There is no great secret to lose weight. Small portions, healthy delicious meals and daily physical activity, in other words: avoid sedentarism.
We all know that, right? But many people want that «miracle» diet that is going to make us lose a ton of pounds/kilograms in 5 or 10 days and never gain it -the weight- back!
So, to have some fun, I have searched on the web for some crazy diets that people do. Some of them are really outrageously funny!
NOTE:I advice you NOT to follow any of these diets. I do not recommend them since they are not healthy and do not follow serious medical protocol research. This post is just for our Friday amusement.
CRAZY DIETS:
1. The Baby Food Diet
It replaces few of your food items with baby food (also means you poop like a baby). This one might seem easy, but trust me it’s like giving the taste of hell to your tongue. Having boiled, pureed veggies for 10 days without salt or any other spices can be a real tough task to perform. The things people do to lose weight!
2. The Beer and Sausage Diet
Call this the Tailgater’s Diet. Evo Terra, 44, an online exec in Tempe, Arizona, dropped from 195 to 177 pounds in 30 days consuming an average of about 1,500 calories a day—mostly from high-quality sausage and craft ale.
3. Miracle Diet
For this diet, one must consume only fruits for 2 days minimum. Also known as the Hollywood diet, this diet is all about making your body run on fruits or fruit juice for a span of 48 hours, minimum.
4. The Starbucks Diet
Stealing Jared’s strategy, Christine Hall, 66, a librarian from Alexandria, Virginia, lost more than 75 pounds over two years by eating only at Starbucks and sticking to about a 1,000-calorie per day diet. «Over time, scanning the calorie data helped me adjust my portion sizes,» she says.
5. The Eggs and Dessert Diet
You can have your cake and lose your gut too, a recent Tel Aviv University study found. People on 1,600 calories a day who ate a carb-and protein-rich breakfast that also included a dessert lost the same amount of weight (an average of 30 pounds over 4 months) as people on a low-carb diet (and no dessert).
Breakfast is an important meal because you are “breaking the fast” of the night. I enjoy cooking and adore fresh eggs from the hens, fresh fruit from the trees, so I have a variety of meals to make.
I like to add as many veggies to my eggs as possible.
Sometimes I opt for fruit and cottage cheese with honey.
Fresh tomato and broccoli combine nicely with eggs.

No matter what, remember what you were told as a child: breakfast is the most important meal of the day! It gives you the energy to enjoy yourself fully each day!
Excellent current and updated medical knowledge make a great medical doctor. This saves lives, it heals. When we have compassion and empathy towards our patients makes medical practice a wonderfully rewarding experience.
Patients heal sooner when they are listened to when they feel supported. The body responds better to medical treatments and surgical procedures. Recovery is faster.
Compassionate care helps us feel seen and validated by another, and this human connection registers in our autonomic nervous system, lowering blood pressure and supporting us physiologically as well as psychologically.
Fear, stress, helplessness, sadness, physical and emotional pain, embarrassment and isolation are aspects of the illness experience patients go through. Understanding these issues and showing true compassion and empathy towards our patients makes us better doctors with healthier/happier patients.

Endometriosis can usually be treated by medication or surgery designed to preserve fertility. However, a few patients may have symptoms so severe that the uterus and ovaries must be surgically removed. Fortunately for most patients, alternative treatments are available and hysterectomy is rarely necessary.
NOTE: Remember that the best medicines are education and prevention.
My romaine lettuce in my garden…GOING CRAZY…and healthy!
Lettuce Nutrition Facts at the bottom of the post.
SO YUMMY!
Lettuce is a great vegetable: it looks beautiful in your veggie yard, it is healthy on your plate and refreshing on your face.
My friend says lettuce and cucumber on her face work wonders. She looks 10-15 younger than her real age, that’s for sure!
Many of us have the goal of being strong and healthy now and in our 80’s and 90’s ( I personally want to celebrate my 100 year birthday on a bicycle or motorcycle, yes, Sir! ) If you want to be live a long life you need to start eating some anti-aging food and, for starters, leafy greens have to be on your plate every day, lots of them!
All these symptoms can reduce the quality of life of the patient:
Long Covid is a range of symptoms that continue for weeks or months beyond the initial illness. It can happen to any Covid-19 patient, including those who were not hospitalized. Some patients develop medical complications that may have lasting health effects.
Today we face many changes, different ways of doing our daily chores, and huge differences in the way we purchase our necessities in life.
It was interesting to see the changes in just our phone habits in the course of a few short years: home phones to flip phones to iphones. Now our phones seem a part of us in ways never thought 20 years ago.
We wait in line to buy food, wear masks, don’t hug or shake hands and cannot see smiles.
Our best choice is to be flexible in this situation in order to survive.
Flexible, independent thinking will help navigate these uncertain times. Listening, learning, and making decisions that are best for ourselves is the way to make it.
The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea of the eye. It receives oxygen directly from the air.
The human brain has a memory capacity equivalent to more than four terabytes on a hard drive.
A newborn child can breathe and swallow at the same time for up to seven months.
Your skull is made up of 29 different bones.
Nerve impulses sent from the brain move at a speed of 274 km/h.
A single human brain generates more electrical impulses in a day than all the telephones of the world combined.
The average human body contains enough sulfur to kill all the fleas on the average dog, enough carbon to make 900 pencils, enough potassium to fire a toy cannon, enough fat to make seven bars of soap, and enough water to fill a 50-liter barrel.
The human heart pumps 182 million liters of blood during the average lifetime.
50,000 cells in your body died and were replaced by new ones while you were reading this sentence.
The human embryo acquires fingerprints within three months of conception.
My favorite hiking trails so far…but more to come!
Hiking is an economical way to increase your activity level while offering a plethora of health benefits: your heart, lungs, and brain, getting that oxygen! The purpose of hiking to me is to enjoy nature, be WITH nature.

Depression Can Cause Permanent Brain Damage! Depression not only makes a person feel sad and dejected – it can also damage the brain permanently, so the person has difficulties remembering and concentrating once the disease is over. Up to 20 percent of depression patients never make a full recovery.
PROPOSAL SOLUTIONS:
The mere fixation on anti-depressants will not solve this problem as the inflammation is very probably not limited to the brain. Silent inflammation is becoming more and more visible as the driving force behind chronic diseases. An anti-inflammatory lifestyle with antioxidant-rich nutrition, physical activity, and the avoidance of toxins must be the logical conclusion for starters.
<br>Wer ist der wahre eigentümer/schöpfer des herzens ? Gott gibt nur das Herz, du füllst es. Achtung. Was füllst du? Denn dann musst du es leeren. beschmutze nicht dein herz. Allah weiß auch, was in den Tiefen der Herzen ist. Alles was schön ist… Seele, Herz, Liebe, Glaube… Wer Kämpft, kann Verlieren. Wer nicht Kämpft, hat schon Verloren. Lebe jeden Tag deines Lebens, als wäre es dein letzter. Also wirst du eines Tages Recht haben"
