Eating Healthy Creates a Quality Life
Posted by: | CommentsEverything in the Universe is influenced by energy. It powers every living organism. Death is certainly the expiration of the bodies ability to sustain life. Our quality of life is often measured by our energy to enjoy and produce.
How do we get energy? Many people manipulate their energy to get more and to get it balanced. When brain waves are in perfect harmony we have flow which is our peak performance state.
When brain waves are too slow, we feel the need to pick them up with stimulants. When they are too fast and we feel anxious we feel the need to slow them down with depressants.
Nature provides the perfect energy tonics in natural food and exercise. Together they can provide maximum energy and mellowed nervous systems. Foods have vibrational qualities and natural food provides the highest energy. Processed foods have low vibrations and can dissipate energy.
Natural food builds the immune system so we don’t get sick. Healthy eating and exercise should prevent chronic illnesses that might arise from inflammation, nutrient starvation, or failure to eliminate free radicals.
Free radicals are short an electron and look to healthy cells to rob them of their balance and value. Foods high in anti oxidants throw extra electrons to the free radicals to neutralize them and preserve cell energy. Getting enough fruits and vegetables supports this process.
If you want a better life, work with what you’ve got. Feeling good beats most anything.

I continue to write on behalf of the less fortunate that don’t have the choices we have. Most of our problems are first world problems like I don’t feel like cooking. In the third world they don’t have water or nutritious food. They don’t even have wood for a fire and have to collect it everyday. 
A few dollars would help provide clean water for the billion people who wake up with out it. Charity Water.org has over 6185 projects in place to help those that need us. They want to have first world problems but were born into desperate straits.

Selecting the Right Foods for Energy and Health
Posted by: | CommentsIt seems that in most situations if we were given the opportunity for pleasure or pain, we would choose pleasure. The problem with food is the devil is at work. He masquerades the pain foods to look like pleasure. We eat all those fast foods, sugars, fried foods, fats, and refined products thinking how great they taste.
Then we buy larger clothes, get sick often, die if we run a quarter mile, have stomach problems and always need more energy. Later we start taking lots of pills to fend off the body process of dying from heart disease, cancer and other maladies.
To live long and healthy we can look at some of the cultures on earth that are living past 100 and not ever suffering disease. They eat what comes out of the ground and their food does not go to a factory and come back in a box, can, package, or dispenser. If your food comes from one of these containers, there is a problem already.
Food has a vibrational quality that transfers the energy from the natural process of eating plant life or sea life to sustain human functioning. The closer you get to the basic life forms, the more energy and health you get.
As soon as a factory gets in between, you lose the basic nutritional value. So think of your next meal and ask yourself whether the ingredients are Natural or did they go someplace for processing first?

To my surfing and website creation activities I and my daughters are devoting time to raising awareness and hopefully money for the billion people who wake up with no water. When they go to collect it, it is polluted. They get sick and many babies die. Girls don’t go to school.
My daughter, Alex, right has been to Uganda and knows how these beautiful children need our help.
We need to get people off the bottom to make it a better world. The shadow economy of people struggling like in Bangladesh is actually the fastest growing part of the world economy. Its projected to be in the trillions. They borrow each others cell phones and pay a fee. They splice into electric lines and run their appliances. They live in tin and cardboard shacks. As people become consumers, it creates jobs all over the world.
But nothing progresses without water. Its responsible for 80% of the world’s sickness. It takes more time to gather water than to collect firewood and cook.
Even a $1 or $5 helps drill a well. A well gives up to 250 people clean water. Charity Water had 6185 projects in place as of January. People are helping. Every drop is precious.

Healthy Eating Promotes Quality Living
Posted by: | CommentsWe are in a mad dash for no where. Everyday is often madness for a large percentage of the population. It is a never ending treadmill. It has become more so since the melt down melted everyone’s cushion.
That which we thought was under control, turned out not to be. In fact, the one thing we can control maybe the most important. We can control how we feel. If we feel great, we might even tell people we are happy.
The number one ingredient to feeling great is what we put in our mouths. The more natural the input, the more connected the output. When we eat like the animals, we start feeling as vital as the animals. Health lifts our physical condition and our spirit.
Eating healthy puts our body in an alkaline state. This state builds immunity which resists sickness and then disease. Healthy food increases our ease of digestion which allows more energy to our brain. As our body rids itself of fat, the neurons in our brain have more fuel to be creative.
Now if we could add some exercise to burn muscle, our body would be able to perform in the perfect mode for which it was created. We are built to be powerful, energetic, spirited machines.

