In this episode, I look back at the month of May to see the achievements that I’ve made. During the month of May, I lost 14 pounds and I lost 3.5 inches around my waistline!
Not only that, but since I kept a great log of my step counts, I thought it was impressive that I walked 289,800 steps which turns out to be approximately 145 miles.
I shared some thoughts from an article that my good friend, Richard Emblem, sent over to me. The article is titled How soup can help you lose weight.
Richard tells me that medical journalist Michael Mosley investigated the latest scientific breakthroughs in slimming and that he uncovered ten of the simplest ways you can shed those pounds.
1 Don’t skip meals
2 Use smaller plates
3 Count calories
4 Don’t blame your “metabolism”
5 Protein staves off hunger pangs
6 Soup keeps you feeling fuller for longer than solid food
7 The wider the choice the more you eat
8 Low-fat dairy products help excrete more fat from all your food
9 Exercise goes on burning calories when you’ve stopped – even while you sleep
10 Keep moving even in the home or at work to lose weight
I also mention the blog post titled “Eating Healthy Has A Made All The Difference” that I posted this weekend. In that post, I share the types of foods that I’ve been eating lately that have allowed me to lose so much weight and not feel like I was depriving myself.
Erik Fisher had asked if were a non iPhone calorie counting app for the non iPhone user. I did find a program called Diet Controller for Mac, Windows, or Linux users as well as a program from Calorie King for Windows users. They are expensive in comparison to the iPhone apps though.
However, a quick Google Search for “online calorie journal” turned up a few online solutions. Some are free, some have membership fees. Here are three you might want to review.

Jenny H. sent in an email telling me about an audio lecture titled “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers.” It’s a part of the Stanford University’s Healthy Living series on iTunes University.
I’ll let you listen for full details on all of the above and and the few other things that I’ve covered in this episode.
