Weight Loss Myths You Must Know About| December 18, 2017
Weight Loss myths are prevalent in all cultures across the world. Some myths are so plausible that you might be convinced that they are true, whereas in fact, they are indeed myths.
I once read somewhere that if you drink water at night that you are going to weight loss or that if you scratch your head too often you are going to lose your hair. Hilarious!
Here are some of the weight loss myths that you should be aware of if you are contemplating a fat loss program.
Weight Loss Myth # 1: The more weight that I have to lose the more intense my exercise routine should be
Weight Loss Truth: Although having an intense workout routine is great, there are a few things you should consider, the first being that everyone is at a different level when it comes to their fitness and how much intensity they can actually handle.
If you have been physically inactive for a few years, an intensive workout program could go a long way in helping you to lose fat.
After you walk that half- mile you may notice that you are sweating and that you are tired.
But for someone who was for many years physically active, walking half a mile is possible, without breaking a sweat.
Everyone has a different definition of what "intense" is.
You may be challenged for time, but even a 20 minutes a day workout could go a long way to establishing your fat loss.
It might not necessarily be classified as "intense", according to your definition, but those little cardio moments will have positive health altering effects.
Weight Loss Myth # 2: Stress and weight gain are not related.
Fact: Stress, especially chronic stress, directly causes your body to switch to fat storage mode. There are many studies now connecting the hormonal and stress chemicals in your body, to fat storage. Reducing your stress levels is a major factor in switching your body to fat burning mode.
Weight Loss Myth #3: What I eat does not cause me to become overweight.
Our lives are governed by natural principles or laws of nature.
You can sit on your couch and imagine and visualize that a ball will staying afloat in the air if you throw it up, but natural principles teach us that it will come down.
The same applies when it comes to weight loss. This is one of the most common weight loss myths out there – that food choices do not have anything to do with weight gain.
It is illogical to believe that health and weight, will be in balance if your diet consists mainly of Twinkies, donuts, chips and fizzy drinks.
Sure you can burn it off by exercising, but most people whose diet consists of mainly junk food are probably not disciplined enough to stick to a workout routine.
I know people who look good from the outside, they look in good shape, but have high cholesterol.
Weight Loss Myth #4: Eating fewer meals in a day helps with weight loss
Numerous studies now show that people who tend to skip meals and only eat 1 or 2 meals a day have a higher risk for gaining fat.
The body needs carbohydrate fuel every 3 and a half hours. If you delay in eating a meal, your brain thinks that you are starving and the next time you eat a substantial meal, your body will attempt to store this as fat.
Weight Loss Myth # 5: You can lose weight by not eating at night.
This is not true. Your body needs some calories at night. However, eating sugar rich or snack like foods at night leads to a higher calorie load to the body. Since you won't be active whilst sleeping, these excess calories will be stored as fat.
You should have a light meal at night and try to avoid snacking after 8pm. Fruit or fruit smoothies may be a good idea if you need something to snack on.
Weight Loss Myth #6: The way that you think others view you is based on your view of yourself.
To become emotionally fit is essential before becoming physically fit. Self- limiting emotions can cause you to have a negative self-image which creates the belief that you are fat.
Many people need external validation of their shape and size and this drives their motivation or lack of motivation in the effort of fat loss.
Once you accept yourself for who you are RIGHT NOW and realize that you are already good enough in the eyes of God, you will not feel like you are not acceptable because of your weight.
Weight Loss Myth #7: You need to cut out all calories in your diet to lose weight.
Reducing calories is important in weight loss. However cutting out all calorie rich food only gives temporary fat loss. You body uses carbohydrate as a fuel source. Eliminating carbohydrates totally from your diet only causes you body to go into starvation mode and you will rapidly put on weight once you begin eating normally.
Weight Loss Myth #8 : Weight gain is genetic.
Your body structure such as bone mass and muscle mass are determined by your genetics, so you might be bigger and heavier than another person. This does not mean that you are overweight.
Fat gain is not genetic. Lifestyle, dietary eating habits and fitness habits play a major role in becoming fat.
What runs in families is most likely bad eating and lifestyle habits. But everyone has the option to make changes based on some knowledge.
Weight Loss Myth #9: Sleeping less will cause you to lose weight.
