Tuesday, August 4th, 2009Legislation is currently pending that would mandate chain restaurants nationally to clearly post calorie counts and fat content next to every item on the menu. The idea behind this is two-fold. First, the hope is that this will be another way to combat the obesity crisis in this country. If people could see what exactly [...]
PMS is so NOT fun
Saturday, August 1st, 2009At 41 you would think I am more than accustomed to the monthly physical and emotional discomforts of PMS but you would think wrong. I absolutely hate the week before my body involuntarily sheds its “baby prep”. I don’t mind the physical discomforts; bloating and slight cramps I can deal with, after all pain is [...]
Why Bottled Water May Leave You Thirsty for Tap Water
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009For the smart consumers that we usually are, it surprises me how bamboozled we have become by the brilliant marketing of bottled water. Even if we don’t necessarily go so far as to think bottled water comes out of the purest, most pristine springs and that tap water comes from the sewers, most people would [...]
Just Because You’re Skinny Doesn’t Mean You’re Not Fat
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009In a recent mock poll, women were given the choice of whether they would rather be skinny and shave five years off of their life expectancy or be overweight. Shockingly, women would rather be skinny even if that meant an earlier death. Being skinny is like the perfect little black dress. It’s forever sought after [...]
It’s Exercise, Not Oreos, That’s Wreaking Havoc On My Diet: NOT
Monday, July 6th, 2009The notion that exercise could be the culprit for unwanted weight gain would be absurd but for the fact that there are actual so-called experts that espouse this fitness fallacy. In his book Good Calories, Bad Calories, Gary Taubes cites scientific research to back his premise that exercise serves only to make us hungrier and [...]
Muffin Top Anyone
Friday, July 3rd, 2009Ah yes, the Seinfeld episode which exposed how we all feel about muffins – the tops are the best. It’s true really; the tops are moist and soft and oooh so good. In the show, even the soup kitchens were offended that they were given the tops after the best part was removed. So why [...]
New Nutritional Bar Helps You to Feel Full
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009I typically get hungry when I think there is no food around so I reach for anything behind the front desk at the gym. This week I found something new called the Full Bar(TM), Cocoa Chip Full Bar to be exact. It actually tasted really good – this was my first indicator that this might [...]
Why is it best to eat right after a workout?
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009There are so many trains of thought when it comes to what you should eat and when you should eat regarding the optimal intake of nutrition and how the body best utilizes what it ingests. I have never been one to eat or workout according to strict guidelines but the research certainly does show compelling [...]
Why seek Ketosis?
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Dieting is certainly not new and the quest for the perfect way to burn excess fat is possibly as old as, well, it’s been around, but what I don’t understand is why not just do it the right way? Eat properly, exercise, limit harmful behavior (eliminate actually) and adopt an overall healthy lifestyle. People try [...]
The Recession Affects Everyone – Except Krispy Kreme
Sunday, June 14th, 2009At an time when companies like Bennigans and Linen’s n Things, Circuit City and more are having to close shop because of a depressed market, it seems we still crave fatty emotional eating favorites – Krispy Kreme turned a $1.9 million dollar profit in the last quarter! Not too shabby, except for the fact that doughnuts are [...]
