    Nutrition: Baking a Low gi - Protein bread loaf

    I have had luck with whole wheat flour, and oat flour, and have used whey protein (to a certain extent - I feel if you put too much it throws the flavor off - I used it in place of dry milk where a recipe calls for it). I have never tried rice flour. I have used flaxseed, wheat germ, rye and...

    Amy Bento pre-sale: 20th Aug

    Thanks, Clare, for keeping us updated. I am definitely getting the ASC5, and the pre-sale is a great deal. I am not sure about the kickboxing one - I am not huge into kickboxing but the format sounds interesting. Guess I will have to see a clip and make the call.

    Heart Rate Monitor

    I have the F4 and the H7 - and i have to say i really love the H7. Someone gave it to me as a gift and I already had the F4 and I thought at first I would return it, but as the pp said you can use it with the Polar Beat app on the iphone and see all the great graphs and when you peak and it is...

    Kitteh's exercise on the Cathe Slide-n-Glide discs

    Yes, you are right, I would have to get him his own pair! From there it is a vicious cycle . . . they both covet the yoga mat as well. :)

    Kitteh's exercise on the Cathe Slide-n-Glide discs

    This is my first time with attachments, so I hope this works . . . my cat LOVES when I break out the slide-n-glide discs. I always turn one upside down for her, and she goes bananas, scratching, pawing, rubbing it with her whiskers and then finally laying down for a nap - all while I am...

    Besides Cathe's newest, what other workout releases are you looking forward to?

    I was going to say Amy Bento's new Step (ASC5) workout - I had heard that it was supposed to come out early this year, and then no more updates so I am not sure when now, but totally psyched for it when it does come!!

    Healthy foods you just CAN'T stomach

    I am also a beet hater; I have tried them a million different ways. They always make me a tad nauseous. Something about how they feel in the mouth. Also papaya. Which I really wish I liked. Ick.

    Anyone try PB2?

    Here is a not-so-healthy cooking secret for you: Use PB2 in your peanut butter cookies. OMG, it really amps the peanut butter flavor. People always want to know my recipe - it is the standard 1:1 peanut butter cookies (peanut butter, sugar, egg, baking soda, salt) but I add the PB2. :eek...

    Who has had gallbladder surgery & how long was your recovery?

    My surgeon mainly told me to take it slow, and to stop if something felt too challenging. I think also I was not allowed to lift heavy for some number of weeks, but can't remember now how long. My surgeon, just like jackie7, couldn't believe how quickly I healed - I wanted to be like, dude, if...

    Fitness App recommendation?

    Audryb, thanks for the tip! I do have an iPhone, and did not know that about the refund on iTunes - that will come in very handy.

    Fitness App recommendation?

    I know that apps have been discussed here before, and I went back to search and see if I could find what I am looking for. Basically, I am looking for more of a tracking app - what I would really like is something that pairs up via ant+ or bluetooth with my heart rate monitor and tracks my...

    Super short cardio premixes?

    Do you want the 10-15 minutes to include warmup & cooldown/stretch? Not necessarily as a premix, but if I want a quick in/out I will sometimes do my own warmup (quick but vigorous) and then do one of the tabatas in X10 or CrossFire/TTM. Either of the two HIIT sections from Intensity are...

    Exercise Program for Elderly Parent

    All of these are good suggestions - I wanted to particularly second the chair aerobics suggestion. My Mom had polio when she was young and as a result has a very weak leg that gets worse as she gets older, so aerobics involving the lower body (just walking long distances is hard) is out for...

    A request for one-screen menus

    Thanks for the response, SNM! We always appreciate how you read and take the time for our requests. I understand the limits w/chapters per page, especially with the readability issue in terms of font size. I just wanted to second the posters' request for core and stretch being at the front -...

    Salt, Sugar Fat by Michael Moss

    This was a really great book - full of interesting information, and I thought his style of writing was really engaging. I agree with the pp on the "bliss point" discussion. Truly fascinating. I wish there had been some discussion on how to make your body avoid responding to the bliss point...
