Love it!
Love it!
OMG Ash and Erin I love your stories.
Josh said something I thought was very observant yesterday. I don't know how we got to talking about it but he said "Sometimes when you and daddy talk you talk over each other, you shouldn't do that." I said well sometimes you do that too, when you're angry or you really want to say something." He said "Yeah but I'm a kid! You guys shouldn't copy me. You should act like grown ups." LOL
I can't wait til N is bigger, these stories have me rolling
I love these stories!
Ky saying, "Or did we" really got me rolling.
I just picked up these plasma cars off craigslist yesterday for $20 apiece. They are SO cool! We love them. Even I have taken a few rides!
Story. Today Savana and Kai wanted to ride them. I had four other children here so I said I was going to set a timer and right away Savana started practically hyperventilating that it was new and special and she didn't want to share it. So I simply told her to put it away and she did. The children were begging her to let them use it but she wouldn't. So they were all taking turn on Kai's. One of the little girls is 8 and she said to me, "Aren't you going to make her share?" I said, no but that I trusted her and I knew that she would change her mind.
Well, sure enough the children were sort of giving Savana the cold shoulder, if you will. Not being rude or mean at all but just not really engaging her. She came up to me and said she felt funny, like the kids were mad at her. I told her that I think she may have hurt their feelings because they were very excited to try the new toys. That they are her friends and that friends usually expect friends to share. She didn't go right away but after a few moments she went in and got her bike out and shared beautifully, even giving up her turn at the end so Kai could have one more turn before lunch since he started to pitch a fit.
The 8 year old asked me how I knew that Savana would decide to share. I told her, "I trust her. I trust all of you." She got the biggest smile on her face it was so cute. And she couldn't get it off her mind because she asked me again later why didn't I make Savana share and I told her that if I had made her share she wouldn't have felt how good it feels, she would have only felt angry that I made her do it. She said, "I wonder if my mom knows about that?"

Aww, Bridget, that is so sweet.

Erin-that was hysterical!! I could just hear the conversation going as I as reading it and I was lmao!!! The end was the best, "...or did we?" bwahahahaha!!!
I confess I came to this thread all pissed off. Immediately after work Rich, Sydney, Conner & I met at our house to do some work. Again, we didn't get accomplished everything we wanted to, but we did some. We have a game plan and I'm starting to feel good about where we're going.
I just got home after 8:30 pm and Bobbie and Jessica didn't do anything in the house even though I asked them to clean. Now, they're on summer vacation and they're 16 and 18 years old! I'm so bent I can't even think straight. And yet Bobbie sits on the computer and I'm tellin ya I wanna march right over there and yank the cord right out of the wall.
Chrissy, maybe you should. She needs to wake up a little.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
well I did. I went and yanked the dsl box out and put it in my car. I said that they could have internet back after they picked up. In less than 20 minutes, everything was picked up. Good thing, or I wouldn't be posting now
We've had a good shouting match though. I'm being 'unreasonable' and she fully intends to sleep till 2 o'clock and there's nothing we can do about it.
College cannot come fast enough. College cannot come fast enough. College cannot come fast enough.
I don't care if they do it all in 10 minutes, I just want it done. I texted them each with a couple things they have to do today and I said that 1-they have to do it before 5:30 (I won't be home till 6) and 2 don't fight with your sisters while cleaning and 3 if you do fight, do NOT call me about it.
I feel like I'm going to be grumpy all day because I'm going to have this on my mind...both dreading a phone call with them all screaming at each other that the other isn't doing what she's supposed to, or that I'll come home and none of it will be done and we'll have to have another big go-round tonight.
Oh-and I got so frazzled with the girls that I nearly forgot that we've noticed the front basement wall is bowing in on our house. I'm terrified we've gotten ourselves into a money pit.
The good news is the mortgage is less than $400/month, so if it needs more than we're willing/capable of soaking into it it won't bankrupt us to just pay for it and buy somewhere else to live. It would suck, but it could be worse. We're planning on meeting with contractors next spring and I'm going to see what they say about it and how much it will cost to fix. We really want to build an addition, but we'll have to see how much the whole thing would cost. If it's going to be too much, we're just going to sell it as is. Or try to.
I'm back from vacation now, and feel like a million buckaroos. I confess I'm intimidated by the thought of reading back on all the posts I missed, so I hope it's ok if I just jump in mid-stream here without doing all my homework.
I already posted about this on FB, but my great-aunt is fine afterall, and I am even more annoyed at my sister for making me hysterical for no good reason. I have no idea where she'd heard "hospice", but I guess I should have known my sister only adheres slightly to the truth in any situation.
Bridget, I am jealous of your plasma cars, though. There's this one kindergym nearby (closer to Lydia than me) that has a whole huge room full of those things where kids can ride them around and around. They look like so much fun, but Bodhi was always too little. I want to come over and play with you.
