I love to run my fingers through curly chest hair. Some back hair is OK with me too.

I read one book that covered this (I think it was called Eating for Optimum Health by Dr. Weil) . Also on the "bad" list are partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are a kind of polyunsaturated fat. They tend to lower both bad and good cholesterol levels, but you generally want the good (HDL) cholesterol to be as…

I am just finishing a free 2-week trial. I called so they didn't automatically renew and charge me $4 a month. There is a food diary and exercise log. You get a daily meal and exercise plan, and motivational emails daily. I could not use the daily meal plan laid out because I have certain dietary restrictions related to…

^ BTW, using the measures in the article, I am at the lower end of overweight using BMI, but at the upper end of overweight using body fat %. So it makes a difference, and I am going to rely less on BMI to set health goals.

I just did a search on this for a calculator or something, and found an informative article that reviewed BMI (not as accurate as the others), waist to hip ratio, and body fat %. It said body fat was most accurate but not as easy to measure at home, and waist to hip was the next best. It gave various healthy and unhealthy…

Basic things like driving, etc. are already accounted for in the activity level you select, even if you selected sedentary. So you don't need to enter those. Just enter anything over and above the activity level you selected.

I think by tracking over time you will see what the better choices are for your nutrient goals at the restaurants you do visit. That's what…

I just viewed a slideshow this morning with a list of "diet" foods that aren't really very healthy: http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/eat-better-live-healthier/everyday-nutrition/50-seemingly-healthy-foods-that-are-bad-

Usually when I walk on the treadmill, I am the only one, and everyone else is running. I don't even glance at them to see if they are looking. At first I wondered if they thought I was weird, but really I think they are too busy with their own workout to pay attention to what I am doing. Just do your own thing and be…

I like to do what bjohs (above) does. I might weigh every day after waking up, but I only record once a week. My eating and exercise calories go up and down during the week, so I think tracking once a week gives a better picture of what I am doing overall.

Well, I count just about any drink as water (my morning coffee, diet soda, juice - fresh brewed tea is much more like water than those), and also log it under meals or snacks to track the nutritional information.
