Nu har jag beställt Ease White tandblekningsmedel. Frågan är om a) tänderna blir vita och b) om man får ilningarna från helvetet… Ska köpa sensodyn…
Elvis återkommer med betyg
BBCs klassiker från 1995 Pride and Prejudice är grunden för Jane Austens filmsuccéer, 2005 kom en inte helt pjåkig version med Kiera Knightley men det finns ju en hel hög BBC produktioner (och andra) med hennes övriga verk; Emma, Sence and sensibility, Mansfield Park etc. som är ganska trevliga, om än inte Colin-Firth-bra. Sedan har vi biografierna om Jane själv som har sin charm men inte kommer i närheten av meta-Austen i populärkulturen, the Jane Austen bookclub, Mr Darcy i Bridget Jones dagbok, Emma i modern tappning genom Cluless och nu det senaste Lost in Austen!
Lost in Austen handlar om drömmen om att vara i Jane Austens värld och hur det krockar med vårt moderna samhälle… Funny ha ha och romantiskt! Och några scener som verkligen stod ut; kyssen där mannen backar med chock över att en kvinna tar initiativet, Mr Darcy i sjön och förändringen av en karaktärs sexualitet i storyn… förklarar en del som utlämnas av Austen!
Elvis ger Lost in Austen 4 solfjädrar
En vecka in i min nya livsstil. Jag har detoxat färdigt från kaffe, är fortfarande alkoholfri, äter gott och har på två veckor gått ner ca 2kg!
Mailpremumerationen från McKenna:
From the desk of Paul McKenna:
How would you like to eat whatever you want whenever you want and still lose weight?
I know that seems like an outrageous claim, and it’s true. Two independent research studies into the effectiveness of my system have shown that people who learn and apply my system have a 71% success rate.
In this e-course, I’ll be introducing you to my four golden rules for losing weight forever. They may seem simple, or even simplistic. You may think they seem too good to be true. In fact, much of what I say will fly in the face of what you’ve done in the past and what you think is “right”.
But no matter what you’ve tried before, it’s time to do something radically different. The exact same approach that I am about to share with you has helped thousands and thousands of people to lose weight easily and feel significantly better about themselves.
Now , I want you to imagine something new…
Imagine yourself tuning into your body and noticing you’re a little bit hungry. In the past, you might have ignored this sensation, but now you’ve learned to respect it. You ask your body what it wants and needs. To your amazement, it asks for a small bowl of pasta with a salad. (You were sure it was going to be chocolate cake and ice cream, weren’t you?)
Resisting the urge to skip the pasta, you sit down for a wonderful, peaceful meal. Stopping to smell your food between each mouthful, you enjoy indulging in the sensations of the warm pasta melting in your mouth before sliding easily down your throat. Each bite of salad crunches in your mouth, and you can taste the water-rich juice from the lettuce and cucumber with every mouthful. Delicious!
Down towards the bottom of the bowl, you realize you are comfortably full. Imagine the sense of pride as you push away the rest of the bowl, knowing you are now in full control…
Was that easy for you to imagine? Did it feel a bit strange?
I want you to know that was no idle daydream. This is the promise of my system. As you apply the four golden rules I will be sharing with you over the rest of this e-course, you will not only begin to lose weight. You will begin to change your life for the better.
And in the end, wouldn’t you rather be thin *and* happy than however it is you find yourself now?
Did you know that starving yourself can actually make you fat?
In a famous study into human starvation, biological researcher Ancel Keyes discovered that reducing people’s diet to a state of semi-starvation produced symptoms of irritability, loss of endurance and obsessive behavior around food, including but not limited to lying, hoarding and stealing.
Even more telling, in the three-month period after the semi-starvation was ended and people could once again eat whatever they wanted, their obsession with food continued. Many people ate up to eight times as much food as they had done before the study began.
What I find most interesting about this study is that the “semi-starvation” rations from the original study amounted to about 1500 calories a day – more than is allowed in any number of the thousands of diets and weight loss systems currently in vogue.
Does any of this sound familiar? Starving yourself, obsessing about food, losing weight only to pile it back on again the second you go off your diet?
What all this goes to show is that depriving yourself of food is the worst possible way to lose weight. And if what you’re doing isn’t working, you need to do something different.
That’s why the first golden rule is this:
When you’re hungry, eat.
