Feeding Barry Headcanon

“Is this a bad time to bring up my blood sugars?”

If there was one thing Bruce had to make sure he calculated for when he built the Justice League was making sure his speedster didn't go hungry.

Money, was never the issue, the real issue came about making sure Barry had someone TO MAKE SURE he was eating enough to cope.

On an average day, just from watching Barry consume a full 18 inch pizza by himself and a guess from looking at the details of some of the foods he’d listed online, that he and Alfred would have there hands full.

Well, more Alfred.

Cue, Alfred.

When Bruce explained Barry’s apatite to Alfred at first, he didn't quite see the issue, Bruce downed 3,500 calories a day most of it just proteins so, another mouth to feed wasn’t all that hard, Dick had been on the same by the time he’d hit 16.

But when Bruce ran the simulation of Barry’s metabolism on the computer, they both began to panic.

How was a boy his age managing to feed himself the MINIMUM of DOUBLE Bruce’s calories a day on his budget?!

Alfred came to the conclusion that unless Barry ate roughly 7,000 calories a day at minimum, he’d start losing weight.

Bruce was in the trash in ten minutes, digging up the MacDonald's takeaway containers he’d bought Barry just that afternoon.

He’d given the kid his card and said go. Now he sat here with the boxes of 3 Bigs Mac’s, 6 double cheeseburgers, 3 packets of large fries, 20 chicken nuggets, a black coffee, a large irn bru and 5 apple pies. That was roughly 9,087 calories from what they could add up from the nutritional info.

That was LUNCH. That was...Barry’s minimum daily needs and only $50 out Bruce’s pocket.

$50, was pretty much Barry’s budget for THREE days of meals not just one.

Bruce went to argue with Barry that he needed to move in, Alfred managed to stop him.

Barry was all grown up and had been independent for too long to allow Bruce to walk into his life and smother him.

But something had to be done.

It took awhile but Barry did move in with some carefully plying by Alfred and the Butler managed to start tracking his food intake.

By making sure Barry got 6 meals a day for his 7,000 calories out of Bruce’s pocket, letting Barry add the rest became routine.

Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Diner and Supper, Alfred was finally back to using his cook books that had been gathering dust.

Each meal had to have 1,160 calories and 30g or more of proteins to be any use to Barry’s development. Now, Alfred could have just given the boy a lump of cash and let him go bonkers on fast food, but the fat’s and sugars were the bigger hurdles, as much as it met his calories and his proteins in meat from burgers...it didn’t meet everything else.

Barry’s malnutrition he found didn’t just come from the lack of food, it was the lack of the RIGHT foods. Even though Alfred balanced all six of Barry’s meals a day to cater for vitamins and such it wouldn’t be enough in places, that was where medication would have to come in, now he finds one afternoon after offering the boy some ibuprofen, that they didn’t work, his metabolism swallowed the effects in just a few minutes. Even tripling the dose, it was out of his system in just 12 minutes. That ment that to account for the speed at which his body used it’s building blocks everything had to be at least TWENTY times the rate of a normal human every day just for Barry to get a close enough dose of his nutrition.

To put into perspective, an average male needs 500ug of Vitamin D a day, thats...30 minutes of sun. Barry, on the other hand needed over 10,000 a day just to function. Something that was easily helped with him being able to travel, a couples of hours in Australia and he’d get a solid top up, but running back ment using his powers, ment burning his body’s reserves, it was one hell of a game. Tablets, were Alfred’s go to. Ten dissolvable multi vitamin tablets in a 2 liter bottle of OJ a day and Barry was good to go, with his meals included, Alfred was glad to see Barry starting to look better after the first few months.

Until, he wasn’t.

Going to work without breakfast, had Alfred concerned, but he had his packed brunch and lunch, he had his extra cash for snacks. To find that the lunch had only been half eaten when he came home was massive question mark.

Dinner Time...he said he wasn’t hungry and Alfred had him dragged towards the cave in just a moment.