I was in Milwaukee for an hour yesterday at the airport. I waved at Bridget and Jennifer in my head as my plane took off.
chrissy, I hope you work something out with Bobbie. DH had to pay rent to his dad once he was 18. If he didn't have the money, he paid it off in chores. I'm considering a similar arrangement with my own kids when they get old enough.
LOL, at the mental waving! I thought I was weird for doing things like that!
I keep hearing how good the plasma cars are; I might have to order one. I bet Travis would love one. He's a proper little motorhead!
I just ate my supper and now I want something sweet; that's such a bad habit...I wonder how I can stop my body from craving sugar after I eat?
Welcome back Myles!
I also do mental waves whenever I go somewhere and I think about someone who lives close by. Sometimes I will even say "hi so-and-so" from an airport or something. I am going to Columbus OH next week for DH's family reunion. I don't know anyone in the vicinity so I guess no mental waves needed.
Hi! I do mental waves too. Though I'm quite a ways from Milwaukee now....a good 4-4.5 hours from the airport. Except most of my family is near there. Now if anyone is ever near Minneapolis.......
Yuck it's raining out and I was thinking of the grocery store after work. But I really don't care much for going in the rain. Plus I'm wearing sandals. And I do have stuff I could make for dinner tonight at home....
Welcome back Myles! (LOL whenever I try to type Myles I type Myself)
I was thinking about us meeting up and wondering if you have ever been to Patriot Place in Foxboro. It might be a neat place to meet up next time you're in the area, if it's nice weather. It's an outdoor shopping place at Foxboro Stadium, where the Patriots play.
Welcome back Myles! I'm so glad your aunt wasn't as bad off as you were led to believe, but man how awful to be told that
I don't really want to charge my kids rent. I never agreed with that practice and I hope I'm never in the position to insist on it. I won't be taken advantage of, though, so if she really did plan on doing nothing while mooching off us, I'd definitely kick her out.
The good news is the house was really amazingly clean when I got home from work tonight. I was very pleased and told them they did a wonderful job.
I'm sorry you had to worry so much.

The names of the two suspects arrested in connection with the kidnapping of Ronnie Gammage, the Longview man missing since December 4, have been released.
27-year-old, Ronnie Joe Gammage's body was recovered sometime Wednesday in Upshur County.
According to JP Precinct 1 B.H. Jameson, Sarah Haslam, 20, and 19-year-old Daniel Paul Jones were arrested and booked into the Gregg County Jail on aggravated kidnapping charges.
Daniel Jones and Sara Haslam stood stoically and listened as charges were read against them today; both were charged with capital murder in the death of Ronnie Gammage.
Officer Kristie Brian said, "we were able to obtain video of some person of interest. We followed up with interviews of two of them yesterday and consequently they were arrested for aggravated kidnapping and did lead us to the body of Ronnie Gammage."
According to Haslam's probable cause affadavit, it started with the suspects talking Gammage into writing them a check.
"Ronnie Gammage apparently gave the suspects a check somewhere around December 4th. They attempted to cash it; that's where the video was obtained from them cashing the check," said Brian.
The group reportedly met Gammage at the Waffle House in Longview.
"Gammage knew one of the suspects, he had at least met her on a prior occasion," Brian told us.
"When he came outside apparently his truck tires was slashed and the suspects came to his aid. unfortunately, thats not what happened in this case."
They drove him to a location off of Tryon Road near a construction site, where they took him out and beat him, then realizing there was a lot of traffic and they might be seen. They put him back in the car and drove him to Upshur County.
Brian said they were afraid they were going to be seen, so they forced him back into the car.
Gammage was driven deep into a wooded area in Upshur County. The last few moments of his life were spent on a 25 mile drive to Martin Road, where he was again beaten.
Ronnie Joe Gammage, 27, went missing on December 4. His body was recovered sometime Wednesday in Upshur County.

I finally decided to come back and post on APA. I am nt sure what kept me away.
I missed everyone.
I confess that lately....I have been getting in more and more religious arguments and it sucks. I don't start them....it's just when someone asks I answer and they don't like it. I admit these "discussions" are quite lame.
I confess there is a guy at my church who I recognize but I cannot figure out how I know him. I think I even know his name. I was hoping by writing about it I might jog my own memory. LOL
I confess I told DH last night I have no desire for anything and he said "I think that's the saddest thing I've ever heard." He on the other hand desires things he cannot have. I'm not sure which is worse!
I confess I love my dad...
He's been dealing with a gout attack, and he started taking aleve yesterday. He told my mom earlier that its really been helping, hes not in nearly as much pain today, and she said "Well I did ask them to pray for you at church last night"
lol.. My dad answered back "that doesn't do anything" then grinned and laughed
If I decide to "intentionally miscarry" or abort, no matter, it's my ****ed business and not the law's. I confess this made me FURIOUS today, too. Anyone see the bit about the mother who was forceably hospitalized because she refused bedrest and then later miscarried in the hospital? Our country is crazy, and it's all god's fault.
I confess that Kai is, like, potty trained. I can't believe this! He's a natural. He just goes, whenever he has to go! He also wants no help washing his hands when he's finished so he puts his feet on the handles to the cabinet under the sink, leans over, turns on the water, gets soap, washed, dries. This kid amazes me.
