Expensive fuel helps curb obesity?

This is the fourth day of my juice fast, and I'm feeling great. Last night, dinner was six carrots, three stalks of broccoli, one full beet green (root and leaves), and a jalapeño pepper (yes, I like some spice). This morning, breakfast was an apple, a pear, some strawberries, and several bunches of grapes.

I've had quite a few people inquire about what a juice fast is, why I would do it, what the benefits are, etc. So I will be writing an article hopefully in the next day or so to post and answer all of your questions! It is NOT the same as a "Master Cleanse" and I don't do it directly for weight loss ... stay tuned.

Since I was diagnosed with hypothyroid, I've been doing quite a bit of research. The problem is that diagnosis of this condition is difficult because not every agrees what the "proper" levels are. Some even believe lower levels like the ones I had are actually normal and part of the regular variance between individuals. Here is a great discussion with lots of information about hypothyroidism.

In an interesting twist, it looks like belly fat may impact your liver function, according to this article.

Are you tired of high fuel prices? According to this article from Australia, high fuel prices may help fight obesity. It's an interesting twist.

The other day, I reported a controversial study that claimed a decline in energy (exercise, etc) was not responsible for the obesity epidemic. I had a hard time swallowing it, and now I follow up with this analysis that says exercises DOES still combat obesity. Whew. Seems like the balance has been restored.

On my last note, "speaking of exercise," have you ever wondered how you can possibly burn those extra calories when you're stuck behind a desk or in a cubicle all day at the office? Your answer just might be here ... why not ask your boss to get you one of these?

Until next time,

Jeremy Likness
