A word of warning if you're even a little bit overweight and planning a vacation: cross Peru off your list of potential destinations! Word has it there's a Peruvian gang, known as “Pishtacos,” that has been killing people in the jungle and draining their corpses for the fat.  The price for a gallon of fat on the black market?  A whopping $60,000! 

Certainly it would be nice if we could all just bottle up our excess fat and sell it, but—alas—we're relegated to getting rid of excess pounds the old-fashioned way: healthy eating and exercise.

With the holidays here, we know it's harder than usual to keep to your Ideal Protein plan.  Here's a little challenge for you:  wouldn't it be nice if you could drop 10 pounds by the start of the new decade? 

Yup, that's right.  We're not just coming to the end of a year—we're coming to the end of a decade (the decade Time Magazine just dubbed “The Decade From Hell” btw). So when those holiday cakes and cookies beckon, think of 2010 and nibble on celery sticks of cauliflower instead. 

Start now, and dropping 10 (or even 20) by 2010 is well within reach.  Before you know it, you'll by skinny enough to venture to Peru and not end up as a component in someone's anti-wrinkle cream! 

Thinking of you,

Teri