I posted my diapers on craigslist today. I am THRILLED to be done washing diapers.
That said, I really need to get on this PT business. I plan on buying a new potty seat (the old one is just a toy, apparently) that actually sits on the toilet. Hopefully that will help!
Yeah, I'm just worried about everything getting peed on again. LOL I do need to try it again though.
I came on to share this story--We bought some plastic eggs today. Josh decided to fill them with Skittles. I asked him to please not lose the eggs (you know, so we won't find rotten candy months from now). So he put them all in the fridge LOL
Kai's been wearing pull ups to bed. I cloth diapered him so he was pissed whenever I tried to put a diaper on him for bed. He is so adamant that he does not wear diapers anymore. Because of the whole cloth thing, the pull ups are something different to him so he's okay with those just for night time but he wants his real underwear back the second he wakes up.
I cringe using them after all this time in only cloth but whatever it takes for him to keep on this path.

Are you at all empathetic about the storage problem I'm having? I had to put that on the blog just for my future memories, and also to let certain people know (ahem! Dad! MIL!) that we already have many of the books they're thinking about giving us. I love books, and I'm responsible for a good many of them, and I get bored and want new ones all the time, but part of me is a little dismayed whenever we get books as gifts just because I don't know what I'll do with them. I get a lot at used bookstores, and my parents can't stop buying books either, and then random people they know send last year's calendar with pictures of birds or a catalog full of weird people wearing bright clothing. I also find one book I like on Amazon and order three other books (for the price of four!) to go with it.Originally Posted by shutterbird
Speaking of potty-training, Claire is doing wonderfully, and again, Ronin is not doing as well. I can go an entire day without accidents if I put him on the potty every half-hour, but if I'm late at all he'll casually announce "I went in my pay-unts." I don't know where he learned to pronounce pants with two syllables. None of us do it. He knows that he's supposed to use the potty, that pants are not the appropriate potty place, and can obviously hold it since he goes almost every time I put him on the potty and because he's done so well in the past. He's just lost all initiative.
I'm really glad Kai has taken to potty-training so well. Bridget, does he see other kids close to his age sitting on the potty? I keep hearing that children train more easily if they see their peers doing it. That would be an advantage with a daycare or preschool setting.
There is so much Easter stuff in the stores! I stopped by to get bread and ended up with a bag of jellybeans too.
Our craft yesterday was marbleized paper with oil and food coloring. The paper turned out really neat, but the twins were playing hide-and-seek and only really stopped to pay attention when I was mixing the different colors. So it was pretty much a craft I did on my own.
I'm procrastinating getting back to painting, but will go in a few minutes. I'm trying to get all the stuff done tonight that I had planned on doing while dh was gone, and that includes touching up all the gouges and spots on the trim and baseboards. It's taken many many nights after the kids are in bed of sanding and cleaning and priming with two coats and then the actual paint.
than pullups came on the market and the next two kids didn't potty train until well after 3. IMO, they are way too much like diapers. They make it too easy for the kid to just go and not have stop playing. I'm just NOT a fan of them at all and DH and I planned to never buy them (had we gotten pg easily, we could have a toddler by now and in the beginning we talked about our kid and parenting him/her ALL the time).
That said, eventually he will potty train...I mean there aren't too many 6 year old wearing diapers!
I admire those that are crafty! I'm so NOT crafty...though we have a brand new Micheals and when I go in there, I almost wish I was a scrapper because that section is so cool!
My sister got all the art genes...I even used to have her to my biology drawings when I was 15 and she was only 10. LOL
I can crochet...that is it. I know one stitch and am REALLY good at it but had to finish a king blanket I had been working on for 10 years (so hot that I could only do it during the winter!). I just finished it so now maybe I can learn some more stitches.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I confess I bought all the stuff to make my manager a diaper cake for her baby shower, which I received my invite to today...
The shower is the saturday that my sister will be in town, so I am not sure how long I will go for.... maybe even just drop off the diaper cake and leave... but I kind of want to go to meet some people around my age.
LOL about pants and syllables.
I just went on Netflix and it usually gives me "suggestions" based on what I've watched before. Tonight it gave me a check box for me to select movies with certain characteristics. Haven't seen that before. So just to see what it came up with I checked a few and noticed when I checked "romantic" it greyed out "political." So I unchecked "romantic" and "political" came back. Then I checked "political" and "romantic" greyed out. I didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive! Apparently they are, at least in movies!

Done painting! Yay! I also painted an end table that the kids use to stand on and look out the window. It was a free trashy piece of furniture that was chipped fake wood. Now it is a blissful off-white, same as our trim. I'm debating about painting some animal outlines or ABCs on it, or getting stickers or colored paper and then sealing those into place on the lower shelf, or if I should just leave it pristine.
I just found one movie via google that is romantic and political, but it's indie: Mass Romantic. Other than that, it looks like Netflix is pretty much right on.
