One of the ways I earn my money here at DTBMULF is to scour the internets looking for the most up to date diet and nutrition news from around the world and bring it here to you. As I’ve detailed, it’s it involves me typing stuff like, “I need a blog topic or Rebecca’s going to [...]
We all know it’s coming. The holiday season. It’s not really a holiday season, is it? It’s more like a two-month-office-sugar-bomb-free-for-all. Everybody bakes things, brings in candy and generally tries to flarg with your diet. I’ve read the other online tips for staying “good” through this dreaded two month stretch. “Pick healthy choices. Save yourself [...]
Pigs appear to have officially flown (swine flu/flew…get it…I slay me). One of my co-workers has come down with Swine Flu. I spent the morning “Lysol-ing” everything in sight. Let me just say this if there are any readers of the porcine persuasion out there. Babe, Wilbur, Gordy…cover your snout when you cough okay??? Somehow [...]
My 20th was this past weekend. This is what I have learned. Tip #1 = Wear Supportive Undergarments (Preferably the kind that hold you in, lift you up and actually give you a verbal affirmation.) Tip #2 – Wear a nametag with your senior picture copied onto it. No matter what, you look better now! [...]
Razofrakafuganoogit!!!! Scientists are now telling me that the only part of my body that will shrink by eating veggies is my brain. Did anyone else read this? Yeah…ok…trying to breathe here. Let me take if from the top. Apparently, scientists studied French people who ate lots of veggies. And there brains were smaller (um…the veggie-eaters, [...]
I lost the weight I wanted to lose this year. From June to the first week in September I have been good as gold and nary a carb has crossed my lips. But, when the kids started back to school, I started eating pizza, and tortilla chips, and honey buns and…well you get the gist. [...]
In the mid nineties, (the first time I tried low carb eating), I don’t recall there being very many options for sweets. You could have sugar free jello and some redi-whip. That was it. Now, you can’t throw a dead cat in a supermarket w/out hitting low-carb, low sugar protein bars (also management tends to [...]
As part of my continuing quest to find a miracle diet that lets me eat honeybuns, taffy, and cookie dough and still weigh 110 pounds, for healthy living and a balanced diet, I’m looking into the so-called Mediterranean Diet. I’m not sure I’ve completely figured out what I’m supposed to eat, but apparently lots of [...]
Something happened to me this weekend. An enlightening. An epiphany. The secret to the universe. Now, I know I’ve cried the epiphany wolf before, but this time people, this time is different. I discovered something amazing. Life altering. Something that puts pep in my step. Vim in my vigor. Holy Robert Pattinson people! I got [...]
It’s inevitable. Every year, sometimes twice a year I feel a swelling unease that consumes my thoughts to a point I can’t bear. Until it finally crescendoes into day long, frenzied closet/drawer purge. Gah! It happened this weekend. When it was over, I had six yard bags filled to the brim. They are stacked in my dining room [...]
