Back to JC...not Jesus....Jenny Craig!

ok, so i counted calories and apparently my math is not as good as it used to be cause i gained 1 pound in a week. so today i made a decision, i'm gonna do jenny craig so i can lose 10 lbs before my shoot on december 11th. so i'll be blogging about my progress and of course always giving you guys recipes.

i'm also going to see my doctor tomorrow see if my hypoglycemia is the cause of my difficulty to lose weight. i know, excuses, excuses, excuses. shut your pie mouth, grace and you'll lose weight! that's what you're thinking , right? i understand. however, in my defense, i don't eat much and i'm forced to eat a lil bit every 2 hours so i can maintain my blood sugars in line.

FOOD CONSULTANT NADIA AREVALO (food.consultant@yahoo.com) SAYS:

1. Focus on quality of the food. Does it have white flour, preservatives, artificial colors, margarine, corn syrup, white sugar, pesticides? It is heavily processed by machinery? Would you find that food product in nature? If you’re eating a quality meal, take your time to chew and indulge in the complex flavors. Eat until you’re full. There’s no reason to feel guilty if you’re eating lots of organic vegetables! The more you fill your body with nutrient-dense foods, the more stable you’ll feel. And the less snacking you’ll need.

FOOD AND THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

Cranberry: Has antiseptic properties and contains benzoic and quinic acids, which reduce urinary tract infections. Excellent cleanser and skin tonic.
