Haven't been on my plan all week!
OK, so this week I've completely fallen off the wagon. I have been eating OK...not keeping track of my calories and I only worked out once this week! Yikes! Well, I should say that the reason I haven't been sticking to a strict diet and exercise program is because I'm feeling very ill. The good news is is that it's an…

Fasting
So today is Day 1 of the 30 days of fasting (its religion-based for those who are wandering). I can eat anything I'd like before 5:30am but as soon as 5:30 hits, I have to stop eating & drinking everything - and then its a solid Nothing until about 8pm. So 14hrs of fasting without anything - not even water. So my question…

Fat Belly Diet Cookbook
I bought this book because the recipes looked good. And I assume, because I haven't really checked the book out yet, that they are pretty healthy. I was wondering if anyone has tried this diet and did it work? I actually didn't even know there was a diet plan in the book when I bought it.

What's living in YOUR intestines???
This is not quite the right forum for this, but it is about healthy bodies... At any rate - I just read this disturbing factoid: "By body weight, each of us carries around nearly four pounds of intestinal microflora." EW! Of course if it died we'd be in trouble.
