Article of the Week: Top 10 Reasons To Do Pilates For Life
Top 10 Reasons To Do Pilates For Life: Issues like lack of core support, pelvic instability, muscular imbalances, poor posture, and lack of body awareness all effect back health. They are also issues that the Pilates method specializes in helping people improve. Pilate is based on six principles: centering, control, flow, breath, precision and concentration. Combing these 6 principles is the key to a quality Pilate's workout. 1. Improves Muscle Tone - Pilates exercises help to strengthen and tone muscle and bone by using your own body weight. Anytime you add muscle to your body you stimulate your metabolism, which, in turn helps to decrease your body fat by burning calories and fat.

Article of the Week
Adding ""Tastants"" to Food May Promote Weight Loss: Boosting the flavor of your food with calorie-free seasonings and sweeteners may help you feel fuller faster and decrease the amount you eat, according to a U.S. study that suggests this may be a new way to help people lose weight. ""Tastants"" -- are substances that can stimulate the sense of taste. In a recent study which comprising of 2,436 overweight or obese people were asked to sprinkle a variety of savory or sweet crystals on their food before eating their meals. They used the salt-free savory crystals on salty foods and used the sugar-free sweet crystals on sweet or neutral-tasting foods. The participants didn't know what the flavors of the crystals were, other than salty or sweet. The hidden flavors of the savory tastants were cheddar cheese, onion, horseradish, ranch dressing, taco, and parmesan. The flavors of the sweet tastants were cocoa, spearmint, banana, strawberry, raspberry and malt.

Article of the Week
Eating for high energy: The more you exercise, the more you need to eat a balanced diet. The nutritional rules still apply, but with an added carbohydrate intake. The combination of healthy food and physical exertion combats stress, encourages tissue repair, rebalances hormones and releases endorphins and encephalin. Mood and outlook should improve markedly. To boost your sporting performance, you need glucose. The body makes glucose from starches and sugars in carbohydrates, including bread, potatoes and rice and stores it in the muscles and liver as glycogen. Like everyone else, sportspeople need protein, obtained mostly from pulses, poultry, red meat, fish, cheese, eggs and seeds, and vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Sufficient fluids, particularly in advance of sport, are vital. You should also drink water during (if possible) and after exercise to replenish fluids. If strenuous exercise and physical fitness are an integral part of your life, you need to think long term and consistently stick to a well-balanced but varied intake of food. Most athletes have a large and nutritious breakfast, especially on the day of an event, and eat a diet permanently rich in complex carbohydrates.

Ask a Lesbian About Last Night’s Work Out: Break-ups, weight loss, Rebecca
It’s been a while since we last checked in with our resident Sapphic correspondents, but since the conclusion of Work Out’s third season, it’s about time we got their take on the season as a whole. 1. Marcie from Rehoboth Beach wrote in to ask: Girls, I’m going to level with you. I was really surprised that Jackie and Briana seemed to patch things up in the end. Or at least get on the road to improving their relationship. Do you think that it’ll last a year? Sam: Yeah, thats what lesbians do

Tonight was the night of my big run. It was supposed to be last night, but I didn’t feel it. I also had a bit of work to finish. I started late, so I ended at about 10PM. Anyways, I felt that I needed the rest. However, tonight, there was no way that I would have been able to get out of it, even though I was looking forward to it. I have a love hate relationship with running. Today, I ate a few Chinese sausages with brocoli. It’s not the healthiest meal, but I was curious how they tasted. I w

Reduce your salt
Getting used to the taste of food without the extra dose of salt added takes some time, but according to some experts, not a whole lot of time. The benefits of going light on the salt can be quite numerous and well worth the week of possible taste bud discomfort too. Men’s Health Magazine shed some light on the subject and included some helpful tips on how to lighten your salt load. Check it out: (more…) healthy, nutrition, weight loss

