It’s not often that positive messages about healthy living get out there. It’s RARE that the word “DIET” is out there in a negative or neutral context. But that’s exactly what happens in this video with Sam Kass, White House Chef when he said “we don’t diet – it’s a lifestyle”. THANK YOU! It is so important for the public to hear dieting in a negative context. People equate healthy living to dieting. That is not the case. Changing your behaviors to eat more nutritious may feel like “dieting” because it is so new, but when you eat healthy, nourishing foods your body will naturally lose weight if you need to. People also equate “not dieting” to eating without any boundar...

After all, desserts are usually sky high in calories, which can lead to unwanted weight gain.  Additionally, desserts are high in rapidly absorbable carbohydrates like sugar and white flour, which can lead to spiking blood sugars. But with some smart strategies, you can enjoy desserts and sweet treats as part of your diabetic diet and still meet your blood glucose goals. Read on for a few tips, along with some recipes taken from Fuel Up, a cookbook by Registered Dietitian Georgie Fear. Tip #1: Learn how to cook with sugar substitutes for sweet taste without sugarLow-calorie sugar substitutes can help you create delicious sweets without all the carbohydrates, sugar, or ca...

New York was exhausting, mainly because of the fifth floor walk up, and also because unfortunately the landlord was a total asshole. Didn't let them move in til the third then gave them the wrong keys so we couldn't get in. Then she had the gall to be mad at me when I called her at 1 a.m. to have her drive over and let us in. She did not, but had another tenant go down the fire escape and let us in. Instead of using the cancer card, I used the lawyer card instead. Now Laura and her roommate are considering law school. Wow, should have used the cancerous lawyer card. She would probably be getting free rent or something.Her apartment is very cute, the area is quite nice. However, her roommates mother is...

Sadly, you only have your own drunkenness to blame. Apparently, people who are under the influence of alcohol can’t detect asymmetrical faces as well as sober people. Generally, we are more attracted to people with symmetrical faces. Women are more prone to being affected by “beer goggles” than men, the study says. This might be because men are more visually oriented, so they pay more attention to what they see. Have you ever been totally attracted to someone while sipping a few glasses of wine, only to find that you aren’t attracted to them at all later? via Discovery Post from: BlissTree Dating: The Science Behin...

Yep, that’s right – Le Weekend. We’ve got big plans for the next few days (see below). How ’bout you? Eat cucumbers. This vine vegetable is sorely under-appreciated. We’re going to eat a cuke-centric dish at least once this weekend. Eat energy bars. We don’t always have time to cook delish dinners, so we’d better be prepared. Bake a batch of cookies. It’s almost time for our summer-long baking hiatus to come to an end, and we won’t even break the bank on fancy baking gear. Try aromatherapy. Or at least buy some nice-smelling soaps. We’re thinking lavender. Sleep. We know we say this a lot, but this weekend we’re dismissing our alarm clocks. We’re going to need o...

It’s the sound of the weekend calling your name. We’re getting goosebumps of excitement. Here are ten things you’ll find us doing over the next two days: Rethink our shampoo choice. Our old brands are full of harsh chemicals, and we’re guessing eco-friendly brands smell just as good – or better. Continue our crafting. Last week we tried crocheting, and this weekend we’ll try our hand at knitting. Take all day to plan a beautiful meal. We’ll definitely be sure to take some photos, too. We’re sure the food will look amazing, but we also want proof that we slaved in a hot kitchen all day. Give up Coke for the weekend.

The message, of course, was that the Bard and all the other Klondike-cravers took the  deals for the dessert, not, obviously, for the love of what they were being bribed to do.  They just wanted the reward – even the biggest idiot understood that.

This isn’t the first time legislators have considered trying to squeeze a little money out of us while micro-managing our lives.  Editorializes the Boston Herald: Earlier this year Gov.

I’m talking about chocolate! Yes sir, dark gold, pure happiness! You’ve probably heard the buzz about dark chocolate, and how it’s good for your blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, prevents cancer and can fix nearly anything that is wrong with you, except that expanding waistline. (And for the record — white chocolate is not really chocolate at all. It’s milk solids and fat. No cocoa. Nada.) The basic ingredients of dark chocolate include cacao beans, sugar, soy lecithin (an emulsifier to preserve texture), and flavorings. This yummy treat, which contains fewer milk solids than its more popular cousin, milk chocolate, often is rated by the percentage of cocoa solids in the bar. The ...

Chocolate Chip seemed the most popular but the Lemon Yoghurt and Chocolate Peanut Butter were a close second and third. But the winner of the ‘one-month supply of Detour Runner Bars’, according to my trusty random number organizer, is…. Steve who said ‘I just started training for a half-marathon in May. I think the Peanut Butter Chocolate bars would be a good energy boost’. Congratulations Steve. You should be getting an email shortly with directions on how and where to provide your mailing address. And good luck to you with the half-marathon. I’m sure these detour bars will help. As for the rest of the us, there is always a chance to win tomorrow.

Non-Starbucks people won't get it, but try one, and you will . . . They are awesome indeed, and addictive. Only here for a short time, too short to say the least.

There is nothing more depressing for the family doctor than trying to advise a slim, trim, lycra clad, non-smoking, gym-visiting middle-aged vegetarian, who has just has his first heart attack, on life style changes.So much easier to help the flabby lounge lizard who is three stone overweight and has not taken exercise since TV remote controls were invented.Now we hear that fatties who have heart attacks may have a better prognosis than the the health freaks.

The ban exempts some military veterans' halls and other private clubs -- and the ASC says this is not OK. The exemption waters down the law and exposes people to secondhand smoke, say ACS spokeswoman Wendy Simpkins.The smoking ban was approved by 58 percent of voters in November, took effect in December, and will result in fining beginning the first week in May. The law prohibits smoking in most public places, such as restaurants, bars, and office and excludes tobacco shops, designated hotel rooms, and enclosed areas of nursing homes. Halls and clubs can be excluded from the law only if there are no employees.Jay Carey, spokesman for the sta...