I am almost always impressed by recommendations based on previous purchases. However, I confess I am annoyed at the recommendations that keep coming up for me based on the Kindle free books I downloaded that turned out to be faith fiction without my knowledge or consent. I just went in today and removed those books from my list, and realized I had six stealth faith books on there. I got smarter over time, and picked up on it much sooner as time went on, but it doesn't know I deleted some of them without reading them.
Speaking of recommendations, does anyone listen to Pandora? I have it on my phone, and my new car stereo can play it through my speakers by Bluetooth, and it is so cool! If you've never heard of it, it is one result of the Music Genome Project. You type in a song or an artist you're in the mood for, and it will play other songs that are similar. I put in Sigur Rós the first time I listened to it, and found several other artists that didn't sound exactly the same, but evoked the same feelings I had when I listened to Sigur Rós. I have been listening to artists and music I hadn't heard in years. I felt like Moody Blues the other day, and I got a lot of other songs with orchestral backgrounds and strong melodies. Anyway, if you haven't tried it yet, you should. The free computer version has some ads, but the phone app is commercial-free.
I hear you with the Kindle rec's, Lydia. I've gotten annoyed enough to not even bother purchasing something (via the Kindle) unless I know what it is. On the Amazon website, you can look at the categories that it's under. If it's listed as Faith or Christianity, I usually just skip right over.
BTW, I just checked the Bestsellers section and they have a ton of (free) newbies.

Unconventional Diagnoses
By Burton Goldberg
Alternative medicine is best known for preventing health problems, but it can also enable us to detect degenerative disease well before it becomes a serious threat. Part of its advantage stems from the tendency of alternative practitioners to evaluate the whole body to look for causes of disease. I don't think my heart doctor would have died of cancer or my cancer doctor died of heart disease if they had been able to see systemic imbalances rather than focusing on one particular body part that was diseased. Finding out about such an imbalance early on might well have given each a fighting chance of reversing his illness.
Alternative diagnostic methods also offer a degree of sensitivity you won't often find in conventional medicine, which relies heavily on standard blood workups that don't always pick up on subtle problems. An example of this sensitivity appears in the work of physician Wolf-Dieter Kessler, who uses electromagnetic frequency to detect problems like hormonal imbalances well ahead of conventional methods.
In our industrialized world we all "dance close to the fire," as a friend of mine, physician Garry Gordon, likes to say. The fire is a devastating health condition and the dance is the combination of our sedentary lifestyle, toxic environment, and poor diets. With knowledge from new diagnostic mechanisms, however, we can learn when and how to move away from the fire.
I believe that if we make use of these new tools, we can drastically reduce our chances of facing a diagnosis of any number of advanced degenerative diseases.
With that in mind, I've asked four alternative physicians to tell me what they think are among the most promising new diagnostic methods available today. While more research is warranted on all of them, I believe they represent exciting new ways to apprehend serious illnesses early enough to head them off with natural and non-invasive methods.
Garry Gordon
Blood Viscosity Test
Garry Gordon, who practices in Payson, Arizona, reports that he has made exceptional progress in preventing stroke and heart attack by focusing on the viscosity of blood rather than on the arteries that contain it. Measuring viscosity accurately, however, is surprisingly tricky, and Gordon is one of the few who has an effective protocol that employs natural techniques.
Unlike most fluids, blood is thin while moving but thick when it slows—and blood should flow like wine, not ketchup! Why are we so prone to ketchup-like blood? Some have speculated that thousand of years of violent human activity have selectively bred our species to be geared toward surviving bodily injury (by rapid control of bleeding) rather than toward just surviving into a peaceful and healthy old age. The fight-or-flight stress response triggers the flow of the insoluble protein called fibrin, and fibrin responds to injury by causing blood coagulation or clotting. So in modern humans under stress, whether physical or emotional, the mec...

I love "at sea" days aboard a ship. For the Sea of Cortez cruise, I decided against Bingo, pasta cooking, digital workshop, a movie, or more. My goal was to do nothing on those four days but relax, read, write, and listen or dance to music. Each day was similar to the first "at sea" day.

Few animals evoke Colorado's rugged and unforgiving mountains like the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Yet the vertical terrain that keeps sheep safe from predators also limits opportunities for Coloradans to view and appreciate Colorado's state animal. A happy exception for wildlife watchers is Georgetown, where the Town of Georgetown, the Georgetown Trust and Gateway Visitor Center, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) are finalizing preparations for the 8th Annual Georgetown Bighorn Sheep Festival.

The weather held out for racing Saturday at the Belle Isle Grand Prix. Fox 2 spotted several members of the Detroit Red Wings in the crowd.
Click on the video player to watch Jennifer Hammond's report.
British driver Mike Conway dominated the first of two races at the Grand Prix, finishing nearly 13 seconds ahead of defending series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay. Conway's margin of victory set a race record, beating the 12.2-second cushion 1999 winner Dario Franchitti had over Paul Tracy, and making team owner Dale Coyne seem as if he's the smartest guy in the Motor City. Conway's only other IndyCar win was at Long Beach in 2011.
