My Life's Biggest Project: Tutti Fruiti
6 Exotic Fruits that are good for you: My Life's Biggest Project: Tutti Fruiti: "As my break comes to an end I would like to say that I did everything I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I had some great memories and good..."
Tutti Fruiti
As my break comes to an end I would like to say that I did everything I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I had some great memories and good times. Sometimes that's just as important. I'm getting older and I know that I'm not going to get to see those people in my life that I am oh so close to now as much the older we get, that's just how it goes. Heck I don't even know where I'll be after graduation in May so who knows how often I'll get to see family and friends at all. The big start to my last semester of graduate school starts Tuesday and that is both awesome and scary!
Another scary thing is getting my butt back on track. This break thing is over. I'm pretty much healed up from my surgery and now it is so on. I got my little P90X newsletter and it talked about six exotic fruits that are amazing for you and will also make you look super fancy if you are out and about and bust them out. I'll break it down for you so that you can be up to speed on these fruits that make me want to go hang out on a tropical resort and lay out on a beach. That may also be because I've been freezing my booty off for days and water weather is pretty much what I live for...lol. Here is your list of fruits for you by Denis Faye:
***A note from me about today's post:*** Anything in quotation was taken directly from Faye's article and the authors words should be given credit to the themselves. I didn't really feel a need to change up a lot of what Faye said as the information seemed to be pretty solid stuff and said pretty well in my opinion.
1. Pomegranates. I am so excited about the pomegranate faze that has exploded in the last few years. I myself am a hug fan as anything pomegranate is super yummy! The name pomegranate is Latin for "seeded apple," which is funny because the only thing that apples and pomegranates have in common is that they are both part of the fruit family and they both grow on trees. Beyond that you got natta.
"Pomegranates have a hard, inedible red and yellow skin. Inside, you'll find clusters of seeds protected by sweet, pulpy little deep-red pouches called arils. (Does this sound anything like an apple to you? I have no idea what the Romans were thinking,)" said Faye."Arils are the part you eat, seed and all. Despite their alien appearance, the chance that they'll sprout in your stomach and take over your consciousness is slim."
"Half an average-sized pomegranate (about 4 inches in diameter) has 117 calories, a gram and a half of fat, 2 and a half grams of protein, 26 grams of carbs, and a respectable 5 grams of fiber. It has 24 percent of the RDA for vitamin C and 13 percent of the RDA for folate. You'll also find vitamins E, K, and B6, and thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid. For minerals, you get 9 percent of the RDA for potassium and 11 percent of the RDA for copper, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, and selenium."
"There are a host of studies showing that pomegranate consumption can potentially help with everything from heart disease to dental plaque to cancer to the common cold. I'd take these studies with a grain of salt, but at the same time, there sure are a lot of them, and until someone figures out their accuracy, it's not going to hurt you to eat pomegranates."
2. Kumquats- OK so as far as this one goes, I personally am in love with the name...lol. How funny would id be if someone walked up to you and was all like, "hey what is that" and you tell them a kumquat, they simply wouldn't believe you, or they'd just laugh. I know I would haha! My new favorite word for today is kumquat (it was swagger for like a month...lol). Despite it's funny and according to Faye its "questionable name", this fruit is great for an entire family (which fruit isn't?). Kumquats are from south Asia and are considered a citrus fruit that resembles the likes of a tiny little orange. The difference is that this little citrus fruit can be eaten in its entirety. That's right! Skin and all.
"If you choose to eat a kumquat, prepare yourself for an experience. The outer skin is tasteless, but once you bite into it, the bitter juice explodes in your mouth and your face distorts into a pucker the likes of which no lemon could ever match. At this point, if you spit it out, you'll have that taste in your mouth for a while, so commit to your kumquat. After a couple of seconds, the bitterness gives way to the taste of the sweet pulp and skin and you're fine."
"Ready for another?"
"Most people settle for getting their kumquats in the form of jams and jellies, but in my opinion, that's the gutless option. Real men and women eat their kumquats whole."
"Surviving an eight-kumquat odyssey will earn you 104 calories, 1 gram of fat, 2 grams of protein, 24 grams of carbs, and 9 grams of fiber. You’ll get 112% percent of the RDA for vitamin C, as well as a little riboflavin, vitamin A, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese."
3. Asian pears - "You may know this fruit by many other names, including sand pear, nashi pear, or—if you're feeling all scientific—pyrus pyrifolia. They come from (obviously) Asia, and they basically look like big, firm apples with pear-like skin. Their flesh is crispy, grainy, and juicy. They're pear-like in taste, but not texture. They're very nonconfrontational, a great new fruit to introduce to fussy eaters." I may actually like these because I do like pears, the way they smell and if something is pear flavored, but my personal problem with them is the tecture. It's too gritty for me and kind of ruins the entire experience.
"One medium-sized fruit (about 2 and a half inches in diameter) has 51 calories, 1 gram of protein, 13 grams of carbohydrates, and 4 grams of fiber. Asian pears aren't exactly micronutrient powerhouses, but they're better than a stick in the eye. That one piece of fruit contains 8 percent of the RDA for vitamin C and 7 percent of vitamin K. You also get some vitamin E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, and pantothenic acid. For minerals, there's 4 percent of the RDA for potassium and manganese, as well as some magnesium, phosphorus, and copper."
"One large raw fig has 47 calories,12 grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of fiber. You'll also get small amounts of pretty much every vitamin and mineral around, except vitamins E and B12, selenium, and sodium."
"Figs also have a laxative effect, so if you decide they're the fruit for you and you go on a little binge, try to do so close to a restroom."
I have had a few of them, but as a fruit lover I'm sure I'll tackle on the rest. Especially now that I know all of the amazing benefits of them. Have you tried them out? What do you think about them? Let me know and I'll let you know what I think about them as I try them out!

