Are you trying to lose a few pounds? Do you find yourself hungry all the time?
Just because you’re trying to lose weight, doesn’t mean you have to deal with a grumbling stomach. Here are some easy tricks to make you feel fuller longer.
Tip 1. Eat more whole grains
While refined grains, like white flour, white pasta, and white rice will cause you to feel hungry just a short time later; whole grains, like brown rice, oats, millet, and teff will leave you feeling much satisfied longer.
When eating pasta, be sure to choose whole-grain pasta, such as brown rice pasta when eating pasta. (But don’t bother with cardboard-tasting pasta. Here’s how to choose the best-tasting whole-grain pasta.)
(Hint: Here are some delicious and slimming pasta recipes.)
Tip 2. Eat more legumes (beans, chickpeas, lentils)
Studies have shown that those who are able to lose weight and keep it off consume an average of 33% more fiber than their overweight counterparts.
As an added bonus, a diet rich in legumes may also boost your metabolism.
(Hint: Here’s how to cook legumes so they digest more easily.)
Tip 3. Eat more potatoes
Both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes contain hunger-fighting chemicals. A study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that eating these foods may boost satiety — and help you eat about 320 fewer calories per day.
(Hint: Here are some delicious and slimming potato recipes.)
Tip 4. Eat breakfast
Research shows that those who regularly eat a healthy breakfast eat fewer calories throughout the day and yet feel less hungry.

To win a RoSPA Health and Safety Award is by no means an easy feat. Last year alone, we received close to 2,000 entries from across the globe. To achieve one gold achievement award is a fantastic accolade for your organization… however, to continue that winning streak year after year is outstanding. In 2019, Nottingham based civil and electrical engineering firm J. McCann & Co. Ltd. did just that and achieved their fourth RoSPA Gold Achievement Award (and they couldn’t be more delighted).
An Achievement Award truly is the accolade that safety professionals across all industries aspire to. In our latest interview with four-time Gold Award Winner, J. McCann & Co. Ltd explains how winning a RoSPA Award has impacted their organization…
What motivated you/your organization to enter the RoSPA Awards?
Entering the RoSPA Awards motivates our organization to drive improvements for our safe systems of work, year upon year. It also allows us to demonstrate our commitment to the safety of our staff, contractors and all others affected by our work, whilst enabling us to showcase and celebrate the success of our workforce, who work to an award-winning standard.
Winning a Gold Award for the fourth consecutive year is proof of how entry into the awards process drives and develops our systems.
What benefits does winning a RoSPA Award have for you/your organization?
Winning a RoSPA award supports our strong health and safety culture that we have here at McCann and helps to provide great supporting evidence to a client’s Pre-qualification Questionnaires (PQQs).
We also display that we are a RoSPA Gold Award Winner in all of our email signatures, which helps to promote us as an organization that works to extremely high standards, especially when it comes to health and safety.
What do you enjoy most about the RoSPA Awards process?
We always look forward to the awards dinner because it is a great opportunity for our support staff to receive recognition for the very important work they do. We arrange for as many of them as possible to be at the dinner where they can relax and meet with other employees from our site and celebrate shared success.
What do you think the applicant could do over the year to keep drafting an award submission simple?
To guarantee a straight forward submission, it is important to remain organized. Initially, you should read the RoSPA submission guidance and take the time to digest all the information and thoroughly understand it.
Assigning the responsibility to one person ensures that they are focused on the submission and can take control of what is needed at each stage. The designated employee should then make folders for each of the submission headings and collate evidence as they go, for example, saving any relevant emails. When filing evidence, it is useful to categorize the evidence early on as this will help prevent repetition of evidence across different categories.
What advice would you give to organizations considering entering the awards for the first time, or how would you convince organizations not to enter the awards to start entering?
First of all, the awards are about telling the story of what is going well using the information you already have, which can be simpler than you may assume, so it is always worth entering. Also, don’t avoid entering if you have had an incident at work. The RoSPA Awards are a great opportunity to show that you have developed mature safety processes, but can also show how you learn from such incidents to prevent them from happening again. This can also lead to opportunities to demonstrate key learning and share findings with the rest of your wider industry.
We would advise not repeating the same evidence in the categories, which is where preparation and organization play a huge part. It’s also good to remember that less is more with your written submission. Drafts your document and check the word count, you will likely exceed the word limit the first time you do it but keep working on it until it’s as succinct as possible.
So what’s stopping you? The process of joining the global RoSPA Award-winning community couldn’t be simpler. Simply visit www.rospa.com/awards, register online, and submit your entry via our online portal. First-time entrants? Don’t worry, as support and guidance is available through our mentoring scheme – read this blog to find out more.
Whether you’re a returning entrant, or brand new to the RoSPA Health & Safety Awards, going through the entry process can seem a little daunting… but don’t panic! We have a highly dedicated team at RoSPA to help.
