How You Can Eat Carbohydrates and Still Lose WeightWritten by Jason Barger
When I decided to lose weight I of course decided to do as much planning as possible. It seems older I get harder it is to do anything without completely planning it out. Anyways, I had already been on all protein diets and knew that they worked. The only problem was I could never stick to them for very long.So I decided to research net a little more and see if I could find some other program that I had not yet heard about. I noticed something kind of strange, more I looked around at different weight loss articles. The two types of people that seemed to be claiming their way of eating was best, were either vegans or no carbohydrate eaters. This made sense to me. I mean, I know people who have lost lots of weight eating no carbohydrates. And if you know anyone who is a vegan, you know that they are generally very slim. So I researched some more and came across some articles on food combining. These people claimed that you can eat whatever you want as long as you combine it properly. You can eat pasta as long as you only eat it with vegetables. Or, you can eat meat as long as you only eat it with vegetables.

Do you know what day January 17th is? Here's a hint: it has to do with New Year's Resolutions. If you’re like most Americans, January brings a renewed sense of energy and motivation that usually results in a “New Year’s Resolution.” But if you have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (also known as ADD or ADHD), making positive changes may be more of a challenge than it seems.There are three things that make New Year’s Resolutions difficult for ADDers. The first is that we can sometimes get over-ambitious, and set goals that are not very realistic. An example of this kind of goal is “I will lose 40 pounds this year.” While losing weight is usually a positive, healthy choice, setting a specific number of pounds to lose makes goal difficult to achieve. How do you know that 40 pounds is right number? How do you know that you can actually lose 40 pounds in just one year? The only way you can achieve this goal is to actually lose 40 pounds in one year. A more realistic and attainable goal is “I will commit to weight loss and a healthier lifestyle this year.” This goal is about making small changes in your lifestyle that will result in better health. If you do your best to make good choices, then you’ll achieve your goal. The second thing that can make a resolution difficult is reason behind it. Are you setting a goal to make a change that you really want to make, or a change that you think you should make? There is a big difference. ADDers often spend their lives struggling to meet others’ expectations without ever exploring their own. If you commit to getting more organized this year, make sure that you are doing it because you want to, and not because others criticize you for your individual way of doing things.
