Chris: Good to see you again. I thought your talk went really well.
Hope your pal Pendergast got the message. He needs some help.
See you on the slopes next winter.

Having a delicious day off (in the rain and ice) in the Berkshires, between trips for the ‘book tour. Off on Sunday for Phoenix…. then a Red-Eye to Boston…. then to St Louis. Things get easier as I head to Sun Valley (legitimate tour, Honest!). But today… a lazy workout in the barn and a lot of sitting around. Maybe a little football…[Read more]

Wow. Check out today’s NY Times. On the back page of the first section, there is a full page ad for Thinner Next Year. On the other side of the page in the Op Ed section is a piece titled “Our Absurd Fear of Fat”. The author states that new studies show that overweight (BMI 25-30) and Grade One Obese (BMI 31-35) people actually have a LOWER…[Read more]

Take a look at Jim Metcalf, a guy I met at a talk two days ago in Houston. Looks like your basic, handsome, successful Texas business guy. True, but here’s real the thing. He is a deeply and happily changed man. He read Younger, profoundly changed the way he lives (heavy on aerobics now), lost 50 pounds! (which is SO hard) and looks and feels…[Read more]

Jim Graves commented on the post, How Much Sweet?? Jen’s two cents on artificial sweeteners 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Those artificial sweeteners are too “chemical” for me. We use real sugar at our house, just not much of it. I sweeten my cereal in the morning with apples and berries.

Artificial sweeteners sure have found their way into many American’s diets. They are everywhere – there are always at least two other choices beyond sugar at every coffee shop. And let’s face it, we are all […]

Went to a seminar on nutrition Sat. sponsored by LWV CT. Doctor and nutrition expert from Yale said that at the current rate of increase, 1/3 of US population will have diabetes in 30 years. His point was that fixing Medicare is impossible unless life style changes are addressed. The answers are- surprise -diet and exercise.
The guy in charge of…[Read more] -

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 3 weeks agoLOOK, there are 8 weeks to go. That is a long, long time. Even if you ‘ve gotten a bit stuck lately – and some of you have – if you rededicate yourself – you can still make tremendous changes. I have been off on this European tour for almost two weeks and, believe me, I fell off the wagon some. I mean to dig in HARD when I get home. And drive it…

And for most of us . . . it will be a life long work to keep fit.
There will be times we gain a few pounds, times we cannot exercise,

Comments in the NYT about the “Fat” article. Turns out the reason for the anomaly of overweight folks having a lower mortality rate is that “normal” weight folks include smokers and the very ill who have lost weight due to treatment or illness. Longer mortality does not address the quality of life issue or the enormous medical costs…[Read more]
