Twin Cities Orthopedic has a great reputation.
Mayo has also taken over a bunch of small hospitals and clinics in rural parts of the state. Extends into Iowa and Wisconsin as well.
Mayo runs a bunch of the small town clinics in rural Minnesota (some in IA and WI too), so that pulls the overall health care system up.
Well, it is the main salad ingredient.
Our Fareway has a great selection in grains, beans, and lentils. The yogurt selection is somewhat limited but I buy kefir there.
That is truth. And I hate mayonnaise for some reason although I tolerate it when I make deviled eggs
Mayo is a terrible condiment, but fine when it's a binding ingredient - like deviled eggs or potato salad.
This. How we design our cities and neighborhoods is a huge factor in how active and fit people are.
When I lived in Chicago, I commuted on the L. My daily route included about 1.5 miles of walking round trip. Additionally, nearly everywhere I'd need to go in a week (groceries, Target, hardware store, pharmacy) was an easy walk - sometimes easier than driving unless I was getting something big or heavy. I averaged about 15k steps a day without purposefully walking just to get steps.
I moved to San Diego, where everything was a drive and not particularly pedestrian friendly. My average daily steps dropped to ~5k a day and I gained 15lbs in the first year.
I moved to a dense neighborhood in LA where I can walk to do most of my errands. Back up to about 10k steps a day and down 10lbs in a year. If I had a commute (WFH forever!!!), I'd probably be back up to 15k steps a day.
Between these three cities, I really didn't change my diet or other exercise habits, just how I ran my errands and got around.
Crazy ******* put that **** on canned peaches. Actually, they put it on and in everything. Add some Mayo to that frosting and that cake is gonna POP.
I cheated with artificial sugars to start it and fiber. I'm now probably 40 pounds from my original weight loss, but I was also super fit when I cut the weight originally. Whole foods are your best friend.
Trust your body and don't be in a hurry. So often we're in a hurry to get the results. Be in a hurry to do it correctly. If you have a craving, find a healthier alternative. We also don't need the portions we consume, I read something one time that really resonated with me. It was that we really only taste the first two or three bites, after that, it's unconscious behavior.
I can understand the problem with getting healthier food in rural america, but I don't buy the notion of not being able to get outside and find a place to walk, run, or bike ride. My favorite running is when I get to go back to my in-laws and explore the country roads. Obviously have to be on a higher alert for trucks, but mornings out there doesnt get much more beautiful.
Been reading about the cholesterol thing. They aren't so sure about that anymore, especially if you eat good fats like fish oil, avocado, olive oil etc. If you eat a keto diet, fat is necessary to get you through the day without carbs.
This is a terrible take. Burgers are better with mayo.
