Trying something different today.

I came to this blog last and it’s taking a creative beating as I am coming up dry on unique ideas to inspire the healthful eating our bodies desire and crave.

Thanks to a cool little tool called Zemanta I have been given a starting point.  A small amount of inspiration for which to base my literary vomit upon. Vomit, only because I can imagine how my gut would feel after this delicacy.

The image to the right was suggested by Zemanta as a possible topic for blog use.  It was the only suggestion that had to do with food and therefore easily seemed most appropriate for Diet Grader.

Now with a long hard look at the bacon burger. I can almost smell it from here. and then of course there is no missing of the ice cream dessert… I can’t say what’s really on my mind…  Oh yes I can and I need to hurry… I’m hungry.  It’s almost 5pm as I write.  I’ve kept up on small snacks and shouldn’t be hungry, but my mind and the imaginary smells are taking over.

I’d love to say bad, bad, bad, but I figure I really don’t have to.  What I can say is that when i’m done eating a masterpiece similar to the scary foods pictured, the Diet Grader program will plainly point out the obvious error of my ways, but because it cares it will also suggest items to help me make up where I am still lacking (not likely calories) and steer suggestions away from those that I have gone over the limit on with this fine meal.

We all must be able to enjoy a not so perfect meal from time to time, but we also must have a realistic picture of what is lacking and what is in extreme excess so that we can make up and ease the negative effects over time.  Diet Grader, I find works perfectly for this and can do the same for you in your diet monitoring and meal planning.

You have a can’t pass it up even though I should meal like this?

Paleolithic Diet – Paleo Diet »

The modern dietary regimen known as the Paleolithic diet (abbreviated paleo diet or paleodiet), also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various human species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic—a period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture.

There are so many different “Diets” out there… well, we’ve all been confused by the many claims in the past .

An example of just one diet is the Caveman Diet.  The beauty of the diet grader, is that no matter what “diet” you choose to follow, Diet Grader can tell you how it stacks up against modern scientific research.  The next generation release of Diet Grader will not only tell you how it stacks up to current science, but will also tell you how you are doing based on the popular diet of your choice.

Jump into Diet Grader now and see how your Paleo Diet stacks up. :-)

Eat This Not That Quiz »

Written: January 1, 2010 By: grader In: Fit Resources

One positive with operating more programs than just Diet Grader is that I’m often introduced to many cool new programs.  Right now I’m starting a review on my personal blog of a company called MyClassPro.

Promotional content tends to get more conversational in a Blog.

Knowing that to be true I quickly jumped into their blog.  While there I found an interesting video quiz that might be fun for those who travel through the Diet Grader site.

I’m not so certain that the quiz result is the “perfect” way to start each day, but based on the choices offered it seems to be making sense.

Optimum Natural Health Remedies »

Written: December 7, 2009 By: grader In: Holistic

Choice is always yours

Remedies for maintaining optimum health are suggested to us from many directions. It can be very difficult to know who to believe or where to turn for honest and appropriate advice.

Finding optimum natural health remedies can be even more difficult as the natural health marketplace has fewer governing evaluation procedures for testing and/or restricting manufacturer claims.

Are dietary supplements different from foods and drugs?

Although dietary supplements are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as foods, they are regulated differently from other foods and from drugs. Whether a product is classified as a dietary supplement, conventional food, or drug is based on its intended use. Most often, classification as a dietary supplement is determined by the information that the manufacturer provides on the product label or in accompanying literature, although many food and dietary supplement product labels do not include this information.

We believe there is value in many natural health remedies, but we also suggest you carefully evaluate claims made and consult your doctor when there is any chance that a natural health remedy may interfer with the purposes of a previously prescribed medication. We also suggest you evaluate the source of your information and rely on appropriately trained natural health professionals for advice.

Feel free to share your experiences, pro and con, with the natural health remedies you’ve tried in the past.
