Whole 30 - have you heard of or tried?
One of my training coaches has suggested that I follow the Whole 30 eating plan. From what I have learned so far, it is a 30 day program where you eat nothing but "whole" foods with absolutely no additives for 30 days. If you slip up, say have a glass of wine or eat bread, you start the 30 days over. Seems incredibly…

Zaggora Hot Pants?
Anyone heard of or tried the Zaggora Hot Pants? Looks like they purposely keep you warmer/hotter during a workout to burn more calories. Am I the only one who think that sounds odd? Their tag line is "Get hot and slim with hotpants"

I've seen several suggestion of adding protein powder to coffee...and I thought, why not? FAIL. I added half a scoop and added hot coffee. I couldn't get the powder to dissolve, so I'm chewing my coffee. Any tips for me?

Tips to reducing carbs?
I thought I was doing a good job reducing carbs and increasing protein, but those pesky macros show otherwise. I avoid breads and pastas, but do start my day with the Quaker Weight Loss oatmeal (a bowl has 7g protein). I also tend to have one protein bar a day, so I get the good and the bad at the same time. I'd like to…

Best options at a hibachi restaurant?
My daughter's birthday is today and she has requested the local hibachi restaurant. (A Japanese steakhouse where they cook the food on the table in front of you.) Since I'm trying to be really conscience about what I'm eating, I'm hoping for some ideas on the healthiest way to order. I'm particularly concerned about the…
