Unless you’re living under kryptonite or stuck in some rift in the space-time continuum, you’ll have heard of James Cameron’s Avatar. For benefit of those rift dwellers, the basic gist is this. Scientists invent a way to grow a human/alien hybrid “shell” body and link it up to your brain waves. In other words, you [...]

I’m zombified. Christmased out. Cooked. I ate, I drank, I was mildly merry. The up shot? I liked my Xmas outfit.  Black sweater dress with silver glittery tights and sweater boots. It worked out much better than LAST year when I shopped  high and low for a skirt and sweater which I (idiotically) wore tucked [...]

 The celebrity diet highlight of 2009 had to be early in the year when Valerie Bertinelli graced the March 25th issue of People Magazine wearing a bikini.  She says she owes it all to working out and Jenny Craig.  How Valerie helps us lose: She’s 48. It’s a bikini. Plus it also shows how a 30 or 40 [...]

Amidst scouring the internet/mall/closest Toys for Tots bin for the best holiday sales, we all have a decision to make. What are we going to wear for Christmas/hanukkah/Kwanza/New Year’s Eve/53 Days ‘Til President’s Day?

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 [...]

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.
