you are what you eat

Regarding losing weight, there are some clips on the BBC website from the Truth about Food programme which might help:

How to be slim

* Is my metabolism to blame for my weight?
* Does eating more calcium lead to weight gain?
* Can keeping a track of what we eat make a difference?
* Is there a healthy, pain-free way to lose weight?
* Does portion size affect how much we eat?
* Which type of food is the most filling?
* Can water help you lose weight?

Yes, the programme style is irritating and dumbed down, but there are some useful nuggets of info and tips, eg spinach as a good source of lutein for preventing age-related macular degeneration and general eye-health.

Our friend 'Dr Poo' Mckeith got a bit of a pasting in this article from Mondays paper (apparently the Advertising Standards Agency ruled that she cannot use the word Dr in her marketing after a journalist successfully registered his dead cat for the same PHD qualification at the college where she got hers and the ASA decided to investigate!

A dead cat with the same PHD - :rotfl: that's so funny.

With her knowledge, I bet McKeith could work towards an authentic doctorate without too much difficulty if she wanted to . She lives and breathes this stuff.