Lap Band Or Gastric Bypass?
Lap Band Or Gastric Bypass? Filed under: Health Time and time again many people try only to end up failing when they go on diets to lose weight. For those who desperately need to lose the weight but are failed dieters, weight loss surgery may be what they are looking for. It would be great if surgery was a quick, easy, instantaneous solution to weight problems - unfortunately it isn’t. If you opt for something like lap banding you’ll need to be prepared to have regular check-ups so that your
Facing the music : weight and measures
Well, my “think it over†phase was longer than I’d wanted and came with a small backslide (up 2 pounds), but has left me full of new ways to approach this weight-loss lifestyle with peace and enjoyment. Sandra Ahten has a great approach to falling off the wagon - that our goal should not be to avoid those times altogether, but to have them be less frequent, less long and less deep. I think I’ve made progress on all fronts with this 10-day slipup. Other than a few noteworthy sessions with bre
Monday,June 30th
Hello everyone, happy last day of June. Yipes the year is going by fast. Oy about all the driving coming up. Looks like the gas prices went down a few cents around here. Gotta check the gas check websites to see the cheapest place where I'm going. Mom said she'll help out w/ the gas thank goodness. just as long as she doesn't distract me while driving!!! Exercise is practically going to be non existant until Wed or Friday @ this point in time. @ least I know what type of restaurant I'm going t
Goodbye, Kitty.
I said goodbye to my cat of 15 years this weekend. I inherited him from a friend in college -- a wee kitten, she had to part with him as his presence violated dorm regulations. For a while we had taken to calling him "kitty" until a roommate conferred upon him the name "Dashiki." Somewhow it stuck. I recall a time where he had escaped and was gone for weeks on end. One summer's night I was watching television when a ball of fur burst literally through the screen door, tearing across the livi
When Measurement Fails, Analytics Become Useless
I have a terrible habit. Every morning, I get on the scales to check to see if I’ve lost weight or fat. In fact, the habit is so bad that sometimes I’ll get on two or three times a morning and even through the day. Measurement is fine and good but sometimes daily measurement of small or difficult to measure changes can be frustrating and inaccurate (unless it says I lost weight â€" then it’s accurate). The other day I noticed that by simply allowing 30 minutes to lapse without doing anything, my
just like a pill
What’s your side on weight loss pills? Do you think that they work? Do you think that they’re bad for you? Well, what I think is that as much as possible, people should avoid them. It’s because, wouldn’t it be nice if you worked hard for your weight loss and not because you depended on some weight loss pill? Right?? But yeah, most weight loss pills these days are said to be effective yet there are still those of which are dangerous, etc. So my say is, be careful if you use them.
Weight Loss & Good old Exercise
I guess if that's the way to do then then I guess I need to get my shit together and do it! Oh yeah, I am talking about weight loss. I guess there will never be that miracle pill and quite frankly I don't want to take anything that is unsafe like hoodia. I just need to get back on board with what I have, well had, been doing. Eating right and exercise. That combination together has always worked well for me. I think the stress of moving has helped hamper my strength to continue thinking with my
Link roundup: Revisiting my 2008 goals edition
The year’s half over already. Thought I’d revisit what I said I’d do at the beginning of the year to see how things are going: I want a closer relationship with God. Eh, this one was convicting. I’ve listened to the Johnny Cash recording of the New Testament, but that’s about it. Nowhere close to reading the Bible on a regular basis. I want to track my finances better. I started out the year not too badly but fell into my old habits of not tracking things. I want to lose fifty pounds. Well, be
It's the Little Things That Make All the Difference
We can never take away someone else's pain, but we can certainly help to dull the edges. Now visiting my niece and nephew in Ireland, I see just how hard it is to want for a soft touch and cuddle -- from the other side. My niece and nephew and I are in many ways two sides of a coin. I feel a special closeness to them for knowing how hard it is to be reminded of a loss in the most ordinary of ways. As I wrote last December it's been two years since my nephew and niece lost their mum to cancer
Fit, Not Frail: Exercise as a Tonic for Aging
Fact: Every hour of every day, 330 Americans turn 60. Fact: By 2030, one in five Americans will be older than 65. Fact: The number of people over 100 doubles every decade. Fact: As they age, people lose muscle mass and strength, flexibility and bone. Fact: The resulting frailty leads to a loss of mobility and independence. The last two facts may sound discouraging. But they can be countered by another. Regular participation in aerobics, strength training and balance and flexibility exerc

