I don't ever hear dancing mentioned on your show as part of a fitness routine. With the right music you can get a great cardio w/o. Ever try a couple hours of Swing dancing??? And it doesn't feel like a w/o, it just feels fun! I try to keep a piece of paper (folded to make it stiff) and pen in my pocket when I hike to write down all my great ideas. It really helps my productivity in the rest of my life. And lastly, I long ago discovered that cooking lots of BASIC ingredients to eat day after day works great because you can take the same ingredients and vary the preparation (spices, heated vs cold, and maybe adding/subtracting components) so you don't get bored. My decades long habit of this has kept my diet healthy, inexpensive and full of "real" food. Unfortunately it's SO good I tend to eat too much - but that's another issue!

I could never eat aspartame, splenda or any other artificial sweetener... they are evil... I also think that they are detrimental to weight loss... there have been studies that show that these chemicals can make it harder for people to control their intake and are most likely to gain weight... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080210183902.htm Another problem that I see with the chemical sugar substitutes are that they make things so sweet that you lose the ability too taste the natural sweetness of real foods... I believe that whole, natural foods are best for us. Real sugar is not bad for you, it is eating too much sugar that is bad...

They both make me break out in a rash :( They can't be good! I'm sticking to organic cane sugar & stevia :) moderation is the key, as you guys said!

I started listening way back at episode 3, and I have been subscribed ever since. Your show really helps keep me on track. I normally find the facts you present to be scientifically accurate. One thing from this episode: Russ said that Stevia may be a better option since it is a natural product. This idea of "natural products are better" is a common fallacy. In a graduate level course I took on natural products chemistry our professor pointed out that many plants contain unsafe substances, and the idea that "natural products must be better" really has no basis. Each chemical (even herbs are made up of thousands of chemicals) should be evaluated on its own merit to decide on how healthy or safe it is. Also, one must evaluate the quantity of a given substance that an average person might consume. So, just because Stevia is natural/non-synthetic does not *necessarily* mean it is safer or a more healthy. I hesitate to take many herbs/functional foods/dietary supplements/etc because these products have not undergone significant testing for safety or efficacy. That being said, I think Stevia is a perfectly acceptable product and would not hesitate to use it. Thanks guys, keep up the good work! Hey guys, love the show.
