210 foods that produce quick weight loss!!

Are you obssessed with being thin? I know I am
I’m just not going the annorexia root like some celebs do.
I love food too much and guess what else? Being annorexic
is just NOT healthy.I love water pills because they get rid of water weight. I got to get a scale to check my weight too. I left mine
when I came back to South Carolina to attend school.

But enough about water weight…..These are some foods
that help people lose weight quickly. It’s not all fruits and
veggies. If it were I would be discouraged. I remember
one day eating fruits and salads all day and nothing else.
Then the next day I went to do my boxing, I noticed
that I lacked energy. I was missing meat and filling foods.
It was a boring meal plan for a day. I can’t believe I did it.
If I had to eat like this everyday, everyday would be boring.
Even if nothing interesting happens in my day, if I have something
tasty to eat, the day is worth it. But ofcourse, having God in
my life makes it worth it too. God comes first.

But yes, all fruits and veggies and no other variety would be
a dreaded day.

WHen people say get your carbs in to lose weight, they mean
specific types of carbs, not the regular white bread and regular
bread sticks we LOVE so dang on much!

Get carbs =

Fruits/veggies
Oatmeal
Plain popcorn-lightly salted
Brown rice
Wild rice
potatoes
Wheat breads
Granary Breads
Wheat Bagel

Veggies:
String beans
Green Beans
Cabbage
Kidney beans

Protein foods:

Tuna, tuna in water I hear is better healthwise
Unsalted cashews
unsalted peanuts
Lean cuts of meat

Spices:

Hot peppers
Jalapeno Peppers

Just follow the list for fast weight loss…there’s more fast
weight loss foods at the site….Those are only a few I typed.

Also you can get a free weight loss dvd. I love this site so much.
It makes everything easy for you and tells you toning excercises
as well. Adrian Bryant is the man who answers your weight loss
questions, so if you want feedback he helps. He answered
my questions. I had multiple ones. He’ll answer your question
or direct you to the part of the site that answers it if it’s already
talked about.

There’s nothing better than a proferssional giving feedback
and looking at his body, you can see why people who want
to lose weight need to talk to him. ENjoy!

10 ways to give yourself a flat stomach!

You want that flat stomach? Well, work for it.
Let’s go! The best things are things that
require a lot of work. Getting fit is a weekly
thing. People can’t just slack.
Getting fit just like life is a sequence, it
follows a consistent pattern.

Try 10 things to put your stomach into position

You can walk/jog for 30 minutes 3 times per week to boost
your metabolism and burn fat.

-Eat a small handful of almonds, about 6 to the minimum every morning.
It is the healthiest snack you can eat. The protein will burn that fat.

Buy a Pilates DVD, which is designed to tone your entire body with
major emphasis on your middle section.

Give yourself more fiber. Eat brown rice and whole wheat
bread instead of white bread, white pastas,etc. Eat fruits and
veggies to increase fiber.

Instead of whole milk, drink skim milk. Dairy products
many times cause bloating and gas.

Do crunches about 3 times a week to train your abs.
Sit ups are not that good for the stomach.

Drink lots of water, 6-8 glasses per day. IT will
fill you up so you eat less.

It’s best not to eat 3 hours of bedtime. If you
just get so hungry, try eating a small amount
of veggies.

Eat smaller meals between hours instead of
2-3 big meals each day. Eat more meals speeds
up the metabolism. But the key word is SMALL
meals.

You can take a break from healthy eating once
in a while and treat yourself to a special dessert.
Moderation really helps.

Just think, all this time they said sit ups help the
stomach and they say it does not. We can
now claim that as a myth. And ofcourse you can
take off eating healthy, but it’s best not to do it
too much.I mean how boring would life be if
all we had was healthy foods all the time?
That’s just not natural! My body is not designed
to crave only healthy foods!

I’ve gotten more toned than before doing taebo and eating fruits and veggies! Part 2, of taebos effects!

Personally I’m a boxer at heart. I boxed a good amount in the
video but I usually box harder. I really box hard to the most
interesting music. So this was a quick video clip. My mom’s
camera only goes so long. I wish all cameras had great
lighting and would go for at least 10 minutes. I had to
do this outside because even though it was still day
time, it came out dark while in the house. I turn on
the lights and it still was dark. I was like , oh this is
just sickening!

So the next day was do over day! I started doing
some arm rolling to punch. THen I started to stretch.
I notice something about taebo that still has an
effect on me. I can see I got myself tighter in my
thigh areas, legs, just the whole leg!

