short period?and then that’s your metabolism flame slowly?dying,?perhaps 15 to 20 minutes after you have eaten.So,?fan the flame by simply adding some moderate form of walking or even standing and moving for 15 minutes. Understand your metabolism wants?to take a break from working on that food you just ingested and that's when the flame is starting to get weak.? And no need to?walk right after you've eaten because you got a free 15 minutes of burning going on anyway, conti idiota (you dummy). Kudos. ?I think youse all are getting’ the “plan”! You will now have a formula for a steady metabolism and you will see?your blood sugar, staying more balanced because you're no longer?stressing out your pancreas and other internal organs. ?This is also the case for?the heart, kidneys,?etc.???You'll always?feel?full and you'll always feel more comfortable, never stuffed, never starving and you’re healthier! Come on, wake up or smell the insulin, right?Throw in a few (more complex) snacks in between and you're maximizing everything. Are we wrong!? No. If you have a heavy workout?planned,?a?full day of walking while you are shopping or playing a five hour round of golf, you’ll?need to remember that you'll need?JLB?more fuel to balance?that “plan”.?Right??A few stories for those that are interested: I tried to explain this once to my uncle?Junior, more than once when he was trying to lose some weight. I kept telling?him?do this weight loss plan?just?learned?about from my pal, DB! He just wouldn’t walk the walk! I had to tell him, you cheap bastard,?just do like you do by never filling your ‘67 Caddy, cause?you are so afraid someone's going to siphon out gas from?it! ?He says he don’t mind?to only put in five?bucks?at a time?and having to stop every 20 miles to refuel. He says?that he’s retired and it gives him something to do.?I yell at him to do the same thing with your eating all day, JLB of “food” fuel!???He knows he can’t drive the whole 70 miles to?visit Aunt Lucia and Uncle Carmine?on five bucks, right?!? DB is smiling and shaking his head?“yes”?over my analogy because it absolutely equates into his metabolism formula: Gotta have some "food” fuel to get down the road,?and if you just put that fuel in, why not burn it!? So, finally (as you can see I'm rambling on to make the publisher happy that we have enough pages to go to print) it's better to actually not?fully?fuel up (one big meal) and instead make it 4 or 5 times! (DB says 5 is better.)? Your five dollars in fuel (your food) for your engine to burn (your walking) requires four more pit-stops to burn fuel, then refill, burn, refill, burn, refill, burn. Gotta do it in order… You don’t floss BEFORE you eat! You don’t water the lawn just BEFORE you mow it! Do the fill up BEFORE then burn the “food” fuel you put in. This equates to getting down the road by the end of the day, even if it is somewhat of a pain in the ass. But at least it won't be a pain in your “big” ass, after a few months! Take your “food” medicine! No one likes to take cough syrup, tastes bad, but if you gotta bad cough and the doc says take it, you take it. You gotta infection, the doc says antipasti (okay, anti“biotics'”), you take it! The dumb pimp leaves his tricked out ‘67 GTO running, you… You get my drift, okay! My relatives drive me?crazy. (Mi?fai?impazzire!) Try eating just one big meal at what you used to call “dinnertime”. You are stuffed because you ate too much, right?! Your messin’ with putting your pancreas in distress, spiking your blood sugar. Don’t be one to screw with blood sugar, you could be shortening your life with unrealized bad habits. That is the most unhealthiest type of person. JLB, all day is unarguably the best way. Get in that habit. Now, to help you get out of bad habits and onto timely eating, (remember, you all have programmable reminder apps on those cell phones) use the phone to remind you every few hours! You are running out of excuses and arguments, aren’t you?Any food can be, and I don’t want to use the word “eaten” in this sentence (not fully eaten, anyway) but like DB says, “tasted”. A taste to get the craving out of the mind. Remember, no depravation or it becomes a strict “diet”. The JLB “plan” allows for the craving “taste” to be satisfied. Gotta, just gotta have one bite of a bacon, onion ring cheese burger, go and have that one big bite and either wrap it up for another day or ditch it and be satisfied you had your moment. Need a doughnut, NO big maple bar… Just 4 doughnut holes! (Remember, sugar is cancer’s favorite meal!) You have satisfied your taste and you are into JLB, baby! “The Taste vs. The Waste” is a “waste” but, man, the satisfaction you needed can be okay once in a while. Just a taste and savor it! God help you, if you don’t savor it! Don't swallow it in a matter of a couple of seconds. Chew slowly. Who would chug a bottle of ’89 Dom Perignon ? Instead, act like the appropriate