About This Site

At The Lazy Dieter we have one core belief: losing weight does NOT have to be difficult. Most people get frustrated when they're told all the things they MUST do get thinner, when in reality, most great weight loss tips are easy to understand and easy to follow.

My goal is to lose 20 lbs by the end of the summer and I will keep you posted not only on my progress, but the techniques I use to drop some pounds. I will also be posting news articles and links to websites that I think give the most practical, easy-to-follow, advice on dieting, exercise and weight loss. If you find something you'd like to share with me or my readers, drop me a line at badjocks@yahoo.com.

New Diet and Weight Loss Website Offers Effective Programs for Major Weight Loss from Celebrity Fitness Pro

A brand-new website at http://diet-weight-loss-center.info/ helps people lose weight fast for summer. The diet and weight loss site provides two different options for significant weight loss.

Just in time for summer, swim suits and shorts, a brand-new diet, detox and weight loss website at http://diet-weight-loss-center.info/ provides the latest plans for losing weight at home. Developed by celebrity fitness pro John Spencer Ellis, who offered his expertise on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County, the proven diet and weight loss programs include both a nine-day and 30-day detox option.

The average weight loss in the nine-day detox and cleansing diet program is seven pounds; this program includes premium nutrients through high-quality Isagenix supplements to spur fat loss. In addition, the 30-day program is designed for men and women interested in losing more weight over a longer period of time – the nine-day program can also be incorporated into the 30-day plan.

“This system provides a groundbreaking path to better health and weight loss as it helps the body gently get rid of potentially harmful impurities and replace them with essential vitamins,” said Ellis, founder of John Spencer Ellis Enterprises, a personal development and fitness solutions company. “These two natural weight loss programs are simple to use and incredibly effective.”

In addition to consistent weight loss over time, other benefits of the diet and detox programs include increased energy, reduced cravings for unhealthy food, improved muscle tone and balanced digestion.

Living with food allergies forced me pay attention to everything I ate. Working in an environment where there was a constant plethora of tasty treats was a huge challenge.

I needed to find a strategy that would help me stay on track, avoid these temptations, and feel better about making healthier choices. Here are five ways you can clean up your diet at the office:

Are Diet Sodas Good For You?

Sounds like the jury is still out on this one, but for me personally, I feel better (and seem to eat better) when I'm not drinking soda--leaded or unleaded.  Your comments below.

Details from RGJ:
I confess, I drink diet soda on occasion. I started to wonder, since there is plenty of mixed research, whether diet sodas are really bad for your health.
The jury is still out. A number of studies have implicated diet beverages as a cause of cardiovascular disease, yet other studies say that diet sodas can help to reduce calorie intake.
A recent study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who consumed diet beverages tended to be less healthy than people who did not consume them. The researchers studied data collected more than 20 years from more than 4,000 young adults who participated in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study.

40-Year-Old Mother of Two Cuts Out Sugar, Looks 20 Years Younger

Too much sugar in your diet is not just about weight and th potential for diabetes. It can impact the way you look!

The biggest compliment anyone can pay Wendy Powell is to call her a liar. The mother of two absolutely adores it when people refuse to believe she is all of her 40 years.  ‘Better still is when I bump into people who I haven’t seen for a long time,’ she says. ‘It’s not unusual for them to say “wow you look better than you did 20 years ago”, which is wonderful.’ And the reason for this sudden turning back of the years? It’s not weight loss, expensive cosmetic surgery or the glow of a new and exciting love affair.

Wendy says she initially cut sugar from her diet, not because she wanted to look younger, but because she was studying to become a personal trainer

Wendy, a personal trainer and mother-of-two from Truro, in Cornwall, who runs a personal training company, the MuTu System, puts it all down to cutting sugar from her diet. She swears it has helped rejuvenate her skin more effectively than any so-called miracle cream ever could.

Doctor on "60 Minutes" High Sugar Intake Causing Heart Disease, Cancer

How about a little sugar with your . . . sugar? (See CBS news video below.)
Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, believes the high amount of sugar in the American diet, much of it in processed foods, is killing us. And as Dr. Sanjay Gupta reports, new scientific research seems to support his theory that sugar is toxic, including some linking the excess ingestion of sugars to heart disease. Gupta's report will be broadcast on 60 Minutes Sunday, April 1 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Americans are now consuming nearly 130 pounds of added sugars per person, per year. Those include both sugar and high fructose corn syrup. And while many vilify high fructose corn syrup and believe it is worse than sugar, Dr. Lustig says metabolically there is no difference. "They are basically equivalent. The problem is they're both bad. They're both equally toxic," he says.
Dr. Lustig treats sick, obese children, who he believes are primarily sick because of the amount of sugar they ingest. He says this sugar not only leads to obesity, but to "Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease itself." Something needs to be done says Dr. Lustig. "Ultimately, this is a public health crisis...you have to do big things and you have to do them across the board," he tells Gupta. "Tobacco and alcohol are perfect examples," he says, referring to the regulations imposed on their consumption and the warnings on their labels. "I think sugar belongs in this exact same wastebasket."
