Heard recently that all your weight is lost through your breath… This article says

“There is surprising ignorance and confusion about the metabolic process of weight loss, the correct answer is that most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide, it goes into thin air.”

I have read that it really doesn’t help to do breathing tricks to lose weight, but I am tempted to try this:

The Long Breath Diet claims to blow the weight away

I may buy this book and see what it says first…

Obviously I wouldn’t stop counting calories but if it helps, why not?

[amazon template=iframe image&asin=B00FLYWNYQ] I bought the electric pressure cooker to the left (again an affiliate link) a few weeks ago.  I had been wanting a pressure cooker for some time but never pulled the trigger.  But one day, Amazon in it’s infinite wisdom sent me a daily deal on this one… I got it for $99 which is a great price.  When it arrived it was a lot sturdier than I expected, I mean it looks like a big rice cooker… but it’s really well built… a quick cleaning and reading of the instructions and I ran it through a test of just water to see if it worked and to finish the cleaning out…

The first thing we tried was a whole chicken with a lemon sauce… and the first attempt was.. a failure.. I think we didn’t have enough liquid in the cooker.. the chicken wasn’t cooked through.. we finished it off in the oven and fixed the sauce a bit.. after that it was good… but I was anxious to try again.

Since then we have been very successful… we have cooked, beef stew, loaded potato soup, green beans with smoked beef neck meat and pork necks that we made into pork and gravy… all of those went off without a hitch.  I have been gathering many recipes and will continue to try them out.

It’s easy to use and seems to work well so I give it an A!
