Article in Muscle and Fitness Hers
I just read an article in Muscle and Fitness Hers, outlining a four week plan for food and exercise. Nicely laid out, and I liked the fact that the food was very specific and not a lot of exotic ingredients. However, I'm a little confused by some of the "snacks" that are built into the plan. One of them is listed as Late…

Correct nutritional information in recipes
I am so frustrated with recipes that I find online for healthy foods. So many times I get all excited about trying a new recipe, I go out and buy new ingredients that I may or may not like to try something different, and then when I get everything home and get the recipe made, I plug in the ingredients only to find that…

Dr. Praeger's broccoli pancakes
My new favorite way to get some tasty vegetables. Dr. Praeger's broccoli pancakes, which I bought at Whole Foods. Now I wish that I had bought some of his other pancakes like spinach, and sweet potato, but I wanted to taste test first. Yummy! Broiled for 8 minutes on a side in the oven, they are 80 calories with 3.5 g fat…

Replacing my South Beach Protein Fit bars
I LOVE South Beach Protein Fit bars and have them daily, but they have been pulled from the shelves of all my local stores, and I need a replacement. I've tried a lot of commercial bars, but either they don't fit into my 10/20/30 fat, protein, carb plan, or I find them merely palatable and not something I'd look forward…

Help with a research project, please
I was asked to do what seemed like a simple internet research project: Find out the source for the oft quoted "95% of people gain back the weight they lose". I have sourced this quote back to an original study in 1958 by Albert Stunkard, M.D., Philadelphia, and Mavis McLaren-Hume, M.S., New York. This poorly designed study…

My new heart rate monitor makes me sad.........a little.
So, after reading about all the great benefits of a heart rate monitor, I bought one yesterday and used it during my 55 minute trainer workout this morning. We did pretty much non-stop plyometrics, hanging dead lifts with 25# weights, squats with a 17.5# weight, lat pullovers, balancing on an upturned BOSU ball while…

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? I bought a New Balance N4 heart rate monitor today designed for women.

Then I was working on the laptop and I noticed that my…

NuMetrix sports bra with heart rate monitor?
Has anyone tried one of these? I have been unable to use the chest strap with my treadmill because it won't register my heart rate despite multiple adjustments, the addition of moisture, changing positions, etc, and the watches that I have tried at the stores don't accurately read my pulse rate either. I would really like…

Concerned about the nutritional information
Has anyone else been surprised by the nutritional information in the food diary? I entered my breakfast as a test, and was shocked to see that egg whites came in at 30 calories each and 7 grams of protein. I checked 5 different online sources to verify that it should be approximately 16 calories and 3 grams of protein for…