What Healthy Eating Does
Posted by: | CommentsIt turns your life around. The most common issue I see is that people eat a few carrots during the day and classify themselves as healthy eaters. The term healthy eating is as nebulous as “natural”. 
Food manufacturers of meat and produce have grabbed the term natural because consumers think it is good.You have to read the labels. I like meat without hormones nor anti-biotics. If animals are fed on grains, they will need anti-biotics. What happens to animals in a few months happens to humans, but we call it heart disease, cancer, diabetes, colds, lethargy, and obesity.
You want to avoid foods that need to be encapsulated in fat because the body doesn’t recognize them. It does this to protect your organs. If you starve yourself to lose weight, your body thinks you are dying. It will hold on to food. If you eat food that comes out of the ground and clean lean meat, the body thinks you are prospering and lets go of food encapsulated in fat.
You become lean. I lost 45 pounds in 4 years and I never starved. I eat a lot. I like to eat frequently in small portions. Several dietary approaches say you should balance the carbohydrates and protein in each meal. I may surf an hour to hour and a half a day and so I need carbohydrates for fuel and protein for recovery.
Digestion requires a lot of energy and blood. Smaller portions result in greater mental energy because the brain is getting the oxygen available in your body. Mental energy is necessary for coping with stress, being creative, and building your influence in the world.
As you get lean, your self esteem improves. The discipline of eating healthy increases your capability of accomplishing other tasks. Healthy eating is mind control. When you can control your mind, you have your most powerful weapon for accomplishing goals.
Eliminating bad foods is the real test. If you cut down on sugar (high fructose) and unbleached flower, you would eliminate 75% of the bad foods you eat. Read the labels. Restaurants are trouble. If it comes out of a box or can, it maybe trouble. If it grows, it is good in its natural state.
Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, seasonings, herbs, plus water and fish oil.
Happiness is a small bum.

Is Natural a Food Definition?
Posted by: | CommentsSometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. The food industry has adopted the word because it has a favorable connotation with consumers. 
It could generally mean food that has not been processed in a factory. Organic may be a more specific definition when speaking of produce. Organic and natural are the same but organic would mean food was not sprayed with harmful insecticides. Local farmers tell me they use fertilizers and sprays approved as non harmful and still call foods organic.
Meat is a much different story. It would be immoral to call animals raised in factory type conditions in closed spaces and mostly on grain, natural. They are also given hormones to speed up the growth process and then anti-biotics because of the problem incurred from close quarters and eating only grains.
Some meat producers start adding the term natural if they, for instance, give otherwise closed up chickens a door to the outside to feed on a square patch of grass. The term then gets very general when applied to those who raise animals by feeding mostly on grass in outdoor and pasture environments.
They want to include the word natural because of the good connotation and acceptance. Their animals may be fed on grass when there is no snow and then often fattened up and tenderized with grain at the end of the harvest. Even animal producers will say that beef or other meats raised entirely on grass does not taste as good to the average consumer.
So fully grass fed animals are called natural and growers who give their animals access to grass sometimes will call their meat natural. If you are particular, you have to investigate the details. Websites for natural meats will be very explicit.
Animal types that are frequently grown by small producers and raised natural, grass fed, and organically are beef, buffalo, goat, venison, lamb, and chickens. These producers will talk about land sustainability by not using pesticides or fertilizers that will get into the water system. They also point out that animals are humanely handled and harvested as opposed to some brutal factory processes.
A typical advertisement for natural grass fed meat is found on this buffalo site which claims its beef is (http://wildideabuffalo.com/?gclid=CJfasMbHhK4CFaYaQgodCznX2Q)
• 100% grass-fed only
• 100% antibiotic & hormone free
• 100% free roaming
• 100% non-confined
• 100% humanely field harvested
These natural meats are availabe to anyone, but the costs are greatly increased by the specialized dry ice shipping and containers required. It becomes more economical when you can order half an animal. In some communities these grass fed animals are ordered by local markets and restaurants.

