12/8 Excellent article in tennis magazine about nutrition
Surprisingly though it doesn't even mention gluten as anyone who follows tennis knows that Novak Djokovic became gluten free before his stellar 2011 season and there is a lot of evidence about increasing gluten sensitivity and its impact on inflammation. Still a very well written article with a lot of good information!…

Pants for "thick waisted" women

For instance with food I have eaten and planned I have 505 calories left, 5 grams carb, 14 grams fat and 65 grams protein.
