IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE LATE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION BUT…. WTF! DUDE. A SOY PROTEIN PANCAKE, FAT FREE CHEESE? THOSE THINGS ARE LOADED WITH CARBS , THAT IS WHY YOU ARE FEELING HUNGRY…. LESS THAN 20 CARBS PER DAY WILL KEEP YOU WITHOUT CRAVINGS.

Per getting money at an ATM, Bank of America has ATM’s in the Forum Shops (one near Casa Fuente) that are real B of A machines. IE, no extra fees.

Also, I believe it is Wells Fargo that has a similar machine in Harrah’s Carnival Court.

Hope this helps,

It’s too complex to get into in an answer to a comment. Perhaps I should post on it at length.

“If you feed a diet that’s very high fat to a human, a lot of humans become obese and they develop type 2 diabetes. And the dogs don’t,” Davis said. “There is no such thing as an obese Type 2 diabetic sled dog despite the fact that they’re eating a diet that should produce that.”

This guy should know better studying dogs that were bred to get our food…alas what a poor soul.

The depth of their dumbth is astounding.

There’s another Dean Ornish post on the Tierney blog.

In case you weren’t aware, HDL are the garbage trucks blah blah blah.

Cheers!

Just in case you haven’t read it already, here is my response to the HDL-as-garbage-truck nonsense.

Regarding casinos, I understand your reservations, but I do go to Las Vegas once a year or so. My favorite game is craps, and if you know the right bets, the house take is only 0.5%. You can play for hours and be up or down a small amount.

So why would that be worth spending hours doing ? It’s just fascinating seeing all the people’s reactions. It’s wild and fun. It’s a truly random game based on dice rolls, which means that there are streaks of up and down rolls which can last a long time.

The players are also truly random, this is what I like about it. There can be 20 players around the table, an Iowa farmer and his wife with John Deere hats, a couple of hip-hop guys with their girlfriends who have a lot of bling-bling. A rich couple from Hong Kong with a few million to blow. A doctor and his wife in for a convention. A couple of college guys down to their last ten bucks hoping to make enough to pay for their room. An elderly couple celebrating their 50th anniversary, a newlywed couple having their honeymoon.

So you have this completely random diverse group playing a completely random game and all thoughts and emotions are shared on the roll of the dice. The emotion is thick, when a streak goes in the player’s favor the crowd goes wild. When it goes bad everyone commiserates.

It is a really fun experience. Maybe it’s like the hunts of the Paleolithic days, some days are lucky, some days aren’t!

I was fascinated by the discussion of magnesium deficiency and supplementation. (That finally convinced me to order a copy of PPLP!). Anyway, if there’s anything new on magnesium since that book, perhaps you could write a future blog entry on Mg?

Thanks!

God put in my destiny a The Learning Channel show last night about super-fat people who have to eat 40,000 calories a day in order to stay alive. That show served me as a warning to control myself and stay away from compulsive eating. And indeed, anybody could gain a lot of weight with the food addictions. We must stay away from those people who celebrate every thing with food.