Our Obligation to Natural Food
Posted by: | CommentsIf you eat naturally meaning a lot of food that comes out of the ground, you are getting the best Nature, God, or the Universe can provide. This food and Mother Nature gave its all while growing to create the hundreds of ingredients that can benefit and help make any animal or living being perform at their peak performance.
It would be good karma to acknowledge that in picking these foods you are thankful for the opportunity to build your own body at the sacrifice of another living thing. Killing plants is not considered inhumane, but you realize that they were picked so that you could eat them.
Acknowledging that this food has been provided for your sustenance helps you identify your connection to nature and the earth. We all must flourish and grow stronger. It is part of the design of nature as stated by Darwin that we are in a struggle for survival of the fittest.
It would be great if we used the energy derived from these natural ingredients to give back. The ancients said that God can only give and man can only receive. But we know that after we have recognized that we have received, we sometimes want to give back. We want to make a contribution to the community. We want to help our fellow man.
Just having the bounty of nourishing food that can make us strong should help us appreciate the circle of life. We’re born, we’re nourished, we have the right to pursue happiness, and we die. Gratitude is one of the fine ingredients of living a happy life.

Healthy Eating is the Ultimate Discipline
Posted by: | CommentsEating serves so many purposes. Most people don’t restrict it to the main purpose.
The main purpose would be to get the fuel and recovery we need for burning muscle from strenuous exercise. When man was created, he had the need to survive like all animals by foraging and hunting. He needed lots of pure energy.
He got this energy by eating foods that were available in the ground and that ran around on four feet. Everything was clean and pure. Your body’s needs have not changed. We have only changed our activities.
We have also changed the reasons we eat. We no longer eat just to survive. We eat to handle our emotions. We eat food our body doesn’t recognize. We eat what is cheap and not just what is pure. Our body gets confused and our body gets sick and breaks down.
Few things are more difficult than eating what we need and what is good for us. The result of disciplined eating is more energy all day, better health, longer lives, better performance, more active brains, and happier dispositions.
The discipline of healthy eating can lead to better discipline in other phases of our lives.

Eating Just Half Has Surprise Results
Posted by: | CommentsWe are used to cleaning our plate. I always marveled how my daughter as an adolescent would push away her plate with food on it and say I am full. Not many adults can do that. I have learned to do it and there are a few nice surprises.
I cook most of my meals and it is easy to just take half of what I cook. If needed, I can always access the rest. But what I find is that after ten minutes, what I ate fills me fine. I can eat the rest later. I also feel better eating less. Eating less maintains more blood circulating in the body to bring blood and oxygen to the brain instead of to the digestive process.
Since I write a lot during the day, I want to feel mentally energized without having to resort to coffee. If you have mentally taxing work, stressful work, or even work involving exercise, less food makes you more productive. The key is to eat less but eat more often.
Many people will say that is not possible. There are all kinds of small snacks that can be appealing, satisfying, and energizing. Fruit, nuts and raisins, cheese, peanuts, and lots of water are good appeasers and energizers.
When hungry or tired reach for a few glasses of water first. Our early man body was used to getting water from food and thinks it still can. Therefore, hunger is often a false signal. Tiredness can often be abated by increasing our blood and oxygen supply, which water does immediately. It increases our blood volume.
Athletic coaches want athletes to hydrate before events to increase blood volume and oxygen.
Eating less than you want is great discipline. The most powerful asset you possess is controlling your mind. Living disciplined, focusing on tasks, pushing the envelope by taking risks, living in gratitude, being kind to others are all exercises in mind control.

Do You Understand Your Diet?
Posted by: | CommentsOur first thought about food is “I’m hungry”. Then depending on where you are, you look for the best appetite appeaser. If you are at home you try to think of what you have in the refrigerator and what sounds good. If you are at work or on the road you wonder what is the most convenient and maybe least expensive option.
The third thought that gets you in trouble is what would make me really happy since everything else today is causing me so much stress. This is where we go for the happy foods. The happy foods is why medicare is too big a part of our budget and why people really are not healthy when they hit the golden years at 60.
The person who understands how to stay healthy plans in advance. What do I need to put in my body each day and how will I get it? It’s a much different perspective and planning process. I know I will need breakfast, lunch and dinner tomorrow. Where will I be at each of those times? What foods will be available?
I know that tomorrow I need grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and protein. I want to avoid sugars, flour, bad fats, and maybe dairy. I have to plan ahead. I will go to the market and buy all the foods I should have this week. I will either plan to make them at home, carry some with me, or eat the same foods when I am out and about.
I must plan to avoid the bad foods with the same vigor I need to guarantee I have the good foods. Tonight should I watch TV after a rough day or go shopping for the good food I need over the next couple of days?
It’s really that simple.

