[font size="4"]Chuck Norris takes a stand against eggnog[/font]
Researchers who questioned 2,000 Britons on their holiday travel and diet discovered that the following were the top seven destinations for weight gain over a two-week period.
Whether youre visiting our great country or a citizen of it, here are my Top 7 tips for navigating around our culture of calories at any holiday food festivity, especially those oft-invited Christmas parties...
When you enter a party and are offered a drink, start with water, not an alcohol drink, since it can be an appetite stimulant. Drinking a bottle of water before you eat will not only replenish your body with the H20 it needs, but also fills your stomach, makes you less hungry and will even help you lose weight, according to scientists from Virginia Tech reporting in the journal Obesity.
If you can win the temptation round at the hors doeuvre table, youre well on your way to consumption victory. So fight there to fill your small plate with healthy appetizers, like vegetables carrots, edamame, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli or celery with a little organic peanut butter
Lastly, consider only drinking water or coffee after dinner, and pass up the eggnog, and youll spare yourself hundreds of additional calories... One cup of eggnog has 343 calories! It takes 2,100 continual jumping jacks to burn off 8 ounces of eggnog!
I have to say, I'm more than a little disappointed in Chuck Norris, not only in failing to take a stand against rampant anti-violencism breaking out in this country, but in actually resorting to the use of fancy and untranslateably French phrases like hors doeuvre and edamame. What the fuck, Chuck?
Americas of the nonthinking variety are turning to you, waiting for you to tell us more about how arming America's bus drivers, first graders, and possibly class's pet tarantulas will prevent the next school shooting. Or perhaps, now that church Christmas displays are underfire too, we need to arm up all of the country's "target pools"--like grocery stores, skate parks, bus stops, and of course Target stores.
Why the silence, Chuck? Why aren't you speaking your mind? I'm sure you've got a well-wrought opinion waiting to enlighten us with. Must we rely on your impressive oeuvre of national security primers to know whether we should focus on gun control or expanding the circulation of weapons to keep our streets and living rooms safer.
In all Chuck Norris's hostage rescues, the gunmen, after siezing control of their hostages (screaming women and children, natch), will usually stop, hold still, and look around helplessly, wondering what's going on while the trained SEALs, black berets, Rangers, or karate school misfits go about taking out the perimeter guards. It's in that moment, the 3-4 minutes when determined nihilistic terrorists of vaguely olive complexion (depending on whom we've bombed most recently) stand about in the middle of the room, when a trained cop, firefighter, theater usher, deacon, line chef, or school guidance counselor can spring into action and take out the bad guys with a flying scissor kick. As I understand it, standard terrorist and lone gun-nut procedure is to then line up and wait to be taken down one at a time by a First Responder of sufficient sex appeal a/o hirsuiteness.
<== Hirsuiteness, definitely the hirsuiteness
It all seems so easy when you explain it, Chuck. I should buy a Total Gym, maybe, just to keep busy until you come out and tell us how you think we can all be safer. Or maybe I could work on my lunges.

Yes, I realize he takes himself seriously, which only proves my point.

Bruce Lee was the real deal.

(26,262 posts)If I chose my food/drink by how many pushups it took to burn it off, well, kind of takes the enjoyment out of eating. Moderation for most of the year allows for indulging during the holidays.
