To be honest. Dieting is lame! I don’t care who you are and where you’re from. You can’t honestly tell me that dieting is the best thing ever. We diet not because we wholeheartedly want to. It’s because we either want something or it’s a necessity. The perfect scenario would be if it was possible to lose weight and be healthy while eating loads of junk food. Wouldn’t that be sweet. Sadly that is just not the reality we live in. So we diet our way to a leaner body and work our asses off in the gym. Well that’s what I do… sort of. It’s been working though. I feel great and I can see signs of a six-pack forming on my abdomen area, so what I’m doing must be working. You must ...

Dietary guidelines for Americans was first published  in 1980 and has been updated every five years.   To prevent heart trouble, we are told to stay away from fats.  Obesity is no longer a sign of prosperity Three times as many adults are now obese compared to 50 years ago and twice as many as 20 years ago. Being heavy was a sign of prosperity and being socially successful in the past. If one was not overweight it showed he could not make his way in life, nor obtain enough to eat. Today however the poorest and least educated American is very obese.Obesity causes type II diabetes and over 10% of our medical costs. In the last 10 years the costs have risen from $74 billio...

(The previous paragraph is filled with lies. Big, fat ones.) I wish I was a precision carb counter. I wish I had the patience for it, always either eating pre-packaged and factory-analyzed foods or spending my time carefully measuring and weighing any home cooked adventures. But I am not a precision carb counter. I’m a precision carb guesser. (more…) *This blog post was originally...

A rep for the company tells Medgadget: Called Carb Counting with Lenny, it’s offered for free download on the Apple iTunes App Store for the iPhone, iTouch and iPad. It’s great for parents (and even adults with diabetes have enjoyed it too), as the app features a guide presenting nutritious food choices with associated serving sizes and carbohydrate values. The other key components of the app are fun, interactive games that help reinforce carb counting skills and keep children engaged. And just in case you are not fully familiar with Lenny the Lion, he is a global ambassador for children&#821...

Today let’s blog about what we eat. And perhaps what we don’t eat. Some believe a low carb diet is important in diabetes management, while others believe carbs are fine as long as they are counted and bolused for. Which side of the fence do you fall on? What kind of things do you eat for meals and snacks? What foods do you deem bolus-worthy? What other foodie wisdom would you like to share?"Short and sweet for me tonight folks.  It's late, I'm tired, and this is a sore subject for me.Ok, here's the deal.  I am absolutely addicted to carbohydrates.  I eat weird (aka - all carbs), and I'm trying to change.  I have been trying to change for as long as I can remember.  But it is hard.  It is very hard.&...

Preventing high blood sugar is key because it gives diabetics the flexibility to eat what choose their foods, and it increases their sense of control when managing diabetes. After a few attempts, most diabetics gain confidence as they measure the sugars and starches that they put into their bodies. To learn how to count carbs, find a registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator. Both have experience teaching diabetics about how to manage their diet.

We always think of carbs as adding to health problems such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but rarely does the subject of dental health arise. Until now. A new article in this month’s Dental Research magazine says that “poor dental health has been linked to a number of chronic diseases.” The article argues that dentists should be asking their patients about their nutritional habits as part of their regular care.

Of course, the less you cut back the less you’ll lose. And the less you exercise the less you’ll lose. So while I don’t recommend doing anything drastic, I also don’t recommend doing nothing or next to nothing. Drastic measures are impossible to maintain. Doing nothing is hard to live with. Take the middle way: eat a little less and exercise a little more. Keep it up and very gradually increase your efforts. There’s an old adage of “no pain, no gain.” In a way this is true in that some effort is required, but if the pain is too great you’ll stop in a few weeks and there will surely be no gain. Take the middle way instead. Start small. Eat a little less and exercise a little more. And get a lot of support. I wish you the best of luck. (Source: Dr. Z's M...

Many of us have accepted that bottled water is rarely the best option, public transportation beats a gas-guzzling SUV, and recycling is just plain responsible. Of course, not everyone’s on board with practicing environmentally friendly manners, and you can find some of the most biting controversy when you eavesdrop on a brawl conversation between a vegetarian and a meat eater. That’s right — these two groups argue about more than just animal rights and health concerns. On one hand, some people believe a vegetarian diet is actually “greener” for the planet (and yes, this is where global warming makes its re-entrance). E Magazine offe...

I know it is shocking. If I could ever get my head to turn off it would be a small miracle… Anyway, I thought that every evening I would post what I had eaten that day as well as my blood sugar readings. Kind of like a journal of sorts. It will be as much for me as you. I think this will help me to ensure that I stay right on track and keep my diet tight and under control as well as showing you what foods have an effect on MY blood sugars. I know that everyone is different but there are some foods/carbs that will be no brainers and will have effects across the board. I will also record my daily activity/exercise.

In fact, according to recent studies, eating just one serving of whole grains can reduce your risk of high blood pressure by 4%. That might not seem like much, but it's a pretty promising result for such a small change in your lifestyle. Imagine the difference you could make to your heart health if you changed all of your grains to whole grains?Cutting your blood pressure risk is as easy as switching from regular pasta to whole wheat, from white toast to whole wheat. You might not like the taste at first but you'll get used to it. I used to live for white bread and now I only eat whole wheat -- it's the only kind of bread I have a...

Should you have carbs for quick energy? Protein for endurance?Nothing? Forbes has the following suggestions: Start your day out with a light breakfast that low in fat and high in fibre with a bit of protein. Some bran flakes with fruit and fat-free milk is perfect. A smoothie is a great energizer for a cardio workout. Just make sure it doesn't have any refined sugars. Have a bit of protein mixed with carbs before lifting weights -- like peanut butter, almonds or string cheese An energy bar is a good on-the-go snack if you have no other options. Make sure it has less than 200 calories and more than 5 g of fiber A perfect pre-workout lunch...

I swear, this is really quite interesting reading.Michaels (44) is the longtime vocalist with the campy hair metal band "Poison," most famous for the weepy 1988 power ballad "Every Rose Has its Thorn." Don't laugh. The guy has sold 25 million albums. Anyway, about the diabetes: Michaels was diagnosed with the condition at age six. The early diagnosis, Michaels says, was a blessing in disguise in that he grew up accepting it as part and parcel of everyday life. He remembers going to insulin shock at least four times as a child, and recalls one incident when his father, afra...

And I'm never sure if I'm buying into the right practice. Should I eat low-fat foods, for example, or should I stick with moderate amounts of regular food? Is red meat a good source of protein and other goodies or a direct path to breast cancer recurrence? Will sunscreen save my life or cause malignant lesions to develop on my fair skin?