I still remember the first time I shared this golden rule with one of my private clients. She was shocked!
“If I did that,” she told me, “I’d never stop.”
Isn’t it funny that some people are such experts on what they’ve never done?
It’s time to end the self-inflicted torture of diets and semi-starvation rations and learn to listen to your body instead!
Make this commitment today:
I, ________________, promise myself that for at least the next 2 weeks, I will eat whenever I’m hungry no matter how I feel about it.
You will be amazed at the changes that begin occurring simply by following this one simple guideline. But when you put it together with the other three golden rules, everything begins to slot into place even more easily…
It always makes me laugh when I hear some weight-loss company proudly trumpeting that their system is “not a diet”, only to then go on to tell you exactly which foods you can and can’t eat, how much of each food to eat, and sometimes even what time of day you’re supposed to eat them.
It seems to me that if someone else is telling you what you can or can’t put into your body, that’s the very definition of a diet.
My system is different. There are NO forbidden foods because no one knows more about what your body needs than – you guessed it – your body!
As you begin to apply the four golden rules in your life, you will be amazed at how much clearer your body begins communicating with you about exactly what it wants and needs to be optimally healthy, thin and fit.
That’s why the second golden rule is this:
Eat what you want, not what you think you should.
Cake and ice cream calling to you?
Go for it.
Fancy a bit of pasta?
As long as you’re actually hungry (remember golden rule number one?), enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
Think about it. As soon as you tell yourself not to eat certain foods, you upset the natural balance of your relationship with them. Rather than wanting it less, that “forbidden food” instantly becomes more attractive.
This inner battle between your positive intention and your resistance to being controlled (even by yourself) can be exhausting. But as you begin to make peace with food and learn to listen to the wisdom of your body, you experience freedom from the tension and guilt that come from NOT following your intuition.
From this day forward, nothing is off-limits to you. Ever.
And if you really want to say “NO” to something, say it to the purveyors of sugar-free low-carb cardboard-tasting crap!
Have you ever wondered why so many people respond to stress, boredom or emotional upset in their lives by eating?
Strange as it may seem, there is a very good reason for that. Whenever we do something that is essential for our survival, like eating, breathing deeply or making love, we release a “happy chemical” in our brains called serotonin.
People who are overweight often shovel food into their mouths as quickly as possible in order to get a serotonin high, temporarily offsetting the effects of stress in their lives. Unfortunately, because they are eating unconsciously, they never notice the signal from their stomach that lets them know they are full. So they keep on stuffing their faces, expanding their stomachs and putting on weight.
Bring on golden rule number three:
Eat CONSCIOUSLY and enjoy every mouthful
There are two keys to making this work for you over the next few weeks:
1. Eliminate Distractions
Change your eating habits by making each time you sit down to eat special. No TV, no radio, no reading while you eat. Simply concentrate on your food and the pleasure that eating it is giving you. (If it’s not giving you pleasure, chances are you either aren’t hungry or aren’t eating what your body REALLY wants. Remember, each of these golden rules work together to create a system – the simplest weight loss system in the world!)
2. Slow down
I want you to slow your eating speed down to about a quarter of what it used to be and chew each mouthful thoroughly. Smell your food before each bite. Put your knife and fork down between every mouthful, so you can really give your body time to notice what it’s doing. If you’re not using cutlery, prise your fingers off your sandwich and put it down between each bite. When your mouth is empty, you can pick up where you left off.
In this way, you make every bite a conscious choice, eating your food like a gourmet and savoring every mouthful instead of shoveling it in on automatic like a barnyard animal!
The natural design of the human body is to eat when we’re hungry and stop when we’re satisfied, but many of us are conditioned to eat until whatever food we put on our plate is gone.
To lose weight effortlessly and keep it off, you must begin working with your body and not against it. To get slim and stay slim we need to re-sensitize ourselves to our “inner thermostat” so we can stop eating when we’re full and feel good for the rest of the day.
That’s why the fourth golden rule is this:
When you think you are full, STOP eating
When I teach this on my seminars, there is invariably one person who starts to panic and say, “But what if I’m hungry again ten minutes later?”
The answer is very simple: if you’re hungry, EAT. However, you must eat what you actually want, not what you think you should; eat CONSCIOUSLY and enjoy every mouthful, and then when you even suspect you are full, STOP.
