Are You Drinking Enough Water?

October 17, 2009 By Biggi View Comments

I don't think I ever drank plain water growing up. I mostly drank milk and juices. This seems so strange to me now. You might have grown up the same way and it is now really hard for you to form the habit of drinking water. Well, first off you might wonder why you should care. Why would you want to drink water? It's no secret that a large part of our body is made up of water. So obviously, if the body consists of water, it needs water, just like it needs all the other nutrients it consists of or needs for energy production. Most people that don't drink enough water are in a constant state … [Read more...]

July 30, 2009 By Biggi View Comments

Are you looking to get more fiber into your diet? Think it has to taste awful? Think again!Here's a quick meal I put together that's bursting with fiber, protein, and good taste. All it takes is three simple ingredients: 2 high-fiber, low-carb tortillas (found at Walmart), About half a can of black beans and brown rice (found at the local health-food store), And a couple of tablespoons of hardwood smoked pulled pork (found at Costco). No cooking involved (pork came cooked and was prepared in microwave). Just pop into your microwave, roll up, and Voila! A quick, delicious and wholesome meal. … [Read more...]

Why Not To Focus On Your Meal

March 27, 2009 By Biggi View Comments

Traditionally we are told that we should be free of any distractions while eating, so that we can focus on what and how much we are eating, notice when we are full, and properly digest our food. I personally eat very slowly, chew my food thoroughly, and oftentimes put my utensils down between bites. I would consider that a healthy way of eating. However, I usually am not that focused or free from distractions when I eat. Now I've tried eating free of distractions, but what happened was that I would finish my meal in record time. I would eat bite after bite without putting my silverware down and … [Read more...]

December 13, 2008 By Biggi View Comments

Why should I cleanse or detoxify my body? Toxins are in our environment, our foods, even in our minds, and eventually collect in our bodies. There they can: cause inflammation, make us feel sluggish, cause bloating and headaches, prevent us from being able to lose weight, and even cause serious illness like heart disease and cancer. How do I go about freeing my body from toxins? To successfully detoxify your body, you must approach it in several ways: cleaning up your diet from processed foods, sugar, and caffeine or fasting, stress-relief in the form of breathing and meditation exercises … [Read more...]

MedWell123 – The Diet Is Dead: Long Live The Latest Fad

September 24, 2008 By Biggi View Comments

With statements like "healthy comfort foods" and "easy weight loss", you'd have to be stupid to buy into this latest fad - MedWell123. The patented process they claim to use to bake their goods alone scares the hell out of me. Has this been tested on rats? I hate to break it to you, but weight loss is not easy, and diet alone does not work in the long-term. All diets work short-term, none are a solution to the ever growing obesity problem. "Oh darn, you mean I actually have to eat real food (the ones you are supposed to add to the MedWell123 diet) like fresh vegetables … [Read more...]
