    Atkins Article

    Dr Atkins... Atkins said his diet "has steak and eggs and lobster, and it's so easy to stay on. There's no reason to go off of it. I've been on it for 36 years.".......His widow admits he did have blockage of the heart arteries. Dr Nathan Pritikin... In 1957, when he was 40...

    Housing inventory is low?

    IMO the inventory is quite low, and that is one factor keeping housing strong. One of the things keeping inventory low is people realize while they can command a very high price for their existing home, any potential home they may consider (providing they want to stay in the area) will be priced...

    Alternative Indicator to ADX,+DMI,-DMI

    You might want to check out Jurik Research's DMI equivalent called DMX. Much smoother (so fewer false signals) very little lag. The attachment is a .gif image from their web site. The entire link with text is here... http://www.jurikres.com/catalog/ms_dmx.htm#top Good luck

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    The plot thickens? This is reminding me of a Halloween Ball when at the end of the evening every one takes off their masks to reveal themselves....OMG ! YOU! lol

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    Agreed this is an extreme diet, but many people that follow it have extreme situations. People that have congestive heart failure, are not good candidates for open heart surgery or have had repeated procedures done to them and have run out of leg veins to use for future by-pass operations would...

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    My take on the web site was this....a concerned group of doctors, nutritionists, and cardiologists seeing the fallout from a very popular diet that has swept the world. The Atkins diet through their books and positive press is a household name. Rather than "setting up a straw man" I think they...

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    2. Cardiovascular disease. Typical high-protein diets are extremely high in dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. The effect of such diets on serum cholesterol concentrations is a matter of ongoing research. In a small study, individuals following high-protein diets against medical advice...

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    I would not expect to look like the body building model anytime soon unless you are prepared to spend 14 hours a day in the gym and take creatine and steriods. The future is not bright for those that do that sort of thing, think heart valve replacment like Gov Schwarzenegger, or perhaps various...

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    I am not a degreed expert in nutrition but I wanted to paste a couple of on topic comments from a web site that I follow (and glean recipes from) on the subject of carbs. (my favorite carb, Nor'Wester Dunkel Weizen Unfiltered Wheat Beer is NOT something I plan to cut back on though! :-) Comments...

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    I don't view my balanced and nutritious way of eating a "diet" like Atkins followers do. It is a life style trade off I am willing to make so that I can live longer. It is also not a "temporary" diet to reach a target goal, it is a lifelong way of taking care of myself. We all see so many...

    Sweet tooth or fat tooth?

    Franklin...your posts were sounding pretty good until you posted the recipes. Pancakes, sausage, cheese in the Chili? This is how teenagers eat, as they can get away with it. This is not "health food" or a healthy way to eat no matter how you slice it. It will not "improve your blood chemistry"...

    Housing problem

    It is all about money supply and the aggressive way Greenspan is pumping liquidity like never before in the history of the world. Greenspan will not allow the normal shakeout period in these post bubble times because he wants to preserve his legacy. He is indeed creating another bubble through...

    Housing problem

    I agree with absolutely everything you say. But I also think it is possible to time a real estate purchase in these high volatility areas of the country and end up with a good entry rather than chosing to live other areas of the country. I love South Dakota, but I am not sure I want to live...

    What is the Federal Reserve's rationale for such low rates?

    Genius? Wrong conclusion. This economy is a sinking turd. Everyone knows if you can pump enough air (liquidity) into a sinking turd you can get a floater....but it is still a turd. It is all an illusion. Business spending is nil, the whole economy is people doing re-fi mania on their homes...

    Housing problem

    Perhaps this is true on a nationwide basis because of the price stability of areas like the mentioned South Dakota, but housing markets when viewed on a more local area can and do crash. Metro areas like Boston, San Diego, Los Angeles, Dallas, and many other population centers have...

    Trading is not a legitimate business!

    Canadians who have to travel to the U.S. to have medical procedures done in a semblance of a timely fashion are in a sense double paying for already covered procedures. The very high tax rates Canadians pay are supposed to cover the same procedures they have to come to the U.S. and pay...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    When the investor said he was looking for a "hobby", that is a nice-nice way of saying he would have control and be watching everything going on. Basically, you got yourself a partner, watching your ass becomes his new life and "hobby". You are not "open to all arrangements". You want...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Not actually very "funny" at all. People with deep pockets that loan venture capitol take quite a big risk. There is a very big chance they will never see their money again despite your claims. They will want points, a big APR, maybe a deed to your home and Beemer, and want to be your partner in...

    Trading is not a legitimate business!

    I did the same thing Wally, and the more I read threads on health care on this site I am more and more thankful. There are really two classes of people, those with health care and those without.
