You know you're living in 2008 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.
7. You make phone calls from home; you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.
8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11o'clock news.
11. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
12. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.
13. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60)years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
14. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
15. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
16. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
17. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
18. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
19. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't #9 on this list.

I'm really shocked by what I just learned but I'm surely going to do something about it!

My friend Greg Alario - a fitness trainer, just shared with me an eye opening free report which knocked my socks off:
http://www.realdietsecrets.com/blog/2008_03_01_archive.html

I told him that I really needed his help - not just for me but for others in the same situation. More on that in a minute, but first - let me explain...

According to scientific studies and the Body Mass Index, at 6'3 and 252 lbs, I'm considered to be obese and at risk for serious problems such as diabetes, heart attacks & strokes and even cancer.

With two young kids, I have a responsibility to them to take better care of my health. At least now I know what I have to do.

The sad part is, many people are at serious risk of health complications and don't even know it. In fact 2 out 3 people in the US are overweight and an even more disturbing 17% of all children are now overweight.

Individuals who are obese have a 10-50% increased risk of death from all causes, especially heart disease. Obesity is associated with about 112,000 excess deaths per year in the U.S. population relative to healthy weight individuals.

But there is good news. Did you know that you can improve your health dramatically by losing as little as 10 to 20 pounds?

What is your ideal weight? See this eye opening free report:
http://realdietsecrets.com/risks.zip

Personally, my goal is to conservatively lose 15 pounds before summer and I'll tell you how I'm going to do it...

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Here's What We're Going To Do
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

*"We're looking for 500 people who are serious about losing weight!*

My buddy Greg Alario is the founder of Optimal Performance Fitness and over the past 25 years he has helped many famous clients reach their weightloss goals including Julia Roberts, Brooke Shields, Ken Norton, and Michelle Pfeiffer just to name a few.

On top of that, he's a former chef and a graduate of the California Culinary Academy. I keep telling him that he's the best kept secret in the diet and fitness industry but he gets embarrassed when I say stuff like that.

Up until today I've been trying to convince Greg to get more involved with helping people online. The only problem is, he's reluctant and a little uncomfortable being in the spotlight. He's an old-school type of guy who is not really into the Internet and prefers to work with people one on one instead of being the center of attention.

But today I finally convinced him to help me and others drop some pounds in time for summer. I told him that we really needed him.

So I'm excited to say that, starting next month, we're going to launch a new website dedicated to our mission of helping people lose weight and improve their health. I'm personally investing thousands of dollars into this movement to make this the best weightloss site on the Net.

We're looking for 500 exclusive members to join us on our mission to lose weight. This will be for serious people who really want to take action and change their life.

Below are just a few of the many things I hope we'll accomplish together:

- Shed excess pounds, achieve healthier weights, and reduce the risk of life-threatening diseases
- Unite as a community and pool our strengths and resources to overcome the health problems that afflict us
- Learn more about our bodies and what we can do to live healthier, longer lives
- Teach our youth the importance of making healthy lifestyle decisions that will benefit them for years to come

That's all I can say for now. You're going to hear much more about this over the next couple of weeks.

Here's what you should do now:

1) If you're interested in getting more information, make sure you get on our diet email list at www.realdietsecrets.com if you haven't already.

2) Please post your comments on this blog: http://www.realdietsecrets.com/blog/2008_03_01_archive.html

Until Next Time... Be Well.

We've just added a new video section to FoodPals. See the "Video" link on the top menu bar.

I created a video to show how it works:

www.foodpals.com/videos/view_25/

This short video shows you how to add a video to FoodPals. You can add a video from YouTube, Google Video or any other site as long as you have the embed code. The video explains what that is.

The videos you share don't have to necessarily be cooking related. They can be anything you want to show (except x-rated or distasteful videos which will be deleted).

We currently don't allow uploading videos to our server.  If you want us to see your home videos, add them to YouTube first and then you can embed them on FoodPals.

Please join me in sharing some great videos on the site.

Useful Information on one of the deadliest diseases of our time: CANCER

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.  When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.  

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than  10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,
food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed,  hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.  

 CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

   a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.  By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply  to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made   with Aspartame and it is harmful.  A better  natural substitute would be Manuka honey  or molasses but only in very small  amounts.  Table salt has a chemical added  to make it white in colour.  Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea  salt.  

   b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract.   Cancer feeds on mucus.  By cutting off  milk and substituting with unsweetened  soya milk cancer cells are being starved.  

   c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid  environment.   A meat-based diet is acidic  and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken  rather than beef or pork.  Meat also  contains livestock antibiotics, growth  hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people  with cancer.

 d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and  juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little  fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.  About 20% can be from  cooked food including beans. Fresh  vegetable juices provide live enzymes that  are easily absorbed and reach down to  cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish  and enhance growth of healthy cells.  To  obtain live enzymes for building healthy  cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice  (most vegetables including bean sprouts)  and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day.  Enzymes are destroyed at  temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees   C). 

  e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which  have high caffeine.  Green tea is a better  alternative and has cancer-fighting  properties.  Water-best to drink purified  water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins a nd heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level.  Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
