I am going home to visit family for 5 days. I tend to drink a lot more with my brothers and eat way worse. I am thinking about doing a cleanse.

Not Eating Enough Vegetables
Hello, all!! I was just hit with the cruel reality that I do not eat nearly enough vegetables in a week. It is a frequent habit to not eat any vegetables in a day.

breakfast...the most unhealthiest meal of the day..
Ok folks here are the stats... forty four percent of us eat breakfast, yet 2/3's of americans are obese. Hmmm yet we keep hearing that breakfast is the "most important meal of the day".

Low BF% unhealthy?
Leaving all the 'what if you are stuck in the woods and have no food' garbage in the dark, is there a point it is unhealthy? When is it? What are the health problems associated with it?