Video Games Good Therapy
While political debate rages on about the evils of video games, others are looking at this form of entertainment as therapy. While the medical field has been adapting video games for training purposes for quite sometime, Dance Dance Revolution was overlooked by the public even as schools started to incorporate it into PE curriculum. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto introduced Wii Fit to the world ushering in public awareness that video games aren’t just for entertainment and edutainment anymore. L
Fat Loss Supplements
The shocking truth about the best supplements for fat loss is, "they don't really work". I'm not convinced any supplement speeds fat loss or boosts your metabolism, or otherwise magically leads to more fat burning. I have not been impressed by supplement research or by talking to people who have used supplements. Supplements are generally worthless for boosting metabolism and burning body fat. I strongly believe all fat burning pills are useless, unless you need some caffeine to stay awake.
Lose weight fast - you can do it
Can you lose ten pounds a week? Let's look at how you can lose weight fast. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds once or until you reach a certain weight, a proper weight loss plan must include eating the right foods and getting sufficient exercise and sleep. Sleep is one aspect of losing weight that isn't often talked about, but it is as important as exercise. Researchers have discovered that two hormones that trigger appetite come into play if we don't get enough sleep. This causes us to overe
How to Become a Runner in Just 10 Weeks
It’s very easy to look at runners and think they’re somehow different to us; that they were simply born super fit - this is definitely how I’ve felt in the past. However, with a little work and determination, you too can become a runner. Many people actually think they’re too overweight, or unfit to run. However the fact is, running doesn’t have to be fast to be effective, therefore anyone can participate. The best part is that it’s completely free! Benefits of running: Boosts energy and
thick skulls and weight loss
I met a personal trainer the other day who tried to talk me into signing up with him for a workout program. For some strange reason, people seem to assume that just because I’m a workout freak, I’m looking to lose weight. I’m not fat, okay? I’m at my ideal weight and BMI and frankly, I’m a happy camper just toning her muscles and working on resistance training. Nothing wrong with that, I hope. If I were looking to lose weight, I’d be buying those hilarious Osim butt rocking contraptions and
Week One Weigh-in
Starting Weight: 86kgs Weight today: 84.5kgs That’s a good effort for the week. Bit more than what I was aiming at, but not too bad. Went into the gym every day except Saturday. Did half an hour on the bikes, averaging at about 32km/h. Towards the end, I started using the pool and sauna as well (spa isn’t working due to the gas crisis). Had a couple of lapses in my diet, where wednesday night I went out with mates, and ended up having McDonald’s at the end of the night, and last night had Piz

I don’t know if I am the only one, but I absolutely-totally-understandably HATE when I hear the following words. I love you, I’m just not in love with you. Those words make my blood boil. But I have to admit, when it comes to my workouts- that about covers my current relationship with exercise. I love the idea of working out and I love the memory of past workouts, but when it comes to present workouts there is little joy top be had. And I don’t mean to imply any sense of ease when I use t

There are certain times in a person’s life one can not “see the forest through the treesâ€. I am famous for that. Like when I had my daughter it was only when she was about a year old did I wonder out loud to my friends “you know I think I might have suffered from post partum depression when MD was bornâ€.

Well, my mom is safely at my sister’s home outside of Cape Town. Wouldn’t you know it, I miss her already. We probably drive each other a little crazy at times, but I do know that I love her very much. When I dropped her off at that Delta terminal, I was right, I couldn’t even go in. “Only Passengers Allowed Beyond this Point†it said at the door. I helped her lug her two (hopefully not more than 50lb) suitcases onto a cart and kissed her good bye and had no choice but to drive off. Because of

for anyone who knows me the fact that I have been concerned with my weight since time began is no revelation - it’s a real part of who I am and of why I do a lot of the things that I do LOTS of therapy hours have been, and will likely continue to be, devoted to this subject but that’s not what this post is about - this post is about diets and the insanity that surrounds them Oprah and her staff have just very publicly done the 21 day cleanse as prescribed by  Kathy Freston in her book Quant
Calorie Intake
So I’ve been worried about why once I pass the 200 mark my weight loss slows to a crawl. One of the things I love about the South Beach Diet is that you don’t count calories ( I hate it and I usually eat more when I do), but since I haven’t been losing I’m going to count every once and awhile just to make sure I stayed on track. I found a formula for what your calorie intake should be to maintain your weight and then you subtrake 500 cal to lose 1 pound a week. http://weightloss.about.com/od/ea

