Since it’s come up, here’s some basic articles about post-workout nutrition. I usually use 2:1 carbs:protein as my guide. If I’m feeling a little sluggish during my workout, I might add the water to my shake powder and start sipping right away. Otherwise, I wait until I’m done lifting. However, my current caloric intake dictates what I can have, so I’m not always having the optimal post-workout shake because I simply don’t have the calories available. I use Ultra Fuel and unflavored Whey. Whey is definitely best for post-WO nutrition as it’s a fast-digesting protein.

Instead of using Ultra Fuel, you could also use pure dextrose, which I’ve been told you can get at a place that sells homebrewing supplies. Does this mean if you lift weights, you MUST consume carbs after exercise? Of course not. One can generally lose fat just fine without adding carbs to their workout. Newbies to weight training can even lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, the lucky. However, at one point gains will drop off, and if one is interested in increasing muscle mass and assisting recovery, the most optimal way is simple carbs + protein.

After gaining a place in the Hall of Fame of the annual Clean and Green contest nationwide, Baguio is seeking the same place in the annual contest in nutrition. This was learned from Dr. Florence Reyes, city health officer who said that the city is now prepared for the annual visit and program assessment of the national nutrition council. Reyes said the nutrition evaluation team will be presented with the prepared documentary of Baguio’s nutrition program, random interview and survey of nutrition program beneficiaries and other scheduled activities. “In the event that we can be a hall of famer in the regional level, we will again aspire to the higher level of the annual award. We do this not only for the honor and prestige of Baguio but to deliver our best social services to our countrymen”, said Reyes.

I went to the Mead Johnson web spot and I found this: I tried them once–my father had them and he’s diabetic. He used it in case he got stuck somewhere and couldn’t eat a regular meal. But in my opinion–they are like a glorified candy bar! I don’t see how you could make a habit out of eating them alll the time–they’re good in an emergency but I think that’s it. Choice dm is a convenient, delicious nutrition bar that has been clinically proven to help you manage your blood sugar level. Choice dm Nutrition Bars contain a unique, slow-release carbohydrate source called resistant starch that results in less rise in blood glucose. Choice dm Nutrition Bars have been shown in a clinical study to cause less elevation of blood sugar when compared to other tested snack bars.

The only nutritionally complete bars designed specifically for people with diabetes, Choice dm Nutrition Bars provide 24 essential vitamins and minerals — as well as added antioxidants and fiber — for flexibility in diabetes meal planning. Choice dm Nutrition Bars are low in sodium and cholesterol, offering good nutrition and great taste. Available in Peanutty Chocolate and Fudge Brownie flavored bars, each Choice dm Bar provides 140 Calories and 17 grams of carbohydrate, and is equal to one starch and one fat exchange. Choice dm Bars can be enjoyed as a between-meal or bedtime snack; before, during, or after exercise; as part of a meal; or when experiencing low blood sugar levels. Like the Choice dm Beverage, Choice dm Bars provide flexibility in meal planning for individualized treatment goals and lifestyles.

Diet also plays a role in the development of other health conditions, which can reduce the quality of life and contribute to premature death. The Food and Nutrition Service plans to develop and launch a progressive, five-year nutrition education and promotion campaign that will convey science-based, behavior-focused nutrition messages about healthy eating and physical activity. These messages shall be formulated based on the most recent edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid.

The primary target audience for this campaign is preschool and school-aged (age 2 to 18 years) children including those from culturally and ethnically diverse backgrounds, participating or eligible to participate in FNS nutrition assistance programs and their caregivers. Caregivers refers to parents or guardians, child care providers, after school providers, and teachers. Educational materials, public service announcements, an FNS mascot, central themes, a slogan, key messages and strategies that promote healthy eating and physical activity will be tested using focus groups and semi-structured short interviews.