Why Should Health Be Our First Priority?
Posted by: | CommentsIt is one of the nation’s most debated topics. It is responsible for too large a portion of the federal budget which means the budget of every citizen. We ask why is health so expensive and what can be done about it.
It has become as large an economic issue for families as a life style issue. Most families can’t afford to need a doctor or hospital. The consequences of serious illness can be bankruptcy. Injuries usually can’t be avoided, but mild sickness, disease, organ, and structural deterioration can often be avoided.
What we need is more focus on prevention. One of the major causes of deterioration other than inherited congenital defects is inflammation. Inflammation thrives in acidic based blood supplies. Inflammation is prevented by eating natural foods and meats and exercising to burn muscle.
Anti oxidants help destroy the free radicals in our bodies that cause the break down of important organs like our brains and our eyes and make us vulnerable to cancer. Anti oxidants are found in natural food that grows out of the ground.
We have become dependent on food from boxes, cans, and restaurants. These foods are made to taste good to our corrupted palettes. They are not created to build immunity and prevent disease. We need to get used to foods that are not heavily invested in salt, sugar, flour, and fats.
Obesity could be greatly contained if we just dropped sugar and bleached flour from out diets. Inflammation could be reduced if we burned muscle every day with exercise. Free radicals could be reduced by eating lot of green vegetables including garlic, onion, brocolli, kale, parsely, and dandelion.
Jonny Bowden’s book “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth” would be a great place to start for creating a healthy diet. See it in Resources. Each week we should eliminate the most harmful food in our diet and add a healthy food until we are eating 85% healthy.

