Well, I must admit it was rather nerve wracking watching to see how many of you would vote for me with your clicks last week! Thank you for sticking around; I’m glad to hear you enjoy the things I send to you.
If there is anything you would like to read about, please do let me know; I am always open to suggestions.
The question of today is ‘would I be healthier if I stopped drinking’?
Boozy drinks seem to show up a fair bit during our week – a glass of wine to mark the end of the day […]
Is it possible to actually slow down your metabolism by long-term dieting?
Can you make your body burn less calories?
Is starvation mode something which really happens?

When you’re trying to get in shape, you have a few options.

Its called circadian rhythm.
It dictates when we’ll feel tired at night and what time we’ll wake up in the morning.
