Health: Calorie and Carbohydrate Counters

Calorie and Carbohydrate Counters

Written by Dr. Donald A. Miller

I recently received an email offer for a hand held computer that contains food fact tables, non volatile memory to hold repparttar

user's input data (food types and amounts, height, frame type) and calculates repparttar 114986

total calories or carbohydrates that repparttar 114987

dieter might want to track or limit.

Rather clever, and it will probably sell well.

However, if repparttar 114988 dieter chooses safe food types, he/she can eat huge amounts without ever counting either calories or carbohydrates, and still lose weight. Of course, limiting consumption to moderate amounts will speed weight loss, and allow stabilizing at one's ideal weight.

Rather than reduce or bypass parts of repparttar 114989 digestive system, repparttar 114990 most effective weight loss surgery is to staple ... repparttar 114991 mouth.

Here's a useful secret. A small amount of fat can satisfy hunger better and longer than a large amount of low fat protein concentrate. Restrict that fat to low- or un- saturated types, such as available in nuts, eggs, legumes,

Evening Primrose

I remember repparttar

first time I saw Evening Primrose it was growing in an

old abandoned garden. I tried to dig it but it did not move well. I

loved repparttar 114985 way it looked. I didn't know what it was so I took a flower

to my favorite nursery and ask what it was they told me it was a weed. Could I get some for my yard. The guy at repparttar 114986 nursery thought I was

nuts. I remember him telling me that it would take over my yard. But he

got me two plants and it did spread. Like many of my other herbs it is

prolific but I just cut repparttar 114987 ones that get out of hand and put them in

my compost pile. For some reason unknown to me they help break down

compost at a faster rate. One of repparttar 114988 first things I learned about this herb was that it was a

night time flower. I love night time flowers they shine in repparttar 114989

moonlight. Evening Primrose is especially beautiful in a moonlight

garden as it is phosphorescent in moonlight. It also has another name it is called evening star because repparttar 114990 petals seem to glow at night. It

is a perennial reaching about 4 inches in heighth with pale yellow

flowers it is especially fragrant. It can be eaten it is a true pot

herb because repparttar 114991 whole plant can be eaten. The root when boiled tastes

to me something like parsnips. The origin of Evening Primrose is North America but it spread to Europe
