Nutrition and exercise!
That's funny! My dog has done that once or twice, too. She tries to go really fast if she sees a cat outside the window. -
Nutrition and exercise!
The best piece of exercise equipment is one you'll use. ;) My dog loves the treadmill, and she's always thrilled to get on it and run. I have a basic pair of sueded tennis shoes I dance in. For strength training, you can use free weights or a resistance workout like Ballet Conditioning... -
Nutrition and exercise!
Viola, I don't know if sprouted wheat (e.g., Ezekial bread) still counts as wheat. When I tried Ezekial bread, it made me bloat as much as regular bread, so I'm inclined to think it counts as wheat. Gluten intolerance (celiac disease, where gluten damages your intestines) is separate from wheat... -
I have a theory..and questions.
Maybe they use the plywood to build dog houses and sheds. [huh]- Paisley

Nutrition and exercise!
I was recently diagnosed with anemia (mild). I was somewhat cold, but not tired or shaky. I agree, though, that the red meat and green vegetables are good things. I started taking iron pills a few days ago and I've suddenly gotten tan (the real red kind, not the fake orange spray-on kind... -
Nutrition and exercise!
I wholeheartedly agree. We don't necessarily get all the nutrients we need from food. -
Nutrition and exercise!
Viola, I think you might find this interesting. It's from a blog written by a cardiologist; here are some highlights: A Heart Scan Blog reader sent this fascinating description of his wheat-free adventure. Whenever I discuss this notion of going wheat-free and the incredible health... -
Nutrition and exercise!
Viola, I've read your post carefully, but keep in mind that I'm not an expert on nutrition or exercise. These are just suggestions based on my own experience. You say that you're tired, need a lot of caffeine, and get sugar cravings. Maybe some more sleep would help. Lack of sleep can ramp up... -
Highbrow---to---Lowbrow.
Vines--an interesting question. Suggested answers: High-brow: espaliered exotic tree High-middle-brow: bougainvillea, brought in for the winter Low-middle-brow: climbing hybrid tea rose that won't last the winter Low-brow: bone hardy climbing rose that was dug up and thrown out by...- Paisley

Dance Classes-What to wear, what to bring?
I started out with dance shoes like that, and the heel height was fine. However, I had to switch to something with more padding.- Paisley

Nutrition and exercise!
I think those energy drinks are mostly water, sugar and caffeine. I guess that's OK in a pinch if you really need to stay awake, but it's probably not a good staple. What are you eating/doing now? (By all means, reference a post if you've already described it here.) -
Nutrition and exercise!
I ate wheat products in moderation (except on my free day), I did six hard workouts a week, and I put on 20 pounds. It was frustrating! Some people can eat wheat in moderation and not put on weight; I'm not one of them. -
Highbrow---to---Lowbrow.
Highbrow reading: "Criticism of criticism." lol Reminds me of Frasier. However, Frasier's father was a lot more fun.- Paisley

Nutrition and exercise!
Low-carb is probably close to what our ancestors ate back when they were running around on the savannah. According to paleoanthropologists I've read, they were quite healthy, and died mostly from trauma and infection. They say that humans started becoming overweight with the beginning of farming... -

Nutrition and exercise!
There has been research suggesting that fat--even saturated fat--doesn't contribute to heart disease. Some doctors believe that the carbohydrates that people substituted for fat have been disastrous. (As far as I know, the trans-fats are still bad for you.) When I started Body for Life, I... -
Nutrition and exercise!
Craving Junk Food? Overeating? A Possible Solution I just wanted to add that my hunger has ratcheted down considerably since I stopped eating wheat. I'm not interested in the junk food I was snacking on before, and a little food makes me feel full. On a somewhat related note, I've been... -
Nutrition and exercise!
If I were to go out for three hours of lindy hopping, I really wouldn't do anything different from my normal routine since I don't like to dance on a full stomach. But you can bet that I'd have a little meal when I got home! I wasn't eating much pasta. Mostly, as far as wheat, I was eating... -

Hat advice at the expense of the Fedora Lounge
IMHO, the look in the photo is a bit cheesy because of the bare chest and big jewelry. I still don't see what a hat has to do with being a jerk etc.- Paisley