Just the ONE day of not eating his minimum calories and all the work that they had progressed on was fading. Barry still as much as he’d gotten off his chest about the anniversary of his mothers death, refused to eat.

IV’s it came too then.

Dragging the boy back upstairs, he handed him off to Bruce who situated him in his room while Alfred set about getting Barry on some IV drips.

Barry muttered on about the fuss but didn't fight Bruce keeping him in the bed as Alfred put IV catheters in both arms. 6 bags of 20% dextrose fluids wouldn’t do the job his meals should have but it would prevent him from going hypoglycemic for the rest of the day. In the mean time, Bruce set about finding his weak spot, his food weak spot. Now Barry liked a lot of food, he liked many different foods and Bruce was pretty willing to pay anything for him to eat something.

He returned a few hours later with takeaway Chinese food , Indian Food , Italian food as well as three large pizzas, Mexican food meals, nearly every MacDonald's burger, Fried Chicken bucket meals, Kebabs, 48 Krispy Kreme Dounuts, nine different 12 inch sub sandwiches, Frozen meals from several different supermarkets and even a huge three tier chocolate cake. Bruce had been about to run back out of the door when he recalled a Brazilian takeaway just outside of town as well as another chicken shop when Barry came out of his room pulling the IV stand with him woken up at all the kerfuffle Alfred was making.

“Master Bruce it’s midnight I doubt the boy is going to eat”

Barry, pulling out the IV’s then sat down at the table quietly as they argued, looking over everything Bruce had bought him slightly shy of the money he could imagine he’d spent. A smile broke out on his face at the sight of the brown bag.

“He’s just started gaining weight, Alf if he doesn't-” “I’m fully aware, Bruce look, one day won't kill him, the IV’s will hold on off the worst of the hypo-”

*crunch*

They turned to see the boy happily munching prawn crackers.

Alfred pretty much dropped to the sofa in relief. Bruce just started laughing before pulling out a chair to sit opposite the speedster who was now eyeing up the cake as he packed prawn crackers into one of kebabs.

Nobody said a word until Barry had consumed at least five of the items on the table and paused for a can of lemonade.

“Barry?”

The pup looks up to Alfred on the sofa who was sat with a cup of tea, paper work spread out across his lap as Bruce sat beside him with a his laptop. It was just past one one in the morning.

“Promise me something?”

Barry paused in reaching for the rice pot next to the Korma to indicate he was listening. “When this happens again, you’ll tell me when you’ll eat again before giving us a heart attack won’t you?”

The younger nodded and fought the laugh he almost made at Bruce getting whacked with the folder in Alfred’s hand at his old man response.

Suddenly, Curry wasn't what he wanted. He’d had a kebab, a pizza, three burgers, a subs sandwich and a whole bucket of chicken...he needed something sweet, picking up one of the boxes of dounuts he pads over to the sofa dropping himself between Alfred and Bruce who shared an intrigued look, Barry picks a dounut before pushing the box into Alfred’s lap with a cheeky smirk.

Alfred sighs, the boys puppy brown eyes were too hard to resist and picks one out putting it in his mouth before passing the box back over to Bruce, the vigilante grimaced and went to give them back but caught Barry’s look of confusion.

“Okay, okay, just one, I guess it won’t ruin my diet”

Grabbing the remote, Alfred passes it to Barry as he puts away the paperwork, Bruce does the same tucking away the laptop and watches as Barry flicks for a movie.

“Coffee, Dounuts and bad horror movies at one in the morning...I guess it beats being out in the rain eh” Bruce laughs licking chocolate off his fingers as Barry snuggles into Alfred’s side.

“It’s perfect” Barry smiles around a mouthful of dounut, pulling a face as Alfred goes to wipe the caramel dripping off his chin.

Feeding Barry was always going to be a challenge, but for our vigilante and Butler Dad, it was worth it just to see him happy.

How to Eat Healthily at an Indian Restaurant

Nutrition expert explains how you can eat healthily in many restaurants: "I go to many lovely restaurants in Cardiff with my family and I am always, looking for healthy options. Most restaurants are pretty good and the waiters are extremely helpful in helping you choose a healthy option, to help you reach your weight loss goals while still having a lovely meal".

