After losing 190 pounds with diet and exercise, I can assume that I am very capable of making healthy choices; however, this past weekend illustrated how emotions can contribute to slipups in the healthy lifestyle department. I am as human as anyone else and I ended my week with a weight gain. Through each painful experience I have learned much about managing my emotions. Finding my inner balance may always be a struggle for me and many of you as well. The important factor in finding my inner balance is to modify my behavior through discipline and goal setting. The negative factor in my equation of healthy lifestyle choices are unforeseen events, which by their very...

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Eat This Not That! for Kids is one of the books I have gotten for my daughters written to teach you how to be the leanest family on the block. My daughters enjoy going through the book and discovering that many of the foods we are eating are in the “eat this” category and not in the “not that” category. They keep searching for more healthy options from the “eat this” list to add to what we purchase at the store, or health options for eating out. Eat This Not That! for Kids is available on Amazon.

His choices of foods to sponsor and endorse caused many child obesity experts to denounce his endorsements. Kellogg Co. announced on August 19 that Michael Phelps, winner of eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, will be featured on upcoming boxes of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. No longer is Wheaties the breakfast of champions in stead it’s Tony the Tiger’s GREEAATTT cereal. Phelps has also been serving as ambassador for a program sponsored by McDonald’s to bring Chinese children to the Olympics and serve them American fast food. Consumer Health advocate Mike Adams, offered these words on the questionable c...

Wow, how time flies when you’re having fun. And it is fun. Getting to research and post on all the interesting, informative, bizarre, and oddball health and medical things is like a dream come true… I did some maths and five months working on ‘the Bolt’ equates to around 250 posts between us. That’s a whole lot of words. My choice for Top 5 Posts… Doing a Hasselhoff…new medical slang and it’s companion piece Pumpkin Positive - more medical slang would be my all time favorite post to write. I simply laughed my way through it. On the other hand, it was tears and laughter when writing Randy Pausch’s ‘The Last Lecture’ Revisit...

I remember watching Jack La Lanne, the TV health fitness evangelist, when I was a boy, 45 years ago. My Mom would turn him on, and would occasionally bend and stretch with his show. You couldn't help but admire his strength and vitality. It was clear he was doing something that everyone ought to do.It turns out, of course, that his advice - exercise and diet - was solid then and is solid now. Now 93, Mr. La Lanne's life and achievements are chronicled in, of all places, the Costco Connection. If nothing else, in checking out this article you'll learn, for example, that in 1956, at age 42, he set a new world record by doing 1,033 pushups in 23 minutes on the TV show You Asked For It. Or that in 1984, at age 70, handcuffed and shackled, he swam 1....