wine connoisseur you should be. “Plan” on the “savor the flavor” strategy, kids. Wine tasters spit out their “tasting”, right!? Be a snob and do the same! With JLB’s, “The Taste vs. The Waste” implemented, it may go against what your ma and grandma preached about, “Don’t waste food, there are starving people in the world.” As true as that is, to be on the “plan” you have to go against granny and mama. If it means a fast food stop once in a while, it may also mean a little waste of food if you can’t save the remaining food you craved because of being on the road or in a situation, so JLBit! Losing the tonnage is the first priority, my brothers and sisters!And, hey, speaking of tonnage, don't get frustrated if you don’t lose a pound over a day or three. You might've had too much salt or slipped of your timing with the exercise. Everyone will realize and reach some type of a plateau. Everybody is different. It's not a race, it's a marathon of ups and downs you're gonna have. There will be good streaks and not so good streaks, but you will win the war you are about to wager! And remember, it’s better to gradually lose weight. Ask your doc, kids!Everything in this "plan" is in moderation! Who can argue and whine and complain that, "I don't have 10 pamphlets to read, 27 charts to follow, 15 menus to strictly adhere to, 34 types of food to eat and 2,000 types of food to never eat?! Forget about it!??Let us not forget those specific exercise?regimens! Yuck! Okay, we are half way done with this sermon so let’s get into a few more facts, my way, Mr. Triglycerided?Cholesterol-laden, soon to be?Type-o?Two-o?Diabetic-o! Focus! Now, no one in the diet community that?exists?today or in the future, will argue with you that the key factor to?weight? loss and to maintain one's weight is metabolism. Metabolism over counting calories, metabolism over everything! It is the Holy Grail. Sure calories count, but here you don’t have to “count calories” and live and die by it. Sure exercise is a consideration, but diets are a?spina?nel?fianco?(pain in the ass). Too many mandatory counting and/or exercise regimens on top of the food restrictions.??Isn't?it?freedom we all?covet and?enjoy? Don’t you?really love what is being offered here with JLB??… E’ amore!! (That’s love).?The answer is a resounding,?yes because we enjoy our freedom and flexibility over everything?else.?? So, hopefully you stubborn?Paisano’s?now understand that you need to quit fighting these strict, inflexible "diets" because you're missing the freedom of eating whatever you want with this “plan”.??When a “diet” ends often the weight resumes. Not here! DB tagline is "eat to live, not live to eat." Embarrassing thought for us Italians! Seriously, unless you have a medical problem with a thyroid issue or another issue like perhaps the mental one you obviously all have, it is truly all about the metabolism. Got a craving, a little taste and eat whatever, then the ice cold water “fill-up”!As DB told me about his past attempts at losing weight, his starvation and heavy work out diets, yuck! Even I realized, it really was as backwards as it gets. It's like Junior in his car with basically little or no fuel trying to drive all day!? It ain't going to get you far runnin' on empty. Starving doesn't work. Too much exercise doesn't work.? It's a balance. JLB of both. Without timely, proper “food” fuel, the human body will only let you burn off muscle, fluids and tissue before fat because fat is necessary in your body to survive. That's not the type of weight you want to lose. Your body will go into a defensive mode when you're starving it and working it too hard and not let the fat dissipate. You lose a little weight and muscle and water but you'll have the fat content stored somewhere south of your man boobs and North of your ass. ?Who wants to go through life like that! You bet DB learned he starved himself with many diets over the years with grapefruit diets, no carb diets, watermelon only diets (watermelon feedings are good with JLB), and a lot of exercise that didn't work because of the lack of food in combination with the timing as to when he ate and exercised. After 40+ years he now knows, by trial and error, to finally keep his metabolic rate steady throughout the day, stoking the metabolism of fire, that critical fat burning element that is a calorie killing machine.Now, no longer needing to “lose”, he can have JLB of extra food throughout the five feedings each day, and he can easily “maintain” the weight he has found to be his ideal weight. ?You know what, he is the most interesting man in the former fat world! He is a perfectly balanced, fine-tuned engine when it comes to pacing himself on daily eating/walking process now. And knows that he can keep weight off with JLB of this undeniably the best regiment of "timing", "common sense", "willpower" and "portion sizes". Done deal.Think about it, your body, which is a miracle machine, smart enough to fight off diseases heal cuts and get over colds and more. Treat it well. Justa ‘Lil Bit! (Solo un po!). Now, eating?the?right?portion?sizes are as important as the walk after the “feeding”... Have one nice big slice of pizza, have a regular, a small hamburger, gotta have their big burger get it cut in half! Gotta?have fried chicken, have a single chicken breast not fatty thighs with?skin,?stupid!Or, go ahead and have three slices of pizza and a bucket of chicken thighs,?eat the whole?Big?Burger?