The key to eating healthily is to make sensible food choices. Avoid alcohol when going out for meals as this will severely affect your judgment. Plus alcohol packs on more calories, fat and empty (useless) carbohydrates into your system. Drink water with your meal and score ten out of ten for your food choices and decision making.

Indian food is loaded with empty calories and it is extremely high in trans fats. These saturated fats have absolutely no benefit to your bodily functions and will serve little purpose rather than clogging arteries, raising blood pressure and increasing your body fat percentage. Indian foods should be a one off treat and should not be consumed regularly.

All the food that you see at an Indian restaurant is manufactured/processed food. A cave man or your great, great, great. great grandparents couldn't have eaten a chicken korma, rice, naan and popadoms. Were your great, great, great, great grandparents overweight? Is a caveman from hundreds of centuries ago overweight? Certainly not. The point I'm trying to make is that in order to get fit, we must eat healthily. Indian food does not come into the healthy category, in fact it is totally the opposite.

Indian food is predominantly made with ghee. his is basically pure fat and has absolutely no nutritional value. The worst dishes for ghee are buttered dishes such as buttered chicken and korma, such as chicken korma. Due to the high content of ghee, these dishes are extremely high calorie.

One of my biggest calorie savers is to swap fried rice for pilaf rice or boiled rice. This will save you hundreds of calories and around 25 grams of fat. This small change on rice emphasizes the importance of healthy food choices. By choosing the fried rice your body is subject to 25 grams of extra fat and 400 extra calories.

When eating at an Indian restaurant, take a look at how the food has been cooked. This is another superb tip! Fried, battered and crispy describe unhealthy ways to cook food, where as grilled, steamed and boiled resemble healthier options. This will save you hundreds and hundreds of more calories per dish. Your waistline will be grateful!

Top Fruits For Fat Loss That We Should Be Aware Of

Do you want to lose weight? Then we know that we need to incorporate healthy diet for a better lifestyle. In this diet, fruits also play a vital role. Fruits contain nutrients that are useful for health and also help to feel full without adding much of calories. However, fruits have sometimes gained a bad name because of the presence of excessive amounts of natural sugars that can be converted to fat when eaten in excess. But there are fruits which can actually help in fat loss and help to burn fat. Here Glenn Gration explains about some of the top fruits that can help in fat loss and help in the weight loss program.

1. Strawberries for Fat Loss

Just blast fat from your body by having red, ripe and delicious strawberries. A cup of strawberries contains only 49 calories, loaded with Vitamin C, 3 grams of fibre and also contain calcium, magnesium and potassium. Strawberries enhance the production of metabolic and fat burning hormones adiponectin and leptin which can lead to higher metabolic rate and hence better weight loss. It is also packed with antioxidants that can slow down the aging of the skin and also help in burning the fat rather than storing it. Strawberries are always an answer for weight loss until and unless it is not added to ice creams or creamy desserts. Use healthier option like top strawberries on low-fat yogurt, smoothies, oatmeal or eat as it is. Prefer fresh strawberries which are naturally sweet, juicy and firm than the canned or sweetened strawberries.

2. Avocados

Avocados are one of the metabolic enhancing foods due to the presence of monounsaturated fats. By rule, Avocados are highly caloric food, about 100 gms of fresh fruit provides about 160 calories. But there is a catch to it. About two-thirds of the calories from avocados come from monounsaturated fats i.e., oleic acid. Oleic acid is utilized in the body as a slow burning energy as compared to saturated fats. The presence of monounsaturated fats helps in the marked improvement in the insulin sensitivity and glycemic control which is good for preventing weight gain and helps in controlling diabetes. Apart from this, it is also rich in Omega 9 fats that can reduce the blood levels of bad low-density lipoproteins ad increase the levels of good high-density lipoproteins. Omega 9 fats also improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants from the food with which it is eaten. It’s buttery taste, presence of monounsaturated fats, good levels of proteins and low carbohydrates help you improves the satiety or you feel full for a longer period of time after eating this food.

