What's going on here?!
This picture can be found on many sites about Diet Plans and Weight Loss Programs?
I have to admit, it's quite cool to appear in non-tg related media :-)
Guess I fooled some people... looks can be deceiving ... ;-)

The Mediterranean diet is a modern nutritional recommendation inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of Greece, Spain and Southern Italy. The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of meat and meat products.
On November 17, 2010, UNESCO recognized this diet pattern as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Italy, Greece, Spain and Morocco.
Despite its name, this diet is not typical of all Mediterranean cuisine. In Northern Italy, for instance, lard and butter are commonly used in cooking, and olive oil is reserved for dressing salads and cooked vegetables. In both North Africa and the Middle East, sheep's tail fat and rendered butter (samna) are the traditional staple fats, with some exceptions. Indeed, one researcher concludes: "It appears that currently there is insufficient material to give a proper definition of what the Mediterranean diet is or was in terms of well defined chemical compounds or even in terms of foods.... The all embracing term 'Mediterranean diet' should not be used in scientific literature...."
The most commonly understood version of the Mediterranean diet was presented, amongst others, by Dr Walter Willett of Harvard University's School of Public Health from the mid-1990s on. Based on "food patterns typical of Crete, much of the rest of Greece, and southern Italy in the early 1960s", this diet, in addition to "regular physical activity," emphasizes "abundant plant foods, fresh fruit as the typical daily dessert, olive oil as the principal source of fat, dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt), and fish and poultry consumed in low to moderate amounts, zero to four eggs consumed weekly, red meat consumed in low amounts, and wine consumed in low to moderate amounts". Total fat in this diet is 25% to 35% of calories, with saturated fat at 8% or less of calories.

Plain and simple... (I am a biochemist by training and have been fighting the flab for many years, then I listened to "over the sugar hill parts 1 & 2" by Steve Gibson and it all made sense. I lost 50Kg in 18 months) , give up sugar and carbohydrates eat about 900 calories of everything else, loose weight.
No magic, not fads, yes you are hungry (that's your body telling you that you are loosing weight). When you reach your desired weight eat a bit more but don't go back to the sugar and carbohydrates.

Osprey with prey (bird)? We were on Wolf Rd. south of 159th st when we saw a bird sitting in the corn field. Not sure what it was I did a U turn & realized it was an Osprey. At 1st we thought it might be injured. I grabbed the camera & crossed the street to avoid traffic. All of a sudden it took off with what I think is a bird in it's talon. Believing Osprey only ate fish I went on line & found out that 99% of their diet is fish but sometimes they will eat frogs,small animals & birds .

Macro Mondays theme "Good Health"
After a heart attack and 5 stents in 2009 i had fantastic care and rehab from the NHS i have now been educated and live a different life Drugs, Diet and exercise are three big changes but the biggest is not working and rural living. I have never been happier.
I wish you all good health for 2014 HMM
How to be popular: combine mentos, diet soda, kids. Step back and enjoy the admiration and awe of your five minute friends.
By "The Japanese Diet," I mean a way of getting and staying slim inspired by the Japanese lifestyle, rather than what the Japanese eat, and I'm not saying I do all these things.
Eat slowly, with smaller bites using chopsticks
Use smaller plates (Wansink, Ittersum, & Painter, 2006),
Eat a variety of things in very small portions,
Cut your slices of bread in half,
And bring your food to your eyes, so it looks big, like a bonsai tree
Enjoy eating, the taste, texture, look, variety of your food
But do not use food as a way of cheering yourself up
Try to believe that treating yourself with food is less fun than treating yourself with being thin - Kate Moss "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" is also a maxim in Japan.
Don't talk when eating, concentrate on your food
Think of food as a gift from all people who made it possible, and say an undirected "thank you" before you start your meal.
Do not drink sweet drinks, which are only for children. They contain 6-13 teaspoons of sugar
Do not drink fruit juice, which is only seemingly healthy
If you do drink fruit juice water it down by up to ten to one
Drink green tea, black coffee, wheat tea (mugi cha), or water
Do not eat sweets, which are only for children
If you do eat sweet things only in miniature, and not very sweet
Do not eat dairy products, which are for children, or hefers
Do not eat cheese which is concentrated bulking up food, not even for cattle
Eat less, more often
Eat vegetables Eat vegetables!
Always "eat" soup before your meal
Treat proteins as flavourings, for your vegetable matter, rather than as a way of filling yourself up
Remember that meats are dead animals by eating it raw and call your "beef" cow and your "pork" pig, and eat fish, or failing that chicken in preference to both.
Soy, and other beans, is the best source of protein eat lots of it in many forms (Eda beans, bean sprouts, tofu, miso, kinako ground roasted soya beans, red bean paste which is Japanese for chocolate, natto and others). The Japanese are made of soy!
Rice is better than bread
Cold rice is less calorific than hot
Exercise is better than calorie reduction
Wear clothes that fit, no baggies
Get smaller clothes as you get thinner (second hand shops help gaijin, but Japanese usually buy clothes new)
Enjoy your clothes and your appearance
Try to look at the world, by always carrying a camera.
Find ways of enjoying your body, especially as it gets thinner
Take selfies!
Look in the mirror (Nagumo, 2012)
Get naked in front of other people
Go to the pool, beach, or public baths
Do things that you could not do before, climb a mountain, run for your bus, or get a longer bicycle stem to get longer and lower when you can.
Try to improve your posture
necklaces, sit on the floor, stiff rucksacks, martial arts (see below)
Go to bed early and get up early
Exercise in the morning
See exercise as a form of worship, and your body as a temple.
Do exercises which are a repetition of set forms, ideally with others, such as yoga, aerobics or karate
This encourages you to realise what you yourself look like
Drink alcohol only with others (at parties)
or immediately before sleep, never during the day, and like sugar never as a way of cheering yourself up.
Talk, and think in a deep voice; high voices are for other people
Try not to think in words, words are for other people.
Be aware of what thoughts as words are - excuses or cake. (Nisbett and Wilson, 1977; Libet 2008, Soon, Brass, Heinze, Haynes, 2008, Kim, 2002)
Be aware of what cake is - autoaffection (Derrida, 2013)
Judge your own behaviour visually, by imagining it, or thinking about how it looks to others, from their reaction especially.
Listen to your breathing or chant a mantra
Do no criticise others, everyone is trying, nor praise yourself
Linguistic praise is something that is or should be only transitive (the only sort of self praise to allow yourself is narcissistic, in the literal sense - an enjoyment of your self imagining, photos, mirror reflection)
Do things for others, especially children
Sleep, and bathe, with your children. There is no better way of enjoying your body.
The dark side of Japanese thinness
Smoke cigarettes in moderation (and die thin)
Do not eat much of anything, shrink the size of your stomach, and die with haemorrhoids (which seem to be prevalent in Japan)

