I can't say that "super-sizing" it is really worth any of that.
You'll shoot your eye out.

when I say eating 4-5 times a day, I'm not saying complete meals. I'm saying you've got your three main meals. An apple, or some sort of fruit/veggie. Is what helps.
Your professor may have claimed to be a myth etc, but it works for me. So, I guess everyone does work in different ways.
Key to any weight loss, or dieting, is exercise and that's something we all can agree on [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/getsmile.tmp007816300.gif[/img]
and all those = expensive hospital bills
it's a simple problem with a simple solution (a solution that we're finding out could be really cheap if we target the youth) - the governor also pointed out that a lot of safety programs WV's pointed have been successful because of little billy or susan telling mom or dad "you better buckle up" - God bless the youth
the key is establishing a culture where people popularize the resolve to actually do what it takes to stay healthy
Go Wahoos!
Go Mounties!

When I teach nutrition to my students, their main project is keeping a food diary. I actually went away from them writing down what they had a breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I labeled their chart with times. So, they actually had to list all the snacks that came between meals. I still find it hard to believe how many kids do not eat breakfast. I can't live without it, anymore. There was a time when a Pop-Tart was sufficient, but my increase in physical activity made me change my ways.
We have also gone away from soft drinks, candy snacks, etc. All our vending machines have to have a certain number of snacks meeting some kind of criteria. And they are all broken. I think that is part of the deal. Lunches are more healthy and they offer fresh fruit every day.
I saw a report on why people from low socioeconomic, not necessarily low education, areas tend to have more problems with obesity. The foods that are more prevalent in their diets are the foods that are the cheapest. I don't know if any of you have looked, but fresh fruit and veggies get pretty outrageous at checkout and don't go very far.
A lot needs to be done...by a lot of people.
I'll admit, missing breakfast is my biggest downfall.
I just never make time for it.
But I do think, breakfast needs to be the biggest meal, with lunch and dinner the smaller of the two.

I was just talking with a friend of mine who is a social worker the other day about this fact. I am not placing all the blame on the store/manufacturers for setting the prices, but it's a whole lot cheaper (not to mention easier) to go and buy something fast food and not have to prepare it or to buy ramen noodles and mac-n-cheese.
I make Machiavelli look like a weenie.
Im telling ya Steer...Rasin Bran!!... Its a life saver...
Oatmeal is better, I think. I love Raisin Bran and Smart Start, but oatmeal seems to stick with you longer. I actually made an oatmeal smoothie one time. It was really good.
Yeah I like oatmeal too, but it seems like its too much effort that early! I just like to throw some raisin bran in a bowl w/ some skim milk. You can tell the difference...you feel good all day long.
Totally agree. If I eat oatmeal, it's usually on a really cold day and I don't have to rush around. I usually make a protein shake and have a banana. At school, I will have my large mug of coffee (don't want any comments from the gurus) and will snack on baby carrots or Craisins until lunch.Lunch is always a salad. I usually do really well with my eating until about 10:30 at night. I work out from about 6:00-8:30 and then have a light dinner. That late night snack is really important and I've really had to watch what I eat. I've been eating peanuts lately and that seems to hold me over. I wish I was slender, again. This micromanagement really gets old.
