    Low Carb-High Fat

    I eat a lot less when I eat full fats, too. One is not tempted to eat junk when you had a satisfying whole foods meal. Eating processed foods is one of the greatest risk factors for chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Many mental illnesses can be traced to chemical imbalances...

    Why do I need an excercise "rest day"?

    When you work your body hard, you break down tissue. In order to rebuild this tissue and make it stronger, you need rest days. Without rest, all you do is break down the tissue and eventually injuries will occur. Injuries take time to heal. It is actually faster to just throw in a rest day...

    Breaking Weightloss Plateaus

    Additionally, I like the impact on Alzheimers and overall health. I admit, I usually eat 800 kcal on the fast day in one meal instead of 500 or 6oo kcal. I eat supper the night before around 6:30 pm, get up at 4 am and workout for about an hour. Then I do not eat anything until 6 pm at night. I...

    Anyone have experience with cat urinating outside of box?

    Maybe a second litter box at the other end of the house will do the trick? We adopted a female cat two years ago as a playmate of our senior cat (that notion sounds funny now because the boy and girl do not care much for each other). The husband of the other couple wanted to get rid of her...
