Here's a couple of fun quizzes to start off the week!
Test Your Restaurant IQ: Are Your Favorite Foods Full of Fat?
How fattening are your favorite restaurant foods? Some are probably pretty healthy, while others may be packed with hidden fat.
Joy Bauer, M.S., R.D., C.D.N., author of The 90/10 Weight-Loss Plan, created this quiz to teach you the surprising truth about your favorite dishes. So, test your restaurant savvy and learn how to eat out without gaining weight!
Eat Right for Your Metabolism
Find out if you're a grain eater or a meat eater and lose weight!
How to Determine Your Metabolism
There are two tests that can reveal whether you are a grain eater, a meat eater or an omnivore. The niacin self-test outlined in the following section reveals whether you are parasympathetic dominant, that is, a meat eater, or sympathetic dominant ‑- a grain, fowl, and fish eater ‑- or an omnivore, in which case you can digest meat, fish, chicken and whole grains equally well. These tests will help you find the diet that fits your metabolism. A second test for metabolism type, the vitamin C self-test, is outlined later in this section. The vitamin C test can be used if the niacin test is inconclusive.http://diet.ivillage.com/plans/0,,99hmb5j5,00.html?ice=iv|df|meta

Finally, I was able to do the restaurant quiz, only got a couple wrong, so I thought I would have done better than only 61%!!
On the metabolism page....that niacin-self test sounds a little scary. Now I understand what Gretchen's question about symptoms was about, lol! I wonder too....at least with the vitamin C test there are no 'outward' results!
That alkalinizing potato water doesn't sound too appetizing- ugh!
