Please tell your friends about our online conversation about fasting, and fasting every other day.  Email them the URL, please, if they are thinking of fasting.  Please add your experiences and opinions, too, to the comments below.

The next time you are about to overeat, just stop. Stop and remind yourself that you’re about to overeat–something that you really do not want to do. Be conscious. That’s the first step in stopping the problem right in its tracks. Once conscious, remind yourself how important being healthy and losing weight is to you.…

While most people of the world struggle for enough to eat, those of us with weight problems have too much, and eat too much. What a paradox! Obesity isn’t just a disease of poverty, either–many people with little or no money are still overweight. What then, is the cause of the problem? It’s about feeding…

Here’s an idea to try in the kitchen. Vegetable pizza. Get some bread dough (from a mix, pop-out can, a home-made dough recipe, or use a bread machine on the dough cycle).

This season, the lesson to be learned for me is that less is more, and that sacrifice to God brings freedom and life.  This worldwide recession is forcing us to make sacrifices – spend less money and make more, or for many of us even hold onto our job and home, potentially sacrificing the roof…

There’s a lot of talk these days about eating less, calorie restriction and fasting.  Not just because of Lent, but finding easy, or easier ways to have less food so that weight loss and weight maintenance can at last be achieved. Please post a comment below – tell us if you’ve been fasting, or thought…

What makes you happy?  Is it losing weight and keeping it off?  Having a lot of money, lots of cool stuff, and living a rich life?  Is it that happiness depends on being famous or well-known?  None of the above for our readers!  Well, may be a little weight loss and staying healthy, certainly!
