How To Not Lose Weight
Copyright 2006 Eva Moffat
If you are determined NOT to lose weight, this article has some good advice that will help you to achieve your ambition.
You can do this in several ways.
Firstly by:-
Going on a starvation diet.
That is missing meals and only having half meals when you do eat.
You may think that by missing meals you are taking in less calories and surely that is what you must do to lose weight.
But you are wrong.
Because your body will decide that there is going to be a famine for whatever reason and so will store whatever carbohydrates and fat are in the food you DO eat and store it as fat for possible future starvation.

A Look at Portable Dishwashers
Portable dishwashers are just the ticket for those with less than enough space for a more permanent and heavier dishwasher. They range in widths from a slim 18 inches to a maximum of about 24 inches for the "larger" portables. In general, they are also less expensive. They usually run anywhere from $200 to $500, rather than to $600 or more as with permanent units.
Portable dishwashers have wheels on them. You can roll your portable dishwasher to the storeroom if you don't plan on using it for a while (and would rather opt for hand-washing).
It's also much easier to maneuver, for those who plan on moving to a new home in the near future.
They usually contain two rolling baskets for placing dishes into. They don't usually boast the usual whistles and bells of large units, but they do have enough settings to choose from. For example, many units have a super-powerful cycle for pots and pans. Some also offer an option for boosting the water temperature...
