Marines Love The Guy From Boston

Joe Ligotti Tells It To The MarinesA Voice For Marines And Their Fellow Americans

While United States Marines protect our country's interests abroad and quietly agonize over how the politicians run the wars in Iraq and Afghanistanon, Big Joe Ligotti ,The Guy From Boston, has the freedom and the balls to "tell it to the marines" and everyone else, right here in America. Admittedly, his style is unique. But make no mistake, the guy is a patriot. You may be offended by his delivery, language, intensity or just his opinions but you have to admit that what he says is worth listening to.

The liberal minded and politically correct crowd have managed to let the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many and have succeeded in making this country a laughing stock. I just found out a friend of mine was deported from Australia – his crime? Overstaying his visa! He was tracked down and invited to leave the country within two days. This is a WASPY kinda guy that couldn't be confused with a terrorist no matter how many towels he wrapped around his head. Why aren't we protecting ourselves like the Australians do? Why are our police and courts accused of violating the U.S. Constitution when they try to enforce the laws? How is it considered unconstitutional to ask people to leave who are in this country illegally, as far as I know, they are entitled to no rights, yet they buy and sell here, they live and work here and they commit crimes here. Don't get me started, Joe does it a lot better than I ever could.

Listen to what Joe says here about our immigration problem – we need more Joe Ligotti's in places like our House and Senate. Where is the anger?, where is the outrage?, Joe can't do this all by himself, we need thousands of Joes to stand up and scream we aint going to take this anymore.

Keeping A Food Diary

New Study Shows Dieters Can Double Their Weight Loss

By keeping track of what you eat with a food diary you can lose double the weight in the same period of time than if you didn't keep a food diary. I thought this was a another gimmick until I tried it. And you know, if you are honest about it and write down everything you eat, you will be more motivated and less tempted to stray. You will be amazed at how motivating this can be.  I've tried it and it makes a huge difference. That donut or that piece of pie you ate (just this once) looks pretty bad on paper.

a food diary will help you identify eating habitsIdentifying Eating Habits That Need Modification

A food diary will also help you identify eating habits that need to be modified. Most people only have a general idea of what they eat and a selective memory about the bad things (that donut for example) that can derail any diet. Keeping a detailed food diary will help you see where the extra calories are coming from.  A new study published in the August issue of American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that participants in the six month study who kept a food journal six or seven days a week lost an average of 18 lbs compared with an average of 9 lb lost by non-diary keepers.

Keep A Food Diary And Exercise

Keeping a food diary is a great tool for weight loss but it's best to do it in conjunction with a regular exercise regimen. Even if it's just a short walk every day you will find that losing weight can help with high blood pressure, reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Even just a few pounds lost will help ease the strain on your joints, your energy level will improve and you just might sleep better too!

A Food Diary Is All About Accountabilty

Not only should you be honest about writing down everthing you eat but you should show it to someone like a wife or a husband. You may have been thinking about eating that donut, that just this once it won't hurt, but you don't want it to show up on the food diary at the end of the day. And, before you know it, you have lost weight!

Eat healthy and good tasting fats to lose weight!

Healthful fats can lower bad-cholesterol levels because the body uses fat, not just carbohydrates to create energy while, at the same time, regulating blood pressure and heart rate. In other words; good fat burns body fat! Sounds crazy I know but I swear it works. Foods like monounsaturated fats; olive oil, avocados, most nuts and fish oil are some of natures finest and most healthy fats. Incorporate polyunsaturated fats like soybeans, whole grain wheat and vegetable oils, including corn, saffron and sunflower into your diet and you are off and running. (more…)
