  • The more you poo, the better you will do

    Now We Get To The Poo – (Not  “Winnie The” ) The weight loss industry is something of an anomaly.

  • How Light Therapy Can Be Used For Weight Loss

    TOO MUCH! TOO MUCH! STOP! Well, I asked for feedback and got it.  The gist from several people I know and love is that the first segment was too long and basically sucked. After going back and re-reading it, I have to agree.  It missed the mark. It wouldn’t have got me started.  So where are…


  • December 31: Twixt and Tween
