Seven-Year Switch

Rabbi Haim Ovadia May 18, 2006

The benefits of the seven-year cycle are immeasurable. First, the land recovers the trace minerals it needs without using ammonium-nitrate-based fertilizers, which endangers the aquatic ecosystems. Second, the social structure is corrected every seven years; the differences between the classes are eroded and a sense of unity and togetherness takes over. Lastly, the seventh year provides an opportunity to stop the insane race for provisions, power and glory. It allows people to reconnect to the precious gifts of their family and their inner self.

Sonoma Plan Adds Flavor to Dull Diets

Soriya Daniels March 9, 2006

Dr. Connie Guttersen is on a mission to make America smaller. Well, perhaps not geographically, but at least to shrink the size of the average American.
Scientific studies have proven that weight-loss diets that are based on moderate amounts of the healthiest types of fats, such as olive oil, fish and nuts, are more effective long-term than traditional low-fat diets. And since the low-fat diet myth was busted recently with the publication of \”The Nurses\’ Health Study II,\” the public is struggling to determine what role fat should play in everyday meals.

Scales of Injustice

Abby Ellin February 16, 2006

After 25 years of dieting, this is what I know: There\’s more to me than the sum of my parts, no matter how much they weigh.

Fit L.A. – The Birthday Party Crasher: Dr. Atkins

Judy Gruen January 19, 2006

The timing couldn\’t have been worse. I was happily toting a batch of homemade bread and a broccoli quiche to a pot-luck birthday party, eager for some good fun and good eats. But I had barely crossed the threshold, when Sandy, the hostess and erstwhile birthday girl, announced that she had lost another 10 pounds on the Atkins plan.

Say ‘Hi’ to a College Before You Pick One

Charlotte Hildebrand June 9, 2005

Every year, the college tour is a rite of passage for students and parents alike, but for some it becomes an occupation. I wanted to make it simple, that is, wait until after my son was accepted, but before we had to give notification to colleges, a two-week period between April 15 and May 1. Had I known that our three-day, three-state, three-college tour was going to be so hectic I might have planned otherwise. I worried: Was this too much pressure, in too little time, to make such an important decision? What was the best approach?

Although there were no right or wrong answers, this rite of passage was harder than I thought to get right: for every decision, another better one could have been made. Of course, I get to do it all over again in four years when my daughter goes to college.

Read All About It

Teresa Strasser February 3, 2005

There\’s nothing inherently wrong with reading celebrity gossip magazines. If you can do it in moderation, I applaud you (and please let me know if Lindsay Lohan\’s dad ever gets his act together). In my case, however, I was a problem reader and I had to put the magazines down.

Heart to Heart With ‘South Beach’ Doc

Soriya Daniels November 25, 2004

Carbohydrate-filled days are over. Almost everyone is on the Atkins or Zone Diet. That is unless they\’ve deserted them for The South Beach Diet, which proposes eating the \”right carbs\” and the \”right fats\” along with protein, giving dieters the best of both worlds.

Seattle — Kosher Mecca of Northwest

David J. Litvak November 4, 2004

In the past, the dynamic and innovative Pacific Northwestern city of Seattle has been associated with Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, The Pike Street Market, The Space Needle and grunge bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana.

Friends Find Real Flavor of Europe

Matthew Rosenbaum July 15, 2004

Like thousands of others college-age Americans, my three friends and I were backpacking through Europe. We came straight from our year of study at yeshivas in Israel, and our travels had one important difference: We were eating kosher.

Frank McCourt, Let Our People Eat

Steve Getzug April 15, 2004

Consider the hot dog.

For some of us, it\’s nature\’s perfect processed food — with bun or plain, grilled or steamed, sliced up and cooked with beans or lathered with spicy brown mustard, sweet onions and pickle relish. But always enjoyed best at the ballpark — especially at Dodger Stadium.

Or so they tell us.

If you keep kosher and you\’re a Dodger fan, enjoying a hot dog in Chavez Ravine is about as remote as right field, about as unlikely as a championship pennant or of even harboring thoughts of baseball in October in Los Angeles. And that\’s too bad.