(hey, I know, have it supersized with a chocolate shake and ask for a side of lard so you can dip your fries! Which person are you,?stupido?(really) or brillante (smart)?? The better foods will allow you to be healthier and lose weight, but you are not restricted. Falling off the wagon once in a while with a little cheat, maybe every 5 days, but JLB of a cheat, like skippin’ the walk.This might put it in perspective for you. If you don't believe us, call that?nutritionist or a dietitian and ask them if it's okay to exercise for an hour or two, before eating some proper foods that are better for your body. Go ahead, we dare you. Let's say you actually have JLB of common sense and can figure out these analogies: Say you want to go ahead and run 3 miles but decide to do it on an empty stomach, you know, you're going to get the shakes and I don't mean the type of shakes you're used to sucking down with two straws! Do you take aspirin and your pills without any water on an empty stomach? Hell to the no. Think about it. Common sense! Is it now starting to makes sense! Put fuel?(food)?in your system? Good. Let that be what drives your machine, your body organs, your heart and your metabolism. Then just burn off what you filled your tank with! Everything needs to be a balance, right? If you are going to play racquetball, or walk for five hours with a round of golf, or do hours of yard?work, you better stay hydrated and you damn well better eat a little more carbohydrates as well as protein!? Why?!? Because you're about to do a strenuous thing! Balance, please!You gotta have a doughnut, do it in the AM not the PM! If that's in your “plan”, then you need to have the calorie intake earlier that is a bit higher to maintain a balance. If you eat nothing and you go jog or exercise or go out mowing the lawn or something, your blood sugar will drop and if I haven't called you stupid yet, now I will. Miscellaneous?Crap and Tips?So some of you might find the 15 minute routine might actually be harder but you can do it.? If you're at work, excuse yourself a couple of times a day to allow the fat to leave that blubber party that has been going on in your body for too damn long, kids. Find time and work out a deal with your boss or manager that you’ll clock in a little early and out a little later as well as shorten your lunch hour. Whatever, the workplace needs to work with you for your health goals, right?!DB, he just made a good point, if we only would have learned this simple crap in grammar school we would have been started on a proper eating exercise routine! If we had knowledge in our youth, this would all be just a routine.Just balance these food groups as much as you can. No protein and too much?carbs?or sugar can't win any battle.?Insulin wants your body to use sugar instead of fat for energy!? No,?no!? ?Insulin?will shut down the fat storage vault and then,?youa?willa losea noa?fata! A lower?carb?diet will use less insulin?and,?voila, them fat?fellas?are going?to released into the blood and be burned off so, stupid, eat less?carbs?but don't go no-carb?either. You need some good?carbs, too!? Look up good?carbs?on-line 'cause I didn't?charge you all enough to list, "good?carbs?and bad?carbs?or slow?carbs?and fast?carbs, okay!? Do some work, people!Then, one day after you've reached the weight you want to reach because you have been serious about this, remember you got to do the same cool routine to maintain yourself like DB has, but you can have JLB more food knowing you're going to work at doing that optimal?metabolism walk. You won’t lose but you also won’t gain! Some of DB’s tricks are like if you want some?French fries then get a small order fries and eat just half; If you are not feelin’ the small, basic burger and want the thicker one, then have half of that burger. Order it cut in half and in two containers! Half to eat there, the other to take home in a second container. They can't refuse you. Save it and have the other half later for two separate “feedings”! If you have the means to store it for a few hours, then you’ll have the other half, right?? If you're playing the damn game, play it well. Order the burgers without mayonnaise or some fatty special sauce and add more mustard to spike your metabolism!When DB first told me about his “Taste vs. The Waste” thing when he had been on the road for half a day driving, to