Healthy Diet Snacks Blog

I read on Yahoo News this morning about a guy who lost 80 pounds eating only McDonald’s food. There was also a link to a video from one of them Good Morning shows on one of them US networks with the broadcaster interviewing the man himself. He spoke about how for the past six months he ate mostly McDonald’s food like salads, wraps, regular hamburgers/cheeseburgers without the bun and Apple Dippers without the caramel sipping sauce. Well, this is all well and good but I can’t help but think that what he ate wasn’t typically McDonald’s fare. Normally when I think of McDonald’s I think about Big Mac’s, Quarter Pounder’s with Cheese, French Fries, Shakes and those delicious Apple pies. The fact that he just ate salads, bunless patties and apples, which you can get anywhere, makes the fact that he ate this food at McDonald’s an after-thought. He could just as easily had the same amount and types of food at home with similar results…and probably at less expense. Now, I am not begrudging him his success and at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how he lost it, but the hard part now I think will be maintaining that weight loss. And hopefully he can pull it off without having to rely on the Golden Arches. The cool thing though is that once again someone has given proof to the “mystery” of weight loss, which is healthy foods and smaller portions. So for that I say “Kudos” for taking a step in a positive direction…:)

Hi all. I’ve been lax in my postings due to a ton of web work and other distractions but I’m now getting back to a more relaxed routine so I hope to be blogging about healthy diet snacks with more regularity. That being said, I was looking over a couple of weight loss blogs and came across a yummy dessert that is only 100 calories but sounds like it tastes like a lot more…:) Check out Joanne Weintraub’s inspiring and humorous blog Losing It to look over the ACCIDENTAL 100-CALORIE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE recipe. It sounds like a great healthy diet snack idea and I’m definitely going to try it out myself. I’ll let you know how it turns out or if you try it before me leave a comment. Have a healthy and yummy day…:)
