This is great.

Web MD puts out some good stuff but they also put out some garbage.

Quick oats are not rolled. It's the grain slice very thin so that it cooks quickly. Rolled are just that, rolled. Steel cut are great, nice and chewy but take much longer to cook. Scottish oats are stone ground very coarse and are my favorite type of oats. The intstant oatmeal flavors like the ...

I love oatmeal. I prefer the stone ground Scottish oats or steel cut oats to the rolled or quick oats but it's all good. The old fashion Scottish way of eating oats is with some butter and milk with a sprinkle of salt on the top. It's good that way. I have to mail order the Scottish or steel cut and ...

Best to avoid it altogether. Bad stuff. If you really need a soda now and again, those Steaz Green Tea Sodas aren't too bad. And they don't have all that artificial crap in them. Once in awhile, I'll pick one up at the local health food/supplement shop.

I think it's one of the better "food" mags out there. I think it'd published by the same publisher as Oxygen but I could be mistaken. Tosca Reno definitely walks the walk and she is someone to take seriously. It's a good publication.

I usually drink close to a gallon of water a day but not ice cold. I carry a jug in my truck while working and when it's hot, the water is warm. In winter the water is cold.

I cook it with a handful of blueberries or some chopped up strawberries. I add ground flaxseed and some chopped walnuts or pecans when done. Also I use the Scottish oatmeal from Bob's Red Mill or steel cut oats over the rolled oats most of the time.

Great job! Just keep it up and don't look back.

The problem is not salt but the type of salt. Common table salt is an industrial by-product that's been highly heated, etc., etc. People for whom salt causes high blood pressure can often use unrefined seal salt or Himalayan crystal salt with no problems.

I'm not a food snob. I'm having a Totinos frozen pizza right now. It all fits on one plate.

Bodyweight exercises, pushups, situps, crunches, squats, etc. I do a minimum of 250 puhups a day throughout the day in sets of 50. You can drop and do pushups almost anywhere. I also do YRG (Yoga for regular guys). The DVD's show woman doing it too so it's also for the ladies. All you need is a ...

A lot of diet and exercise programs have cult-like followings because whatever it is has worked for at least some people. This is a good common sense system but Reinhard is human and thus, fallible. I would caution everyone not to get too caught up in the "cult." We are all responsible for our own ...

Guy here. Maybe it's just me but it seems that the boards that are more woman than men are usually more civil than the all or mostly guy boards. I quit going to a few exercise boards because every time you posted a question you might get a few good answers but most of the responses were smart aleck ...

My children and I got in a debate about chocolate quality (comparing Godiva, Lindt and a few other brands).

We decided that a taste test was in order.

So I bought three different brands of dark chocolate, made some lime water for palate cleansing purposes between each taste of chocolate and got ...

Interesting. Thanks.

I do some sort of exercise every day. I lift some weights and use some kettlebells but mostly I do body weight exercises. For instance, today I did 6 circuits of 25 each pushups, jumping jacks, situps, and squats with no rest in between. You get strength building plus a good aerobic workout ...

Some granolas aren't as sweet as others but I love granola. I've lately been getting the kashi brand. It's been on sale and it's very good. I never thought of mixing it with Ezekial 4:9 or Grape Nuts. I like the Ezekial cereal so I might give that a try.

re: descriptive adjectives of overeating.

I say,
Let's all get over it.

It's just a matter of sematics.
Here on the forum, we are a diverse group.
Each of us has our own values, our own ideas of "political correctness".
I feel that anyone should be able to describe his or her own eating behavior ...

I'm a route salesman and am either in the truck or in one of my stops. I don't have access to the internet at work.

Another thing to consider about losing is if you are working out like lifting weights or some other strength building exercise, you could be adding muscle which is more dense than fat. To the naked eye, you might not look like you're making progress and you may weigh the same or even more, but if ...

I usually have a Greek salad which I make at home the night before and put in the fridge - a round of feta cheese, 4 olives, 5 baby tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and red or yellow peppers. On alternate days I have a cheese salad sandwich on multigrain bread. I found that five days of the salad was ...

I'm 47 now but I still remember the first time we did the rope climb in school. The reason I remember is because I was the only kid who made it all the way to the top. I had quite the big head for awhile. You're right. It would have been better with more instruction and safety but we survived. I ...

Tulsa

Actually rope climbing is a great exercise. Maybe the rationale back then was military readiness but rope climbing stands alone as a great exercise.

Exercise and a good diet both play in weight loss and good health. As far as exercise goes, the important thing is to just do something. My wife bought a Schwinn Aerodyne at a garage sale. We both use it some. I had one of those cheapy cross country ski machines that was all over TV 15 years ago or ...

Friday night is my wife and I's date night. We leave the kids at home and go out. We went to Pizza Hut and had the salad bar and one of their new natural pizzas with multi-grain crust and organic toppings. It was very good.

I'm in route sales so I usually eat on the run. I eat in the truck in between stops. A peanut butter sandwich and an apple or banana is the usual. I cut up the apple before leaving home so it's easier to eat.

Whole raw milk is best.

My point in my original post was that the phytoestrogens in beer can hinder fat loss especially in the belly for men and the hips and thighs for women. If you're already happy with he way you look in those areas, then a beer or 2 isn't going to hurt anything. But if you are trying to lose weight ...

I've read over a few things on the web site and I just ordered the book from Amazon. So maybe not a millionaire yet, but you're another small step closer. The millionaire part will come when you start marketing your own line of pre-packaged food items: coming soon to a freezer near you-The No S TV ...

Lots of foods have phytoestrogens in them. Phytoestrogens are estrogen like compounds found in nature. Not all of them behave them same in the body. Some are beneficial. Some mimic the effect of the hormone estrogen in the body. What I mean by "estrogenic" is a food or drink that has phytoestrogens ...

I drink green tea about every day and I also drink kombucha.

I don't have a clue about yams. Sorry.

One thing about beer is that it is highly estrogenic. If he has stubborn belly fat, it's possible (and highly likely) that the fat is estrogen sensitive. Thus consuming something like beer (even one before dinner) will make it that much harder to lose weight. It's just empty calories like soda ...
