No More Reading Food Labels |
| 12/29/2008 3:51:01 PM |
| Or at least, less reading if the new Smart Choices Program has anything to do with it. Did you hear about this new nutritional labeling program? After reviewing the details I (for the most part) like it. Dietitians of America have developed a big label that has a large green check mark, number of calories, and number of servings in the product. There are guidelines for... Read More |

Is China Fatter Than The US? |
| 12/22/2008 1:36:21 PM |
I just read an article that stated China now has 1/3 of its population plagued by obesity. While it pales in comparison to the United States at 2/3...but remember, China has 1.3 Billion people compared to the states tiny 300 million. China has more obese people that the US has citizens!
Estimates say that China will reach the 2/3 obesity range in about 10 years at the... Read More |

Big Applause for New York Governor |
| 12/18/2008 10:17:18 PM |
Did you see the proposed "fat tax" by the governor of New York? Put a 15% tax on non-diet sodas and other sugary drinks that contain less than 70% fruit juice. There is opposition to the tax as you can imagine...that it is unfair to single out sodas - but forget that...you have to start somewhere.
There was a lot of opposition to cigarette taxes, and there has... Read More |

| 12/16/2008 8:31:37 PM |
Do you have one? A clothes rack with a belt you can walk on...handles on the side...digital screen...plugs in to the wall - you know the one..."oh wait, that is my treadmill!" I am making light of a situation that is very common, so if you have one of these "clothes racks", don't feel like you are alone, you are not!
But the good news is - you can... Read More |

Snack Packs Help Shed Pounds. |
| 12/11/2008 9:22:15 PM |
You have most likely heard of the 100 Calorie Snack Packs. As a matter of fact, I have blogged about them before. I like them. Here is the way I look at it - you get your "sweets" fix, but only spend 100 calories...not bad. And of the snack packs, it really doesn't matter which one you choose - just pick the one that fills your need.
There was a recent study... Read More |

Blog Series I - Why is America Getting Fatter? "Eat Fast, Get Fat!" |
| 12/4/2008 6:58:30 AM |
Bob and I are always trying to figure out why America is getting fatter and fatter. We have recently spoke of the "Holiday 10", which has mysteriously transformed over the years into the "Holiday 15". We know there are more processed foods, high fructose corn syrup has reared it's ugly head, and dairy has become a "health" food, but...
We are... Read More |

You Don't Walk Fat Off Your Body! |
| 12/2/2008 4:08:35 PM |
I was reading a forum post on a popular health and fitness site and how people were claiming to walk "x" times per week and melt fat off their body. It is one thing for the non-fitness professional to make these claims, but there were posts from people claiming to be in the industry - and saying walking will melt fat off your body...
Not much fat.
Staying away from... Read More |
