Losing Weight - The Irish Way
Here are some new diet rules you can actually live by! Start losing all the weight you ever dreamed of losing! * If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are canceled out by the diet soda. * If you fatten everyone else around you, then you look thinner. So encourage others to eat more... and more often... * Broken Cookie pieces contain no fat - the process of breaking the cookie causes the fat to breakdown before it is actually eaten. * Exception: Cookies sold by Texas D" Lites distributors. * Great "Meal Replacement" with little or no fat content, low in calories, lots of fiber, protein, and other nutritional ingredients. * Foods that are frozen have no calories because calories are units of heat. Examples are Ice Cream, Frozen pies and popsicles. * Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories, e.g. spinach and pistachio ice cream; mushrooms and white chocolate. * Note: Chocolate is a universal color and maybe substituted for any other food color without increasing caloric content. * In food used for medicinal purposes the calories NEVER count, such as hot chocolate, brandy, toast, and Sara Lee Cheesecake. * Movie related foods (Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) do not have additional calories because they are not part of one's personal fuel ... merely entertainment. * Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a knife when making a sandwich, ice cream on a spoon when making a sundae. * When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you don't eat more than they do. (see above, encouraging others)
