Eating in A Whole, New Way

February 13, 2012

Fix these things and lose weight

September 8, 2011

Look, I’m not a nutritionist (yet) but I do possess a degree in common sense. If you’re gaining weight, you’re eating too much. Calories are the culprit.

October 1, 2009

Do you ever wonder how much food you need? I do. All the time. And a lot of times I want more than I need. But how do you really know how much food you need?

You are CEO of Your Body

June 2, 2009

It’s easy to complain about how things are run at work, in the country, even in your home. But before criticizing others, we should take a hard look at how we manage the one thing we have total control over (unless you’re in prison)–what we take in to our body. Here’s a list of food [...]
