The Gregg Diet- It’s the Rub

Every three months my Doctor requires his adult patients to have a blood test and he checks for routine problems and trends. Five months ago at my visit I tipped the scale at 246 pounds. My Doctor said to me: “You have to loose weight!” He is lean and trim so I asked, “How do you keep yourself so trim?” He said: “I skip breakfast, skip lunch and have a steak and a martini every night for dinner”. It got me thinking.

My clothes did not fit. I could not wear my favorite shirts. I looked terrible in photographs. The worst thing was that I was in a slow but sure spiral of weight gain that amounted to about 80 pounds since my days in college. The choice was clear: either keep gaining weight or do something about it to reverse the trend.

I am a person with a slow metabolism and a big appetite. As a child I was heavy. In High School and College/Law School because of heavy exercise I was trim for about 15 years. After I gained weight, the only two diets that seemed to work were the Drinking Man’s Diet and the Dr. Atkins diet. There were two problems with these diets. My Doctor said they were unhealthy and when I deviated from them, the weight just came back on plus more weight like a cherry on the top of a chocolate Sunday.

I found a way to eat as much as I want, not be hungry, loose weight, gain muscle that I call The Gregg Diet. The plan is very simple. Here are the seven rules:

1) Skip one meal per day.

2) Eat as little fat as possible

3) Exercise for at least 45 minutes per day

4) No alcohol allowed

5) Do not cheat on the above four rules more than one day per week

6) Weight yourself every day at approximately the same time of day

7) Stick to it on a permanent basis

In the Gregg Diet you do not count calories. Eat as many vegetables and as much fish as you wish, plus some fruit like bananas, peaches, blueberries, etc. Drink as much water and sugar free liquids as you can. Here are some of the tricks I have learned plus my secret rub.

The rub makes all fish taste better. You can fry it in canola oil, or broil it after you put a little olive oil on the fish then the rub. Plus you can put half a teaspoon in a cup of chicken or vegetable broth, put this in the microwave for 3 minutes and it fills you up like a real meal.

The Rub Recipe: (amounts are approximate and subject to your own tastes)

5% garlic salt

5% smoked salt

5% cumin seed

5% fennel seed

10% paprika

15% hot pepper flakes

55% chili powder- mix several varieties to make it interesting

Salad trick: for the dressing use no oil, balsamic vinegar and add a can of anchovies if you like them.

Snack trick: eat shredded mini-wheat cereal with extra artificial sweetener and add some cinnamon and/or clove powder on the top. No milk.

Ahi Tuna trick: cover with rub and fry in smoking hot canola oil for one minute per side per inch thick (i.e. two minutes per side if fish is two inches thick). Remove from heat immediately.

Drink trick: Diet Snapple with extra artificial sweetener

My doctor could not believe it. After the nurse weighted me, he took me back to the scale to verify the weight loss. The best part is I am continuing to loose weight, my blood pressure is down and the statistics on my cholesterol are the best ever.

The bottom line: The Gregg Diet works. The Rub is a wonderful way to spice up your life. You can eat hearty and rich and loose weight at the same time.

Axe, Tag, or Old Spice?

Axe body spray....Essence is the best of them. My bf wears it sometimes. But DKNY cologne is the best smell of all. So is Soul by Curve.

How i became the sauce goddess. the sauce goddess story begins with my dad. he loved to barbecue and i loved to help him. he was on a mission to create a non-smoky bbq sauce because there was nothing available on the market back then but now there is because of sauce goddess! dad was a pioneer in the sauce industry and did not even know it. his grilling sauce is famous among our family and friends. after years of helping dad, my love for grilling and cooking grew. my favorite place was the kitchen or behind the grill creating all types of recipes. i would experiment on my family and friends. everyone loved the magic sauce and it began to build a reputation. finally, after much encouragement and many dares from friends, i knew my mission was to bring dad’s very unique sauces to the world and start a food company. by this time i was following in dad’s steps creating my own sauces! i have no idea how it started but people began to refer to me as the “sauce goddess”. the sauce goddess line of products now includes: sauces: sweet & spicy grill glaze, sticky sweet grill glaze, gluten free big & tangy sauce and the sweet red devil sauce. spice rubs: original super chunk, bbq sweet heat, moroccan twist and latin heat. sauce goddess is very proud of the success and awards we've won but our biggest accomplishment is helping busy people enjoy delicious, healthy, affordable and innovative home cooked meals quick and easy whether it be on the grill or in the kitchen.

Description

Fusing traditional and unusual spices from a variety of international cuisines, this mother-daughter team offers 150 sumptuous recipes for soups, salads, entr,es, side dishes, and desserts, plus a guide to more than 50 herbs and spices.

About 10,000 years ago, when people added leaves, sticks, or seeds to meals, they "not only changed the flavors of food, they changed the history of the world, too," say mother-and-daughter team Rochelle and Adrianna Zabarkes. The opening section of Adrianna's Spice Caravan gives background on some 48 spices and seasonings, from allspice to vanilla. The middle section, "Blends, Rubs and Marinades of the World," will help you season a universe of dishes. These, and all 150 recipes, are ethnic or related to ethnic dishes. So, you find pungently Italianate Halibut Puttanesca, Peruvian Roast Chicken redolent with garlic and sweet paprika, creamy Fragrant Rice simmered in coconut milk with lemon grass, and savory Devilishly Hot Fruit Salad to serve as a chutneylike accompaniment. The book also includes a number of other features that cooks will find invaluable: a list of mail-order sources, exquisitely descriptive notes that precede each recipe, and historical and literary references in the margins that provide a treasure of additional information. Even the type, which is displayed in tones of teal and terra cotta, gives Adrianna's Spice Caravan a visual lilt that is as inspired as the off-beat recipes.
