Dieting at the drive-through
Gilroy Dispatch (subscription), CA - 20 hours ago The menu of a typical fast-food restaurant - filled with tacos, fries and burgers - makes it seem impossible to avoid a fattening, carbohydrate-laden meal.
Another way to make dieting-on-the-go easier is to eat foods that have "staying power," meaning they make you feel fuller for longer. Foods with high amounts of protein and low amounts of carbohydrates - such as lean meat and foods made from soy - tend to fill you up more than simple carbohydrates such as crackers or candy, so you won't find yourself munching on snacks right after eating a meal.

Carbohydrate Consumption Is A Good Thing
The Common Voice, SC - Dec 19, 2005 for many Americans. "Merely cutting back on carbohydrate consumption may not be the correct way to lose weight. Health experts emphasize
When I was losing weight, I restricted my carbs to about 35-40g per day after the intial first few weeks at 20g carbs. Today, now that I have lost almost 190 pounds on the low-carb lifestyle, 180 of which was lost in 2004, I enjoy between 100-125g net carbs per day. Would anyone want to challenge me that I am eating too few carbs? Actually, some low-carbers may even say I am eating TOO MANY carbs if you can believe that. It's all about finding YOUR carb tolerance level and staying within those parameters to control your weight and remain healthy.

Food For Fuel Not So Much For Taste
United States Sports Academy Sports Journal, AL - 18 hours ago Be aware of the "Glycemic Index." Consume low-level carbohydrate foods, which are mostly green vegetables such as broccoli, lettuce, etc. Potatoes, corn etc.
Researchers have come a long way from the early exercise scientists and physical educators who attempted to modify the exercise, diet and health related issues such as obesity, and cardiovascular or heart diseases. Out of this progress, for instance, the food pyramid has changed; the concepts of exercise and sport have been redefined. At the same time, life styles of average people have changed due mostly to the use of technology. Presently, everyone is searching with desperation to find new solutions to tackle obesity. I ask myself -- Why? Why reinvent the wheel? Why can’t we just realistically focus on the issue from a very simplistic and practical point of view? Researchers and medical doctors know and understand the causes and the contributing factors for obesity? Obesity in its simplistic nature is due to an unbalanced end result of calories taken in (unhealthy eating habits) and calories taken out (sedentary life style) of the human body? In other words, the value of calories taken in is greater than calories taken out. If you know how to manage your money you should understand this very simple concept. Your bank-account calculations are positive if you deposit more and spend less. Calorie calculations should be the same way.

Study tips for crunch time
The Appalachian Online - 19 minutes ago Do not completely change usual eating habits, but make sure to get enough meals in a day. “Trying to get by on a high carbohydrate diet is usually not good
“Some people do better when they can bounce ideas off of each other,” counseling center staff psychologist Dr. Denise M. Lovin said. “It’s certainly not going to be effective if you’re studying in a group that’s not studying and where you just distract yourselves, but others do well individually where they are not distracted and wanting to socialize.”

Total Recall Nutrition
Competitor Magazine, CA - Nov 30, 2005 While some athletes follow traditional carbo-loading protocols as means to enhance muscle glycogen stores, a rigorous seven-day carbohydrate loading regimen
Regardless of the sport, athletes who fail to fuel prior to long training bouts (longer than 90 minutes) will not only be vulnerable to premature depletion of liver glycogen stores (“bonking”) but also vulnerable to a depletion of muscle glycogen stores (“hitting the wall”), which causes overall performance to decline and makes for a very long, slow road to recovery. The food consumed prior to longer training bouts will restock liver glycogen stores, which helps to stabilize energy levels during the initial stages of training and also increases fuel efficiency due to sparing of muscle glycogen. In order to reduce risk for the mental “bonk” and performance declining “wall,” athletes should consume about two calories per pound of lean body weight, aiming at one gram of protein for every four grams of low-to-moderate glycemic index carbohydrate for each hour prior to the start of training (e.g., 200-300 calories one hour before, 400-600 calories two hours before and 600-900 calories three hours before). Sample pre-training foods include peanut butter and banana sandwiches (about 500 calories), low-fat yogurt blended with fruit ( about 300 calories), energy bars (about 250 calories), fruit smoothies (calories vary) and low-sugar cereal with low-fat milk and juice (about 400-600 calories).
