Popcorn at the Movies :(
Hi Diane!
Sorry to hear about your episode at the movies with pop corn.
I absolutely am crazy about popcorn and my entire life never attended a
movie without it. Especially with the real butter.
After going on ER4YT, I tried to find substitutes.
The best solution I have come up with is this:
I make sure that I eat an average size meal with meat and vegatables with
oil and lots of seasonings about 45-260 minutes before the show.
Then I sneal Macadamia nuts into the movie with me.
Macadamia nuts are high enough in fat to help me resist the popcorn and
chocolate that smelts so-o-o-o-o-o good in the theater.
There should be a law against making avoids smell so delicious.
The credit for this idea goes to Dr. Atkins. I had put some weight on
that I could not take off and decided to give his induction diet a try.
He also came up with the farmer’s soda of seltzer and cream.
Which I don’t recommend unless someone is desperate. I used it in an
emergency in the mall when I didn’t want to buy chocolate at Godiva, but I
find since I have eliminated dairy, I feel much, much better without it.
I also read what he does with people who are extremely resistant to losing
weight — they have alternating meals of macadamia nuts and cream cheese.
(I don’t eat dairy or gums of any sort, so it is a good thing that I am
starting to lose weight.)
The jars are small and expensive, $3.50 or 3.99 or something like that.
When I openned the jar I thought “Oh, I won’t even notice this tiny amount
in my stomach.” I wasn’t half way through the jar when all of a sudden I
felt full.
Dr. Atkins has some very interesting comments about the second shot of
insulin hitting the blood at 75 minutes, so he says if you are going to
break the diet be sure you finish those carbs within an hour to limit the
damage to your fat metabolism.
Interesting reading.
Good luck!

Hi Fay,
Can you explain more how this works. I thought that macadamia nuts were an
avoid but I could be wrong.
