How to do the least amount of damage while eating out!
I think we can all agree that fast food is bad for you. At the same time I don’t see many
McDonalds going out of business! So, it is safe to say that my job is to minimize the
damage!!! I have complied below some tips to help you survive while
OCCASIONALLY visiting your favorite fast food chow line. Before I enlighten you I
have an exercise for you. Next time you have a hankering for that burger or taco … I
would ask that you sit outside your restaurant ( I use the term loosely) and watch what
the bodies of those who walk out look like. I think I first heard this from Tony Robbins “
Success leaves footprints” what foot prints are you following into that Restaurant?
Please excuse the Rant – now on with the show.
So you want a Latte at Star Bucks here is the best you can do and I might add this one is
surprisingly good:

These numbers don’t reflect the dressing but the Newmans Own light dressing is pretty
