I agree with Carola. The thing to be most watchful for is the High Fructose Corn Syrup ... avoid that as much as possible. Not all fat is terrible (unless you are trying to reverse heart disease), so aim for ~20-25% of your calories to be from fat (hopefully heart healthy ones that have more...

Some people start out with a non-slip rug or mat in place of their step until they feel more comfortable with the moves. Then move up to the 4" platform before using any risers. It's a progression, be patient with yourself. No one would suggest a person start out on a Harley when they haven't...

I make applesauce and freeze it when my apples are starting to get soft. It's extremely easy ... just clean, quarter and heat with a little water. When softened, put them through a food mill. You can sweeten and spice w/cinnamon to taste, or leave plain. And the fresh, warm sauce is...

Thanks for posting this Angela! I'm looking forward to them! DEb

Thanks for your help everyone! I'm kinda excited about this. I've been on a detox diet for the past month and next week I'll be able to start adding back red meat, eggs and dairy, but I'm not sure I want to. There was a week in the detoxing in which all animal and soy products were...

Thanks Shannon ... Vegan Planet is now in my shopping cart at Amazon. Deb

I'm considering easing into more vegetarian/vegan eating. What books would you recommend for this? Also, what brand of soy milk do you recommend both for the nutritional value and the taste? Or do you prefer rice or almond milk? TIA, Deb

I rec'd my shipping notice late this afternoon. I order on Tuesday, August 28, 2007, innvoice # 16191. I'll be recieving mine on Friday, in Michigan. Yea! Deb

I'd suggest Kick,Punch and Crunch (KPC) ... my favorite. CTX Kickboxing is part of CTX series so you have to purchase the entire series to get it unless you find it VHS on Ebay. Cardio Kicks was Cathe's first kb, and her form isn't as good as it is now; it also has a lot of high impact...

I live in Mid-Michigan and we have a micro-climate that causes us to have fewer days of sun than the rest of the state and consequently, more cases of Season Affective Disorder. The university here has a special clinic for SAD, and yes, the treatment is sitting next to a lamp daily during the...

RE: I agree with Heather. There is no need to make comments on other people's body size, unless you are good friends with the person and know what is going on with them and you are trying to be supportive. But we need to be careful. I remember when my father was battling cancer and when he...

RE: Those Using Hey Leanne and Nancy, Wanted to thank you for bringing this book to my attention. I rec'd it late last week and took the test over the weekend. I'm a DSPW, the "desperate" skin type. Discovered I've been using some inappropriate products, while others are appropriate...

Thanks for pointing this out! And thanks to Dove for creating it! Deb

Awhhhh... she's darling and I'm so glad she's doing so well! I think I enjoy hearing about her progress as I also had a grand-neice born on Aug.27 (she's doing fine too) after an anxious pregnancy. Thanks for sharing! Deb

Jerry, that sounds fantastic! You seem really enthusiastic and that is one of the best characteristics of a good instructor. Go for it and have fun! Deb

Rosely, I'm so glad you decided to take ownership of your health and get your blood work done. Use it as a baseline to measure your progress ... you can get another next year to see the difference you've made this year. It can be another motivator to make healthier choices. I understand some...

I often get them ... have never had a bad reaction. Last year I was the only person in my department who did not become ill with the flu. I'd much rather work than be laid up with the flu. Deb

Did you use the step for the forward lunges or the backward lunges? Or both? And what size step ... 4, 6 or 8 inches? TIA, Deb

Max looks really happy now ... so glad it worked out. congratulations! Deb

Double yikes! I'd be angry and upset in whose-ever shoes in this situation. OTH, the most common mistake in any field is human error. Even the best scientist, technician, doctor, nurse, etc. can make an error at some point in her/his career. Safeguards are in place and everyone wants to do a...