satisfying his craving for something, but not wanting to digest it all, well, yeah. (I told him that it was some kinda gross). The?willpower?needs?to kick in and if it meant having to “waste” the food into a bag, oh well. Physiologically, he'd still have the satisfaction of savoring the flavor and the taste but not digest it. So be it. Or should I say, so JLB it! Come on, kids, do you want to really argue this?! Good!Otherwise, be wise an get the smallest burger in joint and put mustard and?a little ketchup?on instead of the mayo and cheese! Load it up with onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles and don’t forget that mustard. It’s a smart move to plan ahead before you order and say to yourself, “I have a “plan.” Save half of whatever for a “feeding” later in the day. Microwave it!??DB gave me a cool tip by using the defrost setting on your microwave to reheat food versus the high-power, dry the food out?crapola. It is more conducive to refreshing your potential leftover food item versus just regular?defrost. It takes JLB longer but is much better for bringing back the original integrity of the food as far as drying it out. The?pay-off?is not having such a spongy or rubbery flavor profile coming out of your microwave.?Experiment with the defrost and learn?how to manipulate it because in this case, manipulation is okay!This country is going through an obesity epidemic and you're part of it. Got a lot of things we can do about climate change, environmental concerns, moral decay issues, society imbalance, etc. You should be seriously addressing your own little planet Fatso first!? Your body must come first! Okay, I am going to be a little calmer over the next few pages as I tell you a bit about DB. LIFE AS?A 350 POUND DICK?"His mom had the only 350 pound Dick on the block."True story about DB's mom.?Hey, DB, his freshman year in high school he weighed 305 pounds!? By the time he was a senior, although he didn't look it, he weighed 350.Here is this typical jolly, fat boy. No, his mom said he was just a big boned boy, still carrying his baby fat at 17, eating his biggest big meal usually right before bed. Ouch!DB’s friends used to joke around with him saying his mom had the only 350 pound "dick" on their block.? He liked the attention because it did come from his friends. He would say to himself, no big deal,?che?me ne?importa (what?do I care?) Deep down he would have actually liked to have attention on him.Again, think about it; to instead be, say, the star baseball player running down fly balls at the warning path or intercepting a football and out running the others for a TD, he settled for what he got. After all, it was a way of life for him, even at that young age. He yearned for the attention he got in Little League hitting the hell out of the ball for homers but could not run out a double or triple! In Junior high, he did good in track but in high school, he kept getting injured because of the weight.Like most people that are overweight, especially back in the early 70’s when he was in high school, it wasn't accepted to say I'm comfortable in my own skin or big is beautiful, or this or that social remark reflecting political correctness. It hurt him to have a crap metabolism that kept him a big sized guy. He got to a healthier size as a na?ve teenager in a bad way. Throughout an entire summer, as a sophomore, getting ready for football camp, he just ran and worked out on weights at the gym, but with hardly eating! He was being stupid (his words) about the whole process for three months. Then, after just two weeks in camp, he got injured taking a beating during those two a day practices. A month later, boom 40 pounds more weight is back on. He tried again his junior year and just kept getting injured.? By his early 20’s he lost an enormous amount of weight, over 100 pounds, and DB began what would be three decades of self-education by trial and mostly error. He did this more slowly and methodically during a 15 month stretch but, 60% slowly came back on over the next few years. All the “diet” concepts didn’t quite work; although unbeknownst to him, he did touch more onto the combo of eating before workouts but, JLB.By his mid-30’s, he had experience one diet after another. Although he would sometimes lose 40, even 50 pounds, he would end up putting half of that back on over a year or so. Little by little, he would whittle away from that gain and was pretty content exercising but by eating on a regular basis.? DB‘s?goal was to find a formula that would keep the weight off once it was lost. Fad diets, liquid diets, restrictive food diets, worked but when the diet ended, the gaining began. He just wanted to eat somewhat normally without fearing that awful sensation of gaining a pound or two back in a week. He also was tired of literally spending thousands of dollars on various diets!?It wasn't till the late 80’s and early 90’s that DB