Justin Wilson finished third and was thrilled for Conway, his Dale Coyne Racing teammate, for winning just four days after finalizing a deal to race in Detroit. Scott Dixon finished fourth and Helio Castroneves was fifth, putting him No. 1 in IndyCar points just ahead of Hunter-Reay. Indy 500 champion Tony Kanaan was 13th after starting 19th in the 25-car field. Marco Andretti, who put his famous family atop the standings for the first time in more than a decade earlier in the week, finished 20th and made at least one other driver very angry. Sebastian Saavedra hit a tire barrier on lap 33 after Andretti ran him into a wall.
AJ Allmendinger, and the rest of the drivers who didn't win, will have a chance to bounce back in Sunday's race on the 2.36-mile Belle Isle street course that held up much better than it did last year. Dixon won last year's Detroit Grand Prix marred by pot holes and grooves that stopped the race for a little more than 2 hours and shortened the 90-lap race to 70. To avoid embarrassment and create more opportunities to pass, Roger Penske's Michigan-based company and Chevrolet invested nearly $2 million to improve and reconfigure the track.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

The glycemic diet has been become a popular way to lose weight. What is it? Well the glycemic index measures carbohydrates and that helps control your blood sugar levels. At first this diet was used to help diabetics but it is useful for weight loss as well. Here's the run down according to Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD:
The glycemic index measures carbohydrates. The index is a list of how blood sugar levels rise after you eat a small portion of a carbohydrate food.
In general, all whole fruits and vegetables are healthy carbs, even if some are a little higher in natural sugars than others.
When trying to find the best quality carbs using the food label, Harvard researcher Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, recommends looking for carbs that are the least processed, whole grain, and contain plenty of fiber.
Another approach, Mozaffarian says, is to look at the ratio of total carbohydrates to dietary fiber per serving. This figure includes sugars, and when the ratio is 10:1 or more, keep looking until you find one that is less than 5:1.
If that is too complicated, try following the guidance from My Plate, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's dietary guidelines, which will help you make healthier choices. That includes filling half your plate with vegetables and fruits, and the other half with grains and proteins.
"It is better to focus on eating an overall healthier diet (fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, healthy fats, lean protein, low-fat dairy, nuts), increase fiber intake, and decrease processed foods," Warshaw says.
All carbohydrates increase blood sugar levels, but the effect varies widely. For example, a glass of orange juice will cause a much quicker rise in blood sugar than a bowl of oatmeal, which takes longer because of the type of carbohydrate and amount of fiber.
The response is affected by many factors, including the quantity of food, the amount and type of carbohydrate, the cooking method, degree of processing, and more.
On the glycemic index scale, each food is assigned an index number from 1-100, with 100 as the reference score for pure glucose. Typically, foods are rated high (greater than 70), moderate (56-69), or low (less than 55).
Quality Carbs Promote Weight Loss
Using the glycemic index (GI) in diet plans is based on the concept that low-glycemic foods are more satisfying than high-glycemic foods. Low-GI foods take longer to absorb and help dieters feel full longer, so they are less likely to overeat. High-GI foods break down faster, leaving you hungry and less satisfied.
Most, but not all, foods on the lower end of the GI scale tend to be healthier, nutrient-rich, less processed, and higher in fiber -- such as whole fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans. Foods high in fiber can be very filling, especially when paired with protein.
"When you focus on choosing low-GI carbs along with lean protein and healthy fats, you will naturally crowd out many of the less nutritious, high GI foods and lose weight," says David Ludwig, MD, PhD, founder of the Optimal Weight for Life program (OWL) at Children's Hospital Boston. He has used the GI plan successfully for years with his patients.
In research published in the March 1, 1999 issue of Pediatrics, Ludwig and colleagues found that foods with lower GI scores seemed to reduce hunger in obese teenage boys.
Whereas the higher GI foods "trigger a rise in blood sugar, followed by a cascade of hormonal changes, which tend to make you hungry again sooner because they are metabolized quicker than low-GI foods," says Ludwig, author of Ending the Food Fight, a weight loss book using the glycemic index.
Glycemic Index Controversy
The GI is not a perfect tool and is no guarantee of healthy fare. Brown and white rice rank comparably on the index scale as do white and whole wheat bread, yet clearly the whole grain choices are healthier.
Some scores are confusing. For example, carrots are a nutrient-rich, high-fiber vegetable that can range from low to high on the GI scale. Likewise, some candy that includes nuts gets a better GI score than a potato. Ripe bananas have higher GI scores than under-ripe bananas. Cook pasta al dente and it ranks lower than fully cooked pasta.
Not only do the food scores vary, but so does the response from person to person. It can even vary within the same person from day to day, according to research reported in the June 2007 issue of Diabetes Care.
Furthermore, no one eats a single food in isolation. When carbs are paired with other foods, it impacts how blood sugars are affected -- that's the glycemic load, which ranks foods based on carbs and portion size.
