Myth: Low-fat or low-carb diets are the way to go: busted
No. The body’s preferred energy sources are the unrefined carbs which can be found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. It’s the processed grains we want to avoid, like in pastas and pastries. A low-fat diet is discouraged, as many of the low-fat products on the shelves remove the fat and replace them with sugar.

What follows is a list of the city’s most mammoth meals, daunting dinners, and enormous eats. We challenge you to chow down.
When she’s not busy making sandwiches at the Red Apron (564 Gladstone Ave.) or recording albums with local bands like Zebrassieres, she’s hosting a YouTube show—Eva Bee’s Jamboree—that features Ottawa musicians cooking with local ingredients.
he richness of life comes from taking chances, and although not every unique, local restaurant you choose will be a winner, I guarantee the good experiences will outweigh the bad. It is simply naive to decide on Swiss Chalet because you want to avoid risk.
To help us improve on a classic, we enlisted Jamie Stunt, head chef at Oz Kafe (361 Elgin St.) and recent silver medallist at the Canadian Culinary Championships. We challenged him to create a more delicious version of the bright orange mac and cheese by adding only five additional ingredients to the mix. In his own words, his leftover KD casserole is “actually pretty fucking good!”
Quite simply put: the food options on our campus are embarrassing.
He’s been in the food industry for decades: he owned his own restaurant, Willie’s Café, in London, Ont., for nine years, and has worked at some of the top restaurants in Europe and North America, including The French Laundry in Napa Valley, The Fat Duck in England, and Casa Bella in Kingston. I sat down with Van Dyk, who’s currently going on his third year as a culinary arts instructor, to talk about what it means to be a restaurant reviewer.
“A lot of the time when you’re in jail, you get selfish,” my dad said to me. “The selfish feeling is that you wish you could see your family. You miss them so much and you just want that comfort. In actuality, I had to think of your feelings too. I wasn’t worried about you missing me, or whatever else, but actually fearing for me. Had you guys come to Millhaven and seen that shit, it would’ve scared you. It would’ve kept you up at night. It was the smell—it all smelled like metal.”
Here, the Fulcrum looks at dietary choices, like eating organic, local, and seasonal, and seeks to understand how the snacks and meals we choose impact the world around us.
What do our identities—mine as transgender, femme, Asian, and his as white and cisgender—have to do with it?
The key to making a great X-rated video is to keep it light and simple. Sometimes a blurry clip showing a muffled blow job can be sexy, but let’s just say you’ll want to do your sex acts justice. So what do you need to know?
…they fell short of the Harlequin perfection I had dreamed up.
It is the possibility of falling in love with someone that made me decide to keep my virginity; that day I locked my vagina shut and threw away the key!
I met this guy. If someone had written me a letter listing his credentials, I would’ve said, sounds great, but no thank you. He was, for starters, non-monogamous.
I’m bored with shaved balls and bare vagines. I dare you to get creative with your pubic hair styles—your next hookup will thank me.
Adam enters the room, sighs, kneels at the foot of the couch, and rips Hannah’s bottoms off for her. After begrudgingly putting on a condom, he grabs her waist, pulls her ass towards him, and attempts to initiate anal sex.
After the first hour, though, it really started to pick up, and by the climax right around the three-hour mark I was completely enthralled. And then my girlfriend ruined it
Cindy Gallop gave the Fulcrum the lowdown on her experiences as an entrepreneur, her thoughts on porn, and how you can make 2.5 million bucks doing what (or who) you love.
The Fulcrum partners with Wicked Wanda’s to bring you our reviews and recommendations on porn, playthings, and products.
Recycling bins seem to be everywhere at the University of Ottawa—you can sort and dispose of paper, metals, plastic, and glass on nearly every floor of every building. But what about compost bins?
“Yup, it looks like herpes.”
We asked students to come up with some of the best lessons they picked up in first semester that they plan on carrying into the winter one.
“Ideally, I’d have a PhD, I’d be a professor, my research would be fantastic, it wouldn’t suffer; but I’d also be able to have a family. I’d be married, I’d have children, and somehow my career wouldn’t have to take a hit because I took time off to have a kid—but my family also wouldn’t suffer after I go back to work after giving birth,” she said. “I wonder if it’s really possible to have all of those things.”
The Fulcrum sat down with professors of Aboriginal studies, Aboriginal activists, and students to better understand how Canada’s Aboriginals are currently being marginalized and how universities fit in the bigger picture.
