Weight watching


I just found - quite by accident, as usual - an ad about dieting and weight loss. It purports to help you lose weight fast and at the same time, to not be a fad diet plan. It's called Wu-Yi tea. It claims that everyone is mad about it and that it really works. I had not heard of this tea before, but then, I had not looked for it since I don't think I need to lose weight. I just don't eat all that much - just enough to get by. The maker of the tea advises its clients to stay away from patches, fat blockers, magnet diet pills, bulk producers (such as guar gum, whatever that is), muscle stimulators, and acupuncture. The owner of the Wu-Yi tea company is one Kenneth Liu. He sells a weight loss system, not just the tea. If you have already tried this magic bullet and found it worked for you, please let me know. I am always so skeptical.

Healthy Foods


According to many nutritionists, these are the top ten must-have foods, in no particular order: TOMATOES, BLUEBERRIES, OLIVE OIL, GARLIC, RED GRAPES, SPINACH, WHOLE GRAINS, TUNA, NUTS, and TEA. I have no clue how many servings of each you should have or at what time of day you should eat them or anything else. I looked and looked but could not find beer (nor pizza) on the list. I would go easy on the NUTS, the OLIVE OIL, the GARLIC, and the WHOLE GRAINS. For further information, look at other websites - for serving portions and recipes and so forth.
