To get to the answer to the question straight away: it might. This was brought up in a study reported on Msnbc.com, part of which states: …new research has determined that a judgmental attitude may just go hand in hand with exposure to organic foods. In fact, a new study published this week in the [...]

I’m going to start this post discussing Sigmund Freud – but it’s not what you think – really. This post is not about psychology. Sigmund Freud was a cokehead in a time when it wasn’t a big deal. The notion of doing drugs at the time was not a counterculture phenomenon – it was something [...]

Note: This is week 11 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. I have kept true to my title for these posts. The past chronicles are here, if this sort of stuff holds any interest for you. The above chart is pretty much the entire month of April as per [...]

Note: This is week 9 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. It seems to be about everything but. The past chronicles are here, if this sort of stuff holds any interest for you. I’m starting my week where at a weight close to what I gravitate around: 206. I’d [...]

Note: This is week 8 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. The title was meant to be ironic, but it seems less so at the moment. If you are interested in the previous weeks’ mistakes and mishaps, they’re all here. I’m at a bit of an impasse at this point, [...]

NOTE: This is a continuation of a 12-week experiment of sorts to break a stall and lose 20-pounds. It hasn’t been working. This week I learned something interesting about calories, however – for me, they don’t appear to matter that much. You can find the previous week’s posts here, if you’re interested. Sunday, March 25, 2012 [...]

Reflecting back at the previous week, I made some decent progress. I shed 8 lbs., which isn’t shabby, though I’m not too impressed as most of the weight was most likely water retention from a blowout the prior week. A major event was getting my ass to the gym every day last week and the [...]

The other day, before the start of yet another meeting at work, someone brought up Dr. Oz. One person said: “I always used to think that drinking skim milk was good for you, but Dr. Oz said you should drink 2%.” It was said as a revelation, a shock. I couldn’t help myself: “You know, [...]

I use a program called WeightBot on my iPhone to track my weight. Being lazy and/or stupid, I didn’t know that I could produce these nifty yearly charts – it always showed the data month-by-month. They make a nice comparison between 2010 and 2011 – don’t they? Obviously, 2011 isn’t over yet, and Weightbot [...]
