There are very few people who actually should avoid gluten, but the marketing hype has made a lot of people think that gluten is bad for you. It's another silly fad, really, but many buy into it in...

Supper (or dinner to some) became the main meal only in the past 100 years or so. Prior to that, the largest meals were breakfast and lunch. Back then, people needed the energy to get all the work...

Making main meals be breakfast and lunch

I've found that I lose more and feel better when I make breakfast and lunch my two largest meals, and keep to a very light suppertime meal. It only makes sense to me to eat the way you live. You...

Swimming is actually one of the best forms of exercise there is. You get a full body workout but I don't believe there is anything that's lower impact than swimming so your joints are safe.

Exercise helps, but may not ever tighten it back to where it used to be. A lot depends on how much weight you lose and how fast you lose it. The faster you lose, the more loose skin there will be.

Isn't it kind of an oxymoron to take a perfectly good and healthy food and then fry it in oil and cover it with salt to eat it? I believe it also loses some of that nutrition due to the processing.