We caught up with two members of the RoSPA team, Dr Karen McDonnell and Matt Cryer, to find out how they can help entrants on their awards journey.
Dr. Karen McDonnell, CFIOSH, Chartered FCIPD OHS Policy Adviser, Head of RoSPA Scotland, Past President of IOSH As a highly motivated advocate for safety and health, Karen is skilled in partnership working, with a track record of working with and through key stakeholders across the UK’s health and safety network. Karen has a broad range of strategic and operational experience gained over 25 years whilst working for RoSPA. Karen can help award entrants in a number of ways…
Matt Cryer, TechIOSH Awards Standards Manager Matt is the Award Standards Manager for RoSPA’s Health and Safety Awards scheme, responsible for developing and overseeing the assessment process, judging panels and question sets. During Matt’s time at RoSPA he has gained the NEBOSH General Certificate and TechIOSH status. With his wealth of awards experience, Matt can assist award entrants from the start, right through to the end of your awards journey…
As well as support from our team, we also offer a FreeMentoring Scheme, where we put you in touch with an experienced, high achieving award winner, to help you maximize your entry.

I’ve written previously about how Paul Ingraham helped cure my patello-femoral pain syndrome.
More recently, Paul looked into hiccup cures because his father had an intractable case. What finally worked for dad? Breathing into a plastic bag.
Boosting blood CO2 (hypercapnia) by breathing in a PLASTIC bag. This one is quite plausible and is easy and safe to try. Hypercapnia definitely affects some kinds of hiccups. The story (from a smart source, a good “friend of PainSci”): “There’s an even easier way out of hiccups — at zero cost. Learned it from my uncle, who studied medicine in Brazil in the 50s. Anesthetized patients with hiccups were in pain, so they needed to get rid of it ASAP. Method: breathe in a PLASTIC bag, small enough for you to get hypercapnia (get higher blood levels of CO2). You have to hold the bag REALLY tight around your nose and mouth to prevent air from escaping, and if you have trouble with dizziness, it’s advisable to sit down for it. As soon as it gets uncomfortable, mostly after 4-6 breaths, you can stop, the hiccup will be gone. I don’t know what this does to the phrenic nerve, but it works 100%.”
Safety Notes: Obviously there could be some danger with this method. If he’d had low O2 or was struggling for breath, we likely wouldn’t have dared. (On the other hand, if he’d been in that state, he would’ve been at the hospital.) But he was supervised, with no possibility of getting stuck, and a matter of only a few breaths. Perhaps there was still some risk… but I think not treating those hiccups was also a risk.
I’ve never tried that method for my hiccups. My personal favorite home remedy is “drinking from the far side of the glass.” AKA, drinking water upside down. Watch this video of a good ol’ boy demonstrating the technique although I would aim for drinking at least 6-8 fl oz of water before quitting. Don’t ask me how it works; it may have something to do with the soft palate or diaphragm.
Bay Street economists are placing their bets on whether or not the Canadian economy is headed for a recession. (Steve Russell/Toronto Star via Getty Images)
Higher borrowing rates, a relentless surge in the cost of living, a downturn in the housing market and a softening of the jobs market have Canada wondering whether the economy is headed for a recession.
Here’s where some Bay Street and other economists stand on the fate of Canada’s economy:
Calling for a recession
BMO Economics
BMO Capital Markets expects a “moderate and short-lived” recession in Canada through the first half of 2023 as a handful of factors weigh on the economy. A slowdown in US growth, higher interest rates, a downturn in financial markets and a further correction in home prices lay the groundwork for a contraction, BMO said in a client note.
The tight labor market is also likely in for an adjustment, with BMO expecting the unemployment rate to hit 6.5 per cent, from the current 5.4 per cent. Rate cuts are unlikely until early 2024, the bank said.
– As of Oct. 5, 2022
RBC Economics
RBC recently moved up its recession forecast and now expects a “moderate” contraction in the first half of 2023 as the high cost of living and rising borrowing rates take a toll on consumer spending and the housing market. Households could see their purchasing power reduced by $3,000 (or about 3% of annualized household disposable income over the first half of this year) in 2023 as sticky inflation offsets any meaningful gains in wages, the bank estimates.
“We expect the Bank of Canada to pause its rate-hiking cycle in late-2022 followed by the Fed in early 2023. But that’s contingent on inflation pressures easing. More stubborn inflation trends over the coming months could yet prompt additional hikes, and a potentially larger decline in household consumption and a deeper recession,” RBC said.
– As of Oct. 12, 2022
Citi
Canada is indeed headed for a recession, but it will come later than most people think, economist Veronica Clark said. “We expect a more widespread slowdown in activity in Canada into next year with a contraction in GDP in the second half of next year,” she said in a note to clients, with higher rates and a slowing US economy being the main drag on growth . Most other firms that are calling for a recession see it happening in the first half of 2023.
