It isn't called the hunger diet because you go hungry, but because that is when you eat. What I do when I need to lose weight is control my portion sizes. I only eat when I feel hungry, NOT when I'm bored or have nothing else...

taylorpelto Very, very well said. Recently I developed a bit of the flu, and I went several days without really eating or feeling hungry. I don't think this is a bad thing at all. My body just didn't need it at the time.

taylorpelto Which is what most people do nowadays. I'm sure scheduled meals would be alright, but thinking back to Grandma's 3 squares a day, sometimes too much food is just too much food.

Schwans Foods is coming out with a special doggy treat that is an "ice cream" designed for dogs. I think it's a great way to treat your pooch to a cool yummie while still being healthy for them! At about $5 for a box of 4 they're...

taylorpelto Dogs are NOT supposed to eat ice cream, even if some sterile corporate factory made it "special" for dogs.. Refined sugars and dairy products are not natural and are not healthy. I am sure one of these ice cream things won't kill a dog, but unless One wants...

taylorpelto hehe, all corporate dog foods are bread pellets ;) I started researching something called the RMB diet for dogs (or BARF diet, but RMB sounds better!). What it believes is that a large portion (like 60%) of your dog's daily food intake should be some kind of...

taylorpelto I remember having a postman once who always had some kind of treat with him. Whenever he went to a house with dogs, he personally gave them treats so they would come to recognize him and not bark so much ;)

taylorpelto Neither!! I much prefer the "sulk under the blankies" option. I don't take medicine. I don't believe in it. Why should I believe that the "medicine" I would be taking would actually "cure" me? It doesn't. Pills temporarially and artifically relieve symptoms in...

Yes, according to a site that I have recently visited, we are 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. Apparently, this is because of the compression of our cartilage. In the day, when we work and all that, our cartilages...

taylorpelto Pit bulls are considered dangerous and aggressive because their owners make them so. It seems to me that the majority of Pitt Bull owners are not loving families, but arrogant people who want a dog that can be mean, aggressive, and scary. It is those people...

taylorpelto It isn't surprising! small children are NOT supposed to be glued to the tv!! It is amazing that there are some people who have kids with ADD who continue to let their children eat poor diets and watch constant tv and just put their kids on "medications"....
