I wear a fitbit charge and love it. I like it better than the fitbit I used to wear on my hip because the charge doesn't use a battery. The battery lasted about 5 months and was not easy to find in the stores near me. Sitting too long is not good. Knowing I am wearing the fitbit encourages me to stand up and move when I…

I enjoy the unsalted roasted pistachio nuts from Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's also has heavy cream that is pure without any chemicals added. Low carbohydrate, high healthy fat ,and high protein is the healthiest diet . It also promotes weight loss with little hunger.

Gluten free is a great diet. Very healthy, and it helps if you need to lose weight. I recommend that you read Wheat Belly by William Davis before you begin. Although the book has some recipes, if you are serious about going gluten free then you should also read the Wheat Belly Cookbook by William Davis. I lost about 13…

The Moosewood recipe books are a great resource for vegetarian cooking. My favorite is called Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special. The recipes are soups and salads. The book also tells you which salads go well with each soup. All of the recipes are simple to make, and taste really good.

I try to make shoveling snow a positive thing by turning it into my exercise for the day. Shoveling snow is a good example of functional fitness. Last storm I shoveled for 1.5 hours without any back pain. All my…

I agree that we eat too much food for the amount of exercise we do. One reason is as you said, there is so much poor quality food available. The government subsidizes farmers to grow corn, so processed foods with corn cost less. That is almost every packaged food because corn syrup is in everything. People with limited…

I think a lot of the answer is how your body works. Due to a high blood lipid problem, I have to eat both low carb and low fat. Low fat means to restrict saturated fats, not all fats. How many servings of carbs to eat each day depends on your activity level, age, health history, and activity level. When setting up my new…

Jillian MIchaels has a DVD called No More Trouble Zones. She has many arm exercises included in these workouts. The entire workout is 45 minutes long, but you can select which circuits you want to do instead of doing the whole thing. Wyou will need a p[air of 3 pound weights. I hope this helps.
