10 week smartphone weight loss tracking app Noom Coach works!

I have been using this app for 10 weeks and my attention is not lagging, the pounds are comming off smoothly at prescribed rate of one or two per week. I don't feel hungry with my six meal/snacks per day. I recommend the free version of Noom Coach for Android or iPhone. The notifications keep me thinking of portion control.  The long term plan keeps me realistic. This is do-able.  Steve

...Trial retention was 40/43 (93%) in the smartphone group, 19/42 (55%) in the website group, and 20/43 (53%) in the diary group at 6 months. ..

Radiation impact in North America- What to eat?

Past 1000 km from the source the danger is low. The fact that any radiation can be detected in Canada is more a testament to the sensitivity of scientific equipment than to any real danger. So listen to your mother and eat your veggies; you will get your minerals and iodine for free. Here is the list. Steve.

an anti-radiation diet should focus on the following foods:

· Miso soup
· Spirulina, chlorella and the algaes (kelp, etc.)
· Brassica vegetables and high beta carotene vegetables
· Beans and lentils
· Potassium, calcium and mineral rich foods
· High nucleotide content foods to assist in cellular repair including spirulina, chlorella, algae, yeast, sardines, liver, anchovies and mackerel
· cod liver oil and olive oil
· Avoid sugars and sweets and wheat
· A good multivitamin/multimineral supplement

Yet another benefit of the sea vegetables rarely discussed is their high mineral content, which is a bonus in the case of radioactive exposure. Consuming natural iodine, such as in the seaweeds, helps prevent the uptake of iodine-131 while iron inhibits the absorption of plutonium-238 and plutonium-239. Vitamin B-12 inhibits cobalt-60 uptake (used in nuclear medicine), zinc inhibits zinc-65 uptake and sulfur is preventative for sulfur-35 (a product of nuclear reactors) incorporation by the body.


Radioactive iodine is short-lived, with a half-life of just eight days, and in any case was expected to dissipate quickly in the ocean. It does not tend to accumulate in shellfish.

Could the Basque kitchens be even more creative?


More culinary news of the Basque kind. Steve.

La investigación culinaria, las técnicas y los estilos innovadores pueden aplicarse a la vida cotidiana. La experimentación en los fogones y surgida del trabajo común de científicos y cocineros puede tener como resultado en los estantes de los supermercados y en las casas de los usuarios, productos de calidad y nutritivos (sin lugar para las grasas trans y con reducción de sal o potenciadores de sabor, por ejemplo).