Not true. Sleep deprivation is perhaps the #1 reason why people put on weight. Lack of sleep is interpreted by your brain as being "under attack". The "flight or fright" mechanism is triggered and cortisol, the stress hormone is secreted into the blood. This causes hormones in the fat cells to be released, which in turn switch your genes to fat storage.
If you are starting out on a weight loss program or not succeeding in one already started, consider the myths above – they may make the difference in your success.

Fans energize Rays at annual Fan Fest
ST. PETERSBURG -- Tropicana Field swelled with the promise of what is to come in 2014 during the Rays' annual Fan Fest that took place Saturday.
"It's always good to see the fans," said Rays outfielder Matt Joyce, who is a Tampa Bay-area native. "I love having all these people yell at me about how we went to the same high school, the same college or 'I played softball with your dad.' There's always something, especially with me being from here. Every year, it's memorable, it's fun. The fans come out and always seem to enjoy it. And I think the organization does a good job with it, from the interactive games to the autographs and the promotions."
Fan Fest featured activities for kids, including "Reading with the Rays," the Sagicor Coaches Clinic with Rays coaches, the All Children's Hospital Kids Interactive Zone, Bayfront Health Kids Run the Bases, photos with Rays mascot Raymond and DJ Kitty, baseball activities for all ages and appearances by Rays players and coaches at various stations throughout the day.
Fans were also able to stop by the T-Mobile Phone-A-Friend stage to have a player call a friend or family member. Chris Archer, Grant Balfour, Alex Cobb and Ben Zobrist participated in this year's Phone-A-Friend.
"I really enjoy talking with the fans, probably because the fans have been so good to me," said Cobb with a smile. "Maybe if they didn't like me, I'd be a little more hesitant to go out there."
Cobb allowed that the Rays' popularity in the area strikes a chord with him.
"I feel a lot of pride when I'm driving around and I see Tampa Bay stuff on the back of cars, Tampa Bay hats, Rays shirts -- I love that," Cobb said. "And when you get to go out and hang out with those people at something like [Fan Fest], it's really special, because they always have a story for you.
"They've always got a game they were at when you did well -- a moment when they connected with you. It's pretty special when they share that with you. That brings me back to when I was a fan and I had players that I wanted to say that to. To be on the other end of that is really cool."
Rays manager Joe Maddon again held Thanksmas, bringing a unique atmosphere to this year's event, allowing a limited number of fans to sample a variety of wines while enjoying hors d'oeuvres based on Maddon's Thanksmas meal and having the opportunity to talk with Rays coaches, broadcasters and MLB Alumni inside the Ted Williams Museum. All proceeds from this event benefit the Rays Baseball Foundation and Maddon's Thanksmas efforts.
The buzz inside the building felt palpable, and the players were among those enjoying the event the most.
"The fans are awesome," Jeremy Hellickson said. "They support us for seven months of the year. To go sign autographs and hang out with them for an hour or two is the least we can do. And something we look forward to every year."
Joel Peralta noted that Rays players appreciate every fan that comes to Tropicana Field.
"We've got great, great fans," Peralta said.

Experts see Jameis Winston as future NFL No. 1 draft choice
- Jerry Angelo says he would be the No. 1 pick this year
- Scout says he%27s %22pretty damn close%22 to Peyton Manning
- Still needs to hone skills and learn defenses
Former NFL general manager Jerry Angelo thinks highly of Jameis Winston's pro prospects.
That doesn't mean Angelo would advise the youngest Heisman Trophy winner ever to enter the draft after two years at Florida State and one as the starter if Winston were eligible.
"He'd be the first pick in the draft. I can say that unequivocally, because he does have the traits," Angelo, a 31-year scouting veteran who was the Chicago Bears GM from the 2001 to '11 seasons, told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday. "But it's the one position that (is different).
"If kids ask me should they come out early, if they have the tape and they're going to have the measurables, I say yes. But I would say no to the quarterback. That's the one position where he needs to play."
Winston doesn't have the choice. No player can apply for special eligibility to the draft until three NFL seasons have begun and ended after his high school graduation or the graduation of the class with which he entered high school, whichever is sooner.
But there were signs in Winston's remarkable redshirt freshman season — in which he has accounted for over 4,000 yards and 42 touchdowns and led the Seminoles to the national title game against Auburn on Jan. 6, his 20th birthday — he might be worth an exception to the rule.
"He is the most NFL-ready quarterback that I've had the privilege of preparing for," a defensive coach for a team that faced Winston told USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity for competitive reasons. "I'm not saying he's Peyton Manning, but he's pretty darn close, man."
