starbucks without tears

or Seattle’s Best, Blenz, Joe’s, Continental, or what have you. Cafes the world over have discovered the fabulous profit margin in blended beverages and tooth-shatteringly sweet, cream-topped, caramel-festooned monstrosities that any decent Italian would laugh out of the piazza. You should, too. This is a straightforward guide to ordering cafe drinks that are both pleasurable and better for you. […]

exercise vs diet: the mindset

April 30, 2007

8

If you scan the magazine racks these days, you’ll see the word DIET a lot more than you’ll see the word EXERCISE, and that’s not because we’re consonant-rationing. Our society is currently in a diet restriction mentality, rather than a physical challenge mentality, something a number of sociologists have tied to cultures experiencing simultaneous affluence and insecurity.

painless protein

April 26, 2007

We’re not huge Atkins fans ’round these parts, but we do know that protein is critical for good nutrition, having simultaneously swelled up and slowed down during our own ramen-based days (weeks, months, whatever). Now science is providing some pretty compelling reasons to think about subbing in some protein/carb foods for the carb-heavy foods you might be chowing […]

homework

Read the last post. Does this remind you of you? It’s critical to define the changes we want to make in our lives and in ourselves before embarking on the journey of change.

They have both hearts of romaine and mesclun (baby mixed greens), and both are organic. As well, loose spinach, which finally looks pretty good now that the new local crop is in, […]

the high voltage ten commandments

April 18, 2007

High Voltage (yes, that’s her legal name) is a New York celebrity personal trainer and professional energy conductor. She is 59 years old and she can probably kick Susan Powter‘s ass from here to Australia, and do it to a throbbing disco beat. She’s not everyone’s cup of chamomile, more of an acquired taste (let’s put it this […]

the canadian meal

You won’t find it on a menu anywhere, but McDonald’s Canada offers, at $3.50, a full meal for fewer than 600 calories. Gawd only knows where I learned about this, but a Canadian meal consists of a small drink, small fries, and a cheeseburger (you can swap it for a hamburger and save 50 calories, […]

unsafe at any speed: weight loss for nutters

April 13, 2007

Because haven’t we all read less plausible diet plans? At least these are good for a cheap laugh. Stolen from Rum and Monkey, read the rest on their site. The Web 2.0 diet: Tag your food. Only eat food you’ve tagged with “fatty” on special occasions. Round the corners on your sandwiches and try to sell them […]
