You mentioned type 1 diabetes? As sugar consumption and insulin signalling directly regulate fat synthesis and fat burning, I would suggest talking to your endocrinologist about losing weight. He/She may have some helpful ideas. It is possible that timing of your simple carbohydrate meals and insulin shots may hinder your…

A friend of mine gave me a sexy look and jokingly said "Do you want to extract some protein from my column?" last week. He is full of inappropriate lab jokes.

haha, all of packaged twinkles/zingers/etc treats in general.

I have never even tried any of the aforementioned treats.

Your title reminded me of Margaret Cho's stand up scene about asian chicken salad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnnvRjwSCPo That is all.

I wear boots pretty much everyday... because its so chilly! I mostly wear riding boot style, but have a couple pairs of heeled ones.

Pretty sure that car is the only inanimate object I have ever had a sexual fantasy about :laugh: .

Besides my car. It would have to be my macbook and my mountain bike. Two of the best purchases I have ever made.

On the natural health side of things 2-3 well formed bowel movements (non- diarrhea) per day is considered optimal. I have also heard atleast once per day from my doctor. The following information was taken from Brenda Watson's website (I found it helpful): "Conventional medicine defines constipation strictly in relation…

"I am impartial to all creatures, and no one is hateful or dear to me; but men devoted to me are in me, and I am within them."

Feeling my hip bones is a relatively new sensation. It freaks me out about 2 times a week when I wake up. As I peacefully wake up, I do a little stretch and run my hands down my hips.... then I am like "WHAT IS THAT!?!?!" Oh wait...

You seem to have gotten some good replies. So all I have to say is that its neat that you have had your genome sequenced. That is all. :) haha.

I know a nice, but unique family who gave there children the names Mercy Danger (so that she could say "danger is my middle name"), and Asher Thrasher.

Best/unique icecream: lavender gelato... so good! Made at the Kingfisher resort from their own lavender.

Do you have access to a kitchen, or have a fridge in your room? If so, I do up snack bags, and throw a bunch in my bag. I will make enough for the week on sunday, and then store them in the fridge. Options: - Raw veggies (carrots, broccoli, peas, cucumber) -Cheese and crackers - Sliced apple in lemon juice -dried fruit and…

WD40, that's a good one.

The sweet sultry smell of silage and manure :) Haha.

I am feeling lazy and by the time I get home I know I will be extra tired, so I am going to grab a homemade (premade last weekend, extra lean beef/lamb) burger out of the freezer and enjoy a burger with some homegrown corn and steamed spinach or mashed cauliflower.

Yum!

Blood pudding... blech! Head Cheese. Mushrooms. Over-cooked egg yolks. Balut.

A high protein/complex carb snack before bed seems to help most people. If you happen to supplement with protein powder you could switch to a slower digesting protein mix, like Hexapro or something similar.

My favourite renditions are Rufus Wainwright (live) and K.D. Lang at the Vancouver 2010 olympics.

This is my favourite song. I sing it in the shower everyday (for years, I've actually gotten pretty good, haha). Leonard Cohen is an amazing song writer, he actually once mentioned it took him two years to write this, and he went through 80 verses. I think it is about the many facets of love, or many types of "hallelujah".…

I have had 13 roommates over the years, and also lived on campus while sharing a kitchen with 33 people. This is only the tip of the iceberg. -shared a dorm with a girl that would blow dry her hair 4 feet away from me at 4 am. B1tch, please! -one girl would make a mess while trimming her pubic hair, and then refuse to…

I suffered with migraines/headaches for years. I have found that proper hydration and magnesium supplementation (250 mg+/day) have been key. 85% of North American women are deficient in magnesium, and it is essential for muscle relaxation. I used to get headaches 3+ times a weak, and they would often progress into…

Drink lots of warm water and take two TBSP of flax oil directly off the spoon. Also, try elevating your feet while sitting on the toilet (like on a book or a box). That should sort you out. If not take about 450 mg of magnesium to hydrate your bowels. Good luck!

You are responsible for your own health and well being (I have to tell myself this constantly). I have poor self control and also live 200 meters from a Dairy Queen, a steak house, and a pizza joint. I recognize this weakness in myself so I do my best to prevent myself from binging... ensuring I eat adequately throughout…

Firefly... so good! And stargate SG1.

The Organic Traditions ones are really nice. You can also get them in a sprouted then milled variety. Purica brand also has organic chia, but they tend to be a little more pricey.
