The most accurate way to measure body

A simple, tasty pumpkin holiday treat (or anytime)
I personally see nothing wrong with having a small slice of pumpkin pie from time to time. But, if you want to have something with few calories and little fat on hand to satisfy that pumpkin craving without the calories, give this a go. It's really very good and I eat it year round. It's very simple. If I can make it, it's…

Best scales to use on carpet
My house is fully carpeted - even the kitchen. I hate that but can't do much about it. My scales are on a soda box (one of those wooden ones) on the carpet but are still not too consistent.

Daily sugar intake
Every day I'm usually within my limits of everything except sugar. Seems like everything (including soup and milk) has sugar. My allowance is 28 if memory serves and I'm generally over by about 14 or 15. I'm not eating much in the way of sweets right now. I use sugar substitutes. I know sugar is a big problem for most of…

Studies show that people who exercise with high intensity burn not only immediate calories but they continue to burn calories up to 24 hours later. To get the extra calorie-burning benefits, the workout needs to be intense enough that you're sweating, your body temperature is up and your heart beats fast. Moderate…
