To say this past week has been hectic is an understatement. Our little bug was sick and I finally, FINALLY logged in my last week at my 9-5 proper desk job. Needless to say, getting in any sort of real exercise was just not going to happen. How much weight have I lost so far? […]
A few years back, the news was abuzz with a study done at the University of Tennessee that showed those who consumed three low-fat servings of dairy a day lost more weight and body fat than those who didn’t. Remember the name Michael Zemel? He led the study and the dairy industry had a field […]
Childhood obesity is at an all-time high. With kids increasingly sedentary (MySpace, video games) and eating high-fat, high-carb diets, government programs such as We Can! (stands for Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition) are being expanded.
We Can! is a 2-year initiative that puts the majority of the responsibility on the shoulders of the parents. […]
MSNBC has a great article online right now about seven foods that may seem healthy, but actually are not. One in particular, granola bars, made me think: Do people really still consider granola as healthy?
I personally love granola, and would eat it all day if I could. But the fact is, it’s loaded with fat, […]
There’s a lot of talk these days about teaching children how to live healthily, from eating right to playing or getting regular exercise. I believe that if these habits are instilled at a young age, they’ll continue into adulthood.
When I was younger, my parents made sure we sat down and had dinner every night, and […]
There is a kind of chopped salad I get at an Italian place I like to go to here in Tennessee. After eating it a few times, I wondered if I could make it at home. It’s a fairly simple recipe that I’ve made a couple modifications to - and I think you’ll enjoy it.
You […]
When it comes to losing weight, I’ve always thought of 1200 calories as the magic number. It’s the number not to go below, so I’ve always equated it with the maximum amount of weight lost. However, this “magic number” can vary from person to person depending on activity level, weight, age, etc.
I was looking around […]
A new UK study published in the International Journal of Obesity shows that one size may not fit all when it comes to exercise. 35 overweight or obese participants were supervised for 12 weeks while following an exercise program individually designed to burn 500 calories per session.
What they found is that people lost varying […]
The large blue-and-white can of vanilla Spiru-tein brings back some great memories. When I was a young kid visiting my aunt in Utah, she always had some of this stuff around (being kind of a health nut, or at least that’s what I assumed of anyone who drank protein shakes). She’d get out the […]
An article on MSNBC says that according to a Self.com poll, 75 percent of women overindulge on weekends and try to start a major diet on Monday. The problem? Social events like going out to bars or to restaurants.
They’ve developed an “exclusive plan” with a dietician that cuts calories during the week, and brings […]
