Try mountain biking shorts.

Welcome! Scary stuff. I like the approach of making a personal plea. Too often we are seen as obstacles to cars getting from point A to B instead of people. I try make a personal connection rather than confrontation. Strangely I seem to be having the problem where drivers give me too wide a berth to the point where they…

Green Coffee Bean capsules are just extracts of the bean in a capsule form. I've never been one to take diet supplements, but thought I would give this a try. Dr. Oz had a nutritionist on that raved about it. It's decaffeinated so won't keep you up at night. So far so good.

Visceral fat is definitely the bad guy and he's a real ba$tard to get rid of. Most accurate visceral fat measure will be with an MRI. But we have an Omron scale that measures visceral fat (among other things- highly recommended!). I avoided the stupid thing for about a few years because I knew the answer was not going to…
