Losing Weight: How To Get Started
The first thing you need to do is transform your mind. Think about how you can implement needed changes in your life right now.
Think about why you want to lose weight. The why shouldn’t ever be because of someone else. The why has to be because of you.
What Can You Eat: Meal Solutions
There’s two ways to look at it: If you want to be really ambitious, which is the preferred way to go, you need to cut out some things that make it easier to put on weight. That means:
- No sugar
- Cut down on carbs
- Increase water intake
Photo credit: E / Unsplash You want to eat a high-protein breakfast, low carbs for lunch and a lite dinner. Include plenty of herbs and spices like turmeric. Here some healthy options you can eat to lose weight:
Healthy Protein To Eat
- Tuna
- Salmon
- Baked Chicken Breast
- Lean Beef
Healthy Fruits & Vegetables To Eat
- Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Mustard, Collard and Turnip Greens)
- Boied Potatoes
- Fruits and Berries
You’ll need to stay away from processed foods and eat healthy snacks, like fruits and vegetables.
Exercise
Yes, you’re going to have to exercise. Many people walk or jog in the evenings, but you may choose to do something more intensive.

Local restaurateur and native South African Justin Anthony just keeps the culinary hits coming. South African-insired eatery Yebo Beach Haus opens Tuesday, September 22, 2020 after moving to a new Atlanta location.
Yebo Beach Haus, which comes to us from True Story Brands hospitality group, will serve food, wine and spirits centered in South African’s rich cuisine.
What’s On The Menu At Yebo Beach Haus?
Although there’s plenty of authentic South African flavor on the menu at Yebo Beach Haus, the offerings are best understood as South African-influenced dishes fused with New American cuisine.
Here are some of the dishes you can expect to find on the Yebo Beach Haus menu:
Whole Branzino served with grilled leeks, lemon and peri-peri sauce; Herb Crusted Lamb Chops with roasted carrots and truffle cauliflower risotto.
Bone-in Chipotle Ribeye served with cilantro-lime succotash and coconut rice.
Some old menu favorites you’ll appreciate are the Sesame Grain Bowl, Peri-Peri Prawn Tacos and Halibut served in red butter curry sauce.

Yebo Beach Haus is located at Andrews Square (56 E. Andrews Drive NW). Here’s a map to help you find the restaurant.
If you’re thinking about going to Yebo Beach Haus, here’s what one Google reviewer says about the restaurant.

As we well know, the coronavirus pandemic has transformed the way we live in more ways than more.
One thing that has changed is the personal hygiene of Americans, according to a major consumer goods company.
Because people are interacting in person less and less, demand for deodorant and makeup has plummeted, according to Unilever.
” Hair wash and care, hair styling, skincare and deodorants have all been impacted by lockdown living as people have not been socializing or going out to work. And so that simply mean fewer personal care occasions,” Unilever Group CEO Alan W. Jope said during a recent earnings call.
The executives don’t necessarily come out and say that use of deodorants and other personal care items have fallen, but the lack of sales is a clear indication that due to shelter in place orders and general precautions that people are taking regarding going out, it’s having an impact on what consumers buy.
If you’re looking for a way to stay fresh and smell good throughout the day, here are some of the top deodorants you can buy in bulk:
Best Natural Deodorants To Buy Online
- Native Deodorant (Vegan, Gluten-Free for Men & Women)
- Underarmed Natural Aluminum-Free Deodorant
- Lume Natural Deodorant (Underarms & Private Parts)
- Certain Dri (Clinical Antiperspirant)
- M3 Natural With Magnesium (for Men & Women)
The company, which owns Dove soap and other cosmetics brands, says deodorant use is down. But it’s not like the company is hurting.
Unilever also owns Ben & Jerry, which along with other ice cream brands, has seen exponential growth during the pandemic, as millions of Americans have been sheltering in place and eating sweets.
No matter what you buy, make sure you stay safe during this pandemic, because the COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the United States.

Responding to the coronavirus pandemic, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms declared a state of emergency for the city on Sunday, March 15, 2020.

The news came the same day that the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recommended that for the next eight weeks, organizers cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States.
Examples of large events and mass gatherings include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings, and other types of assemblies,” the CDC says in its guidance. “These events can be planned not only by organizations and communities but also by individuals.”
After learning of the Atlanta-based CDC’s recommendation, Lance Bottoms later tweeted: “This is a quickly evolving public health crisis. The CDCโs recommendation of limiting public gatherings to 50 people came just as I was signing and announcing this Order. We will continue to evaluate and adjust our policies accordingly.”
Roads around the city on Sunday were unusually empty at times, a sign that residents were doing their best to stay at home during the pandemic.
What Does The Atlanta State Of Emergency Mean For You?
For individual Atlantans, the state of emergency means that many of the city’s annual large events are in limbo or canceled.
As of now, the city’s restrictions include:
- No public gatherings of 10 or more
- No dining inside restaurants
- Closure of all bars and gyms
Some parks, local monuments and the Beltline remain open as of now, but the city is under pressure to close them as well.
Huge festivals that usually take place in venues like Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia World Congress Center and even Piedmont Park are having to be reconsidered.
Atlanta has taken several steps already to curtail the coronavirus, including cancellation of the NCAA Men’s Final Four, Atlanta United matches and more.
