The GI Diet Blog and Board

I don’t tend to add a lot of video to this blog, so embedding this beauty is a nice change.
Before I comment, have a view yourself.

Now, let me be the first to say, I’ve tried Zantac. Yeah, it works. And no, I’m getting absolutely NOTHING to endorse their product.

In fact, I’m pretty ticked off. This commercial is sending the EXACT opposite message. Although I have a friend with some serious heartburn issues, I know that many people will see this commercial and think… hmm, ok, I should try this. Yeah, it works..

But, wouldn’t a CHANGE in diet be more effective? The user who uploaded this commercial on Youtube said it best: “Helps relieve heartburn so you can eat more junk.”

He’s exactly right.

Since I’ve lived more on fresh veggies and lean protein sources such as chicken, fish, and some meats, my heartburn troubles are *over*. Oddly enough, the only time I ever get heartburn nowadays, is when I order the odd pizza for a treat. Isn’t that interesting.

Zantac makers: Is this really the proper way to promote your product?

Pork Tenderloin is atkins/low carb friendly for those of us who struggle with feeling satisfied. I still struggle, but there’s one meat for me that seems to fill me up, and that’s pork. Tenderloin is the BEST part of the pig, and this is one such recipe that’s sure to make pork a flavourful source of protein for your dinner along with a side of salad or asparagus.

I’ve thought seriously about getting a massage solution for the home. Although I’ve had great experiences with spas and getting a proper massage, it’s not always the most convenient, in time or expense. I saw the Human Touch HT 7450 Zero Gravity Massage Chair online and fell in love with it. This chair definitely appeals to my geek side to say the least. Now, fear not about the ticket price, because the human touch website has other solutions for those of us thinking about our aching muscles after a workout. And that’s when it hit me: I don’t go to spa or get a massage all that often but if I had unlimited access to a massage at home, wouldn’t I jump at that chance?

The answer is of course yes. My brother has a similar product that is placed over an ergonomic office chair. During a visit I’d go to his gym once in a while, come home and the first thing I’d do is sit in that chair. In my mind, it’s not hard to imagine a chair that’s dedicated for this purpose, like the Human Touch HT 7450 Zero Gravity Massage Chair. Besides, isn’t viewing it kinda like taking your dream car for a test drive? It was fun to look at, before looking at other parts of the site for more affordable solutions for my comfort.

Obituary
James Barber, 84
Cooking-show host was known as the Urban Peasant

I learned a lot about cooking from my father and James Barber. Dad and I used to watch ‘The Urban Peasant’ together, and it was thanks to his humour and ability to simplify recipes on screen that gave me confidence in later years to start cooking more for myself. Jame’s cooking style was very laid back, often telling the audience that if there’s an ingredient not available in the kitchen to go ahead and try something else. It’s a style I’ve adopted since.

I recall James Barber using many fresh vegetables, usually stuff that was locally grown. His principles and cooking concepts definitely help shape my cooking styles and how I apply them today while living a low GI lifestyle.

I was especially warmed by the description of his passing:

“He was found at the dining room table, where he had been reading a cookbook.
A pot of chicken soup was simmering on the stove. “

When it comes to Christmas time, I’ve always enjoyed gifts under the tree that I could actually *use*. My favorite gifts was any kind of camping gadget possible. In fact my favorite gift I remember receiving as a gift from my parents was binoculars. And let’s not forget New Year’s Resolutions coming up where one vows to live a more active lifestyle. I suppose that’s why I like getting those active gift the week before I decide to commit to any resolutions I might make. In anticipation of renewed commitment to being more active, I’m in the market for a new pair of sunglasses for use when I’m out hiking or kayaking next spring.