Pros and Cons of Taking Medication for Manic Depression
Medication is not usually used as a first line of defense against manic depression. Often, the patient has to undergo psychotherapy before the doctor will finally decide if he or she needs to take antidepressants. The reason for this is that the effects of these medications can differ from patient to patient. And these effects can either be beneficial or, sometimes, fatal to patients. Of course, the medications for manic depression are designed to cure the patient suffering from it. However, si

The Shocking Truth about Cardio Training
Why Cardio Doesn’t Work for Fat Loss By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS www.TurbulenceTraining.com Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up. After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others. British researchers wanted to get more insight in
Feeling Good about My Week
I tried the innovative step of staying on my food plan for the last seven days and lost a pound. But really, I didn’t care what the scale said. What mattered to me is that I just did it this week, follwing the plan without obsessing about food (seeing, tasting, eating, smelling, tracking, or regretting it). I’ve been trying hard to not navel-gaze, as my friend Phyllis calls it. It’s hard for me to do because I’ve spent most of my life worrying about food things and my frustration with my b

I’ve been putting it off for a long time now, but I’m finally taking action with this whole losing weight thing. My goal is to shed 15lbs, at least, by the time I turn 30. That’s only a couple of months away. I figured if I could lose at least 10 lbs between now and August, that should be an easy goal to reach. I don’t want to set myself up with a goal that’s too out there because I know it’ll only make me feel worse when I don’t reach it. That’s one disappointment I don’t want, or need for tha

Bariatric Surgery - What is Lap Band Surgery? Does Insurance Cover Weight Loss Surgery?
Loosing weight is no easy task no matter who you are, and in most cases, the ones who say that proper diet and exercise is the only way to loose weight most likely have never been overweight and realized how hard it is for someone who is morbidly obese to exercise routinely. The good new is that there are a few great bariatric procedures that assuming you qualify will also most likely be covered by your medical insurance.
Medical Minute: Amy Winehouse does not have TB, but do you?
Amy Winehouse is a sick woman. The British singer has been hospitalized in a London hospital ever since fainting at home on June 16.

Study links gastric bypass surgery to increased risk of kidney stones
Morbidly obese patients who undergo a particular type of gastric bypass surgery called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are at an increased risk of developing kidney stones â€" small, pebble-like deposits that can result in severe pain and require an operation to remove them â€" earlier than previously thought. These stones develop in patients within only a few months following the procedure rather than several months to years, according to research published in the June issue of the Journal of the A
Citigroup's Downgrade Sinks Markets and Financial ETFs Lower

How could I lose 7 pounds in just 10 days without even trying my best? I had been trying to lose weight with different diet menus in the past, all from the south beach diet to the cabbage soup diet and many more, but usually ending up with the same results every time.

Movie Review: 'The Dark Knight'
What can I say? There are moments in film history when everything is pushed aside and performance exceeds genre. Batman Begins told audiences and film critics it was possible to root a comic book generated superhero in reality. Earlier this year Iron Man set out to do the same but lost its balance in the final act. The Dark Knight manages to exceed expectation with a villain so maniacal, his desire for destruction begins to make sense to the point you understand his desire for all out anarchy

Seven Dirty Words To Die or Live By
If there’s something positive about the death of celebrities, it’s that they create opportunities to educate the average Jane and Joe Public about how an acidic lifestyle and diet causes dis-ease and disease that also affect them.

Acid Reflux - Child Related Acid Reflux
It sounds bizarre but it is true that children tend to suffer from acid reflux. Under normal conditions, food passes via the esophagus and the muscle existing at the bottom part of the esophagus closes off. The process is to facilitate food and liquids to remain inside the stomach. This muscle is known as Lower Esophageal Sphincter or LES. If the LES is not able to close properly, the contents of the stomach and acid have the tendency to settle in the esophagus. Usually GER, Gastroesophageal Re

Big breakfast diet aids weight loss: New research from Venezuela and Virginia Commonwealth University shows eating a big breakfast filled with carbohydrates and protein then eating a low-carb, low-calorie diet the rest of the day can help you lose weight and keep it off. Researchers compared their new diet with a strict low-carb diet in 94 obese women who were not physically active. Both diets were low in fat and total calories but had carbohydrates distributed differently. The 48 women on the big-breakfast diet had 1,240 calories a day 46 grams of fat, 97 grams of carbohydrates, and 93 grams of protein. They ate a 610-calorie breakfast with 58 grams of carbohydrates, 47 grams of protein and 22 fat grams. Lunch had 395 calories (34, 28 and 13 grams of carbohydrates, protein and fat, respectively); dinner had 235 calories (5, 18 and 26 grams, respectively).

