I think I'm going to try that twinkie. - 11/20/2010   12:51:09 AM

Someone sent me the TWINKIE DIET in a Sparkmail but I thought it was funny. I love that MEN can lose weight on 1800 calories per day. I GAIN on that much. - 11/17/2010   10:22:27 AM

The Twinkie article raises some good points actually, about how we don't have to drop our treats, just exercise portion control. :-)
Good articles this week as usual. - 11/16/2010   12:58:58 PM

I think I am making pumpkin pie oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow--sounds delicious! - 11/15/2010   6:32:00 PM

I heard about the Twinkie diet and the popcorn wrapper ones. I did like the cold weather tips. - 11/15/2010   3:25:17 PM

The 'Fruit and nut energy bar" and the "Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal" articles caught my eye. It would have been helpful if they had provided the calorie content with these articles. I will probably make the pumpkin oatmeal anyway. It looks yummy!

love the Twinkie diet. I could live on junk foods but don't think it is realistic for a long term diet. just taking in fewer calories will lead to weight loss but don't know that it would help my slightly high blood sugar count and hight blood pressure. - 11/15/2010   11:48:12 AM

Twinkie diet = gross! - 11/15/2010   11:23:24 AM

Hi! Loved the tips on meditation! It's nice to take a quiet moment before enjoying a meal :)

Have a healthy day, everyone :)

I had heard about the "Twinkie Diet" already, but it still fascinates me. I would like to know how much of that professor's weight loss was fat, and how much was muscle -- if he's eating a lot of low-cal, high-carb foods, he probably lost muscle. It does bring up a great point: Are we so calorie and weight obsessed that we define healthy with numbers, regardless of how we reach those numbers?? - 11/15/2010   8:28:53 AM

Twinkie diet - 11/14/2010   8:10:02 PM

Pumpkin oatmeal sounded good, til I hit the part about bananas. Am I one of the only people on the planet that really hates the taste of banana...in any form? - 11/14/2010   4:55:43 PM

The Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal & ways to keep warm working out caught my eye. I'd already seen (& LOVed) the Prof with the Twinkie diet and shuddered at the fat/cheese push. The microwave popcorn info has been around for a while. I lost a friend to pulmonary fibrosis. Microwave popcorn was a thing she wasn't supposed to have in the house. I like my old Presto hot-air popper! - 11/14/2010   3:23:35 PM

Teacher dropping 27 lbs on Twinkie diet caught my eye, lol. - 11/14/2010   3:00:28 PM

Thanks for the cold weather exercise tips and the pumpkin oatmeal recipe. I bookmarked the oatmeal one so i can try it sometime soon. - 11/14/2010   1:20:59 PM

THE POP CORN ONE GOT MY ATTENCION OMG.. - 11/14/2010   1:08:30 PM

A lot of great articles this week! I saved the pumpkin oatmeal recipe. Wondered about "mediating" anywhere, until I read the article. Couldn't agree more with Professor Twinkie--it's the calories, stupid. And am real pleased with SparkPeople being featured in the Des Moines paper. - 11/14/2010   10:33:53 AM
