Rantings and Ravings

Now, I fucking despise Julia Allison, for more reasons than I can possibly write, but your whole spiel about grains being essential to human life is completely incorrect. Before you go touting your stupidity on matters that actually require a degree in nutrition to fully understand, you should do some research. Not being snarky, just calling you on your bullshit.

Hello readers!

This is the first in an occasional series I’m calling “How I Did It.” Today’s post is on everyone’s favorite subject (groan) - weight loss!  Now that my mom’s worked really hard to get to a size 6, which is ridiculous and amazing and so, so impressive, I’ve been inspired.

2. You can’t make excuses.

At the beginning, my trainer gave me some guidelines on how he eats. (Technically, trainers aren’t supposed to give nutrition recommendations, at least in the state of NY.) They included no grains (not no carbs — because technically even sweet potatoes have carbs, though those are “good” carbs), no dairy. There were some other guidelines, but those were the hardest to wrap my head around. And yes, they are a bit extreme. But I asked Joel about yogurt and brown rice, and he said “There are no half-measures; Aruba is soon.”

Lady, there is a reason he legally can’t give you nutrition advice. Grains are sort of a major component of the human diet and like essential or whatever to staying alive or some junk. Your forefathers specifically domesticated crops so you could have yourself some cereals a couple times a day.

Don’t worry Julia Allison, you’re off the hook, I expect skipping food groups from you.
