Hi Karen, You might want to check out Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. He discusses several of the popular diets and explains why they do not work. It would be a good reference for your paper. The Thrive Diet, by Brendan Brazier is also full of information about nutrition. Although he...

Over a year ago I read Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle and was able to lose some weight and build some muscle. However, after tracking my food intake for a while I was tired of having to log everything that went into my mouth. Also, because I did not eat meat or poultry at the time, I found...

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge on the protein thread. I will definitely be checking out The China Study :)

Thanks for the interesting post. My mom and I are big diet Pepsi drinkers. I was getting concerned about the amount I was drinking so I stopped totally for a week and found that I was less hungry. I then went vacation and started drinking it again and I find that I am hungrier even though I...

Isn't is a great feeling! I don't know if I could fit anything from highschool, but I was sure thrilled when I put on my wedding dress and it looked better than on my wedding day :) I wish I had been lifting weights back then lol.

Okay - I am going to floss my teeth right now!

After watching the kids in my daughters' gymnastics classes I would definitely be a gymnist. My youngest is 3 and there is a little girl in her class that is amazing. I'm actually going to check if they offer adult beginner classes - it looks like an great workout for strength and...

Great rundown Kim! I was going to post part of a letter to Stephen Harper from the Yarn Harlot's blog (http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2008/09/28/dear_mr_harper.html) that explained our political system, but your post said it all. I was also kind of curious as to why you would never...

Thanks Kathryn. I have been rinsing it in a strainer, so I am probably not getting all the coating off. I'll try again with a couple of Tums nearby :)

That's okay Lori - I don't really know what is going on with it either! I started this thread for a chuckle - it seems like we Canucks have a reputation as being overly polite for a reason :D

Thanks for replying Kim! I am laughing right now because this thread only has 23 views!! Personally, I find the Stephen Harper commercials insulting as they are so scripted and insincere with the canned elevator music. I get discouraged sometimes when I see the options for leadership. I...

My knees make all sorts of interesting noises :) I was concerned too, but my doctor said that as long as there was no pain associated with the noises that I shouldn't worry.

I was just wondering why there are no heated debates about the upcoming Canadian Election. There has to be at least a couple people interested LOL :D

I would like to know why this is also. I can't drink tea in the morning or I get totally nauseated :(. I would really like to cut back on my morning coffee and switch to something healthier like green tea.

I really love quinoa and used to be able to eat it with no problem. Now whenever I eat it I get terrible stomach cramps. Has anyone else had this happen? Maybe it is the brand I am buying? I recently bought it bulk from the health food store, so maybe that is the problem. Could it be...

I just finished Lisey's Story by Stephen King. I really enjoy when he has a woman as the main character and I thought this was a really good one. I also read Freedom from Addiction by David Simon and Deepak Chopra. I really liked this book, but I am not free yet :) A couple of weeks ago...

I would buy a bunch of luxurious yarns and a complete set of bamboo knitting needles. Then I would get some NON-Walmart fitness clothing so that I don't have to keep pulling up my pants when I run. OR A laptop so that I don't have to take turns with my 6 year old and 3 year using...

The point of caring is that it makes YOU feel good. Anytime you act or think in a positive life affirming way creates positive energy for the rest of the universe, regardless of how others react. They are on their own paths and all you can do is set an example and know that you are doing what...

I lived in the Lower Mainland (Vancouver area) of BC for 25 years and had gotten used to two seasons: less rain (summer) and depression time-gray (the rest of the year). Since moving to the Kootenays, I love each and every season as it unfolds. Fall is amazing here - the leaves change, the...