Economic stimulus
Last weekend, a bit bored and looking for something to do on a hot and intermittently stormy Sunday afternoon, J and I went walking at the Natick Collection, the first time we’d ever gone to a mall together. It had been some three years, J figured, since he’d been to a mall: J’s consumer tastes are simple, and when he needs things, he tends to shop online. I go to malls rarely and typically only to window-shop, shopping malls offering a conspicuous projection of our society and the thing
How To Eat Healthy Traveling - Part One
Eating healthy while traveling can be a daunting task for anyone beginning a transition to a healthier diet. Some may decide to put good choices aside when they take a trip, fly, or go camping for a week.

I guess I inherited my grandmother's practical side. She raised three kids during the Great Depression and the Dustbowl i

Healthy Eating Facts
No matter whether we are in shape or we need to lose one hundred pounds, if you adopt these healthy eating facts as a de facto lifestyle choice, you will reap health benefits that can defy aging, cancer, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and a host of other ailments. Never stuff yourself. Only eat until you are satisfied at every meal. Putting your digestive system into overdrive is only going to cause you to store the excess food as fat.
Online Meal Plans
Online meal plans are a great way to expeditiously get a diet plan up and running. All you have to do is log on to the online meal plan website, where you will be presented with the opportunity to select your favorite foods. Make your selections. The website will automatically enforce its rules as you generate your plan, so that you cannot make any combination of selections that would be in violation of your diet guidelines or exceed its limits.

Yes, I'm still on the subject....and no, I'm not obsessed.

I've coped OK so far, and I was actually a bit surprised that my hunger levels have been quite low. I only get seriously hungry just before the time of day when I'd usually have a meal, and that's normal anyway, whether I'm following a weight-loss plan, or eating a lot more. BUT...

Last night before going out for a run, I bought some ankle support bandages. As you might know, I twisted my foot in a small scooter accident a few weeks ago. It’s doing better, but I ice it down daily and keep a bandage on it at most times. Running doesn’t hurt, but sometimes my foot will bend in a way that will hurt a little bit. Anyways, I’ve had worse injuries. Yesterday, I had two eggs with a little bit of bacon and cheese for breakfast. For lunch I had 1L of fresh OJ. Since I had eaten

We are going to a wedding this weekend, and CY3 would like for me to look GORGEOUS. I don't like clothes shopping. I don't like trying on clothes, and finding out that they don't fit me. I finally convinced myself to accept that I am no longer a size 7, but now a size 14... I knew for a while now, but I

Tomorrow I am willingly partaking in the ultimate evil: cross border shopping at Colville's Wally World. This is actually a local shopping mecca because it's about an hour's drive and the food section alone is three times bigger than our largest local grocery store. The entire Wally World is three times the size of our local Wally World.

STORM FROM THE SHADOWS - Snippet 03: The Havenite commander didn't wait for the task force's fire to reach him. In fact, he fired at almost the same instant Honor's first salvo launched against him, and whereas Task force Eighty-Two had fired just under three hundred missiles at him, he fired the next best thing to eleven thousand in reply. "Damn," Commander Manfredi said almost mildly as the enemy returned more than thirty-six missiles for each one TF 82 had just fired at
Buying and Selling Services
Photo courtesy of iStockphoto, Ravi Tahilramani In a recent posting, Arun Purohit described an interesting disconnect between the sales approach of Indian outsourcers and the purchase approach of American (at least some) customers. I think he's spot on. In the article, Mr. Purohit describes an American customer that is seeking a specific product - lets call it a "round hole", and the Indian seller trying to push "square peg" solutions into it. Every customer need could be met "easily," even t
"But he SAID it was important to him!"
How often does someone tell you that their weight (or organic or the environment) is important to them, but then, when they have a chance to try a product or program that helps that, they flake? Research shows what we all know: there's almost always a disconnect between values people say they have, and what they actually do and spend money on. "A whopping majority of Americans shoppers may consider themselves environmentalists, but, according to the Journal of Industrial Ecology, only 10-12%
Frustrations with the Lack of Loss
I have been sticking to my exercise routine and have recently upped the duration and exertion in each session, but I am still frustrated with the lack of progress on my problem areas. My problem areas being every part of my body except my forehead, forearms, hands, and feet. I don't really need to lose any weight in any of those areas.