The third solar term falls around 5 March when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 345 degrees. The weather starts to get warmer and thunder of spring awakens the insects.
There is a custom of eating pears on the day of Insects Awaken. Maintain a light diet by eating food rich in plant-based protein and fresh vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, Chinese celery, chicken, egg, milk, aloe, summer radish, bitter gourd, Malabar spinach, rapeseed, Chinese yam, lotus seed and white fungus. In spring, when nature invigorates, it is better to sleep and wake up early. A leisurely walk can keep you healthy and your spirits up.

Love pizza? Keto or gluten-free diet? Or just too many calories to indulge? Cauliflower, fathead, egg "crusts" brutally harshing your pizza vibe?
I tried them all, and... ugh. That's not pizza!
Please: Allow me to rescue you with a pure pizza experience.
Note: You can also create this pizza upside down for a more traditional look. Instructions are here. The only real difference aside from the final appearance is that toppings get cooked a little more as they are right next to the heat and insulated by the cheese above.
This is a radically different pizza approach that replaces traditional bread and bread-ish crusts with a crust of mozzarella that provides both incredible flavor and the physical structure required for a slice of pizza to act like... a slice of pizza. It is easy to make and It. Tastes. Awesome. Just like pizza. How is that possible? Because there's nothing in it that shouldn't be in a pizza.
Toppings? You bet. You can use any topping you like (I had mushrooms here) or no topping if you're a purist. Of course, keep an eye on the nutrients in your toppings; the nutrient info I provide below is for a pizza with 1/8th cup mushrooms, just as shown here.
There's a cool side-effect, too. You know how with a traditional pizza, you take a bite, the cheese stretches in a hunk, then pulls away way too much cheese, leaving a sauce-only area on the slice? That's not a happy moment. Well, with the approach outlined here, that doesn't happen. Every bite is exactly what you bit off, and you control how much sauce, or not, goes with it by dipping. This is because the bottom of each slice is cooked enough to make sure that the Mozzarella doesn't fall apart. If you cook a traditional pizza with crust that way, in order to get the cheese cooked well enough, the crust will be overcooked. Severely. So this is a real win for consistency and taste.
So here's how to make one:
Ingredients:
Mozzarella: 1 and 3/4th cups for 8" pizza
Canned, cooked mushrooms: 1/8th cup
Parmesan: 2 tablespoons
Garlic powder: 1/4th teaspoon
Italian seasoning: 1/8th teaspoon
Red pepper flakes: 1/8th teaspoon (optional)
Toppings: optional, to taste, usual amounts
You'll also need:
1) An 8" frying pan with a glass lid
2) Some kind of quality spray cooking oil
3) Pizza shears (yay!) or rolling cutter
4) A surprisingly small amount of marinara sauce, or other sauce, your call
Procedure:
Begin by spraying a non-stick pan liberally with oil. This is required so that the pizza will easily come out of the pan later. Not kidding. Spray!
Add the mozzarella to the pan, spread it out evenly, shake / add parmesan across top of mozzarella, sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the two cheeses, add your preferred topping(s), if any, then cover the pan with its glass lid.
You must be able to see the pizza as it cooks, because the moment it is ready and awesome turns into the moment is is not awesome and overcooked in about 30 seconds. So you have to keep your eyes on the process. Once you get a feel for how fast the pizza cooks on your stove, you can just set a timer to remind you to start looking about a minute before it reaches its optimum state. So here we go:
Turn heat to medium, and cook until you see the edges of the pizza begin to significantly brown as shown in the image above (this usually takes about 5-8 minutes for most stovetops), remove the pan from the stove, remove lid, let sit and cool undisturbed for five minutes. This lets the cheese set up, it is a very important step.
After cooling, the pizza should move when you gently shake the pan. If not, use more spray oil next time... for this effort, you can use a spatula to carefully loosen it, but this is to be avoided if possible.
