Very very very cute !! May you live to a ripe old age. God Bless.
To me, a sense of humor and a jolly personality will extend your life.
Often we get mixed messages from all these fitness guru's out there.
Bob Harper, known for his work on the Biggest Loser, used to exclaim how his switch to the vegan diet plus his love of animals, etc. was the way to go.
I recently read his newest book on my Kindle..........
I was suprised to read he's now advocating protein and things he had not allowed prior...........again, mixed messages........although he does mention free range chickens and such.........lots of fish, etc.
We watched that Tarpon Springs Florida young man lose all the weight, down from 480 or so, down to the high 200's........a few days ago.
Other than the first segment showing him with a nutritionist that Bob Harper had chosen........they never really showed exactly what he ate every day for the ONE YEAR.............other than showing the extreme exercise of pushing or pulling that "sled"; I worried he would get a heart attack. Terrible. He should have been allowed to lose some of the weight first before exercising like that....of course,he was young.
Then, to have all that skin cut off.......
Getting back to Bob Harper.........
The new kindle book.....was quite different than his viewpoints in the past. It was still heavy on healthy foods, but he added back the fish and meat..........so I guess his life of being a vegan is over???????
He had interesting segments on which foods aggravate inflammation in the body (arthritis, etc.)
However, if you go to his OLD fitness articles, he is totally vegan.
Wonder why he now is on the meat bandwagon?

THE LAST DIET BOOK YOU’LL EVER NEED
With so much conflicting weight-loss advice out there to confuse your efforts, it’s no wonder you haven’t been successful losing weight and keeping it off. But with Bob Harper, superstar trainer and co-host of NBC’s hit show
The Biggest Loser as your personal authority and coach, you can and will finally shed the pounds—whether you want to lose two or two hundred!
Distilling Bob’s vast knowledge of nutrition, weight-loss strategy, and human nature down to twenty simple, nonnegotiable principles,
The Skinny Rules will help you step away from a reliance on processed foods and the need for so much sweet and salt and step into a newly thin lifestyle. And Bob’s methods couldn’t be more straightforward.
Taking the guesswork out of implementing the Skinny Rules
, Bob offers a month’s worth of menu plans and more than 90 delicious, rule-abiding recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to keep you cooking and eating skinny for life. You’ll be happily astounded to see the variety and volume of the tasty food on your plate! He also includes terrific tips for what to stock in your fridge and what to prepare every weekend in order to set yourself up for success during your too-busy-to-cook weekdays.
A virtual GPS to your weight-loss goals,
The Skinny Rules takes the mystery out of the process, offering the fastest route to your skinny destination.
LOSING WEIGHT IS NOW AS SIMPLE AS 1-2-3 . . . AND 3-15-18-20 TOO!
Rule #3: Eat protein at every meal, making some kind of fish your go-to protein as often as you can. Take your weight and divide it by two—that’s more or less how much protein you should be eating in grams every day.
Rule #15: Eat at least ten meals a week at home (and cook them yourself). Restaurant portions are usually 40 to 50 percent bigger than what you’d serve at home—the more you eat out, the more you overeat. Set yourself up for success by preparing my turkey meatballs, hummus, and roasted vegetables on the weekend so that you will have go-to staples and no excuses!
Rule #18: Go to bed slightly hungry. Denied fuel for more than five hours, your body will start burning its own fat and sugar. Make a point not to eat after dinner and you’ll be burning fat while you’re sleeping.
Rule #20: Enjoy a splurge meal once a week. Unlike episodic bingeing, splurge meals are an ingredient in your diet. When you plan something, you are in control.
