Actually, I agree with this. I'm not sure that everyone has to like everyone else. Or agree with their habits. We're all different.

I don't think people should go out their way to say "I don't like you because...." but we're humans and different.

There IS a lot of conflicting information about what to eat, when to eat it etc....

There is also a tremendous pressure to be thin, but everywhere you look things are supersized and portions are just out of control.

I mean a "happy meal" at McDonalds is just sad for kids IMO, but whatever.

There is one fact that is not disputed. Muscle burns more calories than fat and is a better sink for glucose.

If you want to lose weight and moderate blood sugar spikes, build muscle early and often.

You don't have to lift weights or run a marathon. Moving your major muscle groups (legs, arms, abdomen) is the key.

Believe it or not Yoga is a great way to build muscle, relieve stress, and improve health. It promotes healing actually.

We all have our reasons for being the way we are. We all may or may not be happy with those reasons.

We do have some measure of control over our happiness though.