3. Lose Weight Fast With Lemons

Lemons are liver detoxifiers which are beneficial for digestion and burn fat as the liver is an important organ responsible for this function. It also tends to alkalize the bodily fluids and tissues. Drinking lemon water in the morning speeds up the detoxifying process and the cleansing process in the body. It flushes out the toxins in our body and removes the internal wastes. The colon if not cleansed properly can result in the buildup of wastes that can contribute to the risk of developing colon cancer in the long run. The combination of lemon and water adds to zero calories as compared to any other fruit drink. The absence of calories in lemon water always stands a point ahead in the losing weight. Drinking lemon water also is beneficial in reducing the hunger cravings due to the presence of pectin in lemons.

4. Coconut for Fat Loss

According to Glenn Gration Coconuts are naturally occurring food that supports weight loss. Coconuts can be consumed in many forms like raw flesh, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, flaked coconuts, coconut milk and cream. The type of fat that coconut contains makes a difference. Coconut oil contains certain types of fatty acids like lauric acid and capric acid which form a category called medium chain triglycerides. The medium chain triglycerides or MCTs can enhance metabolism and speed up the rate at which the body burn up energy. The energy that is needed for the body to burn the MCTs is more than the energy that they provide. Coconut can also boost thyroid function wish tend to regulate the metabolic rate. How do we incorporate coconuts in the diet?

>Add as an ingredient in the vegetable or chicken korma.

>Pour coconut milk or cream on fresh fruits.

>Incorporate coconut in milk or yogurt smoothies.

5. Watermelon For Healthy Weight Loss

In the battle of weight loss program, we need to select those foods that are low in calories, high in water and fibre content as they tend to fill up your stomach without adding calories. Watermelon has been one of those fruits which can the answer. Watermelon contains little more than 91 percent water by weight. It may not be a very good source of fibre as a cup of diced fruits provides only 0.6 gms fibre. But it is a low energy dense fruit as per gram fruit provides only 0.3 calories. One 152 gms cup provides up to 46 calories and a trace of fat. Having watermelons can fill you up because of chewing and swallowing. Apart from this it also contains various nutrients like calcium, Vitamin C and lycopene that add to the glory of incorporating watermelons in our diet.

6. Apples

If we need to keep the calories at bay, we need to have an apple or two a day. The presence of pectin in apples helps to bind with water in the body and limit the absorption of fat by the body cells. The presence of fibre can provide fullness to us for the longer period of time. Consuming apple about half an hour or one hour before having your meal can cut down on the amount of calories of the meals. The antioxidants that are present in apples help to prevent the metabolic syndrome, a condition which involves a combination of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes along with the thickening around the waist.

Fruits do bring wonders for weight management or fat loss. But relying only on these fruits is not the solution. Fruits need to be consumed along with a low calorie, balanced diet to get positive results.

The 9 Amazing Benefits of Indian Cuisine Indulgence

You may have heard that Indian cuisine is bad for you. It’s full of fat that causes you to gain weight and struggle with heart problems. If that’s the case, why are there so many healthy Indians?

Indian food is some of the best for you, depending on how it’s cooked. There are many health benefits to the spices and herbs used to flavor dishes. In fact, many of the herbs and spices are used in Eastern health remedies because they are so good for you.

A good Indian diet is low in fat, high in fiber, and extremely good for proteins. Even if you don’t eat meat, the dishes will be packed with complete proteins due to the legumes you use. Sure, there are some creamy and fatty dishes, but in moderation, they can also be good for you. Here are the nine amazing benefits of Indian cuisine indulgence.

Packed with Antioxidants, Vitamins, and Minerals

There is no denying that your Indian cuisine is packed with multiple vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. You’ll use several fruits, vegetables, and herbs in your cooking. They contain the likes of vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals like potassium and iron. The Indian diet is packed with some of the best support for the body.

