What’s planned for this week’s Biggest Loser?

Hi Everybody!
This week on The Biggest Loser, the players learn how to order “take out” food because they are denied kitchen privileges all week. A week seems like a long time not to have kitchen privileges. I wonder if they have to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner “take out”? We’ll see on Tuesday.

Here’s hoping everyone has a great, healthful week. Some tips to consider:

***If you drink 16 oz. of water before each meal, experts say you will lose an additional 4 1/2 pounds in a three month period. Why? I guess it’s pretty obvious, the water makes you feel full and keeps you from overeating.

***Flaxseed is high in Omega-3 fats. Studies show that omega-3 fats help your body burn more calories and trigger hormones in your stomach that make you feel full longer. Grind up flaxseed and sprinkle it on your cereal or yogurt.

***Sniffing coffee beans can curb your urge to eat.

***A study shows that a woman will eat less and therefore consume fewer calories when she dines with a man than when she dines with her girlfriends. It didn’t say if this worked for men eating with women compared to going out with the guys, but I bet it does. After all when guys go out, they have a tendency to eat junk food and drink beer!

***Finally, a reality check on those fast food favorites. It would not be good if the Biggest Loser contestants chose to order these! A Coldstone Creamery Gotta Have It Peanut Butter and Chocolate shake has an incredible 2010 calories! A Caramel Pecanbun from Cinnabon (yummy–oops sorry!) has 1092 calories. The Smoothie King’s 20 oz. Hulk Strawberry Smoothie is good for you right? After all it’s loaded with healthy strawberries. But, it’s also loaded with 1044 calories! A Dunkin Donuts Coffee Cake Muffin comes in as the light weight but still has 620 calories! You would have to hike for about two hours straight to burn that many calories.

Hope the tips help! I’ll be back with your recap on Wednesday morning. Stay tuned…Bloggergal1
