Skipping breakfast is about the worst thing you can do to reach your perfect weight.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/31/2008 10:46 AM
Monday, June 30: The medical journal Pediatrics recently reported on a study that followed the breakfast habits of teens. American teenagers who skipped breakfast were more likely to be obese than those who found time to eat breakfast before school. The breakfast-skipping teens weighed five pounds heavier, on average, and ate less healthy during the day. They also exercised less frequently, which isn’t surprising either.

If you’re drinking tall glasses of sweet tea during these hot summer months, you’re sabotaging your effort to reach your perfect weight.

Saturday, June 28: The same goes for slurping specialty coffees, sports drinks, fruit punch, and sodas. You can cut back on doughnuts and sweets in the break room, but if you’re sipping sweetened ice tea throughout the day, you’re moving further away from your perfect weight.

You can’t deny the truth when it comes to your perfect weight.

Thursday, June 26: I haven’t met a heavyset person who wouldn’t want to lose weight, but from my vantage point, many obese individuals harbor attitudes similar to the classic “five stages of grief,” as articulated by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her seminal book, On Death and Dying (Scribner, 1997).

It looks like the airlines are trying to fly their planes at their “perfect weight.”

Monday, June 23: I may not be one of Delta’s Platinum Medallion frequent fliers by the time 2008 finishes up since I’ve done most of my city-to-city traveling in the Perfect Weight America tour bus this year. I’d say that for the last seven or eight years, though, I’ve been one of those road warriors who easily flew more than 100,000 miles a year.

Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/24/2008 8:24 AM
Friday, June 20: Americans love the taste of chicken, and every year, we eat about 90 pounds of poultry per person, which is a lot of drumsticks and chicken breasts. Gwen Schoen with the MCT News Service complied the following quiz to find out how much you know about the chicken you shop for. Here’s a true-false test that has some questions and answers that will surprise you.

Is nothing sacred? Someday your chocolate may come from genetically modified cocoa.
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/23/2008 1:58 PM
Saturday, June 21: I’ve written extensively about the dangers of eating foods made from genetically modified (GMO) crops. You may not be aware of this, but a revolution is taking place in agribusiness, and it’s planting our nation’s breadbasket with genetically modified wheat, corn, and soybeans, which, in my book, is not kosher. When scientists add a gene to a food that wasn’t originally part of that food, that changes the DNA character of the crop.

Food riots have broken out in Haiti, El Salvador, Egypt, and India, and that might open the door to more genetically modified crops.

Wednesday, June 18: In El Salvador recently, sky-high food prices for staples like corn led to women taking to the streets and banging their pots and pans, shouting, “We are hungry!”

Maybe the Perfect Weight America tour bus can stop at the U.S. Congress cafeteria the next time we pass by Washington, D.C.

Monday, June 16: I try to stay away from partisan politics as far as I can, but apparently Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, has done a good number on the Congressional cafeteria located in the basement of the House’s Longworth Office Building on the south side of Capital Hill.

The Glass Packaging Institute reports a surge in demand for glass baby bottles, and Babies R Us says they’re selling five times the number of glass bottles as they did a year ago.

Saturday, June 14: That’s great news because Nicki and I have chosen to feed our two infants with glass baby bottles, and we hope millions of young parents are following in our footsteps. Alexis and Samuel gulp down their homemade infant formula (I’ll share the recipe at the end of this blog) from glass baby bottles, not plastic bottles made with bisphenol A, or BPA.

How ship-shape and clean is your cruise ship this summer?
Jordan Rubin's PWA Blog By Jordan Rubin on 7/16/2008 9:05 AM
Thursday, June 12: We hear a lot about the cruise line industry in South Florida since we call ourselves “The Cruise Ship Capital of the World.” Millions of passengers fly in each year and board humongous ships in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami ports of call.
