Here's hoping ya'll get over these bugs and feel your best soon.
Dr. Robert Lustig was on CBS morning show this morning, a friend tells me. One of his points was to defend Mayor Bloomberg and the NY decision to forbid sales of large sodas. Has anyone seen or read about his new book, Fat Chance?
I'm extremely impressed with Dr. Sears' books. In the first place he certainly writes well. The science seems to be there. I'm thinking I may have mentally "given credit" to some other folks over the years for ideas he first published. Interesting to read for the first time such a good explanation of the "why" of needing fish oil. Yes. Harmony, the description you gave does sound like the earlier book I have, which is Enter the Zone. As I understand it, his first book was almost a decade earlier, and might have had similar concepts. I'm reading these 2 back and forth, comparing, because I"m interested in which of these ideas are new and which I just haven't heard.
Have ya'll read that Ash ton Kutch er says he had a pancreatic medical scare from eating like Steve Jobs used to, in order to play Jobs in the new movie. Jobs was a vegetarian for a lot of his life, ate mostly fruit for some of it, and Kutch er was eating almost all fruit. Others say that in the days before Kutch er was taken to the hospital for pain, with pancreatic enzyme numbers out of whack, he had famously been partying often and didn't change drinking habits. So since fruit alone doesn't cause pain for most people, they say alcohol while eating lightly was more likely the culprit.
In tugging my vegetable and fruit servings upward, I've allowed myself a Wendy's apple-chicken half-salad twice in the last several days. I had stopped those in the past because they do have 10 grams of sugars (sigh) and over 600 grams of sodium. Still, they equal a serving of vegetables and one of fruit - very filling. And the chicken satisfies the protein. My own toss salads are better for me, though, when I have the ingredients and am at home. My favorite is a modified 7-layer and another good one is avocado added with a sprinkle of cheddar.