Several NFL scouts and executives who have been in draft meetings the last few weeks told USA TODAY Sports that Winston would be in the conversation among the top players in the class of 2014, though it's tough to say where he'd be selected without doing complete film breakdowns and researching his background as teams do with eligible prospects. The scouts and executives spoke on the condition of anonymity because of competitive reasons.
An investigation into a sexual assault allegation against Winston yielded no charges but is the sort of issue about which every NFL team would want to gather information, particularly for a quarterback who's immediately going to be installed as the face of a franchise.
"He ain't making it out of the top 10 (if he were in the 2014 draft), that's for damn sure," said John Middlekauff, a former pro and area scout for the Philadelphia Eagles.
"You'd have to do a lot of research on what happened off the field with that incident, which I'm sure teams have been doing this year, sniffing around. But if that checked out, I think he'd have a very good chance to be the top quarterback picked, which is usually the top player picked."
So why couldn't Winston step in and succeed immediately at the NFL level, no matter his age or relative inexperience?
Former teammates describe him as a team-oriented leader who was like the little brother of EJ Manuel, the 16th overall pick by the Buffalo Bills in this year's draft, during his redshirt year, observing practice from the starters side of the field when he wasn't running the scout team.
"He'd always try to scramble around, and he would think he was the fastest person on the field," said Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Xavier Rhodes, a teammate of Winston in 2012. "He was faster than EJ. That man was confident. He knew he was going to be good."
Winston's smooth public persona matches what teammates see privately, too. He has an ideal frame at 6-4 and about 228 pounds and creates more highlights with his arm than with his legs, unlike so many young quarterbacks with comparable athletic traits.
"Some of those young guys, you throw pressure at them, and they start to concentrate on the pressure — like, 'Where is it coming from?'" said the defensive coach, who has nearly two decades of experience at the college and NFL levels.
"It never rattled him at all. He kept his focus on the downfield receivers, and he did a great job of sitting in the pocket. He's a big-time player. He has a strong arm. He's accurate. He can make all the throws — the long throws downfield; the short, precision-type throws. He's the total package."
But the NFL scouts, who spoke on condition of anonymity for competitive reasons, stressed Winston needed to continue honing his fundamentals and knowledge of defensive schemes like any other young quarterback.
There's also the matter of maturity, which is a concern with almost any young player once he's exposed to money and free time.
Most of the top quarterbacks today — Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson — were on campus at least four years. Aaron Rodgers spent two years at California but also played a year in junior college and then was a backup to Brett Favre for three years with the Green Bay Packers, a luxury afforded few first-round quarterbacks these days.
"Regardless of his body of work, the three-year rule makes a ton of sense to me," Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. "The more time on task you can get, the more experience you can collect both on and off the field (can help) to handle the rigors of adult life."
Among the quarterbacks to come out in three years are Alex Smith, Matthew Stafford and Blaine Gabbert, who all played as rookies and struggled to varying degrees early on. That could be part of the reason Oregon redshirt sophomore Marcus Mariota says he's staying in.
The rules of the 2011 collective bargaining agreement restricted offseason classroom work and practices, challenging the amount of development that can take place once a player arrives in the NFL — particularly at the hardest and most important position.
Angelo points to the recent play of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who started for one year in the Football Bowl Subdivision as an aberration in a league that can swallow quarterbacks whole if they're not physically, mentally and emotionally prepared.
It's not that Winston can't do it. It's that his chances of succeeding might be that much better with another year — or even two — to cement who he is as a player and person first.
"That's the one position I would say you need to get as many snaps, get as much experience as you can, because when you get to the NFL, it's no longer about training you," Angelo said. "You're going to be thrown into the fire — in most cases, way before you're ready, and in most cases, with a poor supporting cast, not a great one, because the teams that draft you aren't very good.
"For a kid to come into that dynamic, he's got to be ready."

Empanadas – The Recipe
December 30, 2005 in Colombian Food, cooking, deep fry, Food Porn, How-2, latino, recipe
For a photographic tutorial on how to make these delicious empanadas visit this post "How to make Colombian Empanadas directions"
Deep-fried meat pastries. These are served as appetizers because they will not keep their crispness for more than 1/2 hour. In other words, as you fry them, have someone serve them to your guests. As the guests bite into them, they may squirt lime juice into them from cut-up limes, or they may spoon "pique" (recipe follows) sauce into the bitten-off empanada. You may not want to "fill-up" the guests on these if you are planning on more food. Otherwise, if it is just an Empanada Party, make lots of them along with fried yuca and patacones, serve up with lots of cold beer, coke or margaritas!
