Lactose Intolerant?
Copyright 2005 What causes lactose intolerance?Lactose is digested in the small intestine by an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme allows the body to break down the lactose into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. These are quickly absorbed by the intestine and provide energy for the body. The level of the lactase enzyme varies between individuals, as does the severity of symptoms caused by lactose intolerance.What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?Symptoms range from mild abdominal discomfort, bloating and excessive wind to severe abdominal cramps and diarrhoea.Substitutes for lactose-containing foodsLactose intolerance generally isn't serious and can be controlled by some simple changes in your diet. The dietary changes for lactose intolerance should include the exclusion of those foods highest in lactose.
There is now a wide range of fresh soy milks, yoghurts and ice creams which are lactose free and calcium enriched. Many dairy foods actually have little or no lactose so you can continue to enjoy them.The power of soy proteinSoy-based products are on the rise for very healthy reasons. The humble soybean boasts some extraordinary benefits. Lactose-free, soy protein is a "complete protein" which contains all 9 essential amino acids in the right balance to meet your body's needs. Soy protein is the only plant protein that is complete.
This makes it a great substitute for many meats, allowing you to eliminate more saturated fat and cholesterol from your diet. While soybeans have much to offer from a protein perspective, it is because they contain so many nutrients, such as isoflavones, that they are now the centre of so much attention. Soy protein enhances the body's ability to retain and better absorb calcium into the bones. Soy isoflavones help by slowing bone loss and inhibiting bone breakdown.Lactose-free Formula 1The super soy bean is at teh heart of Herbalife's Formula 1 and Thermojetics Protein Powder. Those with lactose intolerance can mix Formula 1 and Protein Powder with water, soy milk or fruit juice rather than skim milk, confident they are still getting all the nutrients they would normally get from milk, and then some, without the risk of lactose symptoms.Ideal meal -shakesChocolate strawberry, peach almond, cafe mocha.

Low Glycemic Diet + Weight Loss Plan
The glycemic index is a system for classifying carbohydrate-containing foods according to how fast they raise blood-glucose levels inside the body. In simplest terms, foods with a low glycemic value generate small fluctuations in blood glucose and insulin levels. This makes them much more beneficial than foods with a high glycemic value that raise the blood glucose and insulin levels faster.
The glycemic index method classifies carbohydrates according to their effect on blood-glucose instead of according to their chemical structure of either simple (Simple carbohydrates are sugars, like glucose, fructose and lactose.) carbohydrates or complex (Complex carbohydrates are starches and fiber; wholegrain breads, pasta, rice, beans, fruits, and vegetables.) carbohydrates.
BENEFITS OF A LOW GI DIET:
All carbohydrate foods are not created the same and can behave very differently in our bodies. The glycemic index (GI) illustrates this...

"Last Night I Dreamt of Brad Pitt...": Why America is Sleeping with Celebrities
You don't have to stand out on Sunset Boulevard to catch a glimpse of a celebrity. Just close your eyes. Because chances are one out of four that one will show up in your dreams, says Josie Brown, author of "Last Night I Dreamt of Cosmopolitans: The Modern Girl's Dream Dictionary" [St. Martin's Griffin, May 2005].
Her book explains dream symbolism in terms that the hip fashionista readily comprehends: celebrities, pop culture trends, relationship angst, fashion brands?and of course, designer shoes.
That makes perfect sense, says Brown, considering that, on any given day, we are bombarded with hundreds of images?and the majority of those images feature celebrities." "Last year alone, during an average week Britney Spears got over 11,000 column inches of gossipy tidbits written about her, and Jennifer Lopez got over 5,000 inches," explains Brown. "Just think about it: there were more than 450 movies released last year starring people we idolize, and about thirty entertainment...
