It is that time of the year as it nears its close when
people start to do the most foolish things. They start to make New Year's
resolutions. This is the year that I will be more (insert adjective of choice).
I will be kinder rarely seems to be on
that list as a casual observation, but it's that old chestnut of I will be
thinner that is driving one to drink at the moment.
Since being stuck in weight management one has noticed a few
common threads amongst all customers trying to lose weight. The trilogy seems
to be no breakfast, under eating and the belief that they have a healthy dinner
at night, when in reality it consists almost exclusively of carbs and not it
bit of protein in sight. None of them want to deal with actual food, so they
are coming in droves to pick up tubs of assorted powders...
You know a certain company, that one will not name, but has
inflicted emotional grief upon women all over the world since the 70's, might
have been owned by a company famous for baked beans and might have made its failed
weigh ins wear pig masks, but it did at least make people deal with real food.
... They buy those tubs for one simple reason; they don't want
to eat more meals, which is what their bodies actually need.
To add insult to injury so many of them turn around and say
you've lost a lot of weight lately, what have you done? To which one replies
well eaten more, a lot more. In fact one is snarfing food morning noon and
night. Their eyes glaze over and they reply oh I don't have time to eat meals,
I'd much rather have a shake.
So off they trot with their assorted pills and powders
leaving one secure in the knowledge that we are in for a boom year in the
weight management market.

Someone one time gave me a supposed weight loss shake powder. I tried it, just to see, and only had one sip before I dumped it out. I'm definitely a fan of the sausage for breakfast, bacon for lunch, grapes for snack, hamburger for dinner diet. Oh, and a little blob of mashed potatoes with goat cheese for an indulgence. If I could just keep away from the chocolate covered almonds....
Some of them are truly disgusting :(
Only a true dietary masochist could like them.
