I wouldn't expect very frequent posting, but I'll do my best to post some happenings on a somewhat irregular basis.
The past week I went on what was likely the most painful diet I've ever tried. I'll post more on it later as I want to see a bit longer term effects before I give it a thumbs up or a thumbs downGregghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17521743035979062571noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174117940341985771.post-32795127322541193402009-03-08T03:25:00.002-04:002009-03-08T03:27:45.287-04:00Eat Less.

Even with this knowledge a lot of people complain that when they take fish oil they get the "fish burps." Some go as far as not taking fish oil just because of this. The benefits of fish oil are just too strong to ignore and sometimes you've just got to suck it up, but fortunately for those Gregghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17521743035979062571noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174117940341985771.post-6634834912960164212009-02-15T13:06:00.005-05:002009-03-15T13:19:24.338-04:00Mark Martin Set to Dominate Daytona 500Though I'm sure many of my readers don't know who Mark Martin is, he has always been someone who has inspired me.

Yes I realize it's not all that new as it has been around for at least a couple years now. These so called health experts went over the differences from the old to the new. One of which is that all food groups are essential.
