Stumptuous asks: Are triathletes healthy?

Stumptuous asks: Are triathletes healthy? …endurance exercise. How much is too much? There is accumulating evidence that while some is good — say, a nice half-hour’s run outside on a sunny day — running marathons may not be the brightest idea for the average person. The frequency of cardiac incidents (i.e. keeling over as the [...]

Thintuition

I could write on and on about the benefits of Thintuion, this “method”, this extremely un-common sense method for losing weight. About 3 years ago, I decided never to diet again. I gained 25 pounds!