The focus groups will provide information about the acceptability of materials and products during the developmental process and on final products. Semi-structured short interviews will be conducted with FNS program recipients, staff, stakeholders and consumer volunteers at the State and local level to determine acceptability and efficacy of materials and products developed. Interviews will be integrated into other program activities as appropriate.

Affected Public: Recipients of FNS nutrition education activities, State and local staff administering FNS programs, FNS stakeholders and consumers. Estimated number of respondents: For the focus groups, approximately 100 respondents. Approximately 100 respondents will be asked to participate in the short semi-structured interviews. Estimated Time Per Response: Focus groups of staff, stakeholders and consumers will average no longer than 3 hours. Semi-structured interviews of these same groups will average no longer than 15 minutes duration. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 325 hours.

Whereas older individuals who receive proper nutrition tend to live longer, healthier lives; Whereas older individuals who receive meals through the nutrition programs carried out under the Older Americans Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.) have better nutrition than older individuals who do not participate in the programs; Whereas through the programs 123,000,000 meals were served to approximately 2,500,000 older individuals in congregate settings, and 119,000,000 meals were served to approximately 989,000 homebound older individuals in 1995;

Whereas older individuals who participate in congregate nutrition programs carried out under the Act benefit not only from meals, but also from social interaction with their peers, which has a positive influence on their mental health; Whereas every dollar provided for nutrition services under the Older Americans Act of 1965 is supplemented by $1.70 from State, local, tribal, and other Federal funds; Whereas home-delivered meals provided under the Act are an important part of every community’s home and community based long-term care program to assist older individuals to remain independent in their homes; Whereas the home-delivered meals represent a lifeline to many vulnerable older individuals who are not able to shop and prepare meals for themselves;

Whereas the nutrition programs carried out under the Act successfully target the older individuals who are in greatest need and most vulnerable in the community; and Whereas the nutrition programs have assisted millions of older individuals beginning with the enactment of Public Law 92-258, which established the first Federal nutrition program for older individuals, and continuing throughout the 25-year history of the programs: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Senate– (1) celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first amendment to the Older Americans Act of 1965 to establish a nutrition program for older individuals, and (2) recognizes that nutrition programs carried out under the Older Americans Act of 1965 continuously have made an invaluable contribution to the well-being of older individuals.

Everyone appeared to know how to feed their cats or the cats knew how to feed themselves. Come to think of it, I never have seen an old barn cat with food allergies, neither have I ever seen a feral cat with food allergies. Why some of these feral and barn cats are tougher than my x mother-in-law and she’s been dead 40 years. There was nothing to know about feline nutrition in the “good old days”; cats ate what they were designed to eat — protein and fat from animal sources. Now so called feline “nutritionists” spout their profound knowledge of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, supplements and non-allergenic formulae. Yet I feel in many ways, somewhere along the line they got their formulae mixed up.

The food industry has done to feline nutrition what lawyers have done to the law – complicated it beyond understanding. You gotta be a rocket scientiest just to understand the damn pet food labels! Dry Matter, Metabolizable Energy.This is not to say that our feline friends don’t require adequate nutrition. Of course they do! But it certainly does not mean that the nutritionists have all the answers, for that matter I don’t either. BUT OUR FELINE FRIENDS DO! I have never seen a cat have an allergic reaction to eating a mouse or a bird, or a squirrel or insects or even the occasional gold fish. Not that we should be feeding our friends a menu consisting of the local inhabitants, but I think you get the idea.Of course the industry nutritionists are great at solving nutrition problems!

They should be – they’re the ones who created them in the first place! All these “new and improved”, “Specially Formulated” diets are nothing but cheap imitations of the cat’s natural diet. Meat is too expensive these days, and the industry wants to keep their profit margin high so they use “protein” for “protein” without regard for the biological value or metabolizable energy of that protein source *for the cat.* The cheaper the better… Grass, for example, has higher metabolizable energy for the horse than the cat — but the “numbers” sure look good…. (even though they’re useless to the cat).
