The best part of nutrition education in schools would be that you would know how to choose regardless of calories by the time you graduate. Its the beauty of science based nutrition education ..... great post and discussion!

So true.

I believe that the chain restaurants should because they have standardized menus. Smaller cafes, mom/pop shops have the luxury of changing up the menu to reflect the season, locally grown etc and often can not afford the nutritional analysis. Although it would benefit me financially if it were the law for every food…

From my psych studies: 1) People's diets tend to mimic those who are closest to them. You really should try to convince your other half to be more like you not you like him since he seems to be the one with the bad habits. I am curious regarding the studies you point out; this can be a slippery slope: If you tend to hang…

No kidding re: Docs and nutrition training! Find a Dietitian and work with them .... be sure to find one that has experience with weight loss patients. Most do, but like docs there is a range of who you can find. Weight loss is complicated, it is not always "food in equals food out" .....

Hi--I'm 35 and was just prescribed Spironolactone; Ive done some online research and read Dr. Redmonds take on it too. PCOs blog reviews over half the women say their hair fell out quicker when on Spiro, and the other half had great results. Dr. Redmond says it is the drug of choice for PCOS hair loss, if indeed the…

I ♥ this post in so many ways! So true the upstairs/downstairs of Macys and the feeling of clothing shopping freedom where you have more than one choice to choose from. I always joke with friends that even the names of some of the stores, aside from the majority of the clothes offered, are unappealing and downright rude.…

I love it! Its a great healthy snack, or sandwich filler instead of meat or mayo. I usually make my own but I have favorites...depending on where you live, the best brands I've found to like are Trader Joe's own hummus and Fresh and Easy's brand hummus---both really great. Fresh and easy's roasted red pepper is excellent.…

Eating breakfast- especially a balanced one will help. If you skip or go light on breakfast (just coffee and toast for example) then your body is going to try to catch up the rest of the day to fulfill the nutrients missed after a mini fast (ideally 7-8 hrs of sleep). Are you getting enough sleep and managing stress?…

I eat dairy so yogurt and cheese is part of my diet. I was vegan for 7 years; just upped my beans, nuts when needed. I love tempeh, tofu and vegetables so I don't feel deprived of anything though I know it can be a struggle if you are used to eating dairy. The fake meats are too processed and high in salt--I grew tired of…

Muscle weighs more than fat, but takes up less space thus measurements other than the scale tend to be more accurate. Muscle also carries water, so if you are building muscle you've got the added padding of fibrous tissue AND water. All great things to have to protect your bone and cardiovascular health. Keep up the great…

I really like the Mayo Clinic's explanation. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/weight-loss-plateau/MY01152 A few scenarios and my humble opinion: -May actually be eating too little and your body is in "starvation" mode trying to hold on to what you're trying to lose for survival. "Confuse" your body and increase your…

The spouse and I walk four dogs at about the 4.0 mile pace 6 nights a week. We're averaging 3 miles/night. It feels awesome after a long day of work. The next couple of weeks I want to take 2 nights a week for resistance training.:flowerforyou:
