Jessica Simpson’s Body Isn’t Bouncing Back Like A Supermodel

Jessica Simpson has resorted to slow-paced walks in her attempts to shed her baby weight as her bigger breasts prevent her from running.

The singer gave birth to a daughter named Maxwell in May, her first child with fiance Eric Johnson, and she subsequently signed up as the new spokesperson for the WeightWatchers diet plan to lose the excess pounds.

Simpson admits shaping up as a new mom has been more difficult than she imagined as her weight gain means she can’t do any strenuous exercise.

She tells USA Today, “I let myself indulge in everything I wanted because it was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it. I wanted to be happy and eat what I wanted. I didn’t realize it (the weight) didn’t all come off with the baby…

“I’ve lost weight every single week. (I am) eating less of everything (but) I don’t believe in completely depriving yourself. … My boobs are way too big to run at this point. I’m just walking. … We take Maxwell out a lot.”

However, Simpson refuses to obsess about her waistline, adding, “My weight has always been something that people like to comment on. … Nobody wants to talk about their weight. For me, I have had to come to a place where I am comfortable with myself.

“I’m a mom now, and get to be a role model for this beautiful little girl. … I’m not a supermodel. My body is not bouncing back like a supermodel. I’m just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiancé and herself.”

McDonald’s Plans To Open Vegeterian Restaurant

Wow, talk about shocking!!! Can you believe McDonald’s is planning to swap the burgers for potato sandwiches when it opens two new vegetarian restaurants in India next year?

That’s right, we said, “VEGETARIAN”

McDonald’s already keeps beef and pork products off the menu in India where a majority of the population are Hindus and Muslims. McDonald’s sells Chicken McNuggets and fish burgers in its regular Indian outlets although its traditional beef burgers aren’t available. The cow is sacred to religious Hindus, who don’t eat beef.

The attempt to draw religious Indians shows how the Golden Arches is boosting sales by catering to local tastes outside its home market. The vegetarian restaurants will include offerings such as the McAloo Tikki burger, a sandwich with a mashed-potato patty and the Pizza McPuff, a vegetable and cheese pastry,

India, the world’s second most populous nation, is important for McDonald’s as it increases sales overseas. The country’s large population, growing urbanization and increasing number of people joining the workforce may help the fast-food industry expand from 47 billion rupees ($840 million) in 2010 to to 146 billion rupees in 2014, according to estimates by researcher RNCOS E-Services Pvt.

Wednesday’s World Premiere Video: Bake Bethesda a Pie!

The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic presents the roving red tomato carpet at the 3rd Annual ‘Bake Bethesda a Pie’ Contest at Central Farm Market in Bethesda, MD.  His goal is to show people living with, at risk and affected by diabetes that having diabetes doesn’t prevent you from enjoying a wide variety of foods. Learn to eat well-balanced meals in the correct amounts, stay fit, and take your prescribed medications, and you can thrive with diabetes.

Special guest, Kathy Gold RN, MSN, CDE, Director of Outreach and Education at the Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation in Washington, DC helps to raise awareness for diabetes in a fun and glamorous new way.

Over the Labor Day weekend, thirty-three fruit and veggie loving amateur bakers brought their best efforts —ranging from butterscotch and fig to peach and prosciutto, with lots of berry pies in between.

In the blind tasting, judges Joseph Poupon of Patisserie Poupon, Catherine Gewertz of CurvyMama Pies and Carole Sugarman from Bethesda Magazine rated each pie numerically on appearance, taste and overall impression. Prizes were awarded to all the winners but the event is also a fundraiser for the Manna Food Center, Montgomery County’s food bank. #centralfarmmarkets
