A week in and over 50,000 steps later I am down about a full pound. Nothing earth shattering but not bad for the middle of winter when we are all tempted to continue our holiday habits of food and wine to pass the time. Meals out continues to be a challenge, ordering a salad followed by an vegetable side is a reasonable approach without making my diet the center of the conversation, Americans have been come obsessed with food allergies and intolerances, it is unclear how much of this phenomenon is real and how much is imagined. What is clear is that we can't get away with eating the fatty over processed foods we did in our youth and expect to feel well and fit. There is growing evidence that artificial sweeteners are as big a factor in obesity as sugary sodas, water or unsweetened tea are far healthier. Larry Summers lost 30 pounds when he gave up diet coke, seems that stuff just makes you hungry.The sun is out so I am going to try to get in an hour walk, the Blizzard of 2015 has been more of an annoyance than a disaster, lets see what the rest of the week brings.
