Because we’re fat. Let me back up. Much has been said over the past couple of weeks about what Olympians eat. Michael Phelps and his 12,000 calories a day has put so many people into shock that iHop is sending out emergency chocolate-chip pancake teams into all major cities. On the other end of the …
I am not much of a cook. You all know this. But that doesn’t stop me from trying! There’s just something about all the dicing and stirring and seasoning that I find therapeutic. The end results are dicey though. My husband, married to me for better or worse for nine years now, doesn’t even blink …
We need another pill like we need one of these. (Seriously, awesome – right??) “It’s a little bit like a free lunch without the calories,” says Dr. Ronald Evans, lead researcher of the Salk group. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… exercise in a pill! Wait — we’ve been promised this before. A pharmaceutical …

Grey hair – not just for geriatrics anymore! Ah, I love Jay. It’s the weekend! Everyone who’s planning on ending up in a restaurant (minus the tray and apron), raise your hands. To everyone else: what kind of American are you? The economy is failing and only your reckless spending habits can save it! Move, …
This would normally be the post where I sum up the previous month’s experiment and list my stats along with the pros and cons. However, seeing as the Primal Blueprint was a rather spectacular failure (my fault, not theirs) – I’ve spent the last week or so licking my wounds and pouting – this will …

My stars, you people have opinions! 41 comments and counting on my “Primal Problems” post and every single one of them well thought out, passionate and informative. And that’s not even counting the incredible number of you who e-mailed me about this. It’s taken me all day to read and process them all in my …
I’m officially halfway done with the Great Primal Experiment. Actually halfway plus ONE. Which is important because I am counting every day on this sucker. I still don’t like eating meat. I still miss my morning oatmeal and dark chocolate. But hey, I’m loving all the veggies and I’m not at all constipated. (What? You …
Nothing I love like a good Polka – really! They are just such good, foot-stomping fun. I know that makes me the ultimate geek. I’d be embarrassed about that except that I claimed my title years ago and now just wear my Linux shirt with pride. Besides, when was the last time you polka’d? I …
Lying to yourself about your health makes about as much sense as this. Come on, you can tell me. You’re an adult now so hopefully you didn’t resort to the old under-the-napkin or feed-it-to-the-dog tricks. Did you get the leafy greens out with the full intent of sauteeing them with some lovely garlic and shallots …
Blame it on their friends! (Don’t we always?) But wait, it’s not that simple. In all of my writing about my struggles with anorexia, orthorexia and general bad-self-image-exia, I have come to notice something interesting. Particularly something interesting about you. Every time I write about eating disorders or the pressure to be thin, the majority …