Some nutrition experts don't put much stock in the GI as an effective weight loss tool because of all the variability associated with the numbers.
"Using the GI to lose weight is unnecessarily complicated, and it does not simplify the task of choosing healthier food to lose weight or manage blood sugar," says Hope Warshaw, MMSc, RD, a certified diabetes educator and author of books about diabetes including Diabetes Meal Planning Made Easy.
Some experts see the glycemic index as just another gimmick because there is little evidence that an elevated blood sugar level leads to weight gain if you are healthy.
How to Choose Healthier Carbs
"Look at the bigger picture. Use the GI scale to choose quality
carbs that are healthy, natural, whole, and in the least processed
state," Ludwig says.
Bottom Line
There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all for weight control. And no single factor defines the perfect nutritional diet.
If you don't get too hung up on the numbers and use common sense to select healthy, less processed, wholesome carbs, a glycemic index diet can help you choose healthier carbs. Keep in mind that you must also control portion sizes and total calories, and get regular physical activity.
Any diet you can stick with long term is the right one for you. "Make healthy food choices that you can live with forever because there really is no value in going on a diet plan for two weeks if you can't sustain it," Warshaw says.
Further research is needed to reach consensus on whether the glycemic index works as a long-term weight loss plan.

(RNN) - There always seems to be a surprise team and a disappointing team in the Southeastern Conference each season. Who will they be this year?
Here is a quick preseason glance at each team in the league and others in BCS conferences that will challenge SEC dominance of college football.
The Tigers won the league last year but stumbled in the BCS Championship rematch with Alabama. They return 12 starters, including the kicker and punter.
Of six returning offensive starters, four are on the offensive line, which is a good place to have them. One starter not returning is cornerback Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu, who was dismissed from the team in August and faces an uncertain future as he participates in a drug rehab program.
Even without the Heisman finalist and last year's defensive player of the year, the Tigers defense will be excellent. LSU was ranked No.1 in the USA Today poll that came out before the Honey Badger dismissal and No. 3 in the AP Poll that came out afterward.
Given a favorable schedule, the strength of the team on offense and defense and a kicking game that remains superb despite losing Mathieu's return skills, LSU is the SEC's best hope for a seventh-straight national football title.
Others to watch:
The Razorbacks were a national championship contender until an embarrassing incident last spring.
It involved head coach Bobby Petrino, a crashed Harley-Davidson and Jessica Dorrell – a much-younger, former Arkansas volleyball star and engaged employee with whom he was having an adulterous affair.
One school of thought is the Razorbacks are better off without their judgment-impaired ex-coach. If they regroup under new boss John L. Smith, look out, because they have as much talent as any team in the country.
Running back Knile Davis, returning from injury, and QB Tyler Wilson are as good as anybody else in the game. Arkansas has a wealth of young talent in the receiving corps, including tight end Chris Gragg, who caught 38 passes last year.
Wilson has shown outstanding leadership, and he will play a big role in where this team finishes, which could very well be in Miami for the BCS Championship game.
The Crimson Tide lost a lot of experience, especially on last year's defense, but it will challenge in the SEC West.
QB A.J. McCarron is the best Tide signal caller in years. Running backs Eddie Lacy and newcomer T.J. Yeldon give coach Nick Saban the sort of one-two punch he loves at running back.
The offensive line is the best in the nation, with two legitimate All-American candidates. Last year's Outland Trophy winner Barrett Jones moved to center from left tackle to make way for Cyrus Kouandjio. Left guard Chris Warmack has made some preseason All-America teams.
The defense lost seven starters, but those who return have plenty of playing time, as Saban likes to rotate his players to keep them fresh – and to give them experience when their time comes. The two biggest games are on the road: Sept 15 at Arkansas and Nov. 3 at Baton Rouge.
The Bulldogs, who won the East Division last year before getting clobbered by LSU in the SEC Championship Game, return 15 starters, nine on defense.
Georgia has an easier path to a division title than any other league team. Its West Division opponents are Ole Miss at home and Auburn on the road.
The non-conference slate features a cupcake buffet of Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern and ACC rival Georgia Tech. UGA travels to Missouri on Sept. 8.
The Dawgs' only real test comes Oct. 6, when they travel to South Carolina. If they get past the Gamecocks, pencil them into the SEC title game. But don't expect them to beat the West winner.
The Gamecocks have to be taken seriously, with Marcus Lattimore returning at running back and with the troubled Stephen Garcia gone at quarterback.
Conner Shaw, pressed into a starting role last year after Garcia's final meltdown, performed well and brings consistency and leadership to a position that has sorely lacked it. The South Carolina defense is young.
We'll know how good this team is within an eight-day span in October – Steve Spurrier's team hosts Georgia on Oct. 6 and travels to LSU on Oct. 13. Two wins, and look out. A win over Georgia and a loss to LSU keeps the Gamecocks in the hunt if they get by Arkansas in November.
The rest of the pack:
The Gators have the benefit of low expectations after last year's 7-6 outing and could well be the upstart in the league. The defense has 10 returning starters and new offensive coordinator Brent Pease should help a unit that had its ups and downs last year.
