    High fat diet- good or bad?

    I think that this might be a good idea to do once or twice per week, but not on a regular basis. High fat diets are linked to breast cancer and other problems. Also, to stay at a low calorie level, the volume of food would be pretty low. I think that an occasional "fat shock" might be good...

    Nice to meet you!

    any good summer appetizer ideas?

    I saw Bobby Flay do a variation of this using soft goat cheese and roasted corn, minus the bacon. Sounds good!

    Candida Overgrowth

    Yup, take an active acidopholous and yogurt every day. If that doesn't help, then move on to low/no sugar lifestyle.

    So what is your favorite hobby?

    Reading, gourmet cooking (and eating!), and I used to do improvisational comedy theatre and dance (not simultaneously) but I don't have time for that since I've gone back to school. I really miss it and promise to get back into it when I finally graduate--at age 39! :eek:

    Conventional food as nutritious as organic: study

    Yup, I choose local first, and some items I'll buy organic, others I don't. If it's something I'm eating within 1 or 2 days, organic, if not, then no. I think that the true "nutrition" of produce varies according to soil and environment. I watched a great show on BBC which compared...

    Loving the neti-pot

    I don't have allergies, but I use it whenever I feel a cold coming on. I notice that I either don't get the cold, or the duration is shorter. Regarding youtube, just don't use scotch in the netipot like some weirdo did.

    Restaraunt food is not my friend.

    I'm somehow able to maintain weight on vacation. I think that it's because I don't get in an intense workout, so my appetite doesn't get out of control. Also, when I eat in restaurants, the food is so rich, that I never feel the need to snack or indulge any other time. It's certainly not a...

    Grew up in Grand Rapids and Detroit Suburbs, MI. Lived for 1.5 years in Phoenix W. Valley suburbs, lived now for 3 years in Philly burbs (Delaware County). I think that we will move next to Ft. Walton Beach, FL. My husband is active duty AF, so we move around a bit. It's pretty amazing that...

    Workouts for Young Girls

    I think that starting out with walking and some workouts at home would be good for her. They should be fun and not so complicated that she gets discouraged. I think that Basic Step and LIS would be fun, maybe also something kickboxing related. It can be hard for an overweight girl to start...

    Looking for the best shoes

    I just got these, and they are awesome. Nike used to be too narrow, but these seem to be wide in the toes and more narrow in the heel, which is perfect for me. Nike Reax CR

    Delusion, or right where I need to be?

    Even if your heart rate doesn't go over a certain level on your walks, with the amt you do, you are still burning fat, calories, and exercising your heart. Since you are walking for transportation, I'd just do your current walks, one day of full body circuit, 2 days of heavy lifting, and some...

    What's your stage name?

    Sunshine Breton. Actually sounds kind of cute. I like my "pimp name" which is favorite ice cream flavor and then your favorite cookie. Heathbar Crunch Snickerdoodle. It's pretty bad a$$. ;)

    What's best for my legs

    Well, luckily you can't really "error" with your choices! I bet that 4DS, Slow & Heavy, B&G, and maybe KPC with a whole lot of walking and clean eating would do it for you.

    Weight gain in the thirties

    At age 30, I went from being a true pear, to more of an hourglass. Before, I'd never gain above the bellybutton. Now I've got a little more tummy, and way jigglier arms. I used to be able to work off my junk food cave-ins, but now I really can't. Diet is so much more important.