and his soon-to-be wife Christina were educated by a dietitian that metabolism was?key. But, and pardon the reality of that education, it was informative but not inspiring. It was just not laid out to be motivating enough to have a 24-year-old dietitian behind a desk explaining that you're exercising too much and not eating enough. It didn't make sense, yet. It soon would.So, since his first attempts at age 14 and right up until about three years ago at age 58, he realized what was staring him right in the face… The key elements in all his decades of dieting… Metabolism, light exercise and timely intervals of small amounts of food. When came the realization that 60 is around the corner. Health and long term care insurance required that 50 pounds come from his 260 pound frame. That's when, at age 59, he decided to be diligent and do the JLB "plan", full-time! It has worked!? I dig telling his story because it will help others. He's actually told the first part of his early story in a nearly produced screenplay. Like this book now, nearly forty years ago he wrote his true story to inspire others. It was at that time in his life when he lost over 100 pounds. The script was optioned and nearly produced. It was called "Hey, Fats!" Then, he was inspired by “Rocky” and went on that 100 pound loss by only focusing on his workout thing and less food intake. That experience only brought temporary success. The strenuous activity for year and a half, not eating right, and his body suffered for it with an irregular heartbeat, anemia, blood sugar issues, urinary infections brought ER visits, too.Now he doesn’t have to deprive himself of foods. He doesn’t have to go through a stringent exercise regiment. No more harts and calorie counting or having to eat specific “shipped” foods. He always remembers that dietitian from decades ago and put his “plan” into practice. Moderation, portions, pace the eating, and time the light exercising. Life is all about timing, my friends, right? You don't hold your ice cream cone for 10 minutes in the hot sun while walking home before you eat it! I will melt! When do you propose??When do you crack the right joke? Don’t ask me!Okay, enough about Mr. not-so-fat nice guy, I’m Back!TricksSometimes you have to play tricks in life… If you're tempted at a party or office function and out of your element of control momentarily, you need to pretend everything is made with lard or Crisco! Do this especially with the sweets, the pies, the cookies, the milkshakes. Pretend that white frosting on the big slice of wedding cake you were jsut served is actually that flavored lard, plugging up your arteries! Trick yourself with some psychology to disrupt eating certain bad foods you may crave, otherwise you will gorge on those foods. On the other hand, take a non-gorge approach and have a single bite of that “lard” wedding cake! JLB!Seriously, for other foods, add some seasonings… lemon, garlic, spices, sauces. Spice it up! Remember, always have some ice in that cold water and add some flavor in the form of good fruit juices. About fruit; choose wisely if you are serious about losing, okay? You probably have read about some of the foods that are high in sugar, well stay away from those.?Such as bananas?and grapes.?Again, I'm not wasting my time or yours having to write endless lists! Hell no! Google and read the Nutritional Lists on the box, okay?!?If you just stop and think common sense will give you 95% of your answers.?Think, good fatty acids like you find in avocados, nuts like?almonds and pistachios, olive oil,?coconut oil (in coffee or tea), grape seed?oil (grill your meats with that marinade), all great. Use these oils and some seasoning on?asparagus?and?grill them! Spice it it with a metabolism booster like Capsaicin! Cut up a bunch of vegetables like broccoli or zucchini. Try the same with cauliflower and season them in your oven. Broil them for five minutes, or, better yet, bust them out on the?char-broiler?and get the smoky flavor. One favorite vegetable for a lot of people is mushrooms and with JLB of butter, cook the mushrooms until brown. The best flavor for thinly sliced mushroom comes from cooking them a little extra, until they get very dark, almost burnt. That gives them a whole different flavor profile! Season sliced mushrooms and put on a salad! For a breakfast feeding, mix with an egg and some of those grilled veggies. Maybe add a half of a slice of smoky Gouda cheese to spice it up. There are a number of ways to add flavor based on what your sensibilities for taste. Delicious and satisfying.?Do it,?and don’t make me call you an idiot! Oh, I probably already did.Don't forget a little more protein and a little less?carbs?is your mantra. I personally don't live with that mantra but I weigh 181! Oops, lost a pound writing today!?Same thing?with carbonated?drinks.?Carbonation is really not good for your?esophagus or bones, as studies