How to Include 5 Healthy Foods in Your Diet
Posted by: | CommentsNatural News in an article touts 5 super foods that are anti inflammatory and strong anti-oxidant. These are two characteristics you want to stress in your daily diet.
Your body produces inflammation naturally on a daily basis. It also gathers free radicals from the environment. If you don’t eliminate them, they lead to debilitating functionality. They lead to dementia, poor eye sight, heart disease, and cancer. Do you need more?
Eating natural foods and getting exercise eliminate both. Animals rarely suffer from dementia or heart disease. There are many cultures in existence that also don’t suffer these maladies and members live to be active to 100 years old.
If you want to create a diet with anti-oxidants and inflammation fighting super foods, you should read Johnny Bowden’s book “150 Healthiest Foods on Earth”. I started my health drive with this book by picking eight foods to include in my diet. I also started eliminating bad foods.
In the Natural News article they list 5 foods that are helpful:
Mustard, Raisins, Nuts, Seasonings, Cole slaw (Cabbage)
Mustard helps fight migraines for which a surprising number of people suffer. Raisins and nuts have anti oxidants as do cabbage and many spices.
In the mornings I have a fruit bowl of apples, bananas, peanuts, raisins, with flax seeds and a half bowl of oat meal. I eat my oat meal dry because I don’t eat dairy. If you put fruit on it or a little syrup (pardon the sugar) it becomes delicious. I add cinnamon and raisins to my oat meal.
I mix mustard in my tuna mix for my wraps. I include tuna, lemon pepper, brown mustard, zucchini, onions, and tomatoes. (notice no mayonnaise). Then I wrap it in wheat tortilla for a great wrap. This is also portable if you want to take it to work.
I put cabbage in my soups. Cabbage and kale are on top of Johnny Bowden’s list of 150 powerful foods as cancer fighters. My soups are meals in themselves. I use three types of beans, brown rice, yams, potatoes, celery, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, kale (when I have it), red peppers, turmeric, and chicken bouillon cubes.
These three meals are great for energy, weight loss, and immune system development. Because of my exercise and recovery needs, I include meat. I eat it in small 3 to 4 ounce portions and have a small steak in the morning with and egg and put a broiled hamburger at night on top of spaghetti with vegetables or on top of brown rice with vegetables.
This is also a very inexpensive diet. Notice there are no canned and few processed foods, no dairy, no sodas, no french fries, no sweet rolls, no bread, and little sugar. Being a dessert freak, I have to admit I make brownies or banana walnut muffins to keep me alive.
An Ideal Meal
Posted by: | CommentsGet your protein, vegetables, grains, and anti-oxidants in low calorie, low fat combination.
It is a bowl of meat, vegetables, rice and beans.
I use packaged brown rice and black beans that have to be boiled for about twenty minutes. I boil the brown rice and black beans in separate pots because the black bean water turns the rice black. When I make soup, I might cook them together.
Then I broil a 3 to 4 ounce piece of chuck roast. You can use anything you like. The roast is low fat and I buy meat without anti-biotics or hormones.
I brown garlic and onions in olive oil in a frying pan. Then I add zucchini, broccoli, peppers, and tomatoes. Feel free to add as many vegetables as you like. I season with red pepper, seasoning salt, and pepper.
I mix the black beans and rice and put at the bottom of my bowl. I add my vegetable mixture and then top with my small steak.
Not only is it pretty and delicious with all sorts of tastes mixed in, but it is nutritious and sustaining; makes a great dinner or lunch.
If you are physically active, you will find this is great for fuel and recovery. I now try to surf twice a day and need lots of nutrition and can do it without lots of calories. I have a small portion of meat twice a day and have beans and rice often three times a day.
I have stopped using my protein powders and amino acid supplements to see if I can provide my recovery with better nutrition. If you are a non meat eater, you might not like this routine. If you are a meat eater, a total of 8 ounces a day in two meals is not very extreme. The broiling seems to take the fat out.
I find that I feel better than ever. I usually try to get some grains in my diet with 10 grain cereal and whole grain bread. I also have two or three portions of fruit bowls a day where I combine apples, bananas, peanuts, raisins, flax seed, and maybe a small spoon of peanut butter.
I make a vegetable soup that has a few more ingredients than the above dinner and can have that as a lunch, afternoon snack, or even after dinner snack. Even if you are not physically active, you could probably lose weight on this diet. There is no sugar, no fat, no bleached flour, no processed foods, and no restaurant foods.
Are Peak Success and Fitness Tied Together?
Posted by: | CommentsYou don’t see many successful politicians or high tech gurus that are fat.
Is it the public image they want to avoid, the discipline that pervades all their habits, their own concept of leanness and self worth, the acceptance of the value and necessity of health and fitness to enjoy a fruitful life?
When you see people that are fat or overweight you subconsciously figure they drink or they are emotional eaters. Any one who has a lot of sugar in their diet by consuming soda, alcohol, or processed foods will be over weight.
Hamburgers and pizza by themselves will not make you over weight. A hamburger without the bun can be a healthy meal. A pizza with vegetables is also a healthy choice and can be a good support for strenuous exercise.
However, if you add fries, cokes, or beer, you are adding the foods that make you body absorb the calories from the food and turn them into fat.
The reason goes back to the times of early man. In geologic time and evolution, we are still early man. The forager/hunter did not have any sugar in his diet. He ate 30 or 40 plant items and as much meat as he could kill.
The body uses sugar to determine how much you have eaten. Because meat and plants do not have much sugar, the body would regulate a little insulin and digestive juices and enzymes to take care of the meals. It would not store the calories as fat.
A coke or beer tells the bodies sugar measuring device that you have just eaten a moose. It pumps out enough toxic digestive juices and insulin to digest a very big meal, Then it ravenously stores all the calories. It doesn’t recognize the non natural foods, so it encapsulates them in fat.
It doesn’t take long for the fat to build around your middle and thighs. That is why after a year at college, freshman are usually twenty pounds heavier. The only thing that changed in their diet was the beer and late night pizzas. The sedentary part adds to the problem but is not the cause.
Once you are an adult, the fat shows you have emotional problems you can’t release or you are a real unhealthy food junkie. This type of tell sign makes it difficult to get the respect from business prospects you would like to impress or from constituents you would like to vote for you. We don’t need to discuss attraction to the opposite sex.
When you look in the mirror are you proud or do you repeat for the millionth time that you need to take off a few pounds? Are you the only one that notices? How much of your self esteem is tied to the fact you can’t control what you eat or drink?
A healthy natural diet could set off an avalanche of great new outcomes. Start by eliminating the worst offenders. Then find good substitutes. If you give yourself a few years to take out the bad and put in the good, you will have a whole new image in the mirror.
Habits That Make You Fat
Posted by: | CommentsWe tend to see things in generalities rather than detail.
We might generalize that we are over weight, have trouble keeping weight off, or can’t for the life of us take off that ten pounds. We accept that the extra weight is just the result of what we do during the day to stay alive.
In a great slide show, an article from Men’s Health printed in MSN.com by Dave Zinczenko lays out 20 different little habits that accumulate to add extra pounds. What to avoid is important for losing those pounds, but when confronted with a long list we are likely to pick and choose.
The list includes the usual habits such as drinking soda, eating too late at night, and ordering combo meals. It also has some tips about choosing smaller plates, don’t face the buffet table, don’t eat the freebies on the table at restaurants, and don’t hang out with fat friends.
It results in slapping your hand for all your violations but doesn’t set out a plan for being proactive and avoiding the bad habits. Results come from eating natural foods and avoiding most combinations of ingredients that come in packages or are prepared in a restaurant. You don’t choose bad ingredients, they are included in the foods you do choose.
You don’t choose fructose or fried fats but they are included in soda, fries, chips, and other foods we crave. Breaking cravings is not easy. It has to be done a step at a time. I lost 45 pounds over four years by selecting the most harmful foods and finding a substitute. I still do that.
The first substitution doesn’t always have to be healthy. If you are addicted to something harmful like ice cream after dinner, find something that you would like just as much and start eating it. After a week move to something more healthy and the habit is then probably broken.
I have found over the years that my healthiest meals are prepared at home. Then I have 100% choice of ingredients. If I have to eat out, then I would have my breakfast and dinner at home and just have to find the best alternative for lunch.
Evolving to a diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, protein, and good fats becomes the food we crave. This means fruit and hot grain cereal or eggs for breakfast; salads soups, chicken, tuna or even spaghetti for lunch; soups, salads, spaghetti, meat, and vegetables for dinner. If your diet is 85% on target, your body will start to release the harmful foods you have eaten that it has encapsulated in fat.
When you start dropping those pounds and inches you become more enthusiastic. You don’t ever have to starve. You can eat all day if you are eating natural non calorie foods. You can drink water and green tea in between and feel satiated and they keep your mouth busy.
If you want to accelerate the process and build your health, add some exercise. Even though walking is great, some aerobics really please the muscles and organs. The amount of time you exercise is almost as important as the intensity. An hour walk can be as good as twenty minutes on the tread mill.
The devil is in the details. Look at what you should be eating in the long run like the list I included above and start substituting now. Consider how fit you would like to be in the long run and start adding exercises now.
The biggest impediment to success is thinking you can reach your goal in 30 days. It’s a much longer life process that will last you the rest of your life.