Practical Tips to Lessen Fat in Food Part 2
More tips equals more fat lost! Listen up! 1.   When you see fat in the meat, trim it, even before you cook it! 2.   Choose lean! In shopping for meat, opt for the lean parts.

What to Eat on the 3D Dirty Diet
I am naming my eating plan the 3D dirty diet. I can't guarantee results - I can only tell you that it is working for me - 7 DAYS WITHOUT A BINGE and no urge for one. The longest I have gone in the past two months (yes I was bingeing pre-comp but I didn't tell anyone). Guidelines (no RULES) 1. Eat 5 meals a day 3-4 hours apart.

Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats
Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon flouts conventional wisdom by revealing that so-called healthy vegetable oils (such as corn and soybean) are in large part responsible for our national obesity and health crisis, while the saturated fats traditionally considered “harmful†(from such foods as coconut, butter, and meat) are essential to weight loss and health. Just in time for the FDA’s new mandatory trans fats labeling, the three programs in t

New Obesity Treatment Blocks Vagus Nerve
Doctors are searching for less extreme and less invasive alternatives to bariatric surgery. Right now, there are 2 main bariatric surgery techniques. One is a bypass procedure that removes part of the stomach and reroutes the passage of food. The other puts a band around the top of the stomach to decrease its capacity to hold food. Both are major surgeries with the possibility of serious side effects. But now doctors are testing an implantable device which blocks the vagal nerve. It’s known

Why I am a fan of Leora Pinhas
She's a psychiatric director for the eating disorders program at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. At the recent Canadian Pediatric Society Conference, Dr. Pinhas said two things that endeared her to me. First, she compared childhood eating disorders to cancer: "We have this thing that [they're] not really serious. But one in 10 will die. We need to act like it's a serious illness." Thank you, Dr. Pinhas.* And thank you even more for going on to put the question of eating disor
Fergie Shares Celebrity Weight Loss Regimen

Fergie and her trainer, Natasha, recently shared her awesome workout tips. Check it out below - and then get off the couch! Cardio training: A half-hour, 3-to-5-mile run or a 45-50 minute 5-mile run.

I can read you like a cook: A review of “Kitchen Literacyâ€
As the local-food movement broadens and more people find pleasure in shopping at the local farmers markets and/or in growing their own produce, we find more folks ‘fessing up to their lack of expertise. How do you know when a fruit or vegetable is ripe? What’s the difference between various cuts of meat? What’s in season when, and how best to cook or preserve it? Once upon a time, that knowledge lay more neatly within reach. When families grew their own food, raised their own livestock, or bou
Jenny Craig ads are coming down
Some of you have been asking me "What's up with the Jenny Craig ads? You said you don't like their program, and now you're supporting them. Huh?" I just noticed the ads today, and have asked my blog advertising network to take them down. I didn't realize Jenny Craig ads were coming into the inventory so that's my bad for not staying on top of that. You are correct, I'm not a fan of paid weight loss programs that rely on you eating their packaged foods in order to reach your goal. I'm okay wit

No Wonder You Can't Lose Weight
You must uncover the true source of your weight loss difficulty in order to clear the road for body fat triumph.

