What & When - Part II

About Me View My Posts
OK, so now you "get it", in terms of basic food functions and proper timing, right? Now, I'll adress one of the questions from the first post: "I get the whole carb deal better now, but can I really digest a lot of protein while I'm sleeping? How about a steak about 2 hours before bed? I know it is not ideal, but is that better than eating pasta 2 hours before bed fat-wise?" What I want everyone to... 11/8/2007 11:59:57 AM

First, let me say a huge "THANK YOU" for the response to my previous post. I'm very honored and grateful to those of you who take the time to read (and hopefully APPLY) the information I'm going to be sharing with you. Working in the health/fitness industry for 18 years now, I realize by your responses that much of what I know and have learned through years of experience I take for granted. And, I... 11/8/2007 11:24:47 AM

How Do I Get Him to Deeper Levels of Communication?

I recently received a post in my "Ask The Singlescoach" section of my website and I wanted to share with you: Dear Singlescoach, I recently got back together with a man I dated for four months and broke up with because of a lack of emotional depth in our conversations. He contacted me later, we discussed the issue, and it was like a light bulb came on for him. After that, we took our communication... 11/8/2007 9:04:52 AM

All I ever needed to know about health, I learned from being pregnant.

About Me View My Posts
I've always taken decent care of myself but it wasn't until I became pregnant that I learned what it truly was to be healthy. All of my behaviors revolved around what was best to grow my baby. I chose foods that would fuel me, I drank more water and I stopped drinking caffeine and alcohol. I exercised but in moderation every day. Not too much, not too little. I meditated more and took time to breathe.... 11/8/2007 8:00:00 AM

It's always a wonder to me why we are astounded by the rates of obesity and eating disorders in children. We are all frightened by the new realization that for the first time in history our children will have a lesser life expectancy than their parents. Yet, what are we doing to change? Moms continue to diet and to fret about their weight on the scale and we continue to feed our children with restaurant... 11/8/2007 6:01:25 AM

Want strong bones? Look beyond calcium supplements

About Me View My Posts
It's exciting to see so many blogs on the importance of eating more (lots more!) fruits and vegetables. It has been a huge blind spot in my industry (fitness) for years and in other fields as well. As I educate about the difference between eating whole foods/adding a whole food supplements and the more familiar isolated vitamin supplements, the question that almost always comes up is: "What about calcium?"... 11/8/2007 5:14:09 AM

by Brian J. Johnston
About Me View My Posts
With sooo much information available today on what to eat (or not ), when to eat it (or not ), it's become increasingly difficult for many people to make a simple decision about personal meal planning. For simplicity, let's discuss basic food functions: Carbs = Energy Protein = Growth & Repair Simple carbs (fruit and candy) and complex carbs (vegetables and whole grains) are both broken down in the... 11/7/2007 7:32:12 PM

Embrace Change!

About Me View My Posts
Change Is The Very Essence Of Life! So often, in life, we find ourselves in the same old routine. We ask people the age-old question, "How are things going?". We get the age-old answer...same old thing...different day. It's sometimes hard to believe that we were completely opposite of this as children. As children, we lived our lives with constant change. As a matter of fact, each day, sometimes each... 11/7/2007 2:51:50 PM

In today's world, with industrial toxins, genetically engineered foods, reduced ozone and mineral depletion in our soils, cell phones, blackberries, new adjuncts to our ever-expanding technologically dominated world, there are myriad sources of distraction and as a result, increased stress. Our excessive multi-tasking, over-ingestion of caffeine, alcohol, fast foods, and sedentary lifestyles lead to... 11/7/2007 1:47:04 PM

My friend Matt Grace was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord degeneration and was basically told that he would never walk again. After he healed himself, Matt wrote a great book called "A Way Out." In his book, written in 2000, Matt says, "Food companies are responsible for millions of deaths per year and tens of millions of obese citizens; I really do not understand the difference between... 11/6/2007 11:49:07 PM
