Reading Material, Maintenance

The book I referenced a couple days ago had another spot (page 93) that I thought was hilarious and wanted to share:

A cartoon recently caused a national smile when it depicted a very stout man receiving a bottle of pills from his doctor.  They are not for eating, explains the doctor, just spill them on the floor once a day and pick them up one at a time.

That's about the best dietary use for amphetamines and other pills I've come across.

Hahahaa!  I love that!  Maybe we should each buy a bottle of 250 +/- pills at the beginning of P3 for our daily exercise?  lol!  Think about all the crawling around we'd have to do to find those things under furniture and so forth.  Yikes!  Think about the furniture we'd have to move!

I suspect that I'd just have to break out a vacuum and be done with it after the first couple of tries.  Yah.  I use a Dyson Ball vacuum.  I think I did pretty good with drawing it in Paint, too!  I put the picture from Amazon so you can compare.  :)

Reading Material, Maintenance

Recently, I've been reading "Fat Destroyer Foods: The Magic Metabolizer Diet" by Sidney Petrie.  (Inexpensive book, by the way.)  Page 48 states some interesting points:

Proteins, and even fats, are fat destroyer foods.  Put them in the company of carbohydrates and they switch roles.  A protein or fat calorie, paired with a carbohydrate calorie, makes two fat producing calories.

One carbohydrate calorie can change the life style of ten and even twenty calories.  In other words, if you are destroying your fat with 2,500 protein calories a day and you let 100 carbo-cals creep in, you will probably gain instead of lose.

You are better off eating 3,000 protein and fat calories.  You will in all likelihood continue to lose.  But let your carbo-cal guard down for just one beer and your fat destroyer foods are now geared to put he poundage on instead of take it off.

That's pretty close in, when you consider how many calories are in a single slice of toast, for instance.  65 calories.  So, if you wanted to have a sandwich (two slices of bread), that would put you over the 100 carbo-calories and you'd be stuck gaining weight that day!

Holy cow!
