Is Patagonia on your bookshelf? Mention outdoor clothing company Patagonia and what comes to mind? Jackets! Puffy ones, fleece ones, waterproof ones -- beloved, long-lasting, favorite ones. How about books? That's right. Patagonia has been publishing since 2007. But their little-known secret is out, as Patagonia Books are now available in digital form. Readers can now find all 12 titles in digital form at Patagonia.com, Amazon, BN.com, and iTunes. eBooks do right by the environment: same great stories, less environmental harm. That's why Patagonia has joined the mobile movement. Great news for Patagonia-clad readers, since print books don't really travel well. (Remember Cheryl Strayed in Wild , torching chapters on the trail?) “Not only do eBooks have less environmental impact, they are also more portable,” says Patagonia Books Director Karla Olson. “We know that our audience is often on the move, and the convenience of having these titles ava

Drink Pop, Get Fat

Image
Pop has a lot of calories, the sugary kind, not the diet of course. The diet is low calorie, but who knows what you're really putting into your body, right? Anyway, back to sugary pop, or soda. http://www.shape.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-strategies/how-lose-10-pounds-safely?page=3 If you drink one can of pop per day, that's around 160 calories extra per day. Over the course of a week, that's more than 800 calories your ingesting in liquid, which has no nutritional value, and doesn't fill you up. Double that amount, and you have the caloric intake for an average sized woman for the whole day! Do yourself a favor, if you're trying to lose weight, and you drink sugary pop, then try to cut it out as soon as possible. The carbonation, the calories, and the sugar are all wreaking havoc on your weight, your bones, and your physique. http://www.shape.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-strategies/how-lose-10-pounds-safely?page=3  You can read about my tips here.

SHOPPING FOR A WEIGHT LOSS SPA? SEVEN DOS, DON’TS, TIPS AND TRICKS Ever since The Oaks at Ojai opened in 1977, its mantra has been to help its guests kick start a healthy lifestyle. A balance of physical exercise, emotional well being and incorporating a sensible nutrition plan, affords guests the opportunity to lose weight and enjoy meals without feeling hungry. So what should guests seeking a weight loss spa look for? Here, tips from The Oaks at Ojai: Buffet Schmuffet : A sure fire way NOT to lose weight is to be offered an all you can eat buffet at every meal. Willpower and self control are usually big culprits to overeating and when you have an entire smorgasbord in front of you, it makes it that much harder to adhere to calorie restrictions. Stay away from spas that offer unlimited dining options. The Oaks at Ojai offers a structured, portion-controlled 1,000 calorie-a-day menu that includes s
