I really like that line:

I'll have to steal it :)

Hi Karen, flax oil is great substitute. Just ask the sales rep at the store which one they recommend. Make sure you store all your oils in the fridge so it does not get rancid. Also, flax oil is not meant for cooking but you can put it in smoothies or take it by itself.

The one I use is also Vegan and the brand is Arbonne but you can only order this online here: https://www.arbonne.com/shop_o....

Would love to see Omega 3 suggestions if there are any that don't involve fish or fish oil for those of us allergic to fish.

LSD is a wonderful tool. Like any tool it needs to be used with proper instruction. I was on it when I saw this movie actually. LSD a MAGNIFYING GLASS. - what do you have to look at or think about?

I think you missed the point of the study you linked to. I am basically saying the same thing about the Harris-Benedict formula as what the study found. They are saying both formulas have clinical significance at the individual level. This means they both have their importance when it comes to calculating ouwr energy needs.

Here is a scientific comparison of the Harris-Benedict v/ Mifflen-St. Jour http://www.indianjmedsci.org/a... I hope the link works for you. But in summary the Harris-Benedict is much more accurate.

Thanks for this article. I have been diagnosed with every knee problem (patella femur degeneration, OA, meniscus tears, loose ligaments, etc) and am desperate to avoid the total knee replacement I've been told that I need. Because of the limitations I've accepted in order to avoid surgery, I can no longer run or jump as part of exercising - which makes it hard to lose the weight that makes things worse for my knees! As a former runner and collegiate track athlete, I find it difficult to reach a level of intensity that is comparable to running - and, oh, how I hate swimming which is always the standard response. Hadn't considered a rowing machine, but I'm now on the market for one! :)

You'll need to find shoes with minimal cushion. There are lots of brands out there such as Vibram, Nike, and Adidas who makes shoes like these. It's almost like you're barefoot.

if we don;t wear running shoes what shoes are we supposed to wear?

Hi Cara, we can all benefit from a coach/trainer but you can also try doing it on your own. I'd recommend checking out Venus Index. I talk about it here: http://www.pathtofatloss.com/2.... They have a great online community which can support and motivate you in reaching your fitness goals. It's also an awesome exercise program for women. Best of luck!

Great article. I am always trying to figure out how to get the best workout for my body. Now that I have had 2 children it seems harder to get back to that strong body I once had. I really feel I could benefit from a trainer at this point

Re: How to Look Fit and Still Look Feminine

annadornier — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:52:03 -0000

Hi Catherine, he did say not to train to failure but it does not mean not to lift heavy. With the lower reps described in the program, you can go a lot heavier. If you are not feeling like you are not getting a great workout, maybe you have not lifting heavy enough. It should definitely not feel easy. You may also contact Rusty if anything is unclear. He responds pretty quickly. I hope this helps.

HI ANNA,I actually found out about this program through your blog way back but only recently purchased it. I'm trying to find a forum where I can ask questions about the program but can't seem to find one. Maybe you can answer my question. Regarding the principle not to train to failure - does this mean that the weight training portion of the workout should feel fairly easy? I am used to training my legs using squats etc but since he says that we shouldn't need to if we're doing the intervals, I'm following his workouts and not finding it all that challenging.
I thought maybe you could give your opinion on this? (I realize it's not your program but wondered it you'd tried it). There's nothing I hate worse than feeling like I didn't get a good workout.

I meant Spirulina...haha.

Re: Wheat Grass Benefits for Weight Loss and Health

Hi Michael, Ursulina is similar as it also is potent with the same nutrients as wheat grass.

I'm not into the usual "bodybuilding" supplements with their chemicals and nasty stuff, but I'm always interested in nature's finest. I just bought some Spirulina to try and this looks a little similar. I will look out for it.

Hi Anna.

.9 grams of sugar was a new thing for me. However I am aware about the un-intentional calorie intake with cold-drinks. Being a diabetic patient I strongly avoid such things. I prefer natural sweetners like Natvia (http://natvia.com) which are made up of Stevia Leaves. The natural sweetners are easy for metabolism.

Re: Artificial Sweeteners Side Effects: Real or Imagined?

Brian Koloskov — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 14:51:33 -0000

Hi.
I must say nice post.

I do not understand why Stevia is banned in certain countries. It's a natural sweetner and really effective as compared to any artificial sugar.
I am using Natvia's sweetner (http://natvia.com) which is made up of Stevia Leaves. I have observed a real effect in my glucose level fluctuations.

Hi Jessica, yes, you definitely need to eat more nutritious foods especially after having a baby.
