Sorry for not posting in so long. This is a quick update just to let anyone know who's watching that I'll be making a full update in the next day or two. The reason for my lack of posting is that I had some second thoughts about "blogging." I've always felt that having a blog is somewhat vain and I've also felt that people probably don't really care what the average "Joe User" has to say. However, I've given it some thought and I do feel that I've had a positive experience w/this diet and...

  The main cause of death in the US emerged yesterday as not smoking, but obesity.   Statistics published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that in the year 2000, 400,000 Americans died from poor diet and physical inactivity.   Since 1990, the number of people killed by gross fatness has increased by 33%, whereas tobacco related death has decreased by a disappointing 1%   Two thirds or 130 milli...

There are lots of tiny girls out there. I've known it for a while. I've pretended not to be bothered by it. I told myself that they have bad personalities, or they're ugly, or something like that. I tried to make myself feel better about not being tiny. But it's all come to an end. I used to have a visible four-pack. It was sexy as hell. Of course, that was three years ago, when I was in gym class every day, but still. I can change that. I need to change that. I can't handle it anymore...

I thought I would share this with my fellow carboholics. I recently changed my way of eating drastically. I am a person that loves a cup of coffee and something sweet for breakfast. Not a big breakfast eater. The thought of eggs for breakfast didn't sound great to me but when I was told that up to 6 eggs a week was quite healthy and if I ate an egg for breakfast I would find I was less hungry and would burn more fat and less muscle, I figured I would try it out. I alternate an egg breakfast w...

Ok, Smartaz made a comment earlier about Renee Zellweger being a little on the lean side. I agreed, and it led me thinking about other painfully skinny women in the media. Lara Flynn Boyle immediately comes to mind, as do Courtney Cox Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Calista 'I turn sideways and disappear' Flockhart (although she has gained a few lbs recently), Debra Messing (pre-pregnancy)...I know there are more, I just can't think of them right now! So, what's the deal? I think they all ...

My wife and I are on a diet. I'm trying to lose about 10 pounds this year. The diet we're following calls for it to start with 3 days of cleansing the system of starches and sugars. It's not so much fasting as it is trying to get us over our addiction to starches and sugars. And holy cow am I an addict. I never realized how much in starches and sugars I consume each day. I would start out the day with French toast. Then grab a glazed donut or two on the way to work. For lunch, Penara Bread. ...
