Wow…I’m reading the archives of the Health At Every Size blog, and came across an item talking about orthorexia nervosa:

It’s great to eat healthy food, and most of us could benefit by paying a little more attention to what we eat. However, some people have the opposite problem: they take the concept of healthy eating […]

While browsing the forums over at Big Fat Blog (BFB), I came across an interesting movement called health at every size (or HAES).
The basic principles of HAES are:

Accepting and respecting the diversity of body shapes and sizes
Recognizing that health and well-being are multi-dimensional and that they include physical, social, spiritual, occupational, emotional, and intellectual aspects
Promoting […]

So, as promised, I did my post-vacation weigh-in. Last weigh-in (on January 29th), I hit the century mark, and got down to 275.
Today’s weight: 272.
Sweet! Three pounds isn’t a huge amount of weight for five weeks, but given that at least two of ‘em were vacation/post-vacation off-track eating and it took me a while to […]

So, Wayne Dyer is back with a new book and a new PBS show called Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling.
I’m not sure why, but I thought his previous program, on intention, was better. Maybe it’s because the former program wound up being really instrumental in my progress this past year (as I’ve mentioned before).
Anyways, I […]

Regina Wilshire, who writes Weight of the Evidence, has, IMO, a must-read blog for anyone interested in following the science of weight and who speculates, as I do, that there’s a lot more going on to weight loss than “eat less, exercise more.” Composition of foods in the diet is a particularly valuable research topic […]

I was reviewing the very interesting comments over on Diet Blog’s What is the Best Diet? thread.
I came across a neat blog called The “Duh” Diet, written by Edward O’Neill. After scanning his rules, I realized he could pretty much be describing what I do (except I don’t eat so many snacks…maybe just a […]

I just posted this very long comment over at Big Fat Deal in response to a thread about the recent study purporting to show that lower the GI of a diet isn’t helpful.
Needless to say, this is stressing folks out. And in my quick review, I’m not so sure the press has gotten this […]

Geez, four posts in one day! That’s gotta be a record for me. But I just finished reading The Hungry Years and wanted to blog this passage:

I don’t think there’s any real answer to the obesity crisis. Getting fat–it’s in the system. In a way, it is the system. I heard an item on the […]

Say what you will about me, clearly I’m not overly obsessed about my online reputation :).
Two weeks ago, Debbi tagged me from her blog, The Shrinking Knitter, and I just found it (via Technorati).
What a neat blog! Debbi and I have lots in common: we’re both Geminis, we’re both in communications, and we’re both Jills-of-all-trades. […]

So in my quest to see what the Drs. Heller are up to these days, I went to Amazon and found The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan.
When I decided that $24 was a bit steep for a two-year old book that is really for the reference library, I checked out their resellers’ prices […]

The folks at Big Fat Blog have put together a great page called Big Fat Facts:

The overall goal of Big Fat Facts is simple: to get information out there that directly combats “conventional wisdom” on fat, diets, weight loss, and health.

As the credits for BFF indicate, this is a good summary of the work of […]
