Santa Goes Low Carb!
by: Jan McCracken
North Pole- The word is out! Due to an "unpublished
dilemma" last Christmas Eve Santa has gone Low Carb!
Sources reveal that Santa was stuck in a chimney
somewhere in
California for over an hour last Christmas Eve - how embarrassing! The
incident certainly wreaked havoc with his jolly schedule for the most
important night of the year. In the aftermath, it caused Santa to
really stop and think.
After careful consideration - Santa and Mrs. Claus
decided
they could not risk a repeat of the incident, but more importantly the
risk factors associated with Santa's health - oh my! Right after the
holidays, Santa visited his primary care physician for a complete
physical. A "new lifestyle" was decided upon - It's the "Low Carb
Lifestyle" for Santa!
Santa has Changed His Mind - Changed His Heart - and is
Losing
Weight for Life! Will this make Santa "less jolly"? Absolutely not! Fat
is not what makes Santa jolly! His weight goals are not to be a skinny
"Twiggy Santa" but rather a "healthy weight Santa" with less inches
(for some VERY obvious reasons). The keyword here though for Santa is:
HEALTH!
Our sources tell us that Santa has more energy than
ever, his
creativity and staying power seem to be at an all time high! He has
hired more elves this season just to keep up with him! The jolly fellow
is even less stressed this season.
The absence of stress seems to be relative to the fact
that
his chances of losing his jolly lifestyle to diabetes, heart disease
and obesity have been considerably reduced by his new choice of a
healthy eating lifestyle! Santa has serious work to do and HEALTH has
become his priority!
In fact, our elf resource reported that we are going to
see a
big shift in "stocking stuffers" this Christmas. Huge orders are being
received and warehoused at the North Pole for "sugar free" candies and
low carb treats! Santa's sleigh is going to look like a "sugar free
zone" this year!
With Christmas quickly approaching, as Santa's inches
have
dropped away, the "sewing elves" are working round the clock in
altering Santa's RED wardrobe!
So this Christmas watch for an even "more jolly" Santa
and
just a "little less" of him but a much healthier and happier Santa
'cause he's gone Low Carb!
And..."Laying his finger aside of his nose and giving a
nod, up the chimney he [easily] rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And
away
they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere
he drove out of sight,"HAPPY [LOW CARB] CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A
GOOD-NIGHT!"

Staying Healthy on a Low Carbohydrate Diet
by: Marjorie Geiser
It is estimated that about 32 million Americans are following some type of low carbohydrate diet. This is the result of fad diet authors claiming that carbohydrates are the cause for America’s rising obesity problems. The backlash against carbohydrates is a result of the low fat craze that started in the 80’s.When consumers started cutting down their fat intake, manufacturers figured out that they could create low fat processed food products that the public would buy. Because these products claimed to be ‘fat free’, Americans didn’t pay attention to the fact that they were not also ‘calorie free’, and as a result, the total amount of daily calories has slowly been increasing.
