Bistro M.D. is probably the healthiest reward we have ever given on the show. It is like having your own personal chef and dietitian wrapped in one. Bistro M.D. was a perfect match for the theme of the show.

What I like about Bistro MD is the fact it’s a company founded by a doctor, and not by some marketing company. Dr. Caroline J. Cederquist, M.D. is one of the few medical doctors in the U.S. who specializes in weight loss. She strongly believes a diet plan should be healthy, delicious and convenient — and she set out to do just that!

If you just don’t have the time — or patience! — to count calories, hunt down healthy recipes or cook tasty meals, then having all of your meals and snacks delivered to you makes perfect sense when it comes to weight loss.

With Nutrisystem’s diet plan, you get all your meals delivered right to your door — in the right portion for you. All you need to do is add in some fresh fruit, veggies and dairy products. It can’t get simpler than that…

You won’t need to spend time wondering whether your next meal has too many calories… or fat… or carbs. You won’t need to spend time remembering a long list of rules of foods you can or can’t eat. You won’t even need to cook! It’s like having your very own weight loss chef!

Did you read about that recent low carb study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, where it seems like every news report was saying that low carb diets beat every other diet? It seemed to be everywhere with headlines like, “Low Carb Plan Best in Study” and “Low Carb Diets Earn Praise: Study Shows Low Carb More Effective …” It was hard not to get caught up in the hype!

But the thing is, a lot of people misinterpreted the study and got it wrong.

I’ve been a member of Tom Venuto’s member’s-only website called “Burn The Fat Inner Circle” since January 2008 — and I have to say, I’m very impressed with what he’s put together.

This site is huge and contains some really powerful resources for people trying to lose fat and get in great shape.

The Inner Circle has very high quality materials that will help members burn more fat and really achieve the results they’re looking for. (I lost 6% body fat in a 12 week period!)

Before I give you some insider-details of what the Inner Circle offers, let me tell you a little bit about Tom Venuto — just in case you don’t know who he is.

Want to hear something interesting? From February 12th to May 5th (12 weeks), my scale told me I lost 4.2lbs — and I was THRILLED. Yes, you heard right, I was thrilled. Why would anybody be that happy about 12 weeks of hard work and only seeing a small drop in weight? That’s because the scale doesn’t tell the whole story!

You see, all that time I was measuring my body fat percentage with the Accu-Measure body fat caliper. So, although the scale said 4.2lbs, Accu-Measure was telling me that I went from 30.8% body fat to 24.6%. In those 12 weeks, I lost 10lbs of fat and gained 5.8lbs of muscle, according to the Accu-Measure chart. So, believe me, I was thrilled. Can you imagine how I would have felt if I had only gone by the numbers on the scale?

If you know me at all, you know I’m a big fan of calorie counting. There’s something so motivating about knowing how many calories you eat vs. how many you burn — and calorie counting helps me avoid certain foods when I *know* those extra calories are going straight to my hips!

Calorie counting can be a real eye-opening experience if you’ve never done it before. It can take some getting used to, but it’s definitely worth it.

There are lots of online calorie counters/fitness trackers, but today I’m going to talk about a downloadable software: FitDay for PC.

FitDay for PC is a software that’s easily installed on your PC, so you don’t need to be online to use it. You don’t have to worry about slow connections or logging in, or losing data if your Internet connection times out.

Not only can you track your food and exercise with FitDay PC, you can track things like your body measurements and your mood — and that’ll help you see the relationship between your mood and your food! This can help a lot when it comes to cravings and comfort food triggers.

One of the primary reasons some people fail to lose weight utilizing a diet plan is that they either stop at a certain point, or are not motivated enough to continue to its successful conclusion. The G.I. Diet alleviates these worries by simply avoiding all foods that have a high glycemic index.

The glycemic index works in this way: it breaks down foods into sugar which is the source of energy for the body. When consuming foods high in glycemic index, the foods you eat are broken down so quickly that your body signals the need for more food. Conversely, foods which are low in glycemic index slowly break down thus you are satisfied with the meal and are no longer hungry.
