    Cathe - a question about your diet

    Hi Reese, I'm not Cathe but my answer would be yes, a low glycemic diet would be considered "clean". Most diet books advocate "clean" eating in some form or another and lower glycemic foods tend to be high in fiber and nutrients. I also think that cutting sugar from your diet is a big step...

    FitTV and DVDs

    Yes, FIT Tv edits Cathe's workouts so they can insert their commercials. I always knew they were shorter versions but didn't realize how much shorter until I bought Power Hour. They cut out 3 whole sections from Power Hour to accommodate commercials. Tracey "Where there's a will, there's a...

    What was your first?

    I discovered Cathe on Fit Tv too. It was 4 years ago but I am pretty sure my first workout with Cathe was Power Hour. I don't know what it is but, hers are the only workouts I've been able to stick to long term and no matter how many times I do them, they don't get boring. Tracey...

    Why do some people think weather is so important??

    My husband is from Tennessee and we live in Georgia now. I absolutely hate the South! Whenever I bring up the subject of moving his response is "it's too cold" or in Washington's case "it rains all the time". It gets plenty cold in Georgia. Overnight temps have been in the teens and 20's the...

    Mayo in chicken and tuna salad

    I typically use regular mayo and just watch the portion size. You can also try some of the mayos mixed with healthier fats like the one by Smart Balance. I've also used avocado as a healthier substitute for mayo. Lower fat foods are typically more processed to improve the flavor so I avoid...

    Online Mortgage Lenders?

    I also recommend Lending Tree. It saves you some shopping around because you get multiple quotes. We've used them for two refinances and both times we were happy. If you are concerned about meeting someone locally, just try to choose a local bank from the options you're given. We started off...

    Amazon or Ebay

    >I am a big fan of Amazon over eBay, > Ditto! I just got rid of a Christi Taylor DVD on Amazon. Once you put the item for sale, all you have to do is wait until someone buys it. Amazon sends you an email when its purchased and you ship it. I plan to put more of my workouts and a few books...

    O/T Stainless Steel Cookware

    I have a stainless steel set by Townecraft and the salesman said the secret is to cook at the right temperature and allow the pan to thoroughly heat up before you start cooking. I don't always adhere to the rule so when I do get some sticking, a little soak with some water while the pan is...

    New CIAs

    3 things about YOU

    1. I never learned to ride a bike, roller skate, swim... all those things that normal kids do. My mother was very over protective and still is! I keep saying I'm going to at least learn to swim. It still hasn't happened. 2. I can't wink with my left eye and it takes quite a bit of...

    Gripe about "natural" products

    RE: Gripe about Amy, I think the reason that some companies see grapefruit seed extract as an ingredient to be avoided is because there are several studies that have determined that the only reason grapefuit seed extract has antimicrobial activity is because it is often doctored with...

    Gripe about "natural" products

    RE: Gripe about Hi Amy, I agree that marketers have really exploited the term "natural" so that its become meaningless. I've used the Avalon Rosemary deodorant and it works if you're not a sweater. I tend to perspire in my armpits so I can only use Avalon deodorant if it's cool outside or...

    Good mood diet book?

    Hi Alicia, No, I haven't read that book but another book along that same vein is called "The Kitchen Shrink". It's basically a book of recipes that are supposed to help with issues such as depression, binge eating, blood sugar balance, forgetfulness, etc... It is not a diet book per se, but...
