  • The study was conducted by the University of Southern California and published in the Journal of Cell Metabolism Fox News just reported it. Any peer reviewed study has established controls to remove any other correlating behavior from outcomes. That's the primary concern of any scientist attempting to establish a causal…

  • My husband and I raised three children eating whatever I prepared. Restaurant meals were an occasional treat, not an every other day event. I have always taken nutrition seriously (just like my mom) and there are few gifts more precious than our health and that of our families. Of course children have preferences, and I…
  • Nowhere in the article did the author claim that eliminating processed foods from one's diet is unhealthy. That would be stupid.
  • I only run outdoors. I moved just to be near the Greenline in Memphis! I love nature and the sun on my skin.
  • You might like the one I make with chick peas, flat leaf parsley, feta, and sliced grape tomatoes. I toast the chick peas with coriander and smoked paprika and just toss it all together. Quinoa is now one of my favorite foods!
  • Before my nest was empty, I would always get up around 5 am, have meditation and get my work-out on. I knew if I had to leave my house I wouldn't get it done so I carved out this special time for me and it worked. Now, I still get up early enough to do some stretching and planks to start my day.
  • It definitely gets easier...so much so that you will have to schedule rest and recovery into your workouts or risk injury!
  • I run in Memphis, TN in the summer in 95 degree weather and the humidity to match, I definitely take water. In fact, I've been out without and complete strangers have shoved bottles into my hands. That being said, I have two different belts, both Nathan's. Get to a runners store and try out several different…
  • I'm 5'6" and have been maintaining at 138 for about 4 months. MYP sets my goal at 1740, but I use a fitbit force and eat back most of my adjustment calories--usually 250-300 per day. I don't log on the weekends, but that's usually my most active time, so no worries. I haven't gained at all, but I have dropped as low as…
  • I'm 5'6" and 138 lbs. I wear a size 6.
  • Full fat yogurt has 9-10% fat and about 5 g of carbs. The Greek Gods variety tastes great, I even use it as a sour cream replacement.
  • Finally, a rational, reasonable response to comments taken entirely in context! I totally agree that this is all subjective and I completely understand that there are people who don't "eat clean" who experience the very same benefits--that's what makes them so passionate about what they believe! That's my point entirely,…
  • No, it's about life in general. I don't believe in preaching to people about what I believe, if it's that great it should be so obvious that people will come up to me and ask, "you seem to have a great marriage, your children seem to be so well-mannered, you have so much energy, you seem to really enjoy your career,…
  • Are you serious? I personally consider candy crap, so if I ate other foods throughout my day that I also consider crap I would feel like crap. I don't know or care what anyone else eats. This post is all about me, me, me!!! Here's the kicker--if I consider candy crap, and I admittedly eat candy, I am, obviously, not trying…
  • But again, I am clearly not perpetuating any "fallacy" nor am I trying to recruit anyone to my way of thinking. My motto is simple--you don't need to condemn a dirty glass, just set a clean glass beside it and let people chose for themselves. I was simply stating what cleaner eating has done FOR ME in hopes that someone…
  • OTE: I don't post much, but have stalked these boards for quite a while and the clean-eating bashing is a big turn-off for me personally. These are the reasons I choose to eat "cleaner": 1. I enjoy cooking 2. I want to know where as many elements of my food come from as possible 3. I want to maintain the energy to sustain…

  • A Snickers Bar has 27 g of sugar and 1 g of fiber. An apple has 18 g of sugar and 4 g of fiber. An apple has four times the fiber and two-thirds the sugar of a Snickers Bar, but that's not the problem. Multiply that by one Snicker's Bar a day and the subsequent spike and crash that many people experience and that's the…
  • The fiber consumed in conjunction with fruit sugars helps to mitigate the spike in blood sugar that often negatively impacts hunger and weight loss. Assuming, of course, one is actually eating the whole fruit and that it is a fruit that is higher in fiber.
  • Why pay a personal trainer to give advice, then come on a board to get advice from as many other people as possible? There are as many opinions on this topic as there are people who have found what works FOR THEM. I certainly have my own, but you know what they say about opinions, they're like axxholes, everybody has one!…
  • I'm pretty sure she's joking. It's called sarcasm.
