It does work well for weight loss, but it's tough to stick with indefinitely if you like to eat a variety of foods. I found that I could maintain my weight without dieting by running about 15 miles per week, but I slacked off for a bit and kept eating. <br /><br />One thing I'm curious about is the optimal amount of aerobic exercise for weight loss. I think with some of this diet & exercise stuff, you're better off experimenting on yourself a little bit and seeing what works for you. I have a hunch, for example, that I'll be better off running closer to ~9 miles per week while dieting. That way, I can lift some weights and get in and out of the gym in less than hour, and maybe not be as hungry as I am usually after running 5 miles and then lifting.Davehttp://steamcatapult.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-74331397427159779402011-05-04T10:22:37.102-05:002011-05-04T10:22:37.102-05:00Eric,

And find that the evidence simply doesn't support conventional wisdom, and then provide better frameworks for understanding what's really going on.<br />I place Ayn Rand in this category as well, in the realm of philosophy.AHWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829802681623277432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-27570938261265640172011-05-03T23:13:04.613-05:002011-05-03T23:13:04.613-05:00This could be nonlinear, where too much or too lit...This could be nonlinear, where too much or too little salt could be bad for you. For average people, who are not trying to avoid salt, it is hard to get too little salt.<br /><br />PS -- just thinking about KFC makes me want to get a glass of water.David Merkelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073877918072914309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-38994044313773477422011-05-03T22:48:55.513-05:002011-05-03T22:48:55.513-05:00With the medical profession and its associated pro...With the medical profession and its associated propaganda arm in the media, the fervour with which they push their claims lasts about 5 to 10 years. A few years ago it was the scare over cholesterol, which led to to some fools switching from butter to margarine. Before that it was fears over lauric oils. Now it turns out that coconut oil is a healthier oil most others.<br /><br />IvanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-36736300498050250722011-05-03T22:39:07.495-05:002011-05-03T22:39:07.495-05:00The obvious way to run a long-term controlled stud...The obvious way to run a long-term controlled study is to vary the sodium level in institutional cafeterias. Pick a few high-security prisons or K-12 school districts that serve similar populations and set different sodium standards for their menus, then follow up on a random sample of the longer-term inmates/students.Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661650090485723755noreply@blogger.com
