Fit Happens – Winter 2023

Winter 2023 “I feel fluffy”: Conflating a body composition analysis with an emotion Most of us old enough remember Julie Andrews’ version of “I feel pretty”, by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.

REAL News – April 2021

April 2021 Why Exercise Doesn’t Burn Calories as Expected:  Compensation We all grew up hearing a mile walk or jog burns 100 calories; that you have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat; that you can’t exercise weight off…WHAT?

Artificial Sweeteners: Diet or Die?

Let me state from the get-go that I am not a biochemistry guru or even a registered dietician, so any comments below regarding the safety of artificial sweeteners (AS) such as saccharin, aspartame, sucralose or their ilk comes from an angle few in my profession are willing to take.

Is it Calorie-Restriction, Calorie-Reduction…or Weight Loss?

So here’s a title of an article bound to catch your attention, in Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter: “Calorie Restriction May Promote Cognitive Function.” For those of us in our middle, or higher, years (Disclaimer: I’m now 66, and feel in my middle years though most studies would put in me in the elder category),Read More

What is ‘Old’ and How Can One Procrastinate Aging?

The answer to the title question, “What is ‘Old’ and How Can One Procrastinate Aging”, is a timeless one. It’s as old as cognition itself. For the next step after old is dead and mankind has been trying to make sense of that once he and she realized he and she existed beyond the bodilyRead More
