How do YOU know you are on your "A-Game?"
For me, I know I'm on my A-Game when I am totally focused and I don't battle myself with temptation. I know I'm on my A-Game when I go to a movie and don't even care to eat snacks or dip into popcorn. How do YOU know you are on your A-Game?????

Anyone? It's all about eating low glycemic index foods to reduce inflammatory in the body. Supported by high profile docs such as Dr. Andrew Weil and Nicholas Perricone.

Low glycemic index eating/anti-inflammatory eating really is my best approach to health and well-being. Anyone else out there in MFP land committed to this approach?