Slide off onto your serving dish, let cool for another few minutes (2-5) before cutting. To cut into traditional slices, pizza shears are highly recommended, otherwise, try a rolling pizza cutter (but shears are better, believe me.)
While the pizza is undergoing this final cooling step, if you want your dipping sauce to be warm, it should be heated so that it will be ready at the end of this step. I just microwave the marinara, takes only seconds because very little is required.
Serve with a desired sauce / dip, such as marinara, garlic butter, ranch, hot sauce, etc. Watch out for carbs here. Marinara, for instance, is relatively high. But you don't need a lot. An entire 8" mushroom pizza, including 2 tablespoons of marinara which I have found is more than enough when dipping every bite of every slice, works out to:
9.8g net carbs, (10.5g - .8g fiber)
39.5g fat
62.8g protein
640 calories
The mushrooms are about .3 carbs in total; subtract for no mushrooms.
For am 8" pizza cut into 8 slices (as per tradition), the numbers per slice are:
1.22g net carbs
4.93g fat
7.85g protein
80 calories
For one slice, the mushrooms account for .037 carbs... so for a pizza without, subtract that per slice.
Remember to account for the nutrient values for other toppings if you use them.
Once it's served, you'll be able to pick up the slices just as you would a regular pizza. You can even fold them traditionally! Much of the flavor of a pizza comes from the browned mozzarella, and the bottom of this pizza brings that to your taste buds with bells on. Dip the slice into the sauce of your choice, close your eyes, and bite into that puppy. Surprise! Tastes just like pizza. Because it is pizza.
You can also scale up the recipe for larger pizzas; the process is just the same. Here are some common scaling factors:
10": increase 8" ingredients by 1.5 times
12": increase 8" ingredients by 2.25 times
14": increase 8" ingredients by 3 times
16": increase 8" ingredients by 4 times
...and of course, use the appropriate size pan.
Enjoy!

I joined the 100 strangers group a few weeks ago and at long last I plucked up enough courage to stop someone in the street and ask to take their photograph. Whether it was judgement, luck or good fortune I don't know, but Dieter not only agreed to let me intrude into his lunch break but spent 10 minutes chatting to me about his life and making me feel totally at ease in this very strange situation.
When I checked the spelling of his name he asked if I hadn't detected his German accent - Dieter came to the UK 41 years ago, not much accent left from what I could tell. His lip piercings are quite new and he is still toying with them with his tongue but is sure he will get more comfortable with them over time - just like his nipple piercings. He's off to see Stiff Little Fingers tonight - going to gigs is one of his favourite pastimes.
Thank you Dieter for allowing me the time for our brief chat, participating in this project, and allowing a very nervous amateur photographer to relax. get in touch if you want to see the rest of the shots I took
This picture is #01 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
Well, I decided to take a day break from my doll diet because a global disaster happened and I can fill the void inside me with material goods. At Savers I saw several dolls I potentially did want but I decided to just get this My Scene Hudson cuz I remember him being trapped in the glass cabinet for $50 for the last 4 months but I guess Savers decided that they needed more space for other worthless treasures lol.
I remember buying one of him brand new 11 years ago and promptly losing all of his accessories and stuff but my nostalgia went through the roof holdng the box in my hands. I mainly bought him for his clothes but I’ll probably harvest his body for parts.
Also shoutout to that portable DVD player cuz it’s absolutely obsolete technology lol.
I also bought another $15 Jasper cuz I need more Ken clothes and Ken fashion packs are $10 and look much uglier than just buying the whole thing. I may reroot Jasper with white hair….
And shoutout to @dolldirt for pointing out on eBay there’s this high quality Indian outfit for Ken that’s fully lined and snaps together for under $5. I bought it when Chris linked me to it and it came today and I might get around to customizing a childhood Blaine doll to be an Indian man to go with my Indian Barbie.
And the other dress I bought from the same seller cuz it looked cute and fits my Francie well.
