Following up that earlier dietary post

This news just in from Sweden:  Full fat dairy products are more likely to keep you slim than comparable low-fat products.

"The surprising conclusion was that increased consumption of cheese meant that overweight women lost weight," said Alicja Wolk, professor at Karolinska Institute, to Svenska Dagbladet.

The ten-year study found that a glass of whole milk every day reduced weight gain by 15%, while full-fat whole-milk cheese was even more effective, reducing weight gain by 30%.  The milk fat also helps boost calcium uptake.

Yeah, I know ... you eat much like I do. Funny thing about that. And neither one of us has any dietary issues that I'm aware of.

(Though I have gained a little extra around my waist I'd like to get rid of ... but it's tough to get rid of when I get so little exercise because every form of physical exercise hurts... and in most cases, makes my foot break open.)

For lower-impact exercise, you might consider checking to see if there is a therapy pool you can use. I have a friend with serious back issues who uses one to work out. You can often find them through senior/disabled services groups.
