Wow, I hadn't heard of detached retinas related to running. That's frightening. I have heard that running on hard-surfaced paths is very bad for your knees.

It's getting cooler here. I love the fall weather, but I do have a harder time dieting when it's cold. It's partly because I just spend more time indoors, with the kitchen close by.

Oh, that's a great idea. I'm going to do pushups against the wall while watching TV tonight. Pushups hadn't occurred to me. It's so good to hear the creative ideas that people here have to share.

Bluebird, that's wonderful! It's so hard when you hit those plateaus, and even though you're trying hard, things don't seem to be changing. I'm happy for you. Keep up the good work!

Best Way to Prepare for a Hiking Trip?

I'm probably going to sign up for a "walking tour" vacation. These walks are really hikes. I hate being the slowest one in the group. Even though I pick the "easy to moderate" level, I have found...

That's very interesting about the effect of green tea. I'm going to Whole Foods today. I think I'll splurge on one of their good quality loose green teas. Thanks for telling us about this.

Thanks, Bluebird, that's a good idea. Cheese is really filling, and for me, if it's a sharp cheese, I don't have to eat very much to feel satisfied and full.

I looked at the website. I definitely could enjoy a dinner of steak, asparagus, and sweet potato fries! I think it would be too hard for me to give up carbs to the extent that they suggest.

That sounds like a really good idea. Peanut butter and oats are both very filling, so I imagine that a little would go a long way toward making one feel full. Thanks for the suggestion!

I use almond milk all the time now. It's great in coffee and cereal. Oh yes, it's also perfect for dunking biscotti. I agree that it lasts longer than cow's milk.

I really like brown rice a lot. The major difference for me is that I find it very filling and satisfying. Just a small portion of it fills me up very nicely, but white rice doesn't have that effect.

I use the microwave, but I've become paranoid about heating up any food that's in contact with plastic. So I always put the food in a ceramic dish and cover with another dish, rather than plastic.