After that, the news gets worse. The schedule this year is nasty – LSU and South Carolina come to The Swamp, and there's the rivalry game in Jacksonville with Georgia before the Gators play at Florida State in the Nov. 24 season finale.
Games at Texas A&M and Tennessee and a visit from Missouri could be landmines. Nevertheless, don't be surprised if coach Will Muschamp's rebuilding program fast forwards and the Gators turn out to be this year's surprise team.
The Tigers are capable of stirring the pot, but it's hard to pick the Tigers as more than a spoiler with their brutal schedule and an uncertain situation at quarterback.
AU gets a tough test in the season opener against Clemson, followed by a rugged trip to Mississippi State and back-to-back visits from West Division heavyweights LSU (Sept. 22) and Arkansas (Oct. 6). The Tigers also visit resurgent Vanderbilt and defending national champion Alabama this year.
Kiehl Frazier edged Clint Moseley for the starting quarterback job the week before the season – neither stands any chance of being mistaken for Cam Newton. On the upside, the Tigers started a lot of young players on last year's 8-5 team, and they have grown up.
They have 15 starters returning and the past couple of recruiting classes have been excellent. This is a good, improving but still young team.
The Bulldogs, under fourth-year coach Dan Mullen, have a chance to improve on last year's 7-6 record mainly because of a far more favorable schedule. Auburn, Tennessee and Texas A&M are winnable home games, and they travel to Kentucky and Ole Miss, both of whom they should beat easily.
Seven starters are back on a fairly good defense with a strong linebacker corps. The offense lacks experience in the run game, but a good group of receivers can buy time until the running backs mature.
The Commodores and energetic, second-year coach James Franklin have 16 starters back off last year's team, including QB Jordan Rogers and a very good running back in Zac Stacy.
The team made it to the Liberty Bowl last year, and if things fall right could finish in the top half of the SEC East. However, lest we forget, the Commodores only finished 2-6 in the league last year, though they did scare the daylights out of Georgia, Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee.
Vandy has a favorable schedule, with Florida, Auburn and South Carolina coming to Nashville. But they have to travel to division-favorite Georgia. And the element of surprise is gone – this team will not be taken lightly.
The Volunteers had a dreadful year in 2011, but they have a flock of starters back.
The offense features a proven passing game, with QB Tyler Bray and a talented group of receivers. The running game is suspect but still should be better than last year's, which was awful.
The defense is poised to improve. The fans are getting restless, coach Derek Dooley needs to win and coaches under the gun often produce positive results. If the defense can perform at a higher level and the offense can avoid injuries and score the way it's capable, the Vols will be a bowl team.
The Aggies' first-year coach, Kevin Sumlin, comes from Houston to take over a struggling program that produced a 7-6 season last year.
Texas A&M is not expected to do much in their first year in the SEC, and Sumlin doesn't like that. He fumed to a bunch of boosters about the lack of respect for the Aggies at their first SEC Media Days appearance last summer.
"Guys, based on every question I got, they don't think we have any defense," he said. "They don't think our offense will work, and we don't have a quarterback or kicker. Other than that we have no problem."
The crowd laughed, but Sumlin didn't. The Aggies have a schedule that could produce a signature win: They host Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, LSU and Missouri this year.
They travel to Ole Miss, Auburn and Alabama. If the new coach can get his team to play with a chip on its shoulder, A&M might trip up one of the higher-ranked SEC opponents and earn a trip to a bowl game for the fourth straight year.
The Tigers have a chance to make an early statement in the SEC on Sept. 8 when Georgia visits.
Mizzou is viewed as a middle-of-the-pack SEC team in their first year in the new league, but they have a pretty good team this year, and Georgia has a history of starting slowly. The offense averaged more than 400 yards last year, and versatile QB James Franklin is back and recovered from a shoulder injury.
He'll get to throw to newcomer Dorial Green-Beckham, who was the top-ranked high school receiver in the nation. Henry Josey gained 1,000 yards rushing last year and Franklin was just shy of 1,000 yards.
The defense is not really SEC-caliber, and the schedule is a monster, with trips to South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Texas A&M. Alabama, Vandy and Kentucky visit Columbia.
Wildcats coach Joker Phillips has an 11-14 record in his three years in the Southeastern Conference's toughest job. And yes, he's on the hot seat, which never seems fair when that happens to Kentucky football coaches, usually about four years into their term.
What do you expect when reporters ask the football coach how the basketball team's national title helped his recruiting, as they asked Phillips this summer at SEC Media Days?
Without last year's season-ending 10-7 win over Tennessee – which put UT coach Derek Dooley squarely on his own bright-orange hot seat – Phillips would have already been gone. Things don't look so great to save his bacon and prevent a third straight losing season, with only 11 starters back off the team that gave up 242 points in eight SEC games last year and averaged 260 yards per game on offense.
The Rebels' new head coach, Hugh Freeze, has a good chance of improving on last year's 2-10 season, if only because 2011 was such a disaster.
