Great drink at Starbucks for post workout
If you're anything like me, when you started your weight loss journey, you pretty much kicked Starbucks to the curb. I miss the hell out of White Chocolate Mochas.

Milk impeding loss of fat?
Hey everyone! I've been very fortunate with my weight loss, as I have lost 15 pounds fairly quickly. However, the belly fat, especially my love handles, aren't disappearing. I've been trying to isolate the issue, and lately I've had doubts about all of the milk I drink. I drink Fairlife milk (about 4 cups a day at least),…