I eat cheerios, fruits like apples, watermelon, sometimes
nutrigrain bars, then for dinner I eat a full meal, whatever
I want. It’s not the smallest meal. I may eat a whole plate
of spaghetti. THe plate is full so it’s not a tiny meal. I may
eat meatloaf and a large portion of mash potatoes with
baked beans. I get nacho belle grande with extra meat.
My point is I eat junk food everyday, just not all day!
But am I healthy? I don’t know, can I be semi healthy
with fruits and junk food? Is my blood pressure
high or low? I don’t know. I might not eat french fries
with season salt today to spike it high. I might
not be stressed today to spike it high. The point
is, even though I don’t I hope ya’ll checking your
blood pressure! People ask a professional!

I would not recommend eating a whole plate of junk food to start.
I know the best results come if you can eat veggies and baked chicken, I
know it’s better for your health than just a whole plate
of spaghetti. I only ate like that after I lost all the weight.
But still, how did I get toned eating that big plate of
spaghetti? Well, I still stick with taebo! I run, I jump,
I knee raise, I raise my leg to the side, I move my
arms and legs at the same time. I move so fast
as if I am in a face past music video relying on
my every move. I move so fast that the sweat
is taking over me. But don’t forget the fruits and
veggies help!

At one point I got thick in college,
I was so mad! I mean thick look good on some
people, but it’s not for me! That’s why I started
replacing french toast, sausage eggs with
cheerios, and fruits! I don’t even go to a gym.
I figure taebo is the easy way to lose weight.
But think fairly and weigh out the benefits
of lifting weights versus boxing alone. I just
want everyone to make educated decisions.
You can do both!

Taebo is my thing. It’s quick, easy, and
convenient. I never worked out at a gym
but taebo is more fun than what I see
people doing at the gym on tv.

And no excuses! I don’t slack! I may not get
it in everyday but I do it 4-5 times a week
or more if I’m up for it. I would recommend 7
days for those starting off for faster results.
But then once you get to maintaining stage
that would help doing 4-5 times a week.
Well, at least it works for me.

Or if you look at it like this…if you want to build
up slowly doing 4 days then getting to 7 days
or 5 days or even 6 days that’s another
helpful way. It might help to just build up.
Get an expert opinion on whether 3-4 days
is a good start for beginning to lose weight.

Let me tell you I still have a little pouch
on this stomach, not too much a little bit ya’ll!
So my diet will not make the perfect body. You
might have to modify it.

Anyways, I love taebo! And though I don’t love
fruit….I make myself eat it! I just naturally
gravitate toward it. I’m really forcing myself
to drink water! Help me Lord!

It’s not the ordinary, it’s the extraordinary features of a house that make life more convenient!

easier on life. I mean who thought about small
closets. I think the word for that is half the job.
Do the builders want half the pay? Anyways,
two bathrooms should be required at every home
that has two bedrooms. No one wants to wait
on another to finish in the bathroom.

Plenty of Black babies for you to adopt via this site!!

I love black babies. They are the cutest little babies ever.
Dark, brown, yellow, whatever shade of black you got.
They are the best looking babies. I want to see black babies
model.

I just love them so. Everyday I go out I hope to see them.
But I want to see more black people adopt black babies.
There is a need. Maybe they don’t notice because we
have the same skin color. We don’t know all the time
if they are adopted or fresh from the black woman’s
womb. Anyways,They need homes and there’s nothing
more adorable than having a black baby or adopting one.

Every time I see black babies, they make me want to
hug, hold, kiss them. They are so sweet I just cannot
get enough of seeing them.

Anyways don’t ya’ll want to adopt black babies? They need
love so they can have a happy life. So many people are blessed
to be able to make these pretty babies. Here’s your chance:

Walgreens in the laxative section. I just use it on my hair
and it works.

to put on my hair. I did not even consider trying all these
products until I wanted to take care of my hair to the fullest.

Prodigyrls is a line of black dolls with career oriented costumes inspiring black children!

Prodigyrls is a new thing…not like what I’ve ever heard
before. The name itself sounds like a success. I would love
to see a commercial of it. It sounds like something that
could form trends. People everywhere will be asking
did you get your prodigyrls dolls yet?

The reason why I love Prodigyrls is because it shows
little black girls that they are special. I mean they grow
up to be the MOST beautiful women anyways. We are
watched for our uniqueness……let that settle in your
mind. Take it and run with it like a baseball player
doing a homerun.

