Information about the book :
Are you sick of losing weight only to re-gain it later? If your answer is yes, then the "You Only Better" Weight Management Program, a 100 page book written by Missi Johnson, an Independent Certified Weight Loss Counselor, is the last book you will ever need.
This book includes Missi's before and after photos, along with her personal story about her struggles with weight.
Her message is that you can lose weight the sensible way.
You don't have to count carbohydrates, points, eliminate food groups, eat wierd quantities of the same foods, or starve yourself!
Missi is an everyday person, who has never had access to special mail-delivered foods or personal trainers, & she is not a fanatic who is trying to get you to buy into the "hype' of another fly-by-night fad diet.
This is a simple weight loss and weight loss maintenance program designed for men and women who are fed up with frittering away their time & money on classes, mail-order foods & weight loss drugs.
In this book you will find: guidelines for better eating habits, information on how to determine your nutritional needs, comprehensive "exchange lists" to help you eat a balanced diet, tips on how to eat healthy when you live with others who don't want to, information on how to determine your protein and carbohydrate needs, information on how to determine if your diet of choice is healthful, information on how to develop a healthier attitute, links and references to other weight loss and nutrition sites, books, & sources, and 45 easy recipes that involve economical and nutritious foods that can be purchased anywhere.
Missi is an Independent Certified Weight Loss Counselor, not a health care professional.
Her goal is to simply share information with you and provide references that will help you on your weight loss journey.
Before embarking on a weight loss program, you should always discuss the program with your doctor.
excerpts from the book :
"1. Check your mind set daily. Weight loss is not about looks- so leave the “look-ist” attitude behind.
Weight loss is a pleasant by-product of eating a balanced diet, and taking good care of yourself. This is not a race. This is not a competition.
You are not doing this to please others, you are doing this to please yourself.
This is a self-improvement program geared towards longevity and improved quality of life."
sample RECIPE from the book:
Steak on a Stick
[serves 4 - makes 8 pcs. / 2 sticks per person]
You will need: 1 pound trimmed eye of round steak, that has been cut into 8 thin slices [800 calories] , ½ cup cider vinegar [16 cal], ¼ cup soy sauce [40 cal], ¼ cup honey [260 cal], 2 tablespoons brown sugar [30 cal], 1 tbsp. finely chopped FRESH ginger, 2 cloves finely chopped FRESH garlic, ½ cup pineapple juice [65 cal] 1 tbsp. oil [120 cal] & cooking spray & ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
Directions: soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for atleast 30 minutes. Mix vinegar, pepper flakes, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and pineapple juice. Cut each of the 8 steaks in half . Thread 2 halves of steak onto each stick. Place them in a baking dish. Pour marinade over steaks and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Strain marinade into a sauce pan. Place marinated steaks into oven and bake until done turning once. Bring strained marinade to a boil and reduce heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens. Use a tablespoon and divide sauce evenly into 4 different sauce cups. Place 2 skewers onto each plate.
Calorie count:
4 oz. eye of round steak [2 skewers] = 200 calories
Sauce 531 calories divided by 4 servings = 133 calories per person
total: 333 calories for 2 skewers of steak and 1 serving of sauce
suggestion: Serve with baked potato or rice and a side salad
[[ If using trimmed flank steak add 50 calories ]]
Excerpt from the book:
"Weebles & Statues
While people who try to be like a statue may not be guilty of overindulgence which causes health problems related to chronic obesity, some of them unfortunately have "broken down and/or eroded" health as a result of lack of nourishment.
This may not be visible to the naked eye for many years, but eventually, if they live long enough to suffer the consequences, the damage will become evident, just as it is evident in the health problems of the chronically obese person.
The moral: in order to stand the test of time and to remain intact, and all in one piece for as long as possible, it's important to be built from more flexible materials which means people should seek BALANCE, by thinking positively, and working to improve nutrition and exercise habits.
Now I'm going to paraphrase from Dr. Andrew Weil's CD collection titled: "Guide To
Optimum Health-Strategies for Eating Well, Staying Fit, and Living In Balance-Taking Care Of Yourself."
The point I am wanting to make, is, that in order to achieve good nutritional status and be successful at weight management - you have develop the bounce-back quality of a "Weeble."
Remember the song about the children's toy called "The Weeble?"
It went a little something like this: "Weebles wobble -but they don't fall down!"
Now, think of an "earthquake simulator" AKA a "shake table".
Which is more likely to suffer damage during an "earthquake" on a "shake table"- the Weeble, or the statue?
I think after a moment of thought, you will agree that the Weeble has a better chance of suffering the least damage.
The reason I make this point is because the earthquakes of life will certainly come along, and your inner balance from time to time will be threatened. "
