    nice article!
    i like the bit about eating after 7- i've heard though that if you dont eat after 7 it can help people who are leptin resistant become more leptin sensitive. not sure how not eating after 7 would do this mind you, i mean what if your like me and wake up at 1 in the afternoon :)

    I heart everyone, but the bonus is wrong.
    There are benefits to all alcoholic beverages, but there are some in red wine (the presence of polyphenols) that are not in white wine, beer or hard liqour.
    Likewise, unpasteurized beer contains protein and folate from the presence of live yeast, which the rest do not contain.

    Also:
    Hard liqour is beneficial in maintaining a healthy sex life for young adults (HA!), and helping to weed out weak and dying brain cells.

    I agree with almost all of this, especially the water part! :P

    However, it still has on myth in there, the "eat smaller meals more often" thing. Even thoogh this report is "science" , far more "science" has disproved this. It says if you skip one meal , you body goes into starvation mode, which simply is not true. It takes days for your body to go into starvation mode, not hours.

    Great post Jovia!!

    I use my wooden cutting board for everything. All those chefs can't be wrong!

    I stopped buying ALL low fat and reduced fat foods about a year ago now.... so many of those foods are filled with chemicals and tons of sodium to make up for what they took away.

    I just love that you have Jesse from Breaking Bad on your ticker!

    I had to take a break from that show, it was getting too intense and emotionaly draining. It means they have fantastic writers but it was really bringing me down. Is that weird?

    Are you kidding?
    I bawled for a good 20 minutes ...like all out sobbing...when Jesse's gf Jane died.
    I had to pause for it and everything.

    The show has made me sit on the edge of my seat and clench my fists and jaw every episode.

    Oh, totally! And his spiral down after?! I just wanted to hug him so much.

    There is no humor in that show at all.

    Walter is getting super creepy too.

    I missed the season finale last night and saw a spoiler on twitter. I actually screamed at the person who posted it cuz they were in a list that I thought had no fans of the show lol
