Well, it’s been a tough week. The weekly weigh-in is likely to be a bust.
I mentioned earlier that I was going on a business trip this week. I’m still on the trip, but added to the fun is the fact that I had the flu. This wasn’t your average flu either. […]
Not on the trip, on keeping to plan!
Traveling is the biggest diet killer of them all. When you’re at home, it’s easy to keep your routine once you’ve got it. But then, when you’re on the road and evening rolls around it can just be so enticing to eat something you shouldn’t, or […]
I saw this article over on Boing Boing and thought I’d post it here as well.
Why Don’t The French Get As Fat As Americans? Americans Eat Until The TV Show Is Over
We have found that the heavier a person is — French or American — the more they rely on external cues to tell them […]

When I go to the grocery store, I am amazed by the abundance and variety of food on the shelves. And yet, […]
Please do not eliminate all food from your diet.
I know that sounds kind of odd, but I read Brenda Emmett’s cautionary tale of the Kimkins diet over at Weight Reduction Coach and felt I had to say something. So scary that people actually did this…
Every once in awhile I fast for a day. […]
Tim Ferris, of the 4-hour work week fame, posted this interview with a passing reference to ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes back in April of last year, but I just stumbled across it a few days ago. [There is actually a good interview with Dean over on Trifuel - sorry for the confusion].
I read Karnazes book back […]
I forget that when I go into diet mode my food choices make people scratch their heads.
For example, yesterday I made a Spinach-Bean Glop that is both tasty (to me) and filling. It has plenty of protein and nutrients and just enough carbohydrates to keep me from feeling starved (but low-low sugar). […]
