Why eating like a “celebrity” will ruin your metabolism There was a time in my life, many, many years ago, that I used to buy into “celebrity” diets. I’d pick up the current People or Us magazine and read how Oprah or some other celebrity had lost extreme amounts of weight–quickly. The celebrity would claim that all they had to do was eat pre-packaged food, or consume a liquid-only diet, or eat a low calorie diet and/or take a magic supplement to drop pounds rapidly. I would see the before and after pictures and think, “Wow, that diet really worked, look how fast they lost weight, and see how good they looked.”. Both the celebrity and I would assume the diet really worked! What you didn’t see or hear about was how the celebrity, three months later, was struggling to keep off the weight. Then within the next 6 months to 2 years, the same celebrity would show up in People or Us magazine with all the weight back on confessing they had no will power and they had failed, once again, at keeping their weight down. Oprah, it’s not you fault!!! How many of you have seen these headlines in a magazine, TV show, on the Internet or one of the other million of places you are marketed to? *Learn how insert celebrity name here lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. *Or learn how insert celebrity name here lost her baby weight in 60 days. *Or learn how insert celebrity name here got red-carpet ready.

Food Made Easy
Scrambled eggs with mushrooms and cheese.
Since it was my birthday yesterday, I thought I'd get wild and crazy and make SCRAMBLED eggs vs. my normal poached or fried eggs.
In my 20's, being wild and crazy meant staying out to 3AM (the following morning)
In my 30's, being wild and crazy meant staying out to 3PM (the following day)
In my 40's, being wild and crazy has meant staying up to 11PM (same day)
Approaching my 50's wild and crazy means scrambling my eggs over poached/fried. Crazy--I KNOW!
2 eggs scrambled With
2 T. Parmesian cheese AND
2 ounces of cooked white button mushrooms (boiled for 3 hours the day before)
1 oz. whole milk
1 Piece of sour dough bread (ingredients: wheat, water, salt)
1tsp. butter
1/2 cup of cooked fruit (apples, pears, cinnamon and butter)
