Treated myself to just one perfect scoop of Moevenpick's Limited Edition Dulce de Leche ice cream for crossing the 87kg threshold today! (40gm; 100 Cal)

Amazing that there is an encouraging trend in the weight-loss despite a challenging day yesterday - Gipfeli (Swiss Croissant) and fine biscuits (in moderation!) as well as a sumptuous lunch at a day-long workshop; wine, dry meat from Grison and nuts with good friends; a not-so-calorie-conscious dinner with another set of friends....
Did, however manage to escape for a 20-minute stroll along the Rhine after lunch (including a steep 283-step climb)!
Blood sugar is unforgiving and reflects yesterday's prodigal diet immediately this morning!

Following up on Mardee57's suggestion of Dr. Joel Fuhrman's "Eat to Live", this is what I found out on "High Nutrient Eating".
The principle is to focus on the micro-nutrient content rather than the calories, per se, which are dictated overwhelmingly by the macro-nutrients (carbs, fats, proteins). Micro-nutrients boost cellular efficiency and repair, strengthen the immune system, prevent and treat health conditions, and generally promote superior health.
While there is a whole list of food sources with high micro-nutrient content per calorie (kale, watercress, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, onion, mushrooms, pomegranates, etc.), I found the following acronym very handy:
Green-BOMBS:
- Greens
- Berries
- Onions
- Mushrooms
- Beans
- Seeds
Let's strive to include Green-BOMBS in our diet every day!

I just came across the "Metabolic Enhancing Effect", which is promoted by Beyond Diet. Their strategy rests on five pillars:
1. Counting calories is NOT the best strategy.
2. Sugar is the #1 culprit for all the times a diet failed; watch out for "hidden" sugar!
3. Processed foods contain three deadly ingredients that torpedo weight-loss plans.
4. Carbs are not bad - the issue is to distinguish between the good and bad!
5. Eating specific kinds of fat is the ticket to weight loss.
Constant blood sugar is important - high blood sugar and the insulin it triggers work to store fat rather than expend fat! Hence, multiple smaller meals a day can be a useful practice to maintain blood sugar levels.
Good carbs: bread from sprouted grains, wild rice, coconut flakes, quinoa, millet, spelt, non-wheat pasta, some cereals and all vegetables
Bad carbs: white and whole-wheat bread, white and whole-wheat pasta, muesli, processed carbs such as cakes, cookies, crackers and chips
Good fats: butter , egg, coconut oil, olive oil, nuts and avocado
Bad fats: oil, margerine, butter replacements
Metabolism enhancing foods: (grass-fed) beef, salmon, sweet potatoes, bacon, dark chocolate, coconut oil, butter and avocado.
