Whoa. Weird stuff. i wonder what the point is? It seems like a good gift for competitive teenage girls.

I agree with you on this. I am actually in my 6th year of college. The reason being, I have been ADD/ADHD SEVERELY since I was a kid, but Adderall wasn't really available then. I couldn't even sit through a lecture without just getting up and walking out! Since on Adderall, my grades have went from D's to A's, everyone who knows me knows how well it works for me and can actually tell when I havn't taken it, for the mere fact I can't carry on a conversation or anything! This pill has seriously helped me out tremendously, esp. with school. I am graduating this year, which probably never would have happened without Adderall. Ps. I only take 15 a day, it's one pill and I break it in half and take 7.5 around 8am and 7.5 around 1pm. I don't take it on Sundays and sometimes I will skip Saturday. I don't "feel it" anymore like I did the first week I took it, but I know it still works because I still focus, just after a little while you don't have that feeling anymore, but it is still working.

Um, what?

Do they take into consideration variance in diets based on the region of the country they're looking at? Because I know that if they surveyed the diets of most of my fellow Wisconsinites, they'd think the whole country eats brats, braunschweiger, and Miller Lite all the time. Likewise, if they surveyed California, they'd assume that everyone eats sushi and drinks Cabernet.

Since I'm not a huge fish-eater, I take fish oil pills for the omega-3s. I also take a calcium/vitamin D supplement...if you are very athletic, it's important to get enough calcium: it's not JUST for your bones, your muscles need it to function as well.

I like the idea of simply using small plates, but if you're having a hardcore craving for some pizza, I'd guess you'd probably stack your food really high or fill the plate up more than once. Kinda defeats the whole purpose.

There is a problem with doing studies like this. Yes the criteria are fairly meaningless and the data is questionable; but they have to use some criteria to judge these things. There will never be a time when everyone agrees on what is healthy and what qualifies as unhealthy, and sociologists need data to click there tongs over anyway.
This study has put food on the table for a lot of researchers and there families.

Hows that for a bright side?

I think we have another use for hammer time :-)

"..." I don't think I'm required to say anything here.

Hello. I have just checked out The No Sugar, No Flour Book from the library. I was wondering if there were any other recipes that are good to stick to this diet? I am not actually on the program, but I plan to start very soon. It just does not seem like there is alot of recipes that suit my taste. Please let me know if there are any suggestions. Thank you.

I've tried a whole host of supplements and pills. I found Kefir is a good supplement. When i started taking it i found it did curb my appetite a little. read my blog for reviews on other diets/ supplements.

Are you on the fence about probiotics in general or probiotics as supplements? I personally think all supplements are hype. I don't take any and never have. I eat a balanced diet and have my blood levels checked regularly...forty one and so far so good. To get a dose of probiotics, which keeps necessary bacteria in balance and assists in metabolic function, I eat real (organic, lowfat) yogurt daily and often drink Kambucha.

Miracle? Or Delivery Boy eff-up?

I agree with your assumption that not following these specific guidelines makes your eating habits unhealthy. Having said that, I still think that we could all try to improve our eating habits as a whole and not just the British.

I am doing the 6 week challenge now, and I love the breads and carbs, but in the first week, I lost 7.5 lbs and 1.2% fat. I was happy. I started Curves in March and the first month lost 8 lbs, so yes it works. I even have my hubby on the diet. He cheats on it more, but whatever. I have so far lost over 20 lbs and the Curves now has the Curves Smart,WOW, what a difference that makes, I actually can not talk during work outs and I am burning at least 600 calories a work out. Try it. It does work

I doubt it's very accurate. However, if it's true and they are all eating like the people on the "You Are What You Eat" BBC show, then they're screwed.

When you buy a vitamin D supplement, make sure it's D-3 (cholecalciferol), not D-2 (ergocalciferol). The former is more potent, shelf stable, and bioavailable than the latter.

Makes sense to me. I always knew there was something a bit off with the Brits and their teeth! Poor diet = poor teeth!

No offense, I love the British but it's just an observation.

I think so many of these studies base "Healthy" on something of the past. So much of our food is processed and/or prepackaged - thus the added sodium and all kinds of ingredients that are not food.

And, I agree with Ben when he says "When 99.2% of the people are considered bad, it means the standard for good and bad is wrong and the people who are promoting that standard are not to be taken seriously."

I own the iGallop and purchased it at Brookstone for $199. It's great and if used regularly, it definitely tones the abs and provides a great workout with the DVD. We bought the iGallop and the uSurf at the same time, and they're both tons of fun. The uSurf (also $199) is a great leg and thigh workout and tones the abs as well. I don't regret either purchase!!

I would have to agree with Linz too about skinny girls with hourglass figures! I'm 5'1 and a half, weight anywhere from 105-110, and my meausrements are 33.5-25.5-35.5. I think it all has to do with genetics, I eat a lot too but still I am able to maintain my body shape. I have broad shoulders that balance out with my hips just as Linz mentioned so there is such a thing as curvy skinny gals!

Actually, not quite an hourglass. More like an inverted triangle.

Actually, you are considered an "hourglass" figure. There is only a 1 inch difference between your bust and hips!

I think you are more of a "pear" shape than that of an hourglass.

I do believe that you pursue an hourglass figure! Why do you say you're cursed? Gosh, women envy YOU because of your sexy and curvy shape!

I love tomatoes. Thanks for the great info.

LOL That is hilarious! "This isn't criminal!" "We're not sending deputes down there over a cheeseburger!"

This means the term "healthy diet" is a ridiculous phrase when these people use it and they should never be listened to on anything they say ever again.

When 99.2% of the people are considered bad, it means the standard for good and bad is wrong and the people who are promoting that standard are not to be taken seriously.

Yeah, you know what makes people respect you even more than your height of weight? Your ability to speak English. Or at least express yourself in a quasi intelligent manner. You should spend the next 10 weeks on the phonics diet, and drop the carbohydrate count for now. Maybe then you'll coherently explain your venture through weight loss (which we're dying to hear about, of course)