- 1 lb of lean pork meat (1 lb of dark turkey thigh meat, or a turkey roast that has mostly dark meat in it) two large red potatoes
- two eggs
- small onion
- 2 cloves cut up garlic
- Pinch of ground annatto seeds
- bay leaf
- 1 tsp ground comino
- salt
Place meat , potatoes and eggs in enough water to cover them. Add the small cut up onion, garlic, a pinch of ground annatto seeds, bay leaf, cominos and salt. Bring to boil, then lower to simmer. In about 1/2 hour when the potatoes are tender and the eggs are hard boiled, remove them. Simmer the meat for at least another hour.
Remove meat and cool completely.
Preparation of the meat filling:
Grind the cooked meat in a food grinder, or in a food processor. Chop the potatoes and the eggs finely. Add the eggs and potatoes to the ground meat. Now you must prepare a spicy "hogao" sauce to add to the meat mixture.
- 2 large tomatoes, finely chopped
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tblsp of cilantro, minced
- 1/2 tsp. ground comino
- Pinch of ground annatto seeds
- salt to taste
- 3 tblsp of olive oil
Heat oil in a saucepan and add all of the ingredients. Cook over medium heat until everything is mushy. Add this "hogao" sauce to the meat mixture. You will need to add some broth left over from cooking the meat, in order to get the meat filling moist. You don't want the filling to be dry.
Preparation of the corn dough:
2 cups of yellow "masa-harina" La Venezolana or ArepaHarina Colombiana corn meal (Latino Food Store) This is NOT the same masa-harina "Quaker" Mexican style! Salt to taste 3 cups of boiling water, plus a tablespoon of brown sugar. (broth is better but if you have run out, make a broth with chicken bullion cubes) Pour the boiling hot broth in a heat proof container, stirring constantly, slowly pour in the 2 cups of "ArepaHarina", this will get pretty thick and hard to stir towards the end. Try to knead it as much as you can with the spoon, but eventually, as the dough cools, you can knead it with your hands. When the dough looks pretty smooth, about 5 minutes of kneading, cover it with a plastic or moist towel to keep it from drying out.
In a heavy deep frying pan, pour about 3 inches of oil. (If you were going to do this in Colombia, it would be LARD! ) Start heating the oil over medium/high heat.
Shape dough into the size of small golf balls. You can do this golf ball shaping ahead of time as long as you keep them covered.
How to make Empanadas:
Flatten a ball with a flat object such a a plate sprayed with Pam, also spray the surface underneath. Place a heaping tablespoon of meat filling on one hemisphere of the flattened dough. Fold the other half over and pinch together so that there is NO opening showing any filling. The trick here is to get as much meat mixture inside of minimum dough. This will take practice. Otherwise, your empanadas might have more dough to them than meat! Place carefully in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on papers towels and serve immediately with lime quarters or "pique" sauce.
This sauce/relish is similar to "pico de gallo" except it does not include the minced jalapeno. If you want to use jalapeno, you can, but it's not legitimate Colombian. As I said before, this relish is spooned into a bitten-off empanada. Yummmm!
- 6 cleaned green onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of minced cilantro
- 1 tsp of ground comino
- 1/8 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of white vinegar
- salt to taste
Finely mince the green onions and the garlic. Add the other ingredients and let marinate for at least 2 hours. There should be enough liquid to almost reach the top of the relish. You may have to adjust by adding a little more vinegar.
These preparations are "labor intensive", so you must prepare some of them at least two days or more in advance of your party or freeze them. If you freeze the empanadas, keep them separate while freezing but let them thaw out 1/2 an hour before frying them.

Welcome to Dar Zerhoune – an authentic landmark of modern comfort overlooking the Roman Empire's southernmost post in a landscape of ancient rural traditions, where quality is delivered simply and personally under the watchful eye of Rose Button (a Kiwi engineer turned guesthouse owner) – to allow you to experience and explore this unspoiled crossroads of cultures and spirituality.
