Glamour magazine did a photoshoot with a bunch of young stars posing as American
Icons, and for the most part, it's pretty good, but probably the standout pictures are of
Lindsay Lohan as Madonna. Really, only because they are the only ones with any
cleavage, and also, they have Lindsay posing in Madonna's 1984 outfit, when she was
actually sexy.The other pictures include Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter, Chanel
Iman as Althea Gibson, Hayden Panettiere as Amelia Earhart, Emma Roberts as Audrey
Hepburn, Camilla Belle as Mary Tyler Moore, Emma Stone as Carrie Bradshaw, Elisha
Cuthbert as Brandi Chastain, America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta, Alicia Keys as First
Lady Michelle Obama, Paula Patton as Billie Holiday, and Odette Yustman, Spencer
Grammer, & Rumer Willis as The Women of Woodstock

Lose weight slowly with small changes
Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is
important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is
coming from water and muscle, not fat. Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our
metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories
we can each day without gaining weight. Fat loss is best achieved when weight is
lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 1-2 pounds per week. One
pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories. By making small changes like
eliminating 250 calories a day from food and expending 250 calories a day from
exercise, you can lose one pound (of mostly fat) per week.
Eating slowly can lead to weight loss
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food?
Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the
time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of
fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20
minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before
you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat.
Best weight loss plan: substitute foods instead of eliminating them
Although many people feel that “diet” or “reduced fat” foods are not as good as the
original, it can be a big help to buy less fatty snack foods. Try out different reduced
fat brands and items and who knows, you may find something that you like even
better than the original. The key is making sustainable changes - if you can't live
without tortilla chips, trying to eliminate them entirely from your diet won't work.
Making the change to a lower-calorie reduced fat tortilla chip can make a noticeable
change in total calories consumed over time.
Gradual changes are best for losing weight
Gradually ease into your diet if possible. Many diet programs allow you to do this.
Remember that small changes are easier to stick with than drastic ones. Start by
always leaving a little extra on your plate, or drinking water instead of soda. Smaller
changes are also more likely to remain with you when the duration of your diet is
complete. Aim for behavior-change goals that you know you will be able to maintain
over years, not just weeks
Try not to banish certain foods when dieting
Don't tell yourself that you can NEVER have something again because you will
immediately crave it. People need to eat fats to be healthy as well, just make sure
that you're eating them in moderation, and maybe try to balance out a fatty food you
ate earlier in the day by choosing celery sticks over chips for your snack. Try to get
yourself to think, “I know I CAN have it, but should I have it?”
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
BMR [kcal]
Body Weight [lb] x 15 + (moderate activity [mins/day] x 3.5)
Since you wish to lose weight, your target = BMR - 500 kcal
For instance, you weigh 140 lb and you perform 20 mins of moderate activity every
day. BMR of this example = (140 x 15) + (20 x 3.5) = 2100 + 70 = 2170 kcal. BMR minus
500kcal; it would be 2170 - 500 = 1670 kcal. Therefore 1670 kcal is the target in this
example to losing 1 lb per week.
Watch for Portion Size
One serving of pasta means 1/2 cup of cooked pasta. However, most restaurants
serve a pasta dish with 4 servings of pasta!!! You do not need to finish and clean off
the plate every time. You can simply ask to take home the leftover.
Keep a food journal
Keeping a food journal helps you pin point your eating pattern and will enable you to
easily modify it. If possible, have your Registered Dietitian review your journal.
Take Control of What You Eat
There are few things that we have complete control over, but what we put in our
mouths is one of them. We don't have to lose control in a restaurant or a friend's
home, and we don't have to eat everything that's put in front of us.
Consider this: We love fat because it carries flavor, and restaurants aren't as
interested in whether we'll be around in 30 years as whether we'll be back next
week. And what about our friends?
Eat More Fruits, Vegetables and Whole Grains
People who eat healthy, mostly unprocessed foods, including fruit, vegetables,
whole grains, legumes, and limited amounts of lean animal protein, often find that
they can eat as much as they want without gaining weight. If they are switching from
a diet containing lots of processed foods, they find that they can eat more yet
consume fewer calories -- and they lose weight.
Historically, the Chinese ate mostly rice and vegetables with a little lean meat for
protein and flavor, nothing like the American Chinese restaurant dishes of deep
fried sweet and sour pork. A step back to more natural foods would improve our
health and waistlines.
Cut Down on Sugar
Be careful about sugar in coffee and soda pop. It can add up quickly, and these
drinks aren't filling.
Watch for "hidden" sugar in processed foods like bread, ketchup, salad dressing,
canned fruit, applesauce, peanut butter, and soups. And be careful with "fat-free"
products. Sugar is often used to replace the flavor that is lost when the fat is
removed. Fat-free does not mean calorie-free.
The greater concern with the insulin spike (above) is not that it tells our body to
start storing fat. Whatever we eat and don't burn up eventually gets turned into fat
anyway.
The greater concern is that the insulin spike is followed by a drop in insulin level
that leaves us feeling tired and hungry and wanting to eat more. The unfortunate
result of this scenario is that it makes us want to eat something else with a high
sugar content. When we do, we start the cycle all over again.
Regulating your blood sugar level is the most effective way to maintain your fat-
burning capacity.
