September 2007. Most information was obtained from company Web sites or direct inquiries.

Serving sizes are based on commonly eaten portions, pharmaceutical instructions, or the amount of the leading-selling contaner size. For example, beverages sold in 16-ounce or 20-ounce bottles were counted as one serving.

On a tous un truc de grand-mère ! On a quasiment envie d'essayer le sien, non ?

L'album RED est lancé aujourd'hui de la sensation américaine Taylor Swift.  Elle se retrouve magnifiquement bien accompagné pour la chanson Everything has changed avec le Britannique Ed Sheeran.

Vous aimez?  Valeur sûre selon moi, refrain accrocheur, tout y est!

Peut-être que dans votre jeunesse, vous auriez aimé faire parti d'une chorale comme celle-ci ?

Encore un beau coup de publicité pour Coca-Cola en lien avec la sortie du film Skyfall 007 le 7 novembre :)

Je vous présente Gnesa, avec la chanson Wilder.  Retenez votre souffle

Nous étions plusieurs à espérer énormément du deuxième album d’Ellie Goulding, surtout qu’elle est la copine de Skrillex, le disc-jockey adulé, ce qui ajoute à l’attente sachant qu’ils ont collaboré ensemble à la parution de ce disque. Et personne ou presque ne sera déçu, car l’album Halcyon (halcyon étant le nom d’un oiseau à gros bec en passant…), m’a semblé formidable à plusieurs niveaux. D’abord parce qu’il propose une électropop audacieuse jonchée d’arrangements étonnants calqués parfois sur les patterns que l’on retrouve dans la musique électronique contemporaine, mais aussi parce la belle Ellie chante l’espoir de vivre comme personne dans son créneau avec des textes lumineux et soigneusement syllabés, notamment sur Anything Could Happen, Joy et la superbe chanson éponyme. Un disque qui regorge de hits qui seront disséqués par les remixeurs du monde libre au grand plaisir des oiseaux de nuits, mais qui plaira aussi à d’autres qui retrouveront avec bonheur certaines similarités vocales autrefois attitrées à Pat Benatar. Enya et même Björk. Assurément l’un des disques marquants de 2012. (F.Gariépy)

 The Best Times to Eat for Weight LossHow and when you eat can impact your health—and your weight. Upgrade your eating habits to maximize fat burning and keep hunger at bay

Certainly what we eat has an enormous impact on our health and weight status. But did you know that when and how we eat also make a huge difference? Eating at the appropriate times throughout the day will help to maximize fat burning and keep hunger at bay.

Aim to eat every 3 to 4 hours. Most people eat three meals and one snack, while others may prefer four smaller meals; you're free to find the combination that works best for you. Timing your meals in this way will improve your fat loss by preventing excess insulin, allowing leptin to work its magic on appetite control and metabolism, and by balancing the stress hormone cortisol. You should also enjoy your meals at the same time every day.

Eat within 1 hour of rising. Your mom was also right when she told you breakfast was the most important meal of the day. When you skip breakfast, you lose its stimulating benefits on your metabolic rate. You also become more likely to eat unbalanced meals, more calories, and larger amounts of saturated fat throughout the day. Plenty of research shows that those of us who skip breakfast are actually heavier. Missing out on a healthy morning meal also increases stress hormones.

Never eat within 3 hours of bedtime. Eating too close to bedtime raises your body temperature, increases blood sugar and insulin, prevents the release of melatonin, and cuts down on growth hormone release. All these factors interfere with the quality of your sleep and the natural fat-burning benefits of a good night’s rest. Furthermore, sleep deprivation leads to more cravings and a greater likelihood of overeating the next day.

If you must eat before bed, opt for a light meal or snack that's high in protein and low in carbohydrates and fat, such as a protein shake made with berries and water, salad with grilled chicken, or a shrimp and veggie stir-fry.

Start the day with protein. For better appetite control throughout the day, try combining your starchy carbs at lunch, dinner, or after your workouts rather than at breakfast. Stick to eggs or whey protein smoothies for breakfast and you'll eat less throughout the day.

Always eat within 45 minutes of finishing your workout. This meal or snack is the only one of the day that should not contain much fat and should be higher in carbohydrates. For example, have a smoothie made with juice, fruit, and protein powder, but no flaxseeds or oil.

Never do your weight training on an empty stomach. You will need energy from your foods to perform optimally. You may, however, complete your cardio before eating if your session will be less than 30 minutes.

Focus on your food. Do not eat while you are doing anything else (i.e., watching TV, working, surfing on the computer, etc.). Focus on chewing your food and relaxing while you eat.

Eat protein first. Eat the protein on your plate first to help speed the signal to your brain that you are full.

Drink alcohol last. If you have alcohol or wine, do so after your meal to enhance the hormones involved in appetite control and digestion.