Dar Zerhoune is a traditional Moroccan home nestled in the white-washed hilltop of Moulay Idriss Zerhoune town. Dar Zerhoune is an off-the-tourist-track addition to your tour of nearby Imperial Meknes and Fez where you will experience authentic Morocco and we offer excursions like the locals live. It is just 1 hour walk, or take a donkey!, through olive groves and with mountain views to the roman ruins of Volubilis and has many other surprises such as Roman baths, a forest, hidden villages, and an opportunity to peek into local life – so please, come and dine on our terrace restaurant or stay for a night or more and discover what is beyond Volubilis.
Relax on our terrace for lunch (for those just passing through), or stay late into the evening and enjoy the african sunset over Volubilis and the valley, enjoying home cooked traditional meals prepared from fresh, seasonal market ingredients. Our roof terrace is fabulous with views spanning from the town of Moulay Idriss to the Roman ruins of Volubilis and back to the mountains and the long deep valley.
At Dar Zerhoune we believe in integrating in and taking care of our community. Our current community projects are; pfree veterinary care for the local donkeys each month; since 2008 we have sponsored Amal, a child from the SOS children's villages [The SOS children's villages provide provide orphaned and abandoned children with loving family homes in 125 countries]; providing emergency food, bedding and building repairs after the flash floods of October 2016. By staying at Dar Zerhoune you are supporting these projects and the community of Moulay Idriss.
Dar Zerhoune is owned by Rose Button, originally from New Zealand and the UK, she was a tourist in 2006 and visited Moulay Idriss and Volubilis on a day trip and returned one year later to buy Dar Zerhoune. Rose was the first, and only, female foreigner to buy a house in Moulay Idriss, complete the restoration and gain permission to run as a guesthouse.
Dar Zerhoune is managed by Hajiba, who speaks fluent French, English and Arabic. Rose stays regularly and continues to love local life in Moulay Idriss and is happy to share her life and experiences being a local, and outsider, living in the Holy City of Moulay Idriss – come and visit or send her a message at firstname.lastname@example.com. Her favourite activities are swimming in the outdoor roman baths, baking in the community oven, shopping in the daily markets and sitting in the main square watching the world go by.
When she is not in Morocco, Rose works as a process engineer in the UK and given her engineering background Dar Zerhoune was restored with western standards in mind – hot hot water, strong WIFI internet, a relaxing terrace and warm rooms in winter and cool rooms in summer. The restoration of Dar Zerhoune is warm, welcoming, calming, elegant, light and relaxed – though see for yourself! Rose has brought many western comforts, for example in winter each bed has an electric blanket to keep you warm, duvets, sheets and towels from the UK. The restoration work removed layers of lacquer, paint, tiles and varnish to return the columns, rooms and woodwork to their original state.
Dar Zerhoune is in the centre of Moulay Idriss, and just a few minutes walk from the main square, grand taxi stand and mausoleum. Just 1 hour walk to Volubilis and a short walk from mountain hikes, Roman baths and a forest. An ideal location for an overnight stay, or to relax for a week.

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) — It started a couple of weeks ago with a few cryptic messages on Twitter and other social media websites: Where is the justice? and R.I.P. TrayvonMartin.
A day later, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Baisden sent out a message to his 65,000 Twitter followers and 585,000 Facebook fans, adding a few details.
"Unarmed 17-year-old boy shot by neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, FL outside of Orlando," the tweet said. It provided a web link to a story.
Since then, hundreds of thousands of messages have spread the word about Trayvon Martin, a black teenager who was shot to death Feb. 26 by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. Racial tensions have rapidly escalated as civil rights groups have held rallies, saying the shooting was unjustified.
President Barack Obama even commented on the case Friday, responding to a question about it by calling the case a "tragedy" and saying "every aspect" of it should be investigated.
Martin's parents started an online petition on Change.org demanding Zimmerman's arrest. It has had more than 1.2 million signatures.
Zimmerman claims self-defense, saying he shot Martin after being attacked by him. Zimmerman's father is white, and his mother is Hispanic.
Filmmakers Michael Moore and Spike Lee have also posted messages in support of Martin.
Martin, who lived in Miami, was in Sanford visiting family when he went to a convenience store. He was walking back carrying a bag of candy and can of iced tea, the hood of his jacket pulled over his head because it was raining. He was approached by Zimmerman, who told a police dispatcher he thought Martin looked suspicious. Zimmerman shot Martin following a chase and fight.