Here is a simple tool you can use to guide you:
Becoming aware of what your body needs and wants is like a muscle – the more you use your awareness, the stronger it gets. When it comes to knowing when enough is enough, you’ll want to stop eating at around 6 or 7 on the hunger scale – when you are feeling pleasantly satisfied or full.
If you simply avoid the extreme areas of the scale – always eating before you become physically faint or ravenous and always stopping before you become stuffed, bloated or nauseous, you will find you begin to notice your body’s signals loud and clear and you will be able to trust yourself around food forever more!
And so we come to the end of this e-course – and the beginning of a life where you are in full control of your body and what you do (and don’t!) put into it.
There’s so much more I’d like to share with you – the secrets of overcoming emotional eating, how to eliminate cravings forever, simple ways to supercharge your metabolism and so much more.
But more than any of that, I’d like to offer you support – the kind of support that combines quality scientific information, easy to use techniques, gentle coaching when you need it most, and a community of like-minded people who are each committed to not only losing weight but transforming their relationship with their bodies and their lives.
In working with over one million people on their weight loss issues over the years, the one thing I’ve learned that often makes the difference between success and failure is a bit of simple structure – regular check ins with people who care about you and re-enforcement of some basic ideas again and again over time until they become a part of who you are.
That’s why I’ve created the Paul McKenna Weight Loss Club, and that’s why I’d like to make you this very special offer:
Join the club for just one month and use it to jumpstart your own weight loss goals. If you’re not completely satisfied, I’ll give you your money back – no questions asked.
If you have already begun to recognize that this system is the long awaited answer to your weight loss hopes and dreams, join us for six months at the discounted price of less than $10 a month – that’s only 30 cents a day for all the support, information and structure you could possibly need or use.
Please know that wherever you are in your life right now, there are people around you who care about you – there is always hope, and it’s never too late to change for good.
When I first created this system and put it to the test, some people seemed to get better results than others. Curious about what it was, I asked a number of the success stories about anything they were doing above and beyond following the four golden rules.
To my surprise, they almost all were doing one thing consistently – drinking more water!
Our bodies are made up of roughly 75% water, and that percentage increases to nearly 85% in the all-important area of brain tissue. When the inner mechanism in our body that regulates water levels senses any sort of current or impending shortage, your body goes into selective water rationing mode.
According to Dr F. Batmanghelidj, author of the groundbreaking work Your Body’s Many Cries for Water, many of the aches and pains that people experience on a daily basis, including hunger, are actually the preliminary effects of dehydration.
Because it’s virtually impossible to tell the difference between this “thirst signal” and authentic hunger, it’s a good idea to make your first response to hunger pangs a fresh glass of water. If you’re not hungry afterwards, it was thirst; if you still are, dig in!

Om hela världen reducerades till en by med 100 innevånare och alla proportioner bibehölls så bestod byn av:
57 asiater
21 européer
14 amerikaner (från Nord- och Sydamerika)
8 afrikaner
52 var kvinnor
48 män
70 ickekristna
30 kristna
89 heterosexuella
11 homosexuella
6 personer skulle inneha och nyttja 59 % av alla gemensamma tillgångar och de 6 personerna kom från USA
80 hade otillräckliga boendeförhållanden
70 var analfabeter
50 var undernärda, 1 döende, 2 föddes och 1 hade en dator.
1 och bara en har en akademisk examen.
Om man betraktar världen på detta sätt så påvisas nödvändigheten av samhörighet, förståelse, acceptans och utbildning för alla.
Om Du vaknar i morgon, frisk och icke-sjuk, så är Du lyckligare lottad än 1 miljon människor som inte kommer att leva nästa vecka.
Om Du inte har upplevt ett krig, inte upplevt hunger, fångenskapens ensamhet eller dödskampens smärta så är Du lyckligare lottad än 500 miljoner människor här på jorden.
Om det finns mat i Ditt kylskåp, om Du har ett jobb, om Du har tak över huvudet och en säng att sova i, då är Du rikare än 75 % av innevånarna på jorden. Har Du ett konto på en bank, lite pengar i börsen och småslantar i en ask, då tillhör Du de rikaste 8 % av jordens innevånare.
