Jim Karas and his Cardio-Free Diet...Will it work? by Paula Neal Mooney Update: I was just thinking about Jim Karas and his The Cardio-Free Diet the other day at the gym. So today I see that people are searching hot and heavy for Jim Karas and his The Cardio-Free Diet for Lord knows whatever reason, therefore I'm updating this piece. While I'm all for building muscle -- after all, Dr. Oz did just remind us that muscle burns 50% more calories on our bods -- I still feel compelled to get my 30 minutes of cardio in before hand on the treadmill. I've figured out that I just need to break a sweat. I need the benefits that go along with running, walking, or StairMastering. But I am all about doing the weight machines more, too. Bigger, Stronger, Faster...Juicing? Lately I've wanted to build muscle so much. I figure since I'm not juicing like the guys (and dolls?) in the Bigger, Stronger, Faster documentary -- I'm good to go with not putting on too much muscle. O...

Yes, most of us have debt and bills, but whatever we all give will go a long way. 4 - Buy a "Genocide Olympics...

Yesterday I was in pure bliss as my kids and I either biked, jogged or sat like Queen Elizabeth II in a double jog stroller (guess which one) down the lovely 1.6 miles plus of boardwalk trail that is Fort Island, a protected marsh in Ohio. I was soaking up the unusually bright sun and temps that felt like 70 degrees or warmer and loving it...that is, till I got home and watched the DVD version of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It and learned why it's been so spankin' warm lately. You can save all those jokes about old stiff Al Gore , this film version of An Inconvenient Truth is his slide show display alive with the true passion of what the man was born to do. I'm still glad I didn't vote for Gore in 2000 -- still glad ol' W was in office during 9/11 (not so much during Hurricane Katrina) -- but this movie shows a side of Gore that is both funny, dead serious and so vulnerable as he talks a...