The online uproar grew after the first emergency call tapes from the day of the shooting were released last week. In one of the calls, a dispatcher told Zimmerman to stop following Martin, but he continued.
Twitter messages about Martin have been mentioned almost 600,000 times, according to the social media monitoring firm PeopleBrowsr. On Facebook, some protesters are wearing hoodies in their profile photos with the caption, "Do I look suspicious?"
The Justice Department and FBI have opened a civil rights investigation, and the local prosecutor has convened a grand jury April 10 to determine whether to charge Zimmerman.
"What you're seeing is that the Trayvon Martin case speaks to people around the country just like it speaks to people in this community," said Benjamin Jealous, president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "It would have been easy for people here to say, 'He wasn't one of us. I didn't know him. My kids didn't go to school with him.' But instead, people here are saying what people said around the world, which is, 'He reminds me of my cousin, of my son, or my grandson.'"
Not all the online sentiments side with the Martin point of view.
Kyle Rogers blogs at Examiner.com and is also a national board member of the Council of Conservative Citizens. He wrote a post for Examiner asking questions about the facts that have been reported in mainstream media to this point.
The post has gotten more than 12,000 Facebook shares.
"Almost all news items are written solely from the point of view of the grieving family," Rogers wrote. "The media also fills their articles with outdated baby-faced pictures of Trayvon. Very few include that he was a towering 6'2" football player. Is the media really reporting the news, or is this classic agitation/propaganda to advance a political agenda?"
Contacted by The Associated Press, Rogers defended his position further.
"It is much more than a rush to judgment," he wrote in an e-mail to the AP. "The media has intentionally hammered a grossly distorted version of what happened to advance a political agenda."
Jeanette Castillo, an assistant professor of digital media at Florida State University, is tracking the Martin case on Twitter.
She said the case has played out in a protest era that will be increasingly driven by online audiences.
"You can hear about an issue in traditional media and be outraged. But in social media you have immediate feedback of how much your friends are outraged," Castillo said. "It's just a huge facet of social media that affects that mobilization. It's sort of the same thing as word of mouth, but just at a lightning speed."
Recent research by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project shows why this case might particularly resonate for the black Internet audience.
Aaron Smith, a senior researcher for Pew Internet, said a study updated last month shows that 15 percent of all Internet users nationally use Twitter, including 8 percent on a typical day.
White users are generally in line with the national average with 12 percent using the service or 7 percent on a typical day.
By contrast, black Internet users have very high rates of Twitter usage, with more than a quarter using Twitter overall and 13 percent using Twitter on a typical day.
"It's a bit different data than we've seen historically," Smith said. "For a long time, it was always a digital divide story. But with social (media) we're finding the black community on par with or ahead of their white counterparts with usage."
Associated Press writer Suzette Laboy in Sanford contributed to this report.

Mila Kunis to guest star alongside Ashton Kutcher on Two and a Half Men
Mila Kunis is set to guest star alongside Ashton Kutcher in an upcoming episode of Two and a Half Men, CBS announced on Tuesday.
Kunis will play Vivian, a young, beautiful, free-spirited world traveler who shows up on the doorstep of Walden, the character played by Kutcher. Walden feels an instant connection with her, convinced shes the one. The problem is, Walden was about to propose to someone else.
Yes, its a case of art imitating real life that is, if you want to call Two and a Half Men art. Last week, it was reported that Kunis and Kutcher, who met in 1998 on the set of Fox comedy That 70s Show, got engaged. The couple have been dating for nearly two years.
The guest appearance by Kunis will mark the duos first appearance together on a scripted program since That 70s Show ended in 2006.
No airdate for the episode was announced.

One person suffered a minor leg injury at the Dayton VA clinic.
A shooting at a Veterans Affairs hospital on Monday left one person with a minor injury and a suspect in police custody, according to a Dayton city official.
The male suspect was taken into custody Monday afternoon after someone dropped him off at a hospital, Dayton spokesman Bryan Taulbee said.
One person suffered a minor leg injury at the Dayton VA clinic, said Taulbee, who didn't know if the victim was a man or woman.
The suspect is from suburban Dayton, and there were no other shooters involved, Taulbee said.
Authorities blocked roads leading to the hospital complex. Employees told media outlets that at least part of the complex was locked down around the lunch hour on Monday. WDTN showed video of employees leaving the center while FBI agents went inside.
On its Facebook page, the clinic said scheduled appointments were on hold, citing "a current developing situation."
