For those who have been around the site or followed me on TwitterFacebook, you probably will recognize many of the quotes on simplicity below.

I am a big fan of keeping things simple (but not overly simplistic in substance). It is more about reducing the clutter and noise, so you can do less and get …


No-Breakfast-Plan

As Intermittent Fasting (IF) takes off more into the mainstream (2 new IF  ”diet” books just came out), it’s probably inevitable that people start calling IF a “fad diet”.

With all the talk about using coconut oil, people have told me I just need to start my own line already. Now I’ve got another use for you.

If I were to say my #1 use for coconut oil, it’s in my coffee (as I refer to often on Facebook and Twitter).

My #2 use would be …

You may have already read all the headlines this week. You have been warned. Your mortality is in danger. You need to be on the lookout…for Bacon.

Yes it’s true. Apparently Kevin Bacon is pissed and not going to take it anymore. Maybe it is all those degrees of separation people use that have finally made him snap.
