BEHOLD!!! The Apple News Network… Digg.com
Title says it all… so does the pic.. click for full size..
HEHEHE!! Some jokes just write themselves!
A freakin hoodia patch !?!?!?!? That sounds super healthy!
Ugh… I hate fat loss / diet companies, all they do is deceive the public and misinform. You cannot just eat less and lose weight. As a matter of fact if you eat too little your metabolism slows. The best way to lose weight is to find a ballanced caloric intake, and do some sort of exercise. I am thinking about posting a plan here later. Maybe I will but this is just effing ridiculous!
On a personal note, I am now at 11% Bodyfat, 1 to 2 % off my goal which was 9 to 10 !!
Good meal replacement !
So I was debating writing this for two reasons, a) I have to critique someone’s product and b) no one may give a shiznit, but here goes…
Lately I have been a fitness nut, I started working out about 3 months ago and in that time I have managed to lose a significant amount of body fat, about 9%, down to 15% ( again not bragging, this is the part where no one may give a shit ). At any rate, throughout my 3 month endeavour I have read, and read and read some more about eating, diets, and fitness. I have posted some links to my blog and so on.
The problem that I am running into at the moment is that a) I am close to my goal 10% BF… well closer … and b) I am getting sick of what I was eating. So I have gotten creative. I haven’t had this meal since it is actually quite “fatty” for what my intake needs to be at the mooment, however it is a way better alternative than the mainstream. So with that being said, what is the main stream?
Steak and Shake:
Classic Double, with Fries and a Shake + Side Salad
Now before I say that Steak N Shake is horrible, let me say this, they are way better than some other places and actually post nutrition facts online. So props to them. Here are the nutrition facts for that meal::
The Original Double With Cheese Meal:
| Food | Calories | Protein(g) | Carbs(g) | Fat(g) | Saturated Fat(g) |
| Original Double with Cheese | 580 | 32 | 29 | 38 | 16 |
| French Fries, regular | 472 | 4 | 62 | 23 | 5.5 |
| Strawberry, large 1 shake | 806 | 23 | 124 | 27 | 17.5 |
| Deluxe Garden Salad 1 portion | 226 | 13 | 10 | 15 | 9 |
| Grand Total | 2084 | 72 | 224 | 103 | 48 |
Thaaat’s right folks! 2084 calories… one days intake, not to mention that its almost half fat! So what can you do to get the same taste and fewer calories? Magic? Not eat anything? Wrong!
1. Use a ground turkey patty instead of ground beef. I prefer Jenny-O’s products.
2. Use Whole Wheat Bread instead of white.
3. Use a fat free cheese, look for the Kraft brand fat free American Cheese, or shredded.
4. Grill your potatoes, instead of frying them
5. Replace the shake with a Protein Shake, mixed in Fat Free Milk.
6. Replace the Ranch dressing on the salad with Fat Free Ranch.
So say we did that what would our meal look like?
| Food | Calories | Protein(g) | Carbs(g) | Fat(g) | Saturated Fat(g) |
| Double Turkey Burger | 485 | 50 | 29 | 19 | 5 |
| Grilled Potatoes | 118 | 2.5 | 27 | 0 | 0 |
| Fat Free Milk (10oz) + Whey Protein | 223 | 30 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
| Salad with Fat Free Ranch | 64 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Grand Total | 890 | 84.5 | 63 | 21 | 6 |
So… half the calories, and 5 times less fat, meaning that you get your calories from stuff that actually feeds your body! Tastes the same too !
Now, 809 calories in one meal is still kind of high but its still better that 2084. So if you are on a 2000 calorie diet you need a dinner to match that lunch, and a 400 calorie breakfast ( milk and cereal ) … Badabing, weight loss…. if you add at least 30 minutes of some kind of activity you are now on your way!!!
Want fewer calories yet? Here’s what you do:
1. Remove a turkey patty, leave just one on the burger.
2. Mix the Whey Powder in water.
That will shave 273 calories, 9g or 81 fat calories. Mess around, scroll down, read the stuff I linked to and exercise, the benefits are amazing !!

Did the judge make the right call by sending Paris Hilton back to jail? * 141632 responses
Yes, she should do her time like everyone else. 94%
No, the judge is being unnecessarily hard on the heiress. 5.6%
Yes, but she should be able to serve her time in a nicer facility. 0.8%

That being said, 23 hour lockdown for 45 days does seem kinda harsh… then again… DON’T BREAK THE LAW !!!!
AHAHAHHAHA

“LOS ANGELES – Paris Hilton was taken from a courtroom screaming and crying on Friday after a judge ordered her returned to jail to serve out her entire 45-day sentence for a parole violation in a reckless driving case.”
Now normally I don’t like to revel in other peoples misery… buuut ! That biznotch deserves it ! I was really sad when I heard she got released, this news makes puts a big sh1t eating grin on my face 
Days like today…
Man, talk about a bad day for a workout. I hate it when I get home and I crash till like 6:30, it is so hard to get myself out to the gym. I was uber tired today and did not feel well to boot, but I got my crap together and went to the gym.
As I was driving I was fighting the urge to just turn around and go home, but I know that if I do that and miss just one day it will spiral into missing the rest of the days, and it will just spawn into lazyness. That is how the end of every workout program comes along… you miss a day. Granted I skipped a week because of my honeymoon, but that’s ok as long as you get right back in the saddle. Anyway, point is that I wish I could sleep normal and not be so damn tired after work. It seems that after my workout I am uber energetic… why cant I have that prior?!?!
I didn’t start typing this up just to piss and moan, the point is that everyone feels lothargic at some point but just getting up and doing what you set out to do is what counts. I feel 100% better after the first 10 minutes of my workout, and knowing that gets my ace there for the whole hour and a half. That and I’ve lost 17lbs over the last 10 weeks. 15% body fat baby !! I will hopefully hit my goal within another month or 2, 10% BF.
