LizzieMaine also did a wartime diet a few years ago; there's a thread on it somewhere. I don't remember exactly what the diet was, but if it's low-calorie, pretty much everybody goes off of those sooner or later. Rationing wasn't necessarily done according to Hoyle. My father remembers... -
Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?
My company (where ties are most welcome) has a saying: when in doubt, don't. Those of us suggesting you avoid ties at work aren't anti-tie. We've just been around the job market longer and know that if the boss doesn't like you--and it can be over something as trivial as a tie--they'll find a...- Paisley

Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?
Yes--buy the company and wear a tie when you make your appearance handing out bonuses. Kidding aside, your superiors have made it pretty clear that your office is a tie-free zone. Your question contains its own answer.- Paisley

Re: building self-esteem vs. criticism, I think it's good to just be honest, but consider the level of the person's instruction. Telling people they're better than they really are sets them up for a wallop of reality sooner or later, and constant criticism is discouraging.- Paisley

I've had jobs that started at 6 a.m. and others that started at 3 p.m. In the Air Force, I sometimes had to get up a 2 a.m. for one thing or another. Not all of these schedules suited me, but it really did help to get to bed in time to get a certain amount of sleep. I'm completely in favor of...- Paisley

Around here, we seem less and less able to cope with a bit of snow. Not sure why it is that schools close or start late when everybody else in Denver manages to get to their (non-government) jobs. It just makes it inconvenient for parents. The kids aren't to blame. Have you looked into giving...- Paisley

This is exactly what I was talking about regarding reading critically and having some background knowledge. The word "crash" in the Independent headline isn't even in the article; the word "nutrient" appears only in a paragraph about the Zone diet. The headline doesn't change the definition of... -

A crash diet involves severe calorie and nutrient restriction--it's basically a short-term starvation diet, like those I noted in post 182. Atkins specifically says not to go hungry or count calories. The easiest way to avoid sugar cravings is to avoid sugar spikes in the first place, and the... -

QFT. Where studies are concerned, you need to look at them with a critical eye. How does a given study define low-fat, low-carb, portion control, etc.? How long did the study last? Were the subjects in a controlled setting, did they record their food, or were they just counseled on what to... -

World War II Starvation Diets of Today It was Ancel Keyes's starvation study in the 1940s. To quote from Eades's blog again, The men in this study consumed macronutrients in the following amounts daily: protein 100 gm, fat 30 gm, and carbohydrate 225 gm. If you express these intakes as... -

The low-carbers I'm familiar with tend to look at net carbs: total carb minus fiber, since fiber is indigestible by humans. Complex carbs are sugar molecules that are connected. It takes longer for them to break down, but they do turn into sugar in your gut. Fruits except avacadoes, olives... -

Every morning, I make a protein shake with rice protein powder and either nut butter or unsweetened coconut. The rice protein powder doesn't have any thickener in it, so I use xanthan gum. It's expensive by the bag, but it's all fiber and a little goes a very long way (1/2 teaspoon per shake)... -

Having a little extra weight isn't unhealthy. But if a person wants that 10-pound vanity weight loss, I can understand--as long as it's done without compromising good health. -

Dr. George Mann was a director of the Framingham Heart Program, a large, long-term study of diet and heart disease. Dr. Michael Eades has a copy of a report with some data that were never incorporated into the definitive report by the original investigators. Click here. (Here's the short... -

I've read the criticisms in the links. Respectfully, LW, I don't find them convincing mostly because they contradict my own experience and observations and that of some physicians I've come to respect. Science writers like Gary Taubes and Connie Leas have, to my mind, presented convincing... -
Finances in the Golden Era and today
My hundred-year-old house is in good shape. In 2003, it had three feet of snow on the roof and didn't even creak. The floors are pretty beat up, but I think that's to be expected.- Paisley

WWII Starvation Study For about two weeks after I started low-carb, I didn't have the energy to work out. But all the day to day stuff was easier. [huh] A few FLers have commented on calories. I'm not a calorie counter myself, but I'm reminded of a study that Ancel Keyes began in 1944 to...
