I have found that losing weight, maintaining it, and staying healthy is about what you do everyday, day-in, day-out.  It’s the routine of health that gives you the best health you can get. If you have huge meals every day, you will be huge.  If you have small meals, you will be small.  It’s that…

Here’s a way to have your bacon and eat it too!  Today, I offer you a method of cooking bacon that has less fat, and therefore less calories per serving.  It’s baked instead of fried.  It’s very easy, too.  Bacon, however, is one of those foods that isn’t so healthy, let just say.  However, if…
