I’ve never gotten into the habit of drinking Coke or other carbonated beverages (aka pop, soft drinks, etc.) the way some people do - as if they were water. I might have one a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. But I’ve always known there was nothing good about it. With a chocolate bar, you can [...]

Years ago, a wonderful new commodity was born. White bread. And the housewives thought it was so light and such a wonderful appealing colour that they flocked to the stores to buy it. And then Kraft developed a pasta dinner that only took minutes to prepare. And so on and so forth. It wasn’t until [...]

After watching “I Can Make You Thin” with Paul McKenna, I found myself thinking about words and their meanings, and I suddenly realized that we don’t actually have a word for “just right.”
“Fat” is never a positive word when used in North America to describe a human being. The word for “too fat” is “obese,” [...]

I’ve been thinking more about what Paul McKenna said last week about losing weight by taking control of your cravings through associating a very negative taste (rotten, with worms, etc.) with whatever it is you crave. (I wrote about that in my last blog.)
I was struck by a memory from long ago. It’s not about [...]

I started watching this program last week, kind of by accident.
Along with millions of other people, I hit a certain poundage at few years ago, and said, “this far and no further!” Since then, I’ve been trying to get to what I believe is a healthy weight. Not so much that i want to be [...]

1. Eat only what your body actually needs. Would you stuff sugar in your car’s gasoline tank? Give a bowl of it to your cat or dog? No? Then why put it inside your mouth? Sure it tastes good. Kind of. But it isn’t doing you a bit of good. We need to forget about [...]

What’s on my mind right now is getting my physical body in shape to do the things I still want to do. In other words, I want to be as fit and healthy as possible.
So - what to do?
I think I’ve read enough books and magazines on the subject to write my own book. [...]

I’m in the checkout line buying groceries. As usual, I glance at the magazine headlines for a casual check of what’s going on. But all I see are headlines screaming at me:
Get Thin in Three Weeks!
Firm up-fast with Hollywood’s Top Personal Trainer!
Organize Everything Better!
Now I have nothing against improving myself. [...]

Looking back, I realize that my symptoms had begun at least five years earlier. I was often tired. My bed time kept getting earlier. I had to drag myself out of bed in the morning. My skin, especially on my back, was itchy. I bought lotions and bath oils to use but they only eased [...]
