Apparently, insulin resistance can be augmented by stress.

A few reasons are proposed for why eating fat (rather than carbohydrates) can help lose fat:
It could be mentioned here that some fats are better than others. I’ve come to believe that trans fats are to be avoided. (I also try to avoid processed snacks.) However, whether fat is dairy or vegetable oil matters little to me. Some people have more specific opinions.
Source:Let’s imagine a characteristic of interest, C.
In its simplest form, a cross-sectional study will select two groups – group A with characteristic C, and group B without it. Then, the investigators will measure other characteristics of the groups, wondering if the presence or absence of the others is connected with the lack or presence of C.
Except for the absence or presence of C, the members of groups A and B will be similar.

Jane Siberry is a Canadian music artist. Perhaps she began in ’81 or before, but I know of her because of a single hit from the 1980s: “One More Colour” from her 1985 album The Speckless Sky.
I remember hearing “One More Colour” when I was fifteen. It called me back to a childhood that I’d glimpsed, but was losing. Its lyrics hint at life in Canada:
A basket of apples by the back door, beneath the sweater pegs
The autumn leaves lift along the street….-Jane Siberry, “One More Colour”
“One More Colour”‘s dreamy, bouncy melody draws the listener into contemplation. It’s catchy, yet intriguing – I can’t think of a similar song. Underneath, Jane starts by asking, “Is it lasting?”
“One More Colour”‘s meaning seems difficult for me to decode, while its tone seems to ask, “Why worry?” It’s mysterious, yet somehow reassuring.
I can’t recall any of my friends mentioning “One More Colour”, yet I saw the video on TV. Truly, I think it’s catchier than some 80s hits that receive more attention.
That part of my life passed quickly, but I never forgot “One More Colour”, half of whose video I caught on my way out to catch the bus when I was a kid of fifteen. I knew I must, eventually, listen to the whole song. Now, thanks to the internet, you can, too:)

Back on September 15, 2015, I noted a sweetgum tree in Campbell River. Its star-shaped leaves were how I identified it.
Yesterday, I saw one without leaves and didn’t recognize it as a sweetgum. After some research I discovered its numerous spiky fruits, still present after its leaves have fallen, tell that it is, indeed, a sweetgum. This one isn’t big like others I’ve seen, but seems prosperous enough, given the many dozens of fruit hanging from it. I saw it down in Parksville.

Parksville has given me a wonderful week.
I find the people here friendly and considerate. Last night, I was crossing at a corner. Someone was waiting behind me to make a left turn. They did not enter the intersection until I was on the sidewalk at the other side. Such politeness might be surprising, but not in Parksville.
Wherever I go here, the people I meet say “Hello” and wish me a good day.
The other night, walking home, I saw a business all lit up as if it were open. Yet I was sure it wasn’t, given the lateness of the hour. I looked inside. Two men were playing a board game after closing up shop. Making hand gestures, they were absorbed in conversation as they set up the game. It might have been a sight from another era…unless you’re here.
Everywhere in Parksville, the people have buoyed me during a very busy week. It will be tempting to return here….
