Fat Visual
 

I was reading on the JC site of a visual that is used to help lay off the fattening foods!

Did you know that 1 pound of fat looks like about 4 sticks of butter or margarine or 1 one-pound can of vegetable shortening? YUCK!!!! Visualize that when you are tempted to eat too much!

Man, that is enough to make you wanna puke!!

Anita I will use this visual I thinkI'll write it down and put it on my fridge like "1 pound = 1 can shortening/4sticks butter"

Did you have to use butter???? I love butter......now ya ruined it for me!!! lol

Phyllis

I think thats a good thing Phyllis! LOL

My mom always told me that about picturing a lb of butter when I was losing slowly so even though it was slow when I pictured 2 lbs of butter I could picture the 2 lbs of fat that i had lost! What a wonderful smart women she was. Wendy

Just noticed the topic of this thread and thought you'd like another visual - this is from our moderator Ilene's signature...

5 lbs of Fat vs. 5 lbs of Muscle

Has anyone every had a look at this....Fat -vs- Muscle Picture ... to me it's a real turn off :barf: ... and makes me think twice about eating certain foods...

OOOPSS... Hi Karen :wave: Great minds think alike, I hadn't seen your post...

I printed it and my color ink is low and the muscle came out green - looks like a corn husk! LOL Thanks all- great visuals! Fat really does look like crisco - YUCK!