have shown but sometimes, like myself, you may want and need JLB of carbonation with a hamburger. Mix half a diet (also not really good for you) and half regular soda just never use a straw. A straw allows too much of the soda product consumption than if you truly sip from the rim of a cup! Try it! Only 4 to 6 ounces of that 50/50 mix. Then, have that cold glass of water to quench your thirst, not more soda.?Tricks my friends, tricks.?Regarding water, learn the latest about not only the BPA scare but then there are other problems with other bottled containers so look at alternative methods. You need minerals and the nutrients in water but in the proper container. You do the research; it constantly changes like my personality. Don't forget, when you decide to do this “plan”, you want to shop for a small little ice chest before anything else. Buy some of those reusable, hard containers that you can put an ice chest to keep your food cold for travel or the workplace. For home cookin’, buy small containers and baggies hopefully filling these up in certain portions that are sensible for JLB. Do your snacks in them, too. Making homemade portions for some feedings is good. Use the “Daily Planner” outline on the website and, well, PLAN THINGS OUT!?Cook?stuff?at home and do the fast food gig the same day! The next day, mix it up and take that?small cooler in the car with you to work, school, trips and even use it to store half of thre fast food/restaurant thing for later. Gotta plan, baby!Now, plan on boosting your metabolism with the apple cider vinegar (AC Vin) whenever you can. The most recent studies have shown that it eats away at fat and keeps your metabolism fired up. So, whenever you can strategize a little cooking do the AC Vin. Another goodie is Turmeric, good for helping to reduce inflammation and like AC Vin, it boosts your metabolism. There are lots of food combinations that can be paired as well. We mentioned Greek yogurt for one. Organic Greek yogurt paired with certain foods can make it a super food for your metabolism. Go to ?and look at all the proteins, fruits and vegetables.?Also,?check out?. Get encouraged by the variety of things you can have the supplement your cravings and your non-deprivation of foods and make it part of this plan. Plan your fast food or whatever restaurant trips with some more tricks. Have that handful of almonds and maybe just a few dried raisins, although a bit rich and sugary, it will make you thirsty and you will suck down that cold water. Be smart, take a bottle of that cold water with you!On the drive to the restaurant (especially the grocery store), everywhere so you feel fuller and don’t shopping or go in that food joint hungry! Wow! You’ll learn. When you get to the social event, don't be afraid to tell people you're on this cool ass JLB plan?so you don't look like an idiot (there’s that word again) when you only have half portions or when you put your order in and ask the waiter to just bring half of it and box the rest before you have even taken a bite. Instead of chilling out and having some after dinner drink or dessert, excuse yourself by telling them the truth... You need to walk for 15 minutes because it's been 15 minutes since you finished eating! That simple! Make up excuses that you need to make a phone call and then take that critical 15 minute break and walk around the restaurant block twice. Make sure they don't think you're a cheap bastard trying to get away from the table when the bill comes so drop your 20 or 40 bucks out there… On the other hand, screw ‘em, let them pick up the tab! Did I just say that?!If you're at a fast food restaurant and by?yourself,?you have tons of options on how you ask for the food with less bread, half the cheese, skip the mayo! Get the mustard, add extra onions, lettuce, tomato, no special sauces, etc. If you are weak, just a half order French fries, and eat the little greasy bastards one at a time, slowly! Tell ‘em you will pay for the full order. If they argue, make a new freakin’ drive thru on the other end of the building! That’s the Chicago way! Okay, okay, calm-down (to myself). Stuck behind a desk at work and can’t walk? Come on, do some leg lifts at the desk! Lie and pretend to go to the restroom for 5 lousy minutes (use the stairs) and take 10 minutes! Your job has you driving on the freeway, put it on cruise and move the free leg. Beat the system and get creative to get in that 15 minutes of movement after a meal. Are you serious here or just reading to be entertained?!Tell your pals what you learned here with these great analogies like how Uncle Junior’s five dollars of gas doesn’t get it. ?Tell ‘em about my aunt, who used to tell my?other?cousin Sal, “Sal, non buon senso!” (no common sense). She knew?Bonnie, you know, of Bonnie?and Clyde?Infamy, and tried to make them listen saying, “Bonnie, justa roba onea ora twoa?banka?anda calla ita a