Taubes strikes again!
Posted by redheadlaw7 on January 6th, 2012
I know so many people out there can not stand Gary Taubes and his nutritional extremist views but he gives a response to the NY Times article I just recently posted about “The Fat Trap” that makes pretty damn good sense.

Well, I had my first checkup in six months and it was such an incredible feeling to sit there beaming and in good health. My blood pressure was up a bit so we went through my list of supplements to see what may have been wrong. It turns out that my arm and shoulder workout [...]
Ten myths…BUSTED!
Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 30th, 2011
It’s a rarity when I can skim through an article claiming to be chalk full of fat loss and diet tricks without red flags going up or an eye being rolled because there really is a TON of misinformation out there. But my husband, who works with one of the folks quoted in the article, [...]
