WEDNESDAY, Jan. 12 (HealthDayNews) -- Americans need to consume fewer calories and exercise more to maintain a healthy weight, according to new dietary guidelines released Wednesday by the federal government.
"Let's face it. Every American is looking for a pill. It's not going to happen," U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said at the Washington, D.C., news conference announcing the guidelines.

To be quite honest I don't miss eating the food I use to eat.. Since I'm 34, I don't want a heart attack when I'm 40.. I made a choice. If people had common sense there would be no need for a food pyramid at all.

In other news, after a year long federal study of stock markets, the report issued stated that the best strategy for investing in stocks is to buy low and sell high.I know. I remember hearing a story about a guy who made a fortune selling a book on how to make a fortune in investments. The book sold for $10. It was a two page book.
Page one said, "Buy Low."
Page two said, "Sell High."

Thanks, I didn't think it was enough. I'll try to be more insensitive next time.

I eat whatever I want, do some yard work, and I weigh EXACTLY what I did as a college kid 38 years ago. Eggs, bacon, whole milk, steak, prime rib w/mashed pototoes & gravy, shrimp, lobster, crab, artichokes in drawn butter, salt, Snickers Bars and other assorted chocolates ...Doc. Atkins! I thought you were dead!
Congrats: you are in the minority in this country, although I can't help but wonder about your body fat percentage and your BMI. Have a friend from H.S. who is as you are; eats what he wants, doesn't gain weight... for the rest of us mortals, the reduction in hormone production as we age and the slowing metabolism require some changes in habits if we do not want to join the ever widening pudge ranks.

I'm doing the same -- riding 50 - 60 miles a weekend. Although it's only been a few months, it's amazing what it will do for you !
To: Not_Who_U_Think
Keep on peddling. You will be amazed what it does for you. I ran hundreds and hundreds of miles in the Army, but my legs and cardio were never this good. I am in much better shape now than when I was in the Army. I went for a run one day, just two miles. I wore my heart rate monitor. As fast as I could run and maintain it, knees hurting like heck, my heart rate was around 85 to 95 BPM. On the bike, I can push that up to around 155 most of the time and on big hill climbs I hit 170-175 BPM. My heart is racing like a NASCAR vehicle, but it is good.
I recently took a physical for a new insurance policy. I had to fast overnight, and at 8 a.m. the next morning the nurse came to the house to take all the vitals. My sitting, at rest heart rate was 46! She had to take it again. She said she had never taken someone's heart rate at that low a rate that was not sick or something. I have had it at 43 BPM also. Before, when I was fat, it was about 80 or 85 BPM. Just shows how hard your heart is working when you are overweight! You can test yours by taking your heart rate when you wake up, before you start moving around. See what your sitting heart rate is. Then make sure you use a heart rate monitor when you ride and watch that baby go crazy as you pound the hills! Good luck. Watch for fenders!!! ;^)
