No theme today, just a couple of points that I need to get off my chest...
- It drives me crazy to hear people use the word "diet" as if it there were some short-cut answer to their weight loss issues. You don't "go on a diet" and then "come off the diet" unless you want to "lose weight" and then "gain all that weight back again". A diet is a way of eating. You either eat, and maintain, a healthy diet or you don't.
- My wife watches the Today Show, and Joy Bauer is their resident diet guru. She can't get it through her head that saturated fat isn't the devil's food. Hasn't she read Good Calories, Bad Calories or watched Fat Head? Science has put this question to rest.
- Speaking of Tom Naughton (i.e., the Fat Head guy), he has a new blog.
- Adding an active dog to your life is as good a way as any to increase the amount of sprinting that you do in a day. We just got a 2.5-year-old mutt (border collie/hound) who loves her daily runs. We got about 1.5 miles or so every day and it's sprint, walk, sprint, walk the whole way. She doesn't like it when I rest too much.