| not really sure why there is star fruit in the picture, but the rest of it is legit, oh and minus the orange too I suppose...lol. |

For minerals, there's 4 percent of the RDA for potassium and manganese, as well as some magnesium, phosphorus, and copper."
4. Kiwifruit- I love me some kiwi! No really I do! I use to get excited when my friends and I would go to the Kettle to get breakfast buffets because they had kiwi on the fruit bar and not everywhere does. Faye says that, "Kiwifruit only became kiwifruit in 1962. Before that, these brown, fuzzy little fruits went by a variety of monikers, two of my favorites being the Chinese gooseberry and the hairy bush fruit. (I have no further comment on those names.)"
"A ripe kiwi will be firm with just the slightest give. While the skin doesn't seem all that welcoming, it's actually completely edible and loaded with fiber. That said, it's hairy and chewy, and it's understandable if you decide to skip it. Just cut your fruit across its equator and spoon out the yummy green flesh within, seeds and all."
"One medium skinless kiwifruit (about 76 grams in weight) has 46 calories, 1 gram of protein, 11 grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of fiber. It packs a real vitamin C wallop, with 117 percent of the RDA. It also has 38 percent of the RDA for vitamin K, as well as lesser amounts of vitamin A, vitamin E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, and pantothenic acid. For minerals, you'll get 7 percent of the RDA for potassium, and lesser amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and manganese."
"I don't have the nutrition facts for the a kiwifruit consumed with the skin on, but suffice it to say you'll get everything listed above plus a bunch more fiber."

5. Figs - "While just about everyone has had Fig Newtons® at some point in their life, few people have tried the fresh version of the fruit they come from" ( I certainly have not, but like those that Faye is refferring to I have had the cookie!). "Surprising, considering that every year, more than a million tons of this fruit are produced internationally. While dried figs (and Fig Newtons) are available year-round, fresh figs are in season in summer, sometimes into autumn. There are more than 150 varieties of these weird, dangly-looking things, and they're highly perishable, so eat them within a day or two of buying them. Keep them refrigerated. A good fig is plump with a little give, but not mushy. If they smell sweet, that's also a good indication that they're ready to eat."
"One large raw fig has 47 calories,12 grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of fiber. You'll also get small amounts of pretty much every vitamin and mineral around, except vitamins E and B12, selenium, and sodium."
"Figs also have a laxative effect, so if you decide they're the fruit for you and you go on a little binge, try to do so close to a restroom."
6. Persimmons- I had never heard of these until this article, but here is what I found out. "Another colorful contribution to the fruit rainbow from Asia, persimmons are commercially available in two varieties. The most readily available is the hachiya, which is shaped a little like an acorn. You need to wait until they're super-ripe and soft before they become edible."
"Conversely, fuyu persimmons resemble tomatoes in shape and are slightly orange in color. They're edible (and delicious, I might add) while still firm."
"Both varieties are typically autumn fruit."
"And here's a little fun fact for you: Persimmons, like tomatoes, are technically considered berries. Who knew? They also contain small amounts of lycopene, an essential phytochemical thought to decrease the risk of cancer."
"One hachiya persimmon has about 118 calories, 1 gram of protein, 31 grams of carbohydrates, and 6 grams of fiber. It'll give you a hearty 55 percent of the RDA for vitamin A and 21 percent of the RDA for vitamin C. There's also 8 percent of the RDA for vitamin B6, 6 percent for vitamin E, and smaller amounts of vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folate. On the mineral front, there's 30 percent of the RDA for manganese, 9 percent for copper, 8 percent for potassium, and lesser amounts of everything else but sodium.
It may take a little searching, but most of these six exotic fruits are available at your local grocery store. If you're lucky, you might even find a few of them at your local farmers' market. So put down that apple, get your exotic on, and enjoy!""Conversely, fuyu persimmons resemble tomatoes in shape and are slightly orange in color.