With the antioxidants, your immune system gets a boost. You’re protected from more illnesses and your body doesn’t become inflamed as much. The cells are protected from damage and toxins in the body.

Meanwhile, the blood has plenty of red blood cells carrying the oxygen around, thanks to the boost in iron. The potassium helps to keep your electrolytes to prevent muscle cramps. It’s easier to build stronger bones thanks to the calcium within the meals.

You don’t need to even pack your dishes with meat to get the mineral benefits. You can get it all from pulses and dals. Vegetable curries are among the best for your health, especially when you use chickpeas and quinoa. The two are considered complete proteins. They have all the nine amino acids your body needs in one sitting.

And because of all the proteins, the meals are extremely filling. You keep the fat content down while enjoying the food you eat. It’s easier to lose weight and keep it off because you feel like you’re living instead of dieting.

The health antioxidants and nutrients will help to keep cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels to a minimum. There’s more support for the organs, so you suffer from fewer health problems in your life.

Packed with Healthy Rice

Rice gets a bad reputation for the wrong reason. Even white rice gets a bad reputation. It’s viewed as a carbohydrate that is just causing you to gain weight. This is one of the reasons why Indian cuisine is viewed as a bad thing. However, it couldn’t be further from the truth.

White rice is a staple in many Oriental and Middle Eastern cuisines. You don’t see a lot of people in these locations struggling with health problems associated with the Western diets. That’s because it’s not the rice that causes the problem, but the refined carbs in flours and cakes.

If you’re not that convinced, you can make a switch to brown rice. It’s easy to mask the slightly harder taste (usually because most people don’t cook it long enough) within the curried dishes. Brown or even wild rice are considered healthier alternatives to white rice because of the higher fiber count. The fiber will help to support your digestive system and keep your blood sugar levels down.

Either way, the rice is going to help support your health. They both help to keep you feeling fuller for longer. You end up eating less throughout the day, without the negative side effects of flours and other refined carbs. The digestive system is supported, and you feel healthier inside and out because of the Indian food.

Plenty of Healthy Oils for the Heart

There’s a common misconception that fat will make you fat. This was pushed by the sugar industries throughout the 80s, demonizing fats for all the wrong reasons. The truth is that some fat is healthy, and you want to add it to your diet.

Indian cuisine will help you get fat in the right way. Healthy oils can help support your brain and heart health. You get omega 3s to keep the brain cells in check, while the healthy oils will line the arteries with a smooth lining. The blood flows better, preventing high blood pressure and heart disease.

However, to make the most of this health benefit, you’ll have to think about the type of Indian dishes you eat. There are some that are packed with saturated fats and they can cause high bad cholesterol levels. Switch out the cream dishes and opt for more roasted, tomato-based dishes. When you do want something creamy, opt for yogurts or curd (more on this next).

Most Indian chefs will cook with non-stick pans and roast their vegetables. This helps to cut down on the frying but also keeps the vegetable oils out of the way. The fats come from the cuts of meat, the nuts, and other similar ingredients. Use the lean cuts of meat or opt for more vegetable dishes to cut your intake of saturated fats down further.

More Good Bacteria in the Gut

Remember the comment about curd? Well, this is another amazing benefit of Indian cuisine. The curd is one of the best ways to get good bacteria in the gut. Another option is yogurt.

The gut needs some bacteria. When it doesn’t get enough good bacteria, it will grow the bad bacteria. This leads to more yeast infections, underactive digestive systems, and chronic health problems. It makes it harder for the body to absorb all the nutrients from the food you eat, so you’re more likely to suffer from deficiencies, even if you have an averagely healthy diet.

The curd is an excellent way to replace the cream with a creamy texture to kormas, butter chicken, and other similar dishes. Of course, it is possible to eat too much, and you will need to get a good balance. It’s best to make your own homemade curd for best results.

If you can’t get curd, yogurt will offer similar good bacteria benefits. You will need to get natural Greek or plain yogurts. Those that are flavored won’t just affect the taste of your dishes but will also add more unnecessary sugars.

