This is always tough to admit, but nutrition is more important than your workouts when it comes to fat loss. And since diet is more important than exercise, I've decided to spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with these 5 diet secrets:...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/a_HO_uiEW_A/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/a_HO_uiEW_A/ 1 March 2010, 9:25 am

If you depend on classic aerobic cardio for fat loss, you probably spend 30 minutes on a machine trying to burn a set number of calories. But does that work? Does burning 500 calories per day cause you to lose 1 pound of fat per week?...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/wZpSm3lIVnw/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/wZpSm3lIVnw/ 12 February 2010, 9:21 pm
Body Fat can obviously creep up on you if you don't keep a constant check on your weight. One day you might weigh yourself and be extremely stunned at just how many pounds you have gained. So you look for how to lose body fat quickly in an effort to try and get back to your healthy weight....]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/GqUJ7idrbUs/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/GqUJ7idrbUs/ 10 February 2010, 7:58 pm

This is something that has been on my mind for a while but reading Indo's and Sandeepa's latest posts, I decided it's time I did some musing too, though my post is not directly related to theirs. As bloggers, and those who write mostly about food, there's a lot we write about 'the tradition in my family'. We romanticise (me included) how our mothers and grandmothers made this or that, how a recipe is traditional, peculiar to our homes, or twisted (you know what I mean - with a twist in it), etce...]]> http://whenmysoupcamealive.blogspot.com/2010/02/mt-nacho.html http://whenmysoupcamealive.blogspot.com/2010/02/mt-nacho.html 24 February 2010, 1:55 pm
We scaled its heights - and grimaced. I didn't really know what I was letting us in for when I ordered this starter. (Yes, it was an 'appetizer', not the main dish.) I thought it was a typical menu illustration where the picture has been magnified a hundredfold. It was, but that didn't mean the original was a rational size. I have a little more respect for menu illustrations now. Needless to say, our meal ended here. (We had also ordered some corn and cheese poppers.

The appearance of some live forms of protein was no deterrent. It had cost good money, and it had to be used, so this was what I made with the last of my last batch of couscous. I now have another batch of two big packets. It made its way here last January, a year and a month ago. I finally managed to inaugurate it last week. Along with that batch of couscous came a batch of other Mediterranean delights, which included sumac, thyme mix, zatar and orange flower water.

Children learn what they live. My mom had that on a plaque at our house growing up. And I’m finding it very true in many instances of life, particularly in food choices.

Reading is a way to gain knowledge, to travel to distant times and places, to exercise your reason or your imagination. Reading moves us – to action or to tears.

The doctor said to feed the baby salsa. My eyes popped out, and my husband’s ears perked up. What?! Her reasoning was that babies adopt the tastes of their families.

Cheese… in a dessert? Clearly, some terrible mistake has been made… Pondering what deranged, misled cook thought it was a good idea to top a perfectly good apple pie with little shreds of florescent orange cheddar cheese, the combination struck me as downright repulsive.

Who knew that maca was the new hot, must-have ingredient? Not I, that’s for sure!

Worn down by demanding schedules and life in general, we could all use a little pick-me-up now and then, be it in the form of a stiff drink, a jolt of caffeine, or a pleasant little sugar buzz. Or, as some forward-thinking Italians realized so many years ago, all of the above.

Though I usually like to keep my reviews focused on specific edibles, books, and food companies themselves, the opportunity to go on a little shopping spree and give my 2 cents on iHerb.com, an online superstore, was just too tempting to pass up.

Thick, Chewy Granola Bars Adapted from King Arthur Flour This is probably the most flexible recipe I’ve posted.
