Eating less food

By Ann Geracimos THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Liza May, 51, a nutritionist in Crofton, Md., practices
calorie restriction with a vengeance. Because she consumes
no more than 1,000 calories a day and sometimes fasts for
weeks at a time, people might think she is taking vengeance
on her own body. She insists, however, that her 5-foot-7-
inch, 120-pound muscular frame never has felt better. For
breakfast, she has a powdered calcium drink, some prunes and
a cup of black or green tea. She eats no sugar and hardly
any dairy products, just an occasional serving of yogurt or
piece of cheese. Her only other meal of the day, shared with
her husband and four children, consists of lots of leafy
greens, vegetables and meat or fish of any kind. They prefer
dining out at all-you-can-eat buffets that allow a choice of
smaller portions.
********

What's point of all-you-can eat if you only eat tiny
amounts?????? She could save money and only buy what
she will eat.

********
While carrying out some of the main precepts of the
Atkins diet, Mrs. May is not an active proponent of the
no-carbohydrate regimen and will indulge in ice cream
occasionally.
**************

Could somebody, anybody, please tell me what is this no-carb
regimen and who is an active proponent of it??????

************
"We do cheat. We're human," she says. "We don't want to
spend our whole life being spartan and end up saying,
'What was that all about?'" She insists she has thrived
on this routine for decades without any illness "not
even a single cold" except for a bout of flu in 1974.
"The doctor keeps saying, 'You are just lucky, you have
good genes,' and I'm sure good genes have a lot to do
with it," she says.

If she forces calorie restrictions upon her children she
should be prosecuted for child neglect.

Just my opinion. But, I am *right* as usual!

Well, neither do you, but do you take any notice? 🙂
