Other diets
Reading about nutrition which is contained in many diet books can be very good--especially since they disagree so much. The main thing I have learned from other diets is they only work short term. No S is a long term for life diet that becomes really easy to stay on.

Sorry I over-reacted
I actually wanted to edit my post before anyone read it because I think I was a bit harsh. I'm not saying that people should buy water-- or not for that matter. It's just that I'm hearing this environmental argument against bottled water everywhere these days-- and, well I'm just saying that a plast...

Bottle water and environment
Sorry, but the environmental argument against bottled water really irritates me. Why? Because they are the same bottles that pop comes in and I don't hear anyone telling people only to buy pop in aluminum cans! Think about it, even if the drinker doesn't recycle the homeless guy who dumpster dives f...

Walk the dog
Your post reminded me of a piece of advice I read in an exercise book back in the seventies. " Walk the dog, even if you don't have a dog."
Too bad I didn't take the advice back then.[/list]

Your 15 minute segments are fine. The research for the last several years show that aerobic exercise can be broken up into 10 minute or longer minutes and still get the same results as the longer sessions. You are still supposed to get the 20 to 30 minute total but you can divide it into 2 or 3 ten ...

I used to drink heavy when I was in the Air Force and learned one very valuable trick--has to do with avoiding a hangover, not reducing how much you drink.

It doesn't sound to me like your schedule is weird, the only thing that is strange is that you're eating 6 times a day, yet you sound as though you are always hungry! You probably aren't eating enough at meals. You sound like you are currently eating about every 3 hours--this is normal only if you a...
