How happy I am to get so much feedback regarding The China Study. Today I will be spending some time rereading some of the parts that were particularly interesting to me. I sort of curse the spirit of Dr. Atkins for making people think if some protein is good, more must be better. With the entire day off from work, I plan on a long walk/run with Blaze, some P90x yoga and … [Read more...] about It’s Brunch for Dinner

I was actually amazed at the numbers on the scale for almost everyone! Even the twins who were still huge, took off big numbers from their original … [Read more...] about And What About…
