Mediterranean Diet Redux
(22 Messages)
With all the claims about how the Mediterranean Diet cuts the risk of heart problems, I wondered how a diet high in carbohydrates could do that. So I tried to find a detailed write-up of the Lyon experiment that supposedly proved the diet's value. How was the experiment set up? What was the methodology. My google search turned up, among other things, the American Heart Assoc. discussion of the diet; and it's very instructive: . First, the experiment appears to have suffered from a fatal case of ...
smoking and working out
(25 Messages)
nope not at the same time.. :-)) Just wanted a few expert views on this subject. Tried giving up smoking but have been unsuccessful on many occaisions. I've just decided that Im not gonna try and give up any more and just accept that Im a smoker. I've started up at the gym and still smoke.

But being a paranoid chap that I am, Im worried if its actually harmi ...

Vesta: Diet - astrology.com The USDA's food pyramid shows how many servings you should eat each day from the various food groups, based on your size, gender, and activity level. Keep in mind that an official serving of a particular food is probably a smaller portion than you're used to. One half of a banana equals one serving of fruit, and one portion of fish or meat is only the size of a deck of cards.

Book urges dieters to skip cardio, lift weights instead Is it the couch potato's dream come true? Personal trainer to the stars Jim Karas' latest book, The Cardio-Free Diet (Simon & Schuster), promises you can unplug the treadmill and still lose weight. In fact, he says, cardiovascular exercise may actually hurt your efforts to drop a few pounds. Instead, Karas advocates a less time-consuming strength-training routine of simple lifts and presses with either free weights or rubber tubing.
Is he right? Here's an assessment of his thesis: Traditional cardiovascular exercise has been vastly oversold as a way to lose weight. Walking, running, spin classes "do not burn up nearly as many calories as we've been led to believe," says Karas. Moreover, he says, cardio makes you so hungry that you overeat. People definitely overestimate the caloric burn from working out and underestimate how much they eat, and that can mean weight gain, says JoAnn Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital and author of The 30-Minute Fitness ...
