Sometimes, you get lucky when eating out
Posted on March 1, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare I messed up my lunch planning yesterday and finally ran out of freezer finds. This meant venturing forth into the company cafeteria in search of something satisfying, always a bit treacherous like any eating out. When in this situation, I usually get sushi. The rice is white, but at least it’s tasty and it [...]

What is wrong with this idea?
Posted on July 27, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthyShare Take a look at this old ad. (I saw this on another blog, but on a completely different subject.) What’s wrong with this idea? Isn’t it interesting how logical it sounds when you leave out a number of facts about sugar, hunger, satiety, and the human brain? If you look around enough, you’re bound [...]

Vega Vibrancy Bars
Posted on July 13, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, My fitness journeyShare Because my husband and I are looking for ways to gradually decrease our animal protein intake (while maintaining total protein intake as much as possible), we are experimenting with our food.

Very Important Task: Plan a whole week’s worth of meals
Posted on January 16, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, My fitness journeyShare I had lunch with a friend yesterday who wanted to know more about how I went from a size 14 to a size 4.

Stop depriving yourself – start enjoying food!
Posted on September 6, 2010 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Online resources, Research paper reviewsShare So everyone knows that to lose fat, you need to burn more calories than you consume. The extension of that idea seems to have resulted in a lot of people semi-starving themselves, or at the very least being very unhappy with their diets. Ingvar and Eldh have some very important things to say about [...]

Don’t blame the fat!
Posted on September 1, 2010 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Online resources, Research paper reviewsShare Fat doesn’t make you any fatter than calories from anything else. Yep, forget about the low-fat stuff. All wrong. People jumped to conclusions without, you know, checking the details first: Current data suggests that a moderate amount of fat is appropriate. Calorie counting and trying to hit particular macronutrient ratios for P90X has made [...]

Appetite for more instead of satiety
Posted on September 1, 2010 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Online resources, Research paper reviewsShare Some foods make you want to eat more rather than fill you up. You can probably insert what The End of Overeating by David Kessler has to say here. Kessler calls them hyperpalatable foods, Ingvar and Eldh call foods full of short carbohydrates hyperfoods. Similar ideas, although not quite the same. Obviously, knowing what these [...]

Brain Control of Your Weight
Posted on August 27, 2010 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Online resources, Research paper reviewsShare For my birthday, my mother sent me a book called Brain control of your weight by Martin Ingvar and Gunilla Eldh. Well, at least that what it’s called when you translate the title. I’d tell everyone I know who would like to get rid of body fat to go read this book, but there’s a problem. [...]

Breakfast observations
Posted on July 8, 2010 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthyShare For me, a good breakfast seems to contain a lot of fiber, a fair bit of carbs, and ideally some protein. I could rationalize this with citing various studies that show the benefits of fiber, the study I saw that suggests you eat carbs for breakfast if you exercise in the afternoon like I [...]
