Carbs: the ultimate enemy?

In an article published on the March, 2011 issue of Details magazine entitled “Are Carbs More Addictive Than Cocaine”, journalist Paul John Scott claims that carbs should be treated as your ultimate enemy and that it’s actually carbs not fat that make food fattening.

I really enjoyed reading this article so I thought it would be interesting to go through it and then discuss the outcomes of it.

Soy Milk: Good Or Bad?

This topic is a controversial one.
Every single person I've spoken to has a very different (and strong) opinion on soy milk. Some say it’s good for you others that it’s really bad and that you should be very careful, finally others do not care and just drink it because they like it (I kinda like those kind of persons). 
Personally, I discovered soy milk not a long time ago. Through my roomie Svet. She's obsessed with vanilla soy lattes. Whenever she goes out she comes back home holding a "tall one". So it was only a matter of time before she got me hooked on it. 
Next thing I know, I find myself buying a big carton of vanilla soy milk at Whole Foods. I literally love the taste. It's so good.

As I didn’t know much about milk soy I decided to do a little bit of research on it. That's when I found out that there is some controversy around this product.

Balsamic Vinegar Unveiled

The traditional balsamic vinegar first appeared around 1000AD in Modena (Italy).

There is no documented history on how balsamic vinegar was born. According to some, it all started out randomly in a kitchen household, where a certain amount of grape cooked must, the so-called Saba (which was back then used as a sweetener) was forgot in a kitchen pot and found again only after some time when the acetification/fermentation process was already taking place.

The Awesomeness of Bikram Yoga

OK, I’ll admit it...I’m addicted to Bikram yoga. I started almost two years ago and since then I can’t get enough.
I remember the first time I walked in class. Being a triathlete, I think nothing can stop me so I told myself: “This is going to be a piece of cake!”
Well, I’ve never been more wrong in my life. The heat almost "killed" me and, on top of that, the lack of flexibility in my muscles and joints made my life miserable for the whole 90 minutes.
But I don't like to throw in the towel, and I had to become good at it, no matter what.
After few weeks of practice I’ve noticed how the improved flexibility made my life easier in swimming and running (in particular, more powerful strokes and longer steps).
It was then settled, I would include Bikram Yoga in my training routine.
