Why Carbs Make Us Fat
July 29, 2014
I can explain all the science you need to know about why carbs make you fat… And I will do it three words.
Ready? Here we go…
CARBS. ARE. AWESOME.
Seriously, this is the MAIN problem with carbohydrates. It’s why cutting carbs from you diet works. It’s why paying attention to the amount of carbs you eat works and it’s why for the most part carbs ARE responsible for our obesity epidemic.
It is EASY to overeat when you are eating carbs. Heck, it’s not just easy, it’s fun. and it’s down right delicious.
There are roughly 3,000 calories in a 72 ounce steak. Now, I know some of you are thinking “72? why so small?” but for the rest of us humans, a 72 ounce steak is so big it’s gross… so imagine eating one 72 ounce steak EVERY SINGLE DAY. Now Add some eggs for breakfast and maybe some veggies throughout the […]

At the grocery store you probably see only two kinds of carrots: baby carrots, and the long ones with the green tops. Both of them are orange. If you’re lucky, you might see a couple colorful carrots at your farmers market that are white, yellow, and purple (maybe).
But did you know that orange carrots weren’t always the norm? In fact, purple carrots were much more prominent before the 16th century. The history of orange carrots is surprising and a little mysterious. Here’s the story on how they came to be.

Now that all the summer produce is available, it’s too hot to turn on the oven. What a tease! If you find yourself making too many a raw salad, smoothie, or even eating straight-up popsicles for dinner, it’s time to talk almost no-cook summer dinners. The ideal lazy summer meal is full of seasonal vegetables or fruits, requires little (or no) oven time, and is less fussy than all those cold-weather meals. Up for the challenge? We have 17 delicious ideas to make it easy for you.

Keeping the kitchen (and myself) healthy and happy means cleaning out the fridge fairly often and pitching things that don’t belong anymore. While I generally experience a sense of satisfaction with the whole process, it also reminds me that I need to be less wasteful.
With this in mind, did you know there are many things that can have second lives, even after they look like they should be thrown away? Here are 10 foods that can easily be saved from the compost and repurposed into new uses that’ll make you (and your wallet) glad you didn’t throw them away.
Meal Skipping | Brad Pilon's 'Eat Blog Eat'
July 25, 2014
I’ve never really understood the concept of ‘meal skipping’.To me, It’s a very funny way to describe ‘not eating’, since you’re not really skipping a meal if you weren’t planning on eating a meal in the first place. In fact, when you stop to think about it ‘meal skipping’ is what you call it when someone isn’t eating when YOU think they should be eating.So essentially, what bugs people is that you are skipping one of THEIR meals. Weird.A lot of the time ‘meal skipping’ is used as a derogatory way to describe some form of extended not-eating… like when you don’t eat during one of the major eating times. Only, if you think about it, the ENTIRE DAY is a major eating time – breakfast in the morning, which bleeds into lunch in the middle of the day, which bleeds into dinner in the evening.Oddly enough, by being a person who uses ‘meal skipping’ in a derogatory manner (suggesting it’s bad for you) then they may also inadvertently be against eating when hungry. After all, if you are not hungry in the middle of day and therefore you decide not to eat, then you are effectively ‘meal skipping’.This begs the question – If you’re going to be pro ‘eating when hungry’ then don’t you also have to be pro ‘not eating when you’re not hungry’??Along the same lines, the idea of meal skipping being derogatory also means that meal size shouldn’t matter

Yesterday I read another article that took the position of excess calories not CAUSING weight gain. Instead, the authors argued that somehow sick/diseased/altered body fat caused us to overeat, thus causing body fat. Their theory put the blame on insulin and carbs (excess insulin MAKES your fat sick).While I have concerns over this line of thinking that I’ll share in a different post, the main question that swirled in my head was “If so many people have issues with eating carbohydrates, then why can I eat carbs?”The easy answer to this question would be the ‘snowflake’ defense – That I’m a unique little snowflake, special in this world. I have some sort of rare unique ability to process carbohydrates… But that’s not a probable answer.I, like most of us, am average. Sure, we all have areas in life where we excel, but physiologically speaking I’m not gifted by any means, but I do eat carbs… lots of them
