Basic Diet Information from YouTube Grandma - POSTED ON: Nov 18, 2011
On my YouTube DietHobby channel, I frequently get messages like this:
Grandma, I need to lose weight fast, please help, what should I eat and not eat.
Here is an example of my reply:
My website, at www.diethobby.com is where you should go
for information about dieting and weight loss.
That is the way I can give people information
without saying the same thing over and over.
But I do have a little bit of time right now,
so you can start with this information,
and then for more information go there.
Almost no one loses fat pounds fast.
During the first two weeks of sticking to a diet,
most people lose about 5 to 7 lbs, but most of that is because
a person has less water and waste in their body.
After a couple of weeks their body stops losing weight
until their water/waste issues readjust,
Buddha Take - POSTED ON: Nov 16, 2011
This month I've been suffering from overload. Not overloaded with too much food, because I've been working hard to avoid that, but rather emotionally overloaded.
Partly this is due to the disruption of my normal routine by my household plumbing emergency and repairs, but a great deal of it is the busy schedule I've been keeping making videos, and answering viewers questions on YouTube. This YouTube Grandma thing is taking a giant chunk of my time... like almost ALL of it. The companion DietHobby channel on YouTube now has more than 2000 subscribers. So, I think and write more than ever before, but for right now, most of it is happening on my DietHobby YouTube channel where I'm answering my YouTube Grandbaby's questions about Life-in-general rather than writing about dieting issues here on my website.
My husband is a Vietnam veteran, and one of the things about that culture that impressed him, was the saying and the attitude..."Buddha Take"... House gone, family gone,... Vietnamese people would just shake their heads open their hands and say "Buddha Take". That has become a saying in our household when something changes or disappears. "Buddha Take."
I'm striving to achieve a balance, and I believe this will happen, but it may take awhile. So, if you come here and wonder what is happening, where are all the insightful articles about dieting issues, ......... "Buddha Take"
Selfishness - POSTED ON: Nov 15, 2011
Today, I uploaded a video about Selfishness. I find the saying interesting and thought provoking.
Is it true for all? I don't know, Perhaps it is something that is true only some of the time? Depending on how that truth is applied?
Computer Frustration - POSTED ON: Nov 14, 2011
Right this minute, as I write this, I am soooo frustrated. Just as I put the finishing touches on my day's article, which I felt was inspired, having spent the past 2 hours writing it. my MacBook Air did one of it's tempermental crashes, and I lost the entire article. Perhaps I'll write it again another time, but not today.
So annoying.
Today I posted another cooking video, Grandma's Goulash which is located at DietHobby, under RECIPES, Mealtime. When exercising appropriate portion control, this dish will fit into a low-calorie lifestyle.
A Powerful Combination - POSTED ON: Nov 13, 2011
Dreams and dedication IS a powerful combination. Successful weight-loss and maintenance of that weight-loss takes both of these elements.
If one didn't have the dream, there would be no incentive or motivation to make it happen. If one doesn't have the dedication, one won't follow through with the effort that it takes to make it happen.
And, make no mistake, a Great Deal of Effort is needed. Marketing interests that tell you different are lying to you. Yes, they are allowed to do that.
