Losing

After Bill Clinton had a heart attack, he lost a lot of weight.  I read that this was not particularly difficult for him because he has a private chef who was skilled in making things taste good while being sensitive to the need to reduce calories and carbs. 

Why doesn't the world work like this for the rest of us?

For example, I'm reading one web site which says:

  • If you are trying to lose weight, look at the calories. Comparing products can be helpful to find those lower in calories per serving.
  • To cut risk of heart disease and stroke, look at saturated and trans fats. Look for products with the lowest amount of saturated and trans fats per serving.
  • For people with high blood pressure, look at the sodium. Look for foods with less sodium.

    Which is probably right, but leaves me thinking holy hell, so watch out for everything?  And I think of those people who say Eat only plants, and not too many of those.

    I don't have a private chef. But the man in my life cooks. Does that count?

    Depends what you mean by cooking.
    To quote one of the Star Trek movies -- Can I cook, or can't I?
