Crapton of veggies.
So I really like this post on Zen Habits about a simple health plan. There are two guidelines: Eat a crapton of vegetables. Do something active and fun every day. It’s really that simple, isn’t it? If you eat tons of veggies before you eat anything else, you’re pretty much guaranteed to crowd out all […]
