8 Weeks to optimum health challenge
I am going to do the 8 weeks to optimum health plan from Dr Anrew Weil. Anyone want to join, I volunteer to lead and weekly post an outline of what the program says one should do. The focus is not weight loss but better health over all. I think I need to take my mind off weight loss as a primary goal for a few weeks.

For years I have noticed if I weight myself on the way to bed, and then weigh myself immediately after I get up no bathroom trip I weight 1-4 pounds less. Is this water…

MALE or FEMALE Has anyone shaved their head to start a diet?
I did two days ago, not fully shaved, thought about it but seemed like a challenge, so cut it 1/8 inch long. Had it bleach so cut it down to the brown roots. Seemed like a new start and a way to start what is probably going to be a year or so weight loss trek. Has anyone else felt compelled to do this? not that Im…

Back but not your typical challenge

So my challenge for the rest of the month is to lose 8 pounds, about 2 per week, since the first week is done. This is open to anyone that wants to join me and if enough people want to Ill make a group. The diet rules are as…

What is water weight?
I always hear people talk about that drastic loss in the first week and that it is water weight, why would you lose water, where is it kept, I just dont understand this concept at all? If a person is dhydrated and starts drinking more and loses weight how can it be water weight?

fat free milk that claims to taste like 2%
I have purchased these products in the past, skim milk that claims to taste like 2% or 1% that tastes like whole milk, they do taste better, not like higher fat milk, just different, maybe sweeter, more like condensed milk. What is the premise behind these milks, how do they work and why do they taste different?