Prodigyrls is a line of dolls with real genuine facial
features, skin tones, hair, and has many accomplishments
along with them.

Nicole is a black doll which has brown skin and thick
curly hair. She wears pink scrubs and a white lab coat.

Janelle is a black chef doll…she is very enthusiastic about
diet and excercise.

Joy is all about justice. She has a honey colored tone and
golden brown type of wavy hair.

Denise is a black doll interested in chemistry…Why?
She wants to learn how to detangle hair. Therefore,
after months of trial and error she comes up with
a formula for the detangling problem.

The Dr. Daniela Wiggins is a black woman and
Anesthesiologist really disappointed about the lack
of quality black dolls for her daughter. So she
developed her own line of Black dolls with different
hair styles and things of that nature.

I sure I am tired of the lack of black dolls…So I really
adore that this woman did this….She is the type of
person you write about…but oh duh….Im jotting
about her in this post….

She is a true inspiration to black people, especially
black girls and black babies. OUR black people will
enjoy it!

What I particularly love about these dolls is that
they show diversity in hairstyles so that shows
them freedom to look like they look naturally.
In addition, it is more than a set of black dolls,
these dolls are dolls with stories of aspirations
and goals! Take a goal, keep a goal!

Does your child have one of these dolls already
or a black doll in general?

Top 3 African American cake designers,where one grew up designing cakes and is still presently doing so!

I love cake. I specifically love key lime pie the most. I love what kinda
pies and cookies I can get my hands on. From time to time, I have
late night cravings. It’s very rare when I give into them. But it’s a
good thing for people to own businesses, but I am happiest
when I find things black owned. It’s not enough black owned
businesses. If you find them, it’s best to highlight them
and go to them because we need all the help we can get…

If you are a sweet lover, they have sweet potato cheesecake,
which I’ve never tasted, strawberry buttercream and red velvet
also two more treats I’ve never tasted. Those are just some of
the desserts at 3 African American owned cake shops in
Brooklyn and Washington, DC.

I always wondered what New York Cheesecake is like….
I always passed it up for something else.

Anyhow, Shakoor Watson, Warren Brown, and Raven Patrick
De Sean Dennis, III come from different roads of life, which all
have showed their love of all things sweet into a full force
business.

Warren Brown says ” I was a health care lawyer, but I didn’t totally
enjoy it. “My passion is really for food and I began baking at home
after work.”

Cake Man Raven spent a lot of his time in South Carolina, decorating
cakes a child. “My parents sent me to my grandmother’s he said.
That’s when he began helping out in the kichen.

Just like the others, Shakoor Watson accumulated some cooking
skills during his earlier days. “As the youngest, son, I was always
around my mom cooking, Waston said. “I learned a lot of my crafts
under my mother’s wing.”

Running a cake shop is something that the 3 men put their hearts
into. This is especially for Watson, who opened up his bakery
after a few years in prison for drugs and crime. ‘I made up my
mind I’m going to change my life” said Waston. “I wanted to
come out of prison running, not walking.”

After turning his life around, Watson opened up a storefront in Brooklyn’s
Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, the same area he used to
hustle in.

In a second part of Brooklyn, Cake Man Raven’s fresh red velvets are a
favorite in his Fort Greene neighborhood and beyond.

Washington, D.C. is the foundation to Brown’s first Cakelove shop,
which is located on U Street, historically a cultural center
for the African American community.

Cakelove has branched out like trees to 6 locations in DC, Maryland,
and Virginia. His success though was not instant. “It took a lot of
time, Brown said. “I was juggling lots of things in between
filling orders, keeping the business running, tryinig to write
a business plan and get financing.”

When Cakeman Raven was in the 6th grade, he sold his first 2
coconut pies to his elementary school teacher for just $5
each. When he was a kid, he really impressed judges with
his talents at cake shows and competitions.

Each shop has something it’s specifically known for.
CakeMan Raven thought has become known for his red velvet,
which came to be in the south during the Civil War Era. “The ladies
used to keep their men home by cooking the red velvet cake,
he confessed.

Watson’s specialty is the sweet potato cheesecake. He blended
her recipe of cheesecake, sweet potato butter pound cake,
sweet potato dream cake, which is made of a sweet potato
layer cake with cream cheese frosting, roasting pecans and
almonds” he stated.
‘
Okay folks, how do you like your cakes and pies?