Memoir of fat camp a funny, heartfelt tale
The only summer camp I ever went to was Girl Scout camp. I don’t remember how old I was, or much about it at all, other than my cabin got the award for being the cleanest and I had a freak out when they tried to make me jump in the pool (I couldn’t then and still now can’t swim). But I imagine if I’d been a little older, and if I’d gone to a camp with boys, it would have been similar to the experiences Stephanie Klein shares in her new book Moose: A Memoir of Fat Camp. Except probably without
Weight Loss and Nutrition From a Mother's View
When you have a child, as a mother, you do everything possible to make sure your child is given the best nutrition available for that child. As your child grows, it's important to make sure your child is given a proper, nutritionally, well balanced meal even down to the snacks that your give your child fruit being a better more nutritional snack than say cookies or chips. You actually become your own nutritionist. Same goes for exercise and the overall well being of the child. So what happens to all of this knowledge when it comes down to taking care of ourselves and our own well being.
Women - What is Your Body's Baseline Calorie Requirement?
How many calories do you need just to maintain? If you go by the cereal box captions you could be way off! There are many factors to consider but there is a simple way to get a baseline, starting point. As a sports nutrition consultant, and a master's runner, I was curious at what the recent data tells us. It is clear to me that as I've aged, my calorie requirement has gone down. The good part about this is that you, or I can add additional calories to our diet by exercising more, or we can lose weight by eating the same and adding exercise to the equation. Let's talk details...
Eating to Live! How I Lost Over 140 Pounds All Naturally
I want you to know that I have struggled with my weight for over 15 years. I was squeezing into a size 26 dress and it was about to burst. Then I burst into tears and did not go back to that dress shop until (I vowed) I lost the weight I wanted to lose. I made an appointment with my homeopathic doctor, he prescribed a natural supplement and in 8 months (over 2 years ago) I had lost over 140 pounds. I went from a size 26 to a size 2. I wasalso cured of diabetes in the process of the weight loss. I can show you how I did it. I can tell you how I cook and eat to live now instead of living and cooking to eat. I am with you in your struggle. Sometimes I did not want to get out of bed because I dreaded the task of looking for something to wear. I hated going shopping for clothes because I hated going into the plus size section. Also, the disease of diabetes, that had taken out over half my family, was lurking behind my door.

It is weird to talk about someone in the past tense. Even difficult that that someone is now relegated to the past tense never to be mentioned in the present and future tenses. He was funny.

One Forgotten Tip When it Comes to Your Mini Skirt Makeover
One of the keys to looking sexy in your mini skirt, improving your metabolism and increasing your Thermic Effect of Food during the day is to eat every 2 to 3 hours of your waking day, including consuming lean protein with each meal or snack.

Getting Abs For the Beach
I wanted to take the time to share some of the hardest knowledge I've learned. It was for getting abs for the beach.

The Judiciary Committee meets. So it goes.
As one of the few Pinkers who got through the Capitol cop dragnet outside of the House Judiciary Hearing today, I felt I should describe this scene. The Judiciary committee met today to revisit the infamous "Torture Memos" written by John Yoo and David Addington. This is the one with the quote about how it's okay up until pain "equivalent to organ failure." (I don't know how they quite figure that one. When you torture a subject, do you regularly check in: "so, do you feel like one of your

Nibbles: More gym classes don’t help kids, Acomplia OK’d in UK, and unlocking the chocolate genome
More PE didn’t make kids skinnier Some people blame the increase in obese kids on the decrease of physical activity mandated by the schools, but a Canadian study showed that more gym classes didn’t make kids thinner. Researchers looked at 13 different trials, ranging in length from six months to three years, to determine if more exercise significantly changed the body mass index of participants. None of the studies, which included nearly 10,000 children in all, showed that the kids who got the

Slate's Robert Weintraub, like many of us, loves the old purple prose of early 1900s sportswriting, the Grantland Rices, the men who painted epic tales of warriors, grizzled combatants and lardywarks too manly to wear gloves. In an occasional series, Weintraub writes about the week's best baseball game in the style of the vaunted sportswriters of yesteryear.

Jennifer Nicole Lee Fitness Model Program Review - Is This Fitness Program a Scam?
You may have heard of the Fitness Model Program that claims to be able to help anyone achieve the lean and slim bodies that fitness models have.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight?
Have you asked this question to yourself? Why are the extra pounds so hard to shed? Research websites like naturalnews.com site these 4 reasons as the bulge culprits: 1.   Lack of Exercise and Bad Eating Habits- You’ve probably heard this before,- it’s not enough to cut calories. Exercise has to be integrated to your program to speed up your metabolism, and to build up muscle that does the same. This, coupled with too much consumption of junk and fast food ultimately leads to weight gain. 2.
