Which Grandparent would you like to be?

Let me tell you a short story I heard last week at a barbeque in Brisbane. Sometime ago a little girl called Emily, around 5 years of age was asked by her aunties who her favourite grandmother was. She answered that it was grandma who lived in Sydney. Now she only saw her Sydney grandma during the Christmas holidays.

So what was so special about this distant grandparent. Now the interesting thing is that the other grandmother was taken aback as she was present too when this question was asked and wanted to know why her favourite grandchild favoured her "rival" .

The little girl was quick to answer that her other grandma was more fun to be with. She said that her Sydney grandma had more energy to play the games that little girls played and could run and chase her in the park and join her on the swing all day long.

How exciting for the grandchild!

Whereas grandma in Brisbane was only seen to be giving gifts and sitting in her chair when Emily came over to visit. The sad thing is that her Brisbane grandma was over weight and unwell and always tired to make up by showering her grandchild, Emily, with presents.

So what do you think? Do we want to be grandma Brisbane or the one in Sydney? It's your choice and its so much fun to be up and about than sitting in a rocking chair hoping for the best.

So now that you are interested in changing your life the question is do low carbohydrate diets work and what is the fastest and easiest way to lose weight?

Before we begin we must be quite clear as to what outcome or goal we want to achieve. If it's just to fit into your wedding dress then that is not what we are here talking about. We want to find a solution to our over weight problem and want the best healthy eating program that combines good food, exercise, nutrition and support to help us.

It is important not to fall for quick weight loss schemes that you may see on the market around you. Quite a few of them will sell you on price alone.

This is when you need to look at the program closely and weight it up as to what it can deliver. Quick weight loss diets will only cause more harm. If we were to try fast and quick weight loss diets the result will be weight gain at the cellular levels in our bodies.

So fasting to create weight loss will not be the solution. Our brain will go into panic mode and will pretend there is no more food around causing our cells to store more than what is needed when they do get food. This will cause weight gain and the opposite to what we are hoping to achieve.

Look for a low GI diet with emphasis on low carbohydrates and high fibre.
