@psychiclunch aka Winkyboy! Nice to see you again and thanks for the encouragement. What I'm finding so far is that the hardest part of all this is setting my mind. Once that's in place, the rest of it seems to flow quite naturally!

Keep workin' it, Cheryl! Glad to see one more person taking the needed steps to be healthy :)

Followed you over there as Winkyboy!

@Richard, Thank you for your comment and I will certainly check out Dr. Schauss. I'm always willing to learn new things, even if that means new knowledge disproves the beliefs that I currently hold.

And, what I should have said is that Vemma is "quite possibly" the worlds most powerful liquid antioxidant in the world. If it isn't the most powerful, it is certainly among the very best. And, I have lab results to prove its effectiveness. I am a faithful user of Vemma and that is why I made those statements.

Always good to have another voice so we can all learn as much as possible! Hope you'll stop by again.

@psychic With all of our packaged convenience food in America, we've forgotten what solid nutrition even looks like. Time to get back to basics!

@Anonymous You are welcome. While those who are into nutrition know this information, I've been surprised at how many others don't have a clue. Thanks for stopping by!

Also good news for preganany - olives cure the salty cravings!! The appetizers sound amazing, but the BEST way to eat olives (green olives, that is) are on a mushroom & pineapple pizza!! YUM!

Very cool! Cheryl! loved it very touching!

It just goes to show that NUTRITION is the first and best answer to our health problems. Thanks, Cheryl!

2009-12-10T06:09:57.666-06:00

I'm a "thinker" and I think overthinking anything tends to make matters worse. At the very least you think it to death without making much progress in solving a problem.

Part of the problem is that we want instantaneous results. Lose Ten Pounds in a Week! The other part is that we want to blame weight gain on anything but the fact that we simply eat too much. Eating programs like French Women and No-S lead to slow and steady weight loss which tends to be more sustainable. But they also make you responsible.

Moderation in all things. The reason ideas like that hang around is because they're true!

2009-12-09T11:06:02.059-06:00

@wosnes I saw Michael Pollan several months ago at a local Barnes & Noble talking about his book w/ that sub-title! Really interesting guy. Great philosophy too.

Overthinking weight control only seems to make matters worse...whatta ya think, is it more just about common sense?

A friend of mine said "if you splurge one day, you simply can't splurge the next." That philosophy goes for more than food...works in nearly every area of life.

2009-12-09T10:55:14.983-06:00

@ Cheryl -- Oh, I agree. It's much easier to follow the rules of some arbitrary diet plan and eliminate certain food groups (which one?) than it is to take responsibility for what you put in your mouth. To make conscious choices about what you eat.

Recently I've come across a radical idea about why so many of us are overweight. Are you ready for this? The reason we're overweight is because we EAT TOO MUCH! The solution is to eat less.

It kind of reminds me of what Michael Pollan wrote: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

@Wosnes One of the main virtues that those going o...

2009-12-07T16:18:24.050-06:00

@Wosnes One of the main virtues that those going on a diet either don't want to acquire or have a hard time incorporating is self-control. Somehow it seems easier to decide to completely eliminate certain foods rather than change our relationship with all foods. But, really, its just a whole lot simpler (not easy) than we make it, isn't it?

@Christy I whole-heartedly agree! What do you think was the most diet-defying concept that Mirielle suggested?

2009-12-04T18:37:15.145-06:00

I have read the book and loved every bit of it. It certainly makes you want to be french! It is a very well written book that helps you to have a healthy attitude toward food - something we have lost in the US.

2009-11-27T08:11:46.051-06:00

Moderation and keeping it simple! easier said than done but... if you splurged yesterday, you can't splurge today. If I overthink it, I get it wrong.
like I said, easier said than done... but simplicity works.

@AMK I checked out your website, but didn't see a comparison done between your acai berry product and Vemma, altho there were other mangosteen products that were compared. Check out this link to see how Vemma stacks up against these other mangosteen based products and for clinical studies done by independent labs - http://bit.ly/78b0zr.

@Jenn, reminds me of the news clip I saw yesterday about a high school gymnast who was making herself sick practicing 6 hours a day...and how she became happier and rounded out her life when she started to do less!

Slowing down is hard, but I'd rather slow me down than have, say, my health slow me down!
