DIETING AND WEIGHT LOSS...               Let’s face it — there’s an overwhelming amount of information on the Internet about how to quickly shed pounds and get in shape. If you’re looking for the best tips on how to lose weight and keep it off, this seemingly endless amount of advice can be overwhelming and confusing. From the diets promoting raw foods to meal plans that revolve around shakes and prepackaged foods, a new fad diet seems to pop up every day. The problem is, although very restrictive diets and elimination meal plans will most likely result in short-term weight loss, most people can’t maintain them and end up throwing in the towel within a few weeks.

Ketogenic Diet 101: One enduring buzzword to hit the diet world seems to be “keto” — referring to the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet. With claims that you can eat all the fat you want, never feel hungry again, and even boost your athletic performance, the diet  promises something for everyone. But what exactly is the ketogenic diet, and is the weight loss program right for you? Let’s take a closer look before you attempt to make over your eating habits and lifestyle.

  D ear Investor,   I’m writing this letter to dispel a popular myth: Many investors believe it’s already too late to make a lot of money with Bitcoin.   Nothing could be further from the truth.   Here's why: The incredible story of how I missed the boat on Bitcoin, still got rich, and how you can do the same...   CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION So I decided to buy a few bitcoins just in case it was for real and would go on to become successful.   After all, one bitcoin was  worth just a few cents ...   So I went online to see where I could buy some.   But there was a problem.   There was no marketplace to buy or sell bitcoin.

  DIETING & FITNESS What is a healthy diet? Eating a healthy diet is not about strict limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and boosting your mood. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be overly complicated. If you feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there, you’re not alone. It seems that for every expert who tells you a certain food is good for you, you’ll find another saying exactly the opposite. The truth is that while some specific foods or nutrients have been shown to have a beneficial effect on mood, it’s your overall dietary pattern that is most important. The cornerstone of a healthy diet should be to replace processed food with real food whenever possible. Eating food that is as close as possible to the way nature made it can make a huge difference to the way you think, look, and feel. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON DIETING...

More fat? No fat? While I’m not a fan of trendy diets, I am a fan of eating the right foods to give us the fuel we need to stay healthy. As we get older, our bodies’ needs change. So, it’s important to make sure we’re getting the right balance of nutrients. Here are my top recommendations. Calcium and Vitamin D Drink your milk. Surely, you’ve heard this some point in your life. Well, as you age, it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones strong.

Another way to get vitamin D is to get some sun. Not...