careera.” But?did?they listen?!? No!?They had to go rob a few dozen and finally get shot up?to look like Swiss cheese. (Which is lower in fat, by the way.) Take advice! (Don’t rob too many banks!)Advice, comin’ at ya… The latest studies on breakfast say it's?the most important “meal” because metabolism needs to get off to a good start. ?That’s cool just make sure you have a little more protein?and?fruit in the AMand don't forget the daily vitamins. Hell, if you have too, you can have a few doughnut holes or even a small whole one to get it out of your sad way, but remember, have it in the morning, you’ll burn it off through the day. At night, a doughnut, before bed? Fine. Look for that head of a horse at the foot of your bed! My Don Corleone gift, Mr. Jack “No JLB” Woltz! (Google the “Godfather”, if you’re under 30). And while you are on the internet, review what daily supplements you should take. By the way, unless you have arrhythmia?or a caffeine intolerance, we suggest a good strong Ice-T of ethnic variety that has a flavor profile you like to act like a diuretic for you and of course we all know the benefits of green tea.?No sweetened tea! Check out matcha tea, a green powder, and kimchi, good and spicy for veggies!. Get that Greek organic yogurt with live and active cultures as a probiotic. Grains like Quinoa are great! Google away!And on the subject of probiotics (and prebiotics), you need to take care of your brain to help prevent dementia/ Alzheimer’s by feeding your stomach right. Listen up Mien Captian Haagen Dazs! Write these down and consume them! Probiotics: Fermented veggies, sauerkraut, Kefir, MISO soup, kombucha tea and kimchi! Prebiotics: Asparagus, artichokes, onions, garlic, raw honey, AC Vin, cruciferous vegetables (like cauliflower),berries, jicama and almonds!Even I do what DB’s done for years with a?version of the European cocktail that has been around for 10 years. A combo of Co-enzyme 10, helps lower blood pressure naturally, a daily multiple vitamin suited for your age, plenty of vitamin C, definitely a vitamin D3 and the lowest dosage of a Satin. (The Satin at bedtime of course and a baby aspirin are distinct possibilities.) No matter these considerations, make your goal of researching what boosts metabolism. Especially those who have, unlike me, slow metabolic rates. And for you lucky ladies that have reached the ”pause” in life’s cycle, you must fight even harder to “spice” it up (seasonings and spices to foods); chill it out (ice cold water “fill-ups” with your foods) and fight the weight gain with weight (the kind you lift!) So is JLB cool or what? Every meal can be a happy meal without going through the Golden Arches but if you want, go to them “arches”. DB is, as am I, a big fan of a little lemon or orange peel. Whatever turns the cold water into a quench the thirst, fill up. Try naturally squeezed lemons. Make ice cubes with them that can then be placed in the water to cool it and flavor it. Be careful for those of you who may have acid reflux with the citrus. And watermelon?is really great! Full of?lycopene?and refreshing. Better than some of the more sugary melons that you could avoid.Don't forget a little “spice” (not handcuffs on the bedpost) like Tabasco sauce,?Cayenne?pepper and curry. Fire up the metabolism with these! Whitman sugar-free products have sugar alcohol which messes with metabolic rate to a degree, but it's the lesser of two evils (Hillary, Trump) over pure chocolate. (Unless you have dark chocolate that is full of flavanols (Google!) which is good for the heart, fights blood pressure and diabetes! That you could have a little more?often to?satisfy that sweet craving.)? Again, moderation. JLB! Gotta?have a?beer,?make it a?light?beer, right??(If you are serious about losing, don’t chug it and drink half of the bottle, then put it back in the fridge for later. Then, then, chase each half bottle down with ice cold glass of water. Just having water, maybe add some berry or a peel or slice of an orange, lemon, lime or grape fruit, whatever. Do it so you get some satisfying flavor all to simply fill up faster. Figure it out! With cold water in play, yeah, it's your life's blood, it is the "fill pill" of choice!Time to man up or is it time to pay out? No expensive system is better than this because this?is not really a “system”. You don't have to?eat specific foods! You don’t have to deprive?yourself of any food! You don’t have a clue, do you! Back to page one!!! For those that got it… We are almost done here ‘cause I gotta pick up my dinner at LOU’S ALL YOU CAN EAT CHINEESE.

BEST would be from food groups we have mentioned here. GOOD are foods that are the ones you like a lot but will use moderately. (Right?!) MAYBE BAD is the group that you should indulge in say every few (4) days (CHEATER!) This will be a good reminder of all the foods you can play with. Don’t be the Biggest Looser… In the negative way!
