Day Diet Plans - Watching Tv Can make you Fat
Watching TV can definitely make anyone fat. No, not just because it is a sedentary activity, but because the information most commercials are giving is extremely misleading and really confusing, to say the least.
Most people who know me, know I am not a TV watcher. Actually, I don't even have cable at home (A rare thing these days, I know.) Very often, I have no idea which show is the "latest craze" and which commercials are all the rave.
Last week the TV did catch my attention. I was at my parent's house and my mom had the TV on in the background. I was helping her cook and I nearly chopped my fingers off because I couldn't believe what I was hearing!
"Eat Cheerios to lower your cholesterol." "Three or more glasses of skim milk a day are a great way to lose weight". Then it got ugly "Splenda is just like sugar and is great for kids".
The worst of them all (the one where my mother had to nearly restrain me from attacking the TV "There is nothing wrong with High Fructose Corn Syrup. It comes from corn and can actually be good for you." I nearly passed out.
I can see why people are totally confused about healthy eating. I can also see why obesity, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes are at an all time high in this country and in many others as well.
After I was done hyperventilating, I decided to first turn the TV off (because my heart just couldn't take anymore) and then write this newsletter to clear up a few misconceptions.
1. Cheerios biggest claim to fame is that eating them will help you lower your cholesterol. I am here to tell you that eating processed grains, especially in the form of cereal can actually make your cholesterol go up! The cholesterol study done showed how soluble fiber can help the body eliminate bad cholesterol from the body. Cheerios has 1 gram of soluble fiber per serving. Woop-dee-doo. Big deal. I can get 2 grams of soluble fiber from an apple, 3 grams from broccoli and carrots, and more than 4 grams from kidney beans. (Beat that Cheerio Man). Honestly, I don't think there are many foods in a box that are healthy at all. They have to be highly processed to stay shelf stable, many times loading them up with chemicals and fillers that are making us gain weight. My recommendation is ditch the cereal and pick up some wholesome natural foods like fruits and veggies. Natural grains like brown rice, millet and quinoa are 10x's better than any boxed cereal.
2. Milk does a body bad! That's really what the commercial should say. Ok, that is not entirely true. Conventional milk does a body bad. If you have read the Dairy chapter in The Diet Solution Program, you know my stance on milk: Organic is a must and Raw Milk is even better.
3. Give Splenda to my children? Never! Splenda has not been out on the market long enough to show whether it is actually safe or not. Until then it is a public health experiment (No thanks, I don't' want to be your guinea pig). Being the organic chemistry nerd that I am, I know exactly how sugar is converted to Splenda. I will spare you the chem lesson but tell you that Splenda (or sucralose) is a synthetic compound stumbled upon in 1976 by scientists in Britain seeking a new pesticide formulation. Huh? Did you say pesticide? Yup. Many chemists believe this molecule resembles a pesticide much more than it resembles natural sugar. If this is still in debate, I will not be a test subject. I highly recommend you take yourself and your children out of this experiment as well. My tip: Stick to natural sweeteners like whole fruits, stevia and agave syrup and stay away from artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Equal and Sweet & Low.
I could probably go on and on. If I watched TV long enough (or if I actually purchased cable) I could probably find 10, 20, 100 more commercials that are giving us false info, all in the name of selling products.
Now, go shut the TV off will ya?

A Comparative Review Of The Motorola Defy
Motorola is planning to introduce seven more phones to their line up. There’s a lot to be excited about here, but one of those phones in particular is garnering a tremendous amount of buzz. That phone is the Motorola Defy, which is a sleeker, revised edition of the Motorola i1, and which made its official debut recently on the Oprah Winfrey Show. However, it’s not just high-profile appearances and the popularity of the i1 behind the hype. Android fans are generally excited about some of the innovations that the Defy is bringing to the table, so without further ado, let’s see how it stacks up against other Android-powered phones.
The Defy is an Android smartphone with digital player, digital camera, and FM radio available through T-Mobile. The device is 4.2 inches high, 2.3 inches wide, 0.5 inches thick, and weighs in at 4.6 oz. Additional features include Bluetooth, GPS, speakerphone, touchscreen, and voice dialing. Internet and data services include Web browsing, SMS, e-mail, text messages, and picture messages. The phone comes with a primary 1540mah battery, usb data cable, hands-free stereo headset, and a Motorola Defy desktop charger. Early estimates rate battery life at 480 minutes of talk time and up to 10 days on standby.
One of the key features is the Corning Gorilla® Glass Display, which not only provides gorgeous visuals, but which offers built-in protection against bumps, drops, and scratches. The plastic casing is also dustproof, water-resistant, and scratch-resistant, so while most users will opt for a Motorola Defy case, you could get by without one. The built-in 5 MP camera with LED/supercap flash includes automatic focus, digital zoom, and image optimization. It seems that the Defy will ship with the Android Éclair 2.1 OS - with enhanced MOTOBLUR, which will get to in a moment - but an eventual update will allow users to upgrade to 2.2 Froyo.
So that brings us to what Motoblur is, and what it means for it to be enhanced. The new MotoBlur upgrade is something that sets the phone apart from its predecessors and peers. Motoblur is a Motorola-specific UI replacement for Android, and this is the reason why Defy will ship with 2.1; Motorola will need additional time to bring the UI up to their speed.
The directive of MotoBlur is to provide users quicker access to email and social networks from the home screen. You’ll also have access to seven independently customizable home screen profiles. Enhanced indicates that you have access to the Blur services, which is optional, and which provides you with online backup and restore of all things social networking.

A furniture maker currently produces 100 tables per week and sells them for a profit. She is considering expanding her operation in order to make more tables. Should she expand?