The center has beds for about 450 people and provides veterans with medical, mental health and nursing home care.
Four years ago, an Iraq War Army veteran wearing military fatigues fatally shot himself at a monument to soldiers outside the same hospital. The man, Jesse C. Huff, had been a patient there. He had been wounded by an explosive device in Iraq.

Earnings stink like a big pile of trashOctober 23, 2012: 12:06 PM ET
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, and Abbott Laboratories, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
Investors are in an Oscar the Grouch-like mood. But unlike the fuzzy, green Muppet, they don't love trash. And that's exactly what the latest slew of corporate earnings reports are: Dirty, dingy and dusty. Rotten, ragged and rusty.
Stocks plummeted Tuesday after Dow components DuPont (DD), United Technologies (UTX) and 3M (MMM) issued underwhelming outlooks.
That follows weak guidance from Caterpillar (CAT) on Monday, and a big drop for the market on Friday following disappointing results from tech giants Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) as well as lackluster numbers from General Electric (GE) and McDonald's (MCD).
Nearly all of these companies mentioned challenging macroeconomic environments around the globe that is crimping demand for their products and services. Several suggested that they will be restructuring in order to boost profits, with DuPont announcing 1,500 layoffs. Chipmaker AMD (AMD) also let forth a deluge of pink slips last week, announcing it would cut 15% of its workforce.
This relentless drum beat of poor corporate news should not come as a surprise to anyone. China's economy is undeniably slowing. Europe (particularly Greece and Spain) still looks like a triage center.

And while growth in the United States seems to be stabilizing, that could all come to a grinding halt if Congress closes its eyes and takes a step off the fiscal cliff at the end of the year.
But guess what? Even though the S&P 500 has slumped nearly 3% in the past five days and the broader market may finish October in the red, investors may need to prepare themselves for an even deeper pullback in the coming weeks.
Companies are no longer able to cut expenses fast enough to compensate for sluggish sales. They did that already in 2008 and 2009. The only way for earnings to significantly improve over the next few quarters will be if demand gets better. Plain and simple.
Lacking that, the market still seems ripe for a bigger downturn. Considering that some high-profile bellwethers such as Apple (AAPL), Google, Verizon (VZ) and IBM (IBM) have either already entered or are very near correction status (i.e. down 10% from recent highs), shouldn't the broader market do the same?
The Dow and S&P 500 are only 4% below their 52-week highs. The Nasdaq is getting closer to a correction, which makes sense given that Apple is such a huge component of that index. But it's still down just 6.8% from its 52-week high and remains up nearly 15% in 2012.
Now the good news for market bulls is that valuations are still relatively attractive for stocks. The S&P 500 is currently trading at 13 times consensus earnings estimates for 2013 according to Thomson One. That seems reasonable for now.
But analysts are only predicting earnings growth of 7% for next year. What if those estimates get cut? That's a plausible scenario given all the aforementioned global risks. A mid-teens market multiple may be too expensive if earnings are only going to increase in the low-to-middle single digits -- which is why stocks arguably need to fall further.
It doesn't appear that investors have priced in the possibility of slow economic and earnings growth in 2013 yet. If stocks pull back a bit more, that could set investors up for a nice rally next year if results do turn out to be better than forecasts.
Of course, it's not all doom and gloom for Corporate America. Luxury retailer Coach (COH) and shipping giant UPS (UPS) topped forecasts. That's encouraging.>
But some of the other companies that were bright spots in the market Tuesday merely beat low expectations. Yahoo (YHOO) rallied on an earnings beat and hopes that new CEO Marissa Mayer will finally turn around the struggling Internet media firm. That's a company-specific story, not a sign that online advertising is robust. We already got the bad macro news from Google last week.
Likewise, motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson (HOG) revved higher even though profits and sales fell from a year ago. They just didn't fall as much as analysts were expecting. Hardly cause for raucous celebration.
Keep that in mind if Netflix (NFLX) and Facebook (FB), two down-on-their-luck tech stocks, report better-than-expected results after the bell Tuesday. The bar for them is low. What investors will need to see to get excited about the broader market are strong results from the likes of Apple, AT&T (T), Amazon (AMZN) and Boeing (BA) later this week.
For now, earnings are, to quote our friend Oscar again, just like that fish he's got wrapped inside some old newspaper. "Smelly and cold." And the market would trade those earnings for a big pot of gold.
