Z-Trim - Saves Fat & Provides Fiber

There are many things you can do to reduce the fat content in foods. Replacing some of the oil with applesauce is one. Z-Trim is a fiber product, derived from the hulls of corn, oats, soy, rice and barley. It starts as a powder and when mixed with water turns into a creamy texture that can then be used in foods to replace some of the oil or other fat.

Now, at first glance this may not sound like such a yummy thing, but keep an open mind. This is a good idea, not to mention that it allows you to get more fiber in your diet. If you regularly eat grains, fruits, and vegetables, you may get enough fiber already, but otherwise, forget it. I'm taking Bios Life Complete two or more times a day for exactly that reason (plus it reduces cholesterol and stabilizes blood sugar) but it's not meant for cooking.

Z-trim is being marketed primarily to big food manufacturers, but us little folk can try it too.

Luckily the good folks at Z-Trim provided this handy conversion chart of how much Z-trim to use in a recipe so you can experiment.

Their website states, "Z-Trim lets you to eat more of the foods you love without fear of weight gain and allows you to lose weight without giving up the foods you love." Okay, now here's where their advice goes all wrong. Don't ever think you can eat MORE just because you've reduced fat or calories or whatnot. That thinking is why people don't lose weight from calorie reduced products.

Don't eat more. Just eat the same amount you'd have eaten regularly and then the reduced calories or fat (or both) will be to your benefit. Out of an abundence of paranoia, I saved a PDF version of Z-Trim's conversion page.

Hypnosis in One Day, Or Money Back

I saw an ad in the paper for a one-day hypnosis workshop. It said, "If you don't lose weight, we'll return your money at the end of the workshop."

Okay, so how are you supposed to know if you lost weight when you've not been given a chance to go out in the real world and actually lose some? That's just ridiculous. Stop smoking in one session, sure, but lose weight in one session? Not likely.

Weight loss pills and potions aren't going anyway, but they are sure getting bolder. Plus, and here's the kicker. No one can guarantee you'll get a result--since you must do the work. I can teach, but I can't make anyone put what they learn to use. Only you can do that.

That's why the decision to change comes first. Remember the W.H.A.C.K approach in my book, Changing Beliefs, Your First Steps to Permanent Weight Loss? "W" is for Want. You must WANT to change more than not change. When you reach the point that you not only Want to change but you Must change, then you're ready.

Get my free weight loss E-book, Changing Beliefs and see if you're ready for permanent weight loss.

What is Canadian Food?

My friend asks, "There's Mexican food, Chinese food, and even Mongolian food but what's Canada got except bacon?"

So, let's hear from Canadians: What's on the menu up north?

The Well Duh! Report

Just about everything I read in research journals and in the news makes me say, my "Well, duh!" Henceforth I'll be providing my "Well Duh! Report."

To think of the millions of dollars wasted on researchers going back and forth with these gems:

1. Dark chocolate is good for you. That's good to know but why is it some say dark chocolate is good, but yet others say apples are bad? Whatever happened to common sense? The truth is, dark chocolate in its natural state is good, i.e. no added sugar. Turn it into a confection and you've got a different animal.

For fun, go to or hold your own chocolate tasting party. Chocolate lovers are just as discriminating as wine experts.

Learn more about chocolate at the Chocophile blog, check out EGullet for tips on getting a chocolate tasting kit, and drop by SeventyPercent to learn all about chocolate.

Naturally all that reading about chocolate might make you a bit hungry, so don't forgot the EFT. EFT helps you learn to eat chocolate like a pro! I love chocolate and have it frequently, but I rarely eat a whole bag of anything and one or two pieces (depending on size) is just about perfect.