Improve Your Digestive Health

It shouldn’t be that surprising to hear that Indian cuisine is great for your digestive health. We’ve already looked at the rice and how it contains more fiber than expected, helping to support the digestive system. But that’s not the only way Indian food is so good.

The lower fat content is positive for your digestive health. Fats are cloggy, even the unsaturated fats. They take time to break down in the digestive system and can cause some discomfort and upset. Indian cuisine is low in fats, making the food extremely easy to digest.

You also get plenty of fiber from the vegetables and fruits. They help to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for good health. The digestive system is lined with a protective layer, while the food slides through.

The spices and herbs can also help to boost your digestive process, aiding with weight loss. In fact, the spices are worth looking at on their own.

A Boost to the Metabolic Rate

When you think of Indian food, you likely initially consider the spices. After all, most Indian chefs will ask you how spicy you want your food and certain dishes are known to be the hottest. Spice is great for speeding up the metabolism.

The spice will increase the body’s internal temperature. To help reduce the temperature, the metabolism kicks up to get rid of the reason for it. This will help you burn through more calories in a short space of time, and the kick to the metabolism will continue long after you’ve eaten the food.

Meanwhile the heart rate increases. Your body thinks that you’re exercising, even though you’re sitting with a meal. This will help to further boost your metabolic rate.

Don’t worry about being left hungry. The body still needs to burn the protein and fiber you’ve fed it. What your metabolism ends up doing is burning the fat you’ve stored. It’s much easier to lose weight when you eat more spices. Plus, the spices will boost your immunity against diseases. Even if you didn’t need to lose weight, you’ll want to improve your immunity.

Lack of Sluggishness After a Meal

When you eat your normal home cooked meals, you likely feel sluggish and full. Your digestive system has a lot of work to do, especially if you eat a lot of wheat and grains. Your body isn’t used to dealing with the thickness of the wheat.

You may initially think that Indian food shouldn’t be good for you, right? After all, chapattis and roti bread are common staples of Indian cuisine. If bread makes you sluggish, how can these breads be good for you? Well, they’re made from Atta flour or durum. Both are much finer than Western flours, so they don’t cause the same sluggishness.

They also don’t cause the same spike in your blood sugar levels. The flours break down slowly in the digestive system, absorbing when you need the energy and leaving you to feel satisfied but energetic. You don’t need the same amount of insulin to deal with Indian wheat as you do with Western flour and wheat. You have a lower risk of developing Type II diabetes and other health conditions.

Nutritional Values Are Preserved

A major issue with cooking vegetables is that the nutritional values can be damaged. This happens through the cooking process, whether you fry, bake, roast, or even boil and steam! An amazing thing about Indian cooking is that the nutritional values are all preserved because of different cooking methods.

Many of the Indian dishes use slow cooking methods. They help to bring out more moisture and flavor. The dishes can seep in the marinades, making them much tastier and spicier than other dishes.

Every bite you eat will be packed with the nutrients that you expect. You won’t be left wondering why you’re suffering from deficiencies despite a healthy diet.

You will also get more spices with Indian dishes. Most western dishes will add garlic, but not the ginger, turmeric, and cardamom pods. These are all included in many Indian dishes, offering the boosts to the metabolisms, the healing properties, and anti-inflammatory properties. Your whole body will benefit from every bite you take.

Only Fresh Ingredients Are Encouraged

When you eat at an Indian restaurant, you will find that all dishes taste a lot better than the quick ready meals you can pick up at the grocery store. This is because of the type of vegetables that are used. An Indian chef will always use fresh ingredients. They skip the preservatives and processed food, using freshly chopped vegetables and herbs and deliciously fresh meat.

All dishes are prepared by hand. They’re packed with flavor with many items freshly bought that day.

If you want to make the most of your Indian cuisine and benefit from this fact, you’ll need to get fresh ingredients as much as possible. Avoid the frozen vegetables and dried herbs. Grow your own herbs and spices at home and always use fresh where you can. You gain far more nutrients with each bite and the dishes will taste a lot better.