– As of Oct. 28, 2022
Desjardins
Canada is in for a recession in “early 2023,” Desjardins confirmed in an email to Yahoo Finance Canada. Separately, the firm says in a client note that the Bank of Canada is aware of the clear trade-offs in rapidly hiking its key lending rate. “Policy makers are willing to risk a mild near-term recession rather than allow high inflation to become entrenched, as that would eventually necessitate a more severe downturn.”
– As of Sept. 23, 2022
Scotiabank Economics
Economists at Bank of Nova Scotia see the economy entering a technical recession, or two straight quarters of negative growth, in the first half of 2023. “Though we now expect what might be called a technical recession in Canada, we believe the economy will essentially stall in the first half of 2023. The decline in economic activity is likely to be minor and short-lived owing to the underlying resilience of the economy,” the bank said in a client note. GDP growth is expected to slow to 0.6 per cent for next year overall, from 3.2 per cent this year.
Lower commodity prices, more uncertainty, stock market declines, higher borrowing rates and a weak US economy will all weigh on Canada.
– As of Oct. 17, 2022
Capital Economics
Capital Economics is also on the list of firms calling for a recession in the first half of next year. The firm says sticky inflation is weighing on consumer spending and inflation expectations are becoming more embedded as prices remain resilient despite higher interest rates. The housing market downturn also won’t bode well for the economy. The firm hiked its forecast for the Bank of Canada’s benchmark rate to now hit 4.75 per cent early next year.
– As of Oct. 21, 2022
Not using the “R” word
TD Economics
Despite the odds being stacked against the domestic economy, TD Economics still sees growth in GDP ahead, albeit at a slower pace. The bank is forecasting a 0.6 per cent and 0.3 per cent expansion for the first and second quarters next year, respectively. Higher rates and inflation will weigh on households, but TD says consumer spending has increased since COVID-related restrictions were lifted, and that elevated commodity prices will help boost the economy.
– as of Sept. 20, 2022
CIBC Capital Markets
The Canadian economy will kick off the new year with a slight contraction, according to a note from CIBC Capital Markets. The economy will shrink 0.2 per cent in the first quarter before rebounding to a tepid 0.6 per cent growth in the second quarter of next year, the bank predicts. The effects won’t be felt evenly across the country though. Ontario and British Columbia. will bear the brunt of the impact because of their reliance on the real estate sector and high levels of household debt.
Quebec will also struggle with growth because of its tight labor market, CIBC says. Meanwhile, Alberta is expected to benefit from higher commodity prices and Atlantic Canada will get a boost from an influx of international and interprovincial migration.
– as of Oct. 20, 2022
National Bank Financial Markets
National Bank Financial Markets forecasts a small 0.2 per cent GDP contraction in the first quarter, followed by 0.9 per cent growth in the following quarter. In a client note, the bank says Canada was doing “so far so good” in avoiding a hard landing for the economy and that key indicators like inflation were moving in the right direction. Overall for 2023 though, National lowered its GDP forecast to a megagre 0.7 per cent.
– as of Oct. 2022
Bank of Canada
The central bank lowered its growth forecasts amid a steep decline in housing activity, a weakening labor market and a pullback in consumer spending. The Bank did not commit to a recession outright, but says GDP growth through the end of this year and into 2023 will likely slow to between zero and 0.5 per cent, where “a couple of quarters with growth slightly below zero is just as likely as a couple of quarters with small positive growth.”
– as of Oct. 26, 2022
International Monetary Fund
The International Monetary Fund expects Canadian economic growth to slow to 1.5 per cent next year, but warns the risks are skewed to the downside. Persistent inflation and a bigger-than-expected drag from the US economy could mean a “substantially worse” outlook for Canada. The IMF adds that it sees the unemployment rate rising to six per cent and home prices eroding their pandemic gains. “A mild recession could easily emerge, and the historical distribution of risks suggests a roughly 10 per cent chance that the economy would contract for 2023 as a whole,” the IMF said.

The various available vaccines, possibly even different batches from the same manufacturer, have different adverse effect profiles
From News.com.au:
Former federal MP [Member of Parliament?] Dr Kerryn Phelps has revealed he and his wife both suffered serious and ongoing injuries from Covid vaccines, while suggesting the true rate of adverse events is far higher than acknowledged due to underreporting and “threats” from medical regulators.
In an explosive submission to Parliament’s Long Covid inquiry, the former Australian Medical Association (AMA) president has broken her silence about the “devastating” experience — emerging as the most prominent public health figure in the country to speak up about the taboo subject.
“This is an issue that I have witnessed first-hand with my wife who suffered a severe neurological reaction to her first Pfizer vaccine within minutes, including burning face and gums, paraesthesiae, and numb hands and feet, while under observation by myself, another doctor and a registered nurse at the time of immunization,” the 65-year-old said.