Om Du läser detta så är Du mångdubbelt gynnad, för
1. Du tillhör inte de 2 miljarder människor som inte kan läsa
2. Du har en dator

Jag zappade in på Paul McKenna will make you thin och tänkte pröva…
Regler:
1. Ät när du är hungrig!
2. Ät vad du vill!
3. Ät medvetet (tugga långsamt och lägg ner besticken medan du tuggar) och känn all smak!
4. När du är mätt- Sluta äta! Känn av kroppens signaler.
Vatten: Om småhungrig/ sugen, drick ett glas vatten- det kan vara törst.
Lämna alltid kvar någonting på tallriken.
Craving/ matsug: TFT (Thought Feld Therapy); tänk på det man känner sig ledsen/orolig för/matsug, gradera känslan på en skala av 1-10 och tappa 10gånger på följande punkter: ovanför ögat, underögat, på nyckelbenet. Klappa 5 gånger på handryggen. Tappa 10 gånger övanför ögat och 10 gånger under ögat. Gradera känslan på nytt.
Vision: Försök att varje dag föreställa dig hur du ser ut, känner dig och mår när du är några kilo lättare och kliv in i den bilden. Föreställ dig hur du ser u, mår och känner dig i din indealvikt och kliv in i den bilden.
Vägning: Vänta 3 veckor med att väga dig, ingen vägning varje dag, känn hur kläderna sitter istället.

Vi får se, utvärdering kommer…
Husbilssemester, bra eller anus?
Scenario: Älskling och jag, för första gången i en husbil, åker till Nordjylland.
Plan: Avslappnad semester med några utstakade punkter och att ta dagen som den kommer.
Måndag- båt Varberg-Grenå (billigaste ölen under hela semestern!) och Ebeltoft som var OTROLIGT pittoreskt, vackert och hade mycket god rökt fisk i hamnen.
Tisdag: Museet på Psykiatrisk Hospital i Århus (helt fantastisk konst och stort!) där favoriterna var Valdemar Schönheyder Møller med denna underbara tavla som bokstavligt bländar en:
och Michael Høgholm (djupet och komplexiteten kräver att man ser den live)
samtidigt som det mest skrämmande var Ovartaci med sina karakteristiska ”egyptiska katt-kvinnor”…
En liten promenad i Århus C och vidare till Himmelsbjerget- Danmarks högsta ”berg”… 147m… men vackra natursköna vyer.
Onsdag: Drive till Skagen (via Fredrikshamn som var en trevlig liten stad) och Grenen!! Helt underbart vackert med vit sand, turkost hav, blå himmel och solen som glittrade i vågorna.
Grillning på stranden i solnedgången (fiskaffär finns bara EN gång i veckan i Skagen… WHAT?!?) och besök i Skagen by där vi letade efter någon mysig pub… men byn bestod av 20 kebab- och pizzahak med neonljus… (WHAT?!?)
Torsdag:Sightseeing i Skagen med översandad Kyrka (inte så spännande) och sandmilen (helt fantastiskt, som vilken öken som helst…). Vidare söderut längs västkusten och paus vid en strand.
Fredag:Sola på Vigsö strand, i närheten av Hanstholm, som av oklar anledning är beströdd med stora betongblock
och sedan vidare till ön Mors i Limfjorden, lite naturvandring och slutligen övernattning 7m från stranden.
Lördag:Hemväg genom Danmark, lunchpaus på Fyn med promenad i slottspark.
Övernattning:Ok, lite knöligt men utsikten varje kväll vägde upp mycket.
Matlagning: Ok, pyttelitet kök men grillat är gott!
Hygien:Kalldusch och (om man använde den vilket vi inte gjorde) en toalett som behövde tömmas (visserligen ett rör så att man inte behövde se eller vara nära, men ändå..).
Mysfaktor:Fantastiska naturupplevelser, solnedgångar vid stranden och bara vara tillsammans.
Körning:Man kör ett skåp som med lite god vilja kommer upp i 110km/h… Funkar bra på korta sträckor (som Nordjylland faktiskt har- Danmark är ett lilleputtland) men man bör undvika viadukter och lågt hängande grenar…
Ekonomi: Samma prisklass som stughyrning eller charter.
Totalupplevelse:Själva körupplevelsen och lådkänslan var väl inte toppen men naturen och att ha gjort någonting totalt utanför ens normala ram var härligt!
