Pig Out on Low-Cal Foods
By Joel Marion, CISSN, NSCA-CPT / Jan 2, 2011
 
Would you like to lose weight and eat more? You can. The secret lies in choosing high-volume, low-calorie foods. Take pasta, for example: Spaghetti and other pastas pack a considerable caloric punch (220 calories per cup, and that doesn't even include the sauce). But a cup of green beans totals only 27 calories, half of which are fiber. If you do the math, you'd have to consume more than 8 cups of green beans to equal the calorie content of a single cup of pasta.

Research has shown that total volume, not calories, determines how full someone feels after a meal. By eating foods with a high-volume-to-low-calorie ratio -- such as fruits, vegetables, salads, and lean proteins -- you can consume fewer calories while upping your overall satisfaction with the meals.

Conversely, foods like pastas, pizza, fast food, bagels, breads, and potatoes all cram a ton of calories into a small space. So cut back on these high-calorie dishes and pick lower-calorie, higher-volume foods. You'll fill your belly without filling out your waistline!

This group is called "Peckers Pics."  The English -  slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues.  In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!"  Whereas, who is the model that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit?"  Warning: This may stoke you!

Sarah Palin fails to lead on gay equality
By Jonathan Capehart / The Washington Post / Jan 4, 2011
 
Sarah Palin is getting some mileage out of retweeting a pro-don't ask, don't tell repeal message from Tammy Bruce. "I'm focused on economic issues, and you may have noticed I was being quiet about DADT because that's not our most pressing issue," the openly gay radio host tweeted Monday. "...But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. [Enough] already -- the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed."

So, I guess we're supposed to presume that Palin supports the repeal of the ban on gay men and lesbians from serving openly in the military. And I suppose by extension we should presume that she is down with gay equality. But it's easy to support something that has already happened and costs you little to speak out about -- even if it is in the form a retweet. DADT was repealed with 65 votes in the Senate on Dec. 22.

Palin had a chance to take a stand last November when her daughter Willow apparently unleashed the f-bomb (the one that rhymes with drag) on someone criticizing the premier of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" on Facebook. Bristol Palin seemed to step up with an apology of sorts. But the former governor, reality television star and self-proclaimed Mama Grizzly remained mute. This raises lots of questions about what constitutes accepted banter in the Palins' Wasilla manse.

Leadership is about staking out positions when it's difficult, not just when it's easy. Once again, it seems, Palin has taken the easy route.
