Neesha D Fitness Guru Posts: 297 Neesha D I'm at student, working to get a Masters in Computer Science. I like to read, write, run, climb, and swim. Although I haven't climbed much recently. I'm currently training for a half marathon on Aug. 17th.	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 17:29 Just read about an interesting study over at msnbc.msn.com which can be linked to directly here. Most interesting part is the "industry response" section at the bottom. Note: I'm not saying I agree/disagree with what's written, so don't jump all over me. I had never heard before that eating something sweet may prepare your body to receive large amounts of calories, but it's an interesting idea. Would be neat if they did some further studies on that concept.
Angie H Fitness Guru Posts: 718 Angie H I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 18:08 I've read similar things over the past years, but it's not tied to "thinking" you're about to eat more calories. Researchers are studying the complex interactions between the artificial sweeteners and the synthesis of hormones within your body. Long story short, some of the compounds produced by digested artificial sweeteners can increase inflammation, which causes a corresponding rise in insulin levels.
Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2094 Dave Nicholson I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy... diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :) I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming! I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some? Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks. I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August. Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.	# Posted: 11 Feb 2008 19:53 Interesting read, would be curious to see what further research shows... Also, something I've been hoping to see an article about - BMI - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23072865/