Indian cuisine is healthier than you would have initially considered. While there are some creamy dishes, there are ways to make them healthier. Your dishes are packed with antioxidants and proteins. You’ll get plenty of fiber and good bacteria. Your digestive system benefits, which means the rest of your body does too!

“After a lifetime of losing and gaining weight, I get it. No matter how you slice it, weight loss comes down to the simple formula of calories in, calories out”. Valerie Bertinelli

There is no magic formula; if we want to lose weight, we need to think about calories, the fuel for our body if you like, and how many we should be eating on a daily basis. There is no exact answer as it depends on our build, our age (we need less as we get older) and how active we are but, for a rough guide, it’s about 2500 per day for men and about 2000 for women. So, if you want to lose weight, you need to burn off more calories than you eat but, in order to do this, you need to know how many calories you’re taking in and how many you’re burning off.

The 200 calories in a small bar of chocolate will take about an hour to burn off if you are walking at normal pace of around 3 miles per hour. The same applies for a couple of slices of toast and butter or two large scrambled eggs or a salad (no dressing) with grilled chicken.

Two pieces of chocolate isolated on white background. Cleaned and retouched photo.

If you fancy a pizza and eat your way through the whole thing you will have consumed around 850 calories – to burn this off you will need to right a bike at around 16-20 miles per hour for a whole hour. The same applies if you have a burger and fries, take away fish and chips or a korma curry. If you decide to have a pint of beer with dinner you can add another 200 calories!

So you can see that, if you don’t do any exercise to burn off all these calories, they can add up very quickly indeed. If you have fast food for dinner and opt for a take away curry and rice, with a couple of pints of beer followed by a bowl of chocolate ice-cream you could easily get through 1500 calories if not more; if you’re a woman, that doesn’t leave very many for the rest of the day.

If you decide that you want a healthier life and to lose a bit of weight spend some time working out how much sugar you have in your diet (don’t forget tea, coffee, soft drinks and alcohol) then work out how many calories you eat in a day. If the sugar is more than 25g (around 6 teaspoons) and your calorie intake is more than 2500 on an average day then think about changing something. You don’t have to live on lettuce leaves and water but maybe making different choices could change how you feel about your body. Add to that 30 minutes of fast walking a day and you’ll be surprised at the results.

It’s Just A Matter of In and Out "After a lifetime of losing and gaining weight, I get it. No matter how you slice it, weight loss comes down to the simple formula of calories in, calories out".

Cam Girls Free Chat Rooms

Even though Travis and Linda are decades beyond the acceptable age for trick-or-treating (they're in their mid-forties), and even though they don't have children of their own to steer around the neighborhood, they love Halloween. No, it's not what you think. They don't dress up in matching M&M costumes and go door-to-door with decorated pillowcases, hoping they can disguise their age. They decline the invitation that is occasional a friend's Halloween party, preferring instead to stay home. They even put a big bowl of candy on their front stoop at the start of the night with a note "Please share," so that no one rings their doorbell. So what do they find so appealing about Halloween? How is 31st different from any other day for this couple october? Four years ago Linda surprised Travis with a Halloween treat. The day before, she began leaving Travis mysterious notes telling him that he was in for a special treat the evening that is following. These notes were rife with sexual innuendo, so it's an understatement to say that Travis's curiosity was piqued by his wife's plans. On Halloween, once the sun set, Travis was instructed to wait for his wife in the guest room with the lights turned off. When Linda arrived, she was dressed in a flimsy teddy and pretended she had just met Travis. She remained in character for the next several hours, seducing him and acting they were having sex like it was the first time. The entire experience was highly erotic for Travis and he appreciated how much thought and effort Linda had put into the evening. At first Linda thought it was her husband who was receiving the erotic treat, but she ended up enjoying the experience as much as her husband. Linda and Travis decided to make their erotic role-play an annual event. The following year it was Travis's turn to seduce his wife and fulfill one of her fantasies. Both joked about how freedom that is much experienced while playing the role of seducer. Becoming someone else in those moments allowed each of their imaginations to expand in new and ways that are exciting. An part that is important of role-play involved creating a scenario that took into consideration their partner's sexual desires and fantasies. The role-plays were focused on meeting each other's sexual needs in fun and creative ways. Use Halloween to ramp up your sex life For Linda and Travis, Halloween is about experimentation in the bedroom. They took the role-play aspect of Halloween and are transforming this concept to their relationship. You can too. Think of Halloween as a mindset-the opportunity to temporarily alter your persona. Why can this be so powerful? When you take on a role for your partner, the mundane stresses of your life vanish. (I'm assuming your role play will not include mortgage payments, the pressures at work, getting the kids to school on time...). So within that role-play you are freed from the aspects of life that are burdensome and hold you back. Obligation and responsibility are replaced with freedom and playfulness. You can even find escape that is temporary worries and beliefs that typically hold you back. Such freedom will allow you to be present in new and exciting ways. Rules of the role play: 1. Have fun. 2. Respect your partner's wishes and limits. 3. Take feedback from your partner about what worked and didn't. This is learning by trial and error. If you do something that doesn't work for your partner, don't take it personally. Rather, acknowledge the known fact that we each have unique needs. 4. If you're going to push the sexual limits of your relationship, check in with your partner before and throughout the experience.

