This diet is designed to help you cope with the stress that builds up
during the day:
BREAKFAST:
Grapefruit
1 slice whole wheat toast
8 oz skim milk
LUNCH:
4oz lean broiled chicken breast
1 c steamed spinach
1 c herb tea
1 oreo cookie
MID-AFTERNOON SNACK:
The rest of the Oreos in the package
2 pts rocky road ice cream, nuts, cherries, and whipped cream
1 jar hot fudge sauce
DINNER:
2 loaves garlic bread
4 cans or 1 large pitcher of coke
1 large sausage, mushroom and cheese pizza
3 snickers bars
LATE EVENING NEWS:
entire frozen Sara Lee Cheesecake (eaten directly from the freezer)
RULES FOR THIS DIET:
1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy
bar are canceled out by the diet soda.
3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you do not
eat more than they do.
4. Food used for medicianl purposes NEVER counts, such as hot
chocolate, brandy, toast and Sara Lee cheesecake.
5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
6. Movie related foods do not have additional calories because they are
part of the entertainment package and are not part of one's personal fuel.
E.G. Milk Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots, & Tootsie Rolls.
7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking causes
calorie leakage.
8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in
the process of preparing something.
9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories.
E.G. Spinach & Pistachio Ice Cream; Mushrooms and Mashed Potatoes....
10. Chocolate is a universal color and my be substituted for any other
food color.
11. Anything consumed while standing has no calories. This is due to
gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
12. Anything consumed from someone else's plate has no calories since
the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to his/her
plate. (We all know how calories like to cling!!) :-)
REMEMBER: STRESSED SPELLED BACKWARDS IS DESSERTS! :-)

Oh, bugger it, I'll just sit at the back of the class, and wear my camouflage pants so no-one will see me....

A DIET PRAYER
Lord, My soul is ripped with riot
incited by my wicked diet.
"We Are What We Eat," said a wise old man!
and, Lord, if that's true, I'm a garbage can.
I want to rise on Judgment Day, that's plain!
but at my present weight, I'll need a crane.
So grant me strength, that I may not fall
into the clutches of cholesterol.
May my flesh with carrot-curls be dated,
that my soul may be poly unsaturated
And show me the light, that I may bear witness
to the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
And at oleomargarine I'll never mutter,
for the road to Hell is spread with butter.
And cream is cursed; and cake is awful;
and Satan is hiding in every waffle.
Mephistopheles lurks in provolone;
the Devil is in each slice of baloney,
Beelzebub is a chocolate drop,
and Lucifer is a lollipop.
Give me this day my daily slice
but, cut it thin and toast it twice.
I beg upon my dimpled knees,
deliver me from jujubees.
And when my days of trial are done,
and my war with malted milk is won,
Let me stand with Heavenly throng,
In a shining robe--size 30 long.
I can do it Lord, If You'll show to me,
the virtues of lettuce and celery.
If You'll teach me the evil of mayonnaise,
of pasta a la Milannaise
potatoes a la Lyonnaise
and crisp-fried chicken from the South.
Lord, if you love me, shut my mouth.

My appetite is my shepherd
My appetite is my shepherd, I always want.
It maketh me sit down and stuff myself.
It leadeth me to my refrigerator repeatedly,
Sometimes during the night.
It leadeth me in the path of Burger King for a Whopper.
It destroyeth my shape.
Yea, though I knoweth I gaineth, I will not stop eating,
For the food tasteth so good.
The ice cream and the cookies, they comfort me.
When the table is spread before me, it exciteth me.
For I knoweth that I sooneth shall dig in.
As I filleth my plate continuously,
My clothes runneth smaller.
Surely bulges and pudgies shall follow me
All the days of my life.
And I shall be "pleasingly plump" forever.

