Losing weight is a mind game

If you are interested in losing weight -- and who isn't -- read this.

This book by Gary Taubes argues that we gain weight by eating too many carbs. OK, fine, but if you are a diabetic who is on insulin you've got to eat carbs and count your carbs. If you take a diabetic food course, that's what they teach you. Fifteen carbs is equal to one unit of insulin. A man needs about 60 grams of carbs per meal, women about 45.

Losing weight is no secret. You've got to exercise more and eat less, lol. Of course that's hard, and it's hard to stay with it. But the secret to that is to make up your mind. I mean really make up your mind that that's what you want to do. It's a mind game.

Somebody alert the MSM

Rasmussen: Democratic party affiliation at an all-time low.
We are now reaching the point in which the president is running a truly post-modern campaign, in which there is no objective truth but simply narrative. Obama’s campaign isn’t simply distorting the facts; it is inverting them. This kind of thing isn’t unusual to find in the academy. But to see a president and his campaign so thoroughly deconstruct truth in order to maintain power is quite rare. The sheer audacity of Obama’s cynicism is a wonder of the modern world.
