Late nights making you fat http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-20/diet/29794413_1_sleep-deprivation-leptin-growth-hormone Wishing you a good night's sleep!

It pops up every so often from concerned individuals that if you work out regularly or you don't consume enough calories, your body may burn muscle before fat during your fasting sleep. Given my eating enough and lack of exercise that intense, I don't lose any such sleep over losing muscle. I eat until dinner and go to bed…

When you get used to real food on most days and as your taste sensibility improves, bad food on cheat days increasingly disappoints. You are left with the question of what mentally triggers your instant gratification, and in time you may hit that special place of cheating no longer being worth it. It's not easy given…

Not to worry! A complete protein can be created by combining foods from two or more incomplete proteins.

I recently came across this one: http://www.dailygarnish.com/2010/09/5-warning-signs-you-arent-getting-enough-protein-a-guest-post-from-no-meat-athlete.html

Yes, if you take in too much protein, you may gain weight. Three Problems Associated With Too Much Protein Intake http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/three-problems-associated-much-protein-intake-6546.html

Modern day's silly obsession with protein borders on the psychotic, lol. Protein is necessary, but does any normal body actually need more grams of protein per day than say 0.4 of your body weight? My daily protein has always been 50 +/- 15 grams per day, I have been at or near my goal weight since age 20, I never catch…

Not at all. I start paying attention around the 1500 mark. Take a can of low sodium beans at Whole Foods. About 35 mg for this whole can packed with nutrition. And after a few cans, you won't even miss the taste of salt. Good thing too because your water retention will be improved.

I may or may not have breakfast. If I do, it's either a regular meal or spread out over several hours. I don't care one way or the other. I may or may not have lunch. If I do, it's either a regular meal or spread out over several hours. I don't care one way or the other. But if one is spread out, there's usually none of…

While the other day browsing Diabetes Meal Planning Made Easy by Hope S. Warshaw R.D., I was reminded that medication for diabetes that lowers the blood glucose no longer does so to the extent that people need to eat frequently.

I can go for exactly that, but as the upper end of the range! "A suggested maximum protein intake ... would be ... 176 g protein per day for an 80 kg (176 lb) individual". http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/989730-protein-cannot-get-stored-as-fat?page=3#posts-15148580

Something to consider is that a movie theater shares its income from ticket purchases with the movie distributor, while it keeps all of the income from its consession stand items. If you bypass the latter by sneaking in all of your goodies, the theater may well have to close some day due to lack of revenue.

How about a regular meal pattern's effects on one's metabolism? http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/81/1/16.long

Got it!

Regal Entertainment Group, the largest movie theater chain in the country, also provides the largest disaster in move theater popcorn. It pops in coconut oil, which is 90 percent saturated. I encourage you to move your cardiologist's phone number to your speed dial before the lights go down. AMC, the nation's…

And if you weigh 100 pounds, it might also be a good maximum? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/989730-protein-cannot-get-stored-as-fat?page=3

Interesting stuff. Thank you. Thinking in simple terms (it's getting late, and the day is almost over), I suppose the "2 to 2.5 g" could break even with 1 kg = 2.2 pounds, which would mean the maximum number of grams of protein per day equals your weight in pounds!

600 / 4 = 150. So going beyond 150 grams is no good and perhaps even bad?

Sure, if you're an athlete or bodybuilder, lol. Adults require 20-35 grams of protein daily per W. Rose: The amino acid requirements of adult man Nutritional Abstracts and Reviews 1957; 27:631 Today's American diet is 100-120 grams, mostly from animal products. Vegetarians have been found to consume 60-80 grams per M.…

I don't know if it's sound advice to do something just because you can. It doesn't help of course that willpower tends to drop at the end of the day. There is precisely no need to snack. If you do it, it's for other reasons. If you snack at night and you say it's because you want to, then why do you want to? There is no…

What late night snacking? Why?

It doesn't help that thirty some years ago we the people allowed our head of the national household to let the food industry forget about real food. It has gone downhill ever since. One in three is now obese. By 2050 one in three will be full blown diabetic.

There's a saying that goes something like those who are well are alike and those who aren't are all unlike anyone else. So given this, what does it mean when you say that everyone is different, that it's a personal preference and do what works for you? And being satisfied or full, is that physical or mental? There's no…

As luck has it, I happen to sit in bookstore cafe glancing in Sherri Shepherd's book entitled Plan D, and sure enough the cover picture clearly shows her inverted triangle body, once you're aware of it that is. I sense there's more to her than meets the eye, and I do like the reading of her book, whose subtitle is How to…

Haha, you big muscular men can't handle a tiny mouse? Come now, Acg67 and SideSteel. Do your part first.

I concur. There is simply no redeeming value of any kind in complying with the master cleanse for the recommended duration. When that is said, I'm now giving it a try for maybe two days as an experiment. Stopped by Trader Joe's for the organic grade B maple syrup and a bag of lemons, organic too. Had the cayenne pepper and…

Still, how many overweight one hundred year olds do you know?

That would be in 30s for me as far as I can tell. My average is usually in the 30-40s. Hope to read the article some day.

There's a great chapter entitled The New Science of Aging in Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy - Until You're 80 and Beyond by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge. "In a paradox that you absolutely have to understand, endless calories and lack of exercise signal your body that you're heading into a famine that you…

Great suggestions. Too many meat and potato people have no idea of the goodness of tasty stuff such as tilapia, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds. Much better on micronutrients too. I use this formula to calculate protein goals. Weight in pounds / 2.2 x 0.8 for sedentary individuals Weight in pounds / 2.2 x 1.8 for…
