Links of the week
- Cleaning a Dirty Sponge Only Helps Its Worst Bacteria, Study Says – Ewwww. I use a plastic brush rather than a sponge, but not sure that’s better. (NY Times)
- Plant-based diet? Sure, but first understand what that really means. – This was very refreshing to read. I’ve never considered “plant-based” to mean vegetarian or vegan, especially after reading Michael Pollan’s excellent book In Defense of Food, but the propagandist have tried to co-opt the term. Let’s take it back. (Washington Post)
- Can You Be Resistant to Weight Loss? – One of the smartest conversations I’ve listened to about the subject from two of my favorite experts, Yoni Freedhoff and Monica Reinagel. (Nutrition Diva)
- Flattening The ‘Mummy Tummy’ With 1 Exercise, 10 Minutes A Day – I had never heard of diastasis recti (separation of your abdominal muscles that makes you look forever pregnant) until my BFF, a pilates instructor, gave me some exercise tips when I got pregnant (hint: DO NOT do crunches), but it affects 30-60% of pregnant women. Fortunately there are exercises you can do both during and after pregnancy that can protect and/or repair your abs. (NPR)
- Why Americans Lead the World in Food Waste – People love to harp on the need to produce more food to feed a growing population. But when you realize we’re throwing out 50% of the food we produce, it gives you a more nuanced perspective. (The Atlantic)
- Why Failure Is a Useful Kitchen Tool – I love this so much. Failure is the only way to become a great cook. (Lifehacker)
- Is Your Metabolism to Blame? – Real talk. (Nutrition Diva)
- Exercise as a Weight-Loss Strategy – Small pilot study, but still interesting. Different exercises impact hunger differently. Likely this depends on you as a person as well. The only way to know what works for you is to try out different things and see how your body responds. (NY Times)
- Gnawing Questions: Is Sugar From Fruit The Same As Sugar From Candy? – In case you didn’t know. (NPR)
- BULGUR STUFFED EGGPLANTS WITH TAMARIND, CURRANTS & PINE NUTS – It’s eggplant season! Love this unique take on one of my favorite summer veggies (I used to hate eggplants btw. Expand your palette, it’s way more fun.) (The Full Helping)