Again, have fun connecting to your partner in a new and way that is exciting. Is your relationship worth protecting? Are you ready to make your marriage everything it can be? Everybody loves a great takeaway and our appetite for takeaway food always remains strong. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing as there are lots of options available for healthy takeaway. Indian takeaway With regards to food that is full of fat, Indian takeaway usually tops the list. However, there are many delicious healthy inidan available choices which are not high in fat. Choosing a tandoori dish such as tandoori king prawns, chicken tikka or shashlik is an excellent option as they foods are cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) plus they are relatively lower in fat. If you like sauce along with your dish then choose a curry that is tomato based such as for example rogan josh. Avoid the creamy based sauces - chicken tikka masala and korma dishes. Another healthy option could be a vegetable biryani. When selecting your selection of bread to go with the dish, the healthiest choice is chapatti. This is simply flat bread produced from wholemeal flour and water. Breads such as for instance naan and paranthas are coated with butter and enriched with sugars and fats and occasionally are filled with fillings so it's far better avoid these breads. If you should be ordering rice then choose brown rice if available otherwise plain or boiled/steamed rice is equally as healthy. Try and avoid pilau rice as this could be very at the top of calories. If curry can be your dish and you like them hot, always order a raita as a side dish. That is produced from natural yoghurt and cucumber and can keep your mouth cool and help with digestion for the curry, a much healthier substitute for glasses of lager or beer. Pizza Pizza is generally quite saturated in fat. However, certain steps could be taken fully to make ordering takeaway pizza healthier. Firstly, always choose thin crust pizza in the place of deep pan and order a size smaller than normal. When it comes to choosing toppings, the healthy friendly pizza is a straightforward margherita. Should you want to add additional toppings then try using vegetables, tuna or chicken and avoid fatty meats like pepperoni and spicy beef or pork toppings. Some pizza takeaway's offer zero fat cheese as a topping that is an excellent alternative to normal cheese. Healthy alternatives for starters include dishes such as for example sweetcorn or crab soup. For the main course you need to include stir-fries or dishes cooked in an oyster or black bean sauce. Always order plain steamed rice to accompany the dish. Fish & Chips This may sound surprising but fish and chips My Fav Sex Cams could be one of several healthiest options with regards to takeaway food! When selecting make sure you have thicker cut chips as they absorb significantly less fat while they are cooking and taste better. Good choices of fish include cod and plaice - but haddock is the better as it's a fish that is abundant with iodine which helps to stimulate your metabolic rate. An even healthier alternative is removing the batter for steamed fish. Always steer clear of the fatty meat choices including pies and battered sausages.