Cutting Carbs vs Eating Natural; the Weight Dilemma
Posted by: | CommentsCarbohydrates certainly get a bad rap. What’s wrong with them?
Most fruits and vegetables including grasses and leaves are all carbohydrates. See any sick animals falling out of trees?
A good friend about 50 who exercises well with upper body and running on the beach says he wants to thin out a little by eating less carbs. Some diets stress low carbs. If you have an active life, carbohydrates are needed for fuel and recovery.
As a surfer, I would not want to eliminate carbohydrates. Because I eat a mostly natural diet, my struggle is getting enough protein. The carbohydrates I eat are fruit, vegetables, and grain cereals.
I have a fruit bowl in the mornings, a salad during the day, and often a vegetable soup in the early evening before dinner. I like spaghetti and often make my sauce with garlic, onions, zucchini, and broccoli sautéed in olive oil before I drop in the tomato sauce. I have chicken, tuna, and take a high grade amino acid supplement.
What I don’t eat is refined sugar, fructose, bread, dairy, and many processed foods from cans or packages. My body will quickly digest everything I eat and not encapsulate my ingredients in fat to protect my organs.
I have energy, exercise, and don’t think about cutting back on my consumption. I am constantly eating. My foods don’t have many calories and so snacking doesn’t add weight. I don’t drink and follow up with pizza or a hamburger. I frequently have my beer or two in the evenings as I gather with friends.
Losing or maintaining weight doesn’t have to be a struggle if you are eating natural.