They return eight starters back on offense, eight on defense and they really weren't as bad as that 0-8 SEC record would indicate. Freeze brings in transfer QB Bo Wallace, who played for him at Arkansas State before he transferred to junior college, where last year he passed for 4,600 yards and 53 touchdowns for East Mississippi Community College.
Whoever wins the starting QB job will be throwing to a really good group of receivers. The Rebels also return their leading rusher.
They'll have to win some games they're not expected to, if they want to make a bowl game this year. The more likely scenario is marginal improvement and a third straight losing season.
Pick to win: Wisconsin gets the nod in a wide-open race, only because the Badgers have the easiest path through a balanced league.
The Badgers should cruise to the title game, as their toughest league road game is at Nebraska on Sept. 29. The other tough league games are all at home: Michigan State on Oct. 27 and Ohio State on Nov. 17. Big wins in all those games will mean they're really good.
Others to watch: If Michigan beats Alabama in Dallas on Sept. 1, consider this forecast rewritten with the Wolverines as the league favorites.
They started looking like Michigan again last year, won 11 games and had a great recruiting year under second-year coach Brady Hoke. Michigan State has an excellent defense, but probably not enough offense to go the distance.
Ohio State is one of the country's most interesting teams with the arrival of head coach Urban Meyer, who apparently recovered from the exhaustion that caused him to leave a depleted Florida program. It's probably a little early to anoint the Buckeyes as more than a long shot.
Nebraska is another talented team on the rise, but barring an unusually productive season from third-year QB Taylor Martinez, the Huskers are no more than a solid Top 20 team right now.
Pick to win: Southern California, hands down. Everybody in this league gains about a mile and puts up PlayStation scores every week, but the PAC 12 lacks parity and doesn't offer much of interest except for this one amazing team.
Southern California comes roaring back from probation and is bowl eligible for the first time since 2009. The Trojans have, arguably, the nation's best quarterback (Matt Barkley), two of the best wide receivers (Robert Woods and Marquise Lee) and with the acquisition of Penn State transfer Silas Redd, one of the best running backs.
They averaged nearly 36 points and more than 450 yards a game last year – and didn't play very well until midseason. If the defense can hold the other teams to oh, 40 points or less, these guys have a chance.
Others to watch: Oregon is the only other team in the PAC 12 this year – and the Trojans have the Ducks at home on Nov. 3. That game will, in all likelihood, do no more than determine whether the rematch for the league title and berth in the BCS Championship Game will be in Los Angeles or Eugene, OR.
One team or the other will probably have to win both times to make the BCS Championship Game, because only Alabama can back into national championship games.
Pick to win: Oklahoma, which has 15 starters back off last year's 10-3 team that shouldn't have lost that many games.
QB Landry Jones is a Heisman contender after an off season last year – he still threw for 4,463 yards. The Sooners defense, which has had a tendency to mysteriously become awful for periods of time, should gain consistency with the return of Mike Stoops, brother of head coach Bob Stoops, as coordinator. The schedule is dicey, though.
Others to watch: Texas, after two years of being awful, has nine starters back off the offense that led the league in rushing last year. If the Longhorns beat Oklahoma in Dallas on Oct. 13, consider them back.
Oklahoma State missed out on a chance to lose to LSU in the national title game by virtue of an inexplicable loss to Iowa State on the road last year. The Cowboys lost star QB Brandon Weeden, among others, and will cause some people trouble this year, but don't book reservations in Miami.
Pick to win: Florida State, which is ready to break out as a national championship contender. They get the nod over fellow Atlantic Division member Clemson, which allowed approximately 1 billion yards against West Virginia in the last Orange Bowl Classic.
The Seminoles had their year of disappointment last year and this season have 17 starters back. The defense is among the best in the nation, and the biggest challenge (Clemson) comes at home on Sept. 22.
Others to watch: Defending league champs Clemson broke out with eight straight wins last year before the wheels came off and it lost four of its last six games, including the postseason nightmare in Miami. The Tigers should be better.
The offense returns many talented starters and the defense has seven players returning. If they beat FSU on the road, look out - but don't bet on it. You can also watch North Carolina in the Coastal Division, but only if you like the color blue, because the Tar Heels' uniforms are a lovely shade of it.
They're pretty good, but not a contender. It'll be interesting to see how West Virginia does in this league after shifting from the Big East.
Pick to win: South Florida is good enough to win this depleted league, even after looking terrible last year in close loss after close loss.
QB B.J. Daniels is fun to watch when he's on. The Bulls return 15 starters from last year's 5-7 team. If they can get past Louisville on the road on Oct. 20, they will be on track to win their first conference title and BCS bowl bid.
Others to watch: Louisville went 7-6 last year and has 15 starters back. The Cardinals are getting better under third-year head coach Charlie Strong. QB Teddy Bridgewater is back as a sophomore – he threw too many interceptions last year, but otherwise was pretty effective.
The league is balanced enough that somebody else could slip up and win it.