New Cancer Report Removes Saccharin, Adds Alcohol
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The latest U.S. government report on what causes
cancer, issued on Monday, removed saccharin from the list of suspected
carcinogens, but added 14 substances, including second-hand tobacco
smoke and alcohol, as known causes.
It also added sunshine and sunlamps, silica dust and the breast-cancer drug
tamoxifen although the report noted that while cancer drugs may increase the
incidence of other cancers, the benefits often outweigh the risks.
The National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), which
issued the bi-annual report, said it removed saccharin as a potential
cancer-causing agent because tests that showed it caused tumors in rats did
not apply to humans.
It had been listed since 1981.
``Two decades ago, when saccharin was shown to produce bladder tumors in
rats, it was a prudent, protective step to consider the sweetener to be a likely
human carcinogen,'' NIEHS director Dr. Kenneth Olden said in a statement.
``Studies now indicate that the rat bladder tumors arise from mechanisms
that are not relevant to the human situation.''
He also said humans had used saccharin for decades without increasing
rates of cancer.
Saccharin, sold since 1900, is the oldest sugar substitute on the market. But
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tried to ban it in 1977 when it was
found to cause cancer in rats.
The U.S. public, faced with the loss of diet sodas, rebelled and Congress
blocked the action. Products containing saccharin now carry a warning label
instead.
When aspartame became available in 1981, it quickly dominated the artificial
sweetener market, in part because of superior flavor and in part because of
the cancer worries.
The NIEHS also removed ethyl acrylate, a substance used in making latex
paints and textiles, from the list. Both were removed at the request of industry
groups.
The report listed 218 substances known or suspected to cause cancer in
people. The NIEHS said 14 had either been upgraded to the ``known''
category or added to the list.
Second-hand smoke topped the upgraded list.
The report, published on the Internet at http://ehis.niehs.nih.gov/roc/toc9.html,
cited reports that showed second-hand smoke can cause lung cancer, as
well as studies showing that nonsmoking wives and co-workers of smokers
have higher rates of lung cancer.
Tobacco smoke was also listed as a known cause. ``Separate chemicals
identified in tobacco smoke were already listed as carcinogens in the report,''
it said. The new listing came after 1996 revisions in the review process.
Smokeless tobacco, including chewing tobacco and snuff, were listed, as
well as consumption of alcohol, too much sun and the use of tanning beds or
sun lamps.
Alcohol has long been associated with cancers of the mouth, pharynx,
larynx, and esophagus, and there may be a link with liver and breast cancer.
Chewing tobacco and snuff can cause cancer wherever they contact the
mouth or nose.
Other substances listed included:
Crystalline silica dust small enough to breathe, a byproduct of mining
Strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid, produced in the
manufacture of alcohol, lead batteries, phosphate fertilizers, soap and
detergents, synthetic ethanol, and in pickling and other acid treatments of
metals
Dyes metabolized to benzidine
1,3-Butadiene, used to make synthetic rubber
Cadmium, used in batteries, coating and plating, plastic and synthetic
products and alloy
Ethylene oxide, used to make other chemicals and to sterilize medical
devices
Tamoxifen
``There has been concern expressed that the listing of tamoxifen ... could
raise concerns among patients regarding its use for cancer treatment or
prevention,'' the report said. It pointed out that benefits can outweigh the
risks.
Tamoxifen, made under the name Nolvadex by AstraZeneca, can increase the
risk of endometrial, or uterine, cancer. But endometrial cancer is so rare that
doctors say the higher risk is small.
Tamoxifen is the first drug to be shown to prevent breast cancer in some
women at high risk.
Substances added to the ``reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens''
list include diesel exhaust particulates, isoprene one of the components of
rubber which is also naturally emitted by plants chloroprene, phenolphthalein
-- used in some laxatives tetrafluoroethylene and trichloroethylene.

Small Changes Mean a Lot
Do you classify yourself as a "junk food junkie?" For
health or weight reasons do you now think you're ready or
you need to make some dietary changes? If you do, then it
might be important for you to start slowly and gradually
shift into a healthier lifestyle. Fast food may have been
your main menu. Try to find a fruit or juice you like and
add it to your scaled down combo meal. Experiment with
vegetables and maybe start opting for Chef or Chicken
salads. Go easy on the dressings. Take each day one at a
time so you can still enjoy your food, but make it healthy,
too. Go to the food pyramid. Have fun creating your new
lifestyle eating patterns by using guidelines from the
pyramid. It may take a while, but you can go from "junk
food" to "great food" and a better, healthier you.

Varying Your Diet
It's important to eat a variety of foods every day. Fad
diets fail because no one food or group of foods can
provide all the nutrients you need. For example, cheese has
vitamin B6 while oranges have vitamin C. Your body needs
both. Supplements can help if you really need them, but
they are not as good as the real food, and it can be
dangerous to self-prescribe even vitamins. Let your doctor
tell you what you need. To get a daily balance of foods
that provide most of your nutritional needs, go to the food
pyramid and let it be your guide.

Spaghetti Sauce Without Fat
A new way to get the creamy taste of homemade pasta sauce
without the fat is to make it with chicken broth in place
of oil.
Start with tomato paste and cook in a skillet over medium
heat until some of the liquid cooks down and it turns dark
red. Next, add a can of chicken broth in a slow stream
while constantly whisking until it boils. Simmer until
mixture is reduced to about half. This will take five to
ten minutes. At the simmering stage, you can add your
favorite Italian seasonings such as garlic, onions, herbs,
etc. Serve over pastas, meats, salads, and vegetables.
