Saw this in the Star's "health and fitness" section:
Wansink (from Cornell University) asked 150 Parisians how they know when it's time to stop eating. "When I'm no longer full, or the food stops tasting good," they answered. Next he posed that question to 150 people in Chicago. Their answers? "When my plate is empty. When everyone else is done. When the television show that I am watching ends."
"Those are all external cues," Wansick says. "If we follow external cue

Snacks seem to make or break most people's efforts at losing weight. It's so easy to pack away a lot of bad calories in a short amount of time (office M & M's bowl). There's some
great snacking tips on one of our blogs. As well as
this article from the Mayo Clinic's website.
What has worked for you?

If birds of a feather flock together, then what does your group of closest friends say about you? Well, a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine funded by the National Institute on Aging says your friends are getting you fat and obesity is "socially contagious". I'll explain...
We've all been under the peer pressure of making healthy choices when with a group of friends for the night. It happens at home when watching a movie, the restaurant when discussing business, and the bar…

It's Not a Diet, It's a Lifestyle Plan
Erik Deckers

Copyright 2009
Day 1 – Starting a new diet my wife wants me to try. So weak. . . need food. . . wasting away.
"It's not even breakfast time," says my wife. "Don't be so dramatic."
As if. Starting new diets are always hard. My body can sense when one is coming, and it fights with me, fights without knowing this is supposed to be good for me. I've tried being sneaky, not telling it when a diet is coming,…

I rolled into Whole Foods today to grab a drink and noticed a group of protesters at the entrance. They were holding up signs attacking
John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, for his stance on Obama's health care reform plan. I stopped to snap a photo and grab a flier, which referenced a recent
Wall Street Journal op-ed…

Fitness isn't that complicated. Greg Glassman of
CrossFit summed it up in 100 words. I like the way he puts it.
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: dead-lift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics:pull-ups, dip

Fatigued or downright depressed in your job search? It's a small comfort to know that you have plenty of company. I struggled, myself, with intense depression and anxiety last year. In recent days, I have apparently joined the ranks of the happily employed, but the fatigue associated with going from a second-shift job to first-shift has been worse than expected. I wanted to get right back in high-gear as soon as I got back to Indianapolis and started my new job last Monday. My body clearly had o…

My daughter started back to school last week. It's back to class for me as well. Gonna start a

If you pay attention to the local or national news today (radio, TV, internet or newspaper) you will undoubtedly see a story about the health care debate.
The reason this has become such big news is that for the first time in a long time the average intellectually lazy American (which is about 95% of the country) is beginning to pay attention to what is going on in the US politically.
Unfortunately, I still think that most are still just paying attention to the sound bites. We hear that “46 mi…

What's your priority, food or activity?
I know plenty of people who are committed to getting all their meals for the day. These same people will say that they just don't have the time to exercise.
Really?
I say people make time for the things they are committed to.
Personal fitness is a top level commitment for me. You might say,"Of course you're committed to it, Rob. You're a personal trainer." Actually, I'm a personal trainer because I'm passionate about my fitness - and yours.
It's great…

I wanted to write a different perspective than
Mike's Rant on Healthcare.
Healthcare is broke. You know it. I know it. People talk about the expense involved in universal health care and paying Americans having to foot the bills for non-paying Americans. Guess what? You already pay. If I don't have insurance and I get in a car wreck, I still get services and you still pay for it.

It's true! I'm on the "ragged edge". In fact, I have been for months now & it's not just a few allergies that are causing the problem. Much of it is the "angst" of which I have spoken in the past. And I'm not the only one feeling it. Ask any "senior" these days if they feel a level of "angst" and watch the eyes glaze over & the rage rise on their face!
We don't often get into highly controversial subjects at THE STATION. Deliberately so, I might add. And one of the most highly controver…

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives unveiled landmark legislation to fix the nation’s ailing health care system.
The plan calls for sweeping changes to make sure every American will have access to affordable insurance.
House leaders are touting the bill as historic, attempting to do what no other President or Congress has done.
They're pushing to pass the health care overhaul before the August recess.
Tuesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it a health insurance act for the middle class, ma…