My Life's Biggest Project: Sabotage
My Life's Biggest Project: Sabotage: "My friend Cashen has a tendency to get somewhat obsessed with television shows. I don't mean when they are on television I mean later on. He..."
Sabotage
My friend Cashen has a tendency to get somewhat obsessed with television shows. I don't mean when they are on television I mean later on. He likes to watch them season's at a time. Last year it was all different kinds of Star Trek (all of which was kind of the same to me) and now over this winter break it has been Lost. I had never watched the show before, but I knew what it was so I was a little bit more excited about watching it.
We started it a couple weeks ago and we are now on season two thanks to Netflix. I haven't watched all of the episodes, but anything that I've missed Cash catches me up on as we watch the current episode. Well last night we were watching episode 17 I think from season two and it was entitled "Dave". Let me give you a slight recap for those of you haven't watched Lost that way you won't feel lost in today's post...lol (corney right).
OK so there's a plane crash and they end up landing on an island. Each person has their own background story that you find out about in the episodes and find out that there are some kind of connections between most of them prior to the crash. Also while on the island they are having to overcome all kind of weird things. Things like black smoke, other people on the island, and other weird stuff, not just wild animals or starvation. I have a theory that their are mechanical dinosaurs on the island, but whatever. Okie dokie to get back to the point of the post I will tell you about this episode.
There is the token over weight guy on the show named Hurley. He's very stereotypical, funny, kind, everyone likes him and he's kind of shy. Why not love the fat guy huh? Well in past episodes they have talked about how at one point Hurley was in a mental institution and we never really know why. Well this episode has flashbacks to him in the crazy house. He has one friend there that his shrink keeps telling him is trying to keep him from changing. Hurley keeps trying to lose weight, but his new friend Dave doesn't want him to change and talks him into sneaking food and things like that. Later in the episode during the flash back Hurley's shrink shows Hurley a picture that he took of he and Dave and Dave is not in the picture because Dave is not real.
So what do you know after 40+ days on the island guess who Hurley starts to see? That's right Dave. Now I'm not going to lie I was exhausted last night so I fell asleep and didn't finish the episode, but I can get the general idea. We all have a "Dave" in us. A part of ourselves who thinks well whatever I like me the way I am and I don't need to change. This is what we all self sabotaging. We think we've tried to lose weight before and failed why will it be different this time? Or we find comfort in food and really just like to eat so we don't really understand why we have to change and we have this "Dave" person in our head that tells us it is OK to think this way. Well I suggest you get rid of your Dave.
If you do care about yourself and about your future you will need to make some kind of change. Yes you may like yourself and others like you too, but it is your responsibility to yourself to make good choices and healthier decisions. Just because the results aren't coming quick doesn't mean that they won't come. It is a process and in the end you will be so proud of yourself that you will no longer need to fight self sabotage because you will have already obtained success. I wish success for you all (and for me too). So keep on going and if you hear your inner Dave telling you it's OK to eat this or that or that you don't need to change for anyone then I suggest you get online and read success stories or really think about how far you've come at this point. Your Dave is right, you don't have to change for anyone you need to change for you!
Do you have any suggestions for how to get yourself to overcome urges? What works for you? Throw me a bone? I need to know what you all are thinking?

Tighter Tiny Tummy
One thing to be said about pop culture is the over abundance of abdominals everywhere. Back when Britney Spears was at her peak you could see her abs from a mile away, why do you think she always wore shirts that showed her tummy? If I had abs like that I'd show mine off all the time too. Janet Jackson is another one of the artists who had a six pack to aspire to want. It would be there and then it would be gone. Women are for sure not the only one's rocking the flat muscle bearing stomachs. Usher is well known for his abs and with the growth in popularity of MTV's The Jersy Shore, Mike "The Situation" has made a habit of taking his shirt off all the time to expose his abs that he is so very proud of.
The thing is not only is it unhealthy to have a big gut it is also very unhealthy. Men tend to carry more weight in their stomach which is often a sign of bad health because people with more stomach fat are more suseptable to heart attacks, type 2 diabeties and other heart diseases, than those who carry their weight in other places like in their hips and thighs for example. Of course lugging around excessive fat on one's body is not healthy for anyone, but in terms of severe health problems carrying your fat in the lower body is less severe of a problem less quickly.
I understand we don't get to pick and choose where we carry our weight, but I guess I've been lucky. My BFF always laughs about how I can fake skinny if I'm sitting down and you can only see me from the waist up. If you were curious as to whether or not your middle section were too big or small I can tell you where it needs to be and you can figure out where you need to go from there. According to the Mayo clinic a man's waist should be 40 inches or below and a woman's waistline should be 35 inches or below.
Some of the suggestions to getting a smaller waist should be to cut way back on your alcohol intake. I can vouch for this. I never had much of a tummy until after I started drinking beer. Not that it was a daily occurance, but it certainly makes a different about where you carry your weight, or at least I can vouch for the fact that it did in my case. The other suggestion given by the Mayo clinic is for one to do at least 30 minutes of intense cardio a day as well as eating the right foods. Your goal by no means has to be to get a Britney or Usher six pack, but to get a smaller midsection would be beneficial to you long term. But then again think how hot it would be to rock awesome abs. I'd be proud :)
Let me know what you think and if you have any tips to a tiny midsection I'd love to hear it!!!
