Sick in the Saddle


Well, back in the saddle might mean riding the horse, but writing the blog requires me to be illness free. And that I am not. Not that is until recently. My recent move must have presdisposed me to infection because shortly after arriving, I came down with what seems now to be an infulenza style illness. And after the baby started in daycare, the organisms have been free flowing at our house. Ever had diarrhea so bad you had to throw up in the trash can while embracing the toilet with the other end? I'll spare you the details.


Nevertheless, illness is a guaranteed weight loss vehicle. More soon.

WG: Sorry to hear that. But hopefully you will be back in the saddle soon.

Illness may be a guaranteed weight loss mechanism but not a desirable one... :-(

Good luck.

A Point of View

Modern Western society is awash in a sea of food affluence. For many of us, from the moment we arise in the morning to the time we fall asleep at night, the one rhythmic pattern occurring daily with anticipated consistency is food intake—and in many cases very high quality food intake. Even the smallest of excess calories consumed daily translates over time to excess energy being stored as fat in adipose tissue. ______________________________________ Overeating has become the symptom of a cultural disease associated with conditioned food intake, not a mystical physiologic process involving genes gone wild. From one diet manual to the next, the book offerings to navigate this mess are fancied up versions of the same old thing, eventually returning the dieter to a conditioned system of eating behavior. The contention of this blog, is it's time to get off the merry-go-round of dieting and learn the ABC's of basic nutritional science. Teach your children what they need to know to navigate the gauntlet of foods in the 21st century. We encourage any experts in the field to contribute.
