This Just In

I am an average Joe who decided to take his health more seriously. I was overweight almost to the point of obese. I didn't go on a diet--I changed how I ate for all times. My last physical, which included blood work, indicated I was in exceptional health in all categories measured.

One of the changes I did not make was my coffee habit. I have always had a fondness for black coffee, especially dark roast. If you follow my author's blog, you'll know I'm pretty passionate about it. The media goes back and forth with reports of whether or not coffee is healthy for you. Honestly, I don't think it's a health drink, per se. Is it bad for you? I guess if it keeps you up at night, then yes. If you add a bunch of goop in it like on and in lattes and whatever-pacino concoctions, then I have my doubts.

Anyway, according to news reports, it's healthy for you again! So, yeah! Here's the news from ABC (the American network, not the Australian one). Don't like coffee? What is wrong with you? Just kidding! If you don't drink coffee, that's fine.

Just be careful, coffee drinkers! You have to still change how you eat and get physical activity. You can't be a couch potato, drink coffee, and say you're going to be healthy. Well, you can say it, but it won't be true. Like goop in your coffee? Just don't do it all the time. When you have one, get the small. Also, read Eat This, Not That for more information concerning coffee. Go back to my first post of this blog if you want a link to the book.

The following is an NBC report concerning the recent coffee news:

New You University--Power Breakfast

Okay! I goofed. Last post I gave the wrong information on a teaspoon of sugar. There's 4 grams of sugar in a teaspoon of granulated sugar and 15 calories per teaspoon. So, big oops! So, adding three-quarters of a teaspoon of sugar to a serving of Shredded Wheat would only give you 3 grams of added sugar. This would only be 11.25 calories of sugar. So, yeah, big oops! With that out of the way, I want to share my go to power breakfast . A bowl of oatmeal made from old-fashioned oats. This is the one breakfast that will last me longer than anything else I might eat. Not any kind of eggs, but oatmeal. Quick oats may be nutritionally equivalent and an okay substitute, but old-fashioned oats will keep me going until lunchtime. Quick oats will last for a shorter time for me. I get hungrier sooner. Oats in general are one healthy grain. Filled with fiber, both soluble and insoluble, and a rather high level of protein, consuming oats is one of the best things people can eat. They...

Here's an interesting take on snacks. It's from Cracked. I miss the days of Cracked Magazine and its mascot Sylvester P. Smythe.  You never see the Cracked mascot anymore. Of course, these days you never know if a celebrity you know and trust, such as Sylvester P. Smythe, could be caught up in a scandal. I hope not. Anyway, the guy in the video is not Sylvester P. Smythe, but goes by the name "Roger Horton." Roger Horton, as far as I know, has nothing to do with the doughnut and coffee chain "Tim Horton's."
