Youd be lucky to have my Aunt Margaret as a friend on Facebook. Whyyou ask? Honestly, shes the best thing on social media. Most recently, she brought this timely question to our attention: Do you think most people will gain more weight or lose weight in the next 3 months?

Aunt Margaret, it is a valid question. The pandemic 15 you all know is a thing, like The freshmen 15meaning the pounds youll gain during your quarantine.

Are you a stress eater? Not allowed to leave the house? Sounds like you could use a diet right now. Isnt it true that high stress and elevated cortisol levels can lead to bad health stuff, even weight gain? Rather than prohibiting certain foods or food groups, let me suggest a portion-control method that Im pretty sure is unprecedented.

Like stacking Jenga blocks, balancing foods upon a grapefruit is a challenge youll be determined to win.

The balance on a grapefruit method.

Growing up, my mom was almost always on a diet, she was a Weight Watchers lecturer, and participated in most fad diets or ate those foods which promised weight loss. As a kid, it was hard and weird to me, as I never thought of her as overweight, she just said she was. But those fears of gaining weight were inherited and have followed me my whole life, as they have many of us.

So, while Im all for a healthy weight and lifestyle choices, I decided to veer off the diet pathway a bit, be a little kinder to myself and not so extreme about that right now. As a should I eat determiner, I chose to balance the food I wished to consume on a grapefruit, inspired by The Grapefruit Diet which was a real trend at some point (my mom ate quite a lot of them). Like stacking Jenga blocks, balancing foods upon a grapefruit is a challenge youll be determined to win. For example, I wanted that gluten-free apple pie so badly, I ended up sticking it on with tape. All is fair with this method, make your own rules, and most importantly enjoy what you choose to eat.

Its April 1st, and wishing you all the best SLC, no foolin!
