Yin and Yang for the Health of It
Most people focus on keeping calories and fat low or one particular aspect of how a food affects your health (eating fish will help prevent a heart attack). While this is true, my philosophy expands on this to include more of an oriental medicine, yin and yang approach in the sense that balancing other foods with the fish will help build superior heart health and added nutrients for the rest of your body.

Say Yay-Yo for Low-Carb Mayo
Wait, isn’t Mayonaise already Low-Carb? Actually, for the most part it is indeed!

We Bought The Farm
First off, I’d like to thank The Older Brother for once again taking over the sandbox while I was tied up with moving. It’s fun to read the Fat Head blog and laugh out loud for a change. (I don’t laugh while writing, or while reading what I’ve written.) I’d also like to thank him ...
