Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:Your Weight-Loss Foods: Add Some Spice
By James Beckerman, M.D. / February 24, 2011
While there is no single "magic spice bullet" that will guarantee significant weight loss, incorporating different seasonings into your food may help you lose weight.
There are lots of great reasons to add spices to your food:
They make food taste more interesting.
Some people find it challenging to switch from salty, fried foods to healthier food because of a perception that healthier food just won't taste as good. By adding oregano, pepper and garlic, for example, you can fool your taste buds into thinking they are experiencing a higher-calorie treat.
They can reduce your appetite.
Cooking with garlic and spicy chilies is a great way to make your first serving more satisfying and keep you from reaching for seconds.
They can increase your metabolic rate.
Capsaicin (found in chilies) and capsiate (found in paprika and red peppers) can increase your metabolism by as much as 10% for short periods of time.
Using these ingredients in your cooking will help you enjoy your food more while eating less of it. In restaurants, asking your server to make your food spicy is easy enough, and the chef usually appreciates the opportunity to prepare a more authentic-tasting dish.
Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck - Fox News. Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights.
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians.
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!

Steven Davies becomes first British cricket athlete to come out as gay
Rick Chandler / Feb 28, 2011 / MSNBC
And a cricketer shall lead them? Steven Davies, who at 24 is one of Europe's rising stars and has practically his entire career ahead of him, announced to the world today that he's gay. Davies, who plays for Surrey, said in an interview with London's Daily Telegraph that he could no longer lie about his sexuality.
"I'm comfortable with who I am -- and happy to say who I am in public," Davies said.
And he said he hoped his decision would help other young gay people to have the confidence to follow in his footsteps.
"This is the right time for me I feel it is right to be out in the open about my sexuality. If more people do it, the more acceptable it will become. That must be a good thing."
"To speak out is a massive relief for me, but if I can just help one person to deal with their sexuality then that's all I care about."
Davies said that he finally decided to reveal his secret after being called up for the Ashes tour to Australia (which England won). He said that being away from home for more than a month with the English team would have been uncomfortable without everyone knowing the truth.
He said he received wonderful support from his team-mates, especially fellow wicketkeeper Matt Prior and captain, Andrew Strauss, and now looks forward to getting on with, what he hopes will be, a long and successful career at the highest level.
Far from being a Don't Ask Don't Tell situation in team sports, especially in the U.S., coming out as gay can be more likely described as "Don't tell and we won't ask you to get the hell out." Europe has a long way to go before more gay athletes like Davies feel comfortable coming out: It was just three months ago that not a single British pro soccer player or agent would agree to appear in an anti-homophobia PSA commercial.
And in the U.S., just the crime of not being draped with women 24 hours a day could get a pro athlete accused of being gay (See: Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Mike Piazza, Jeff Garcia). Infamous homophobic rants by Tim Hardaway, Larry Johnson and John Rocker more or less represent where we are on the issue. It all makes what Davies did even more remarkable and courageous.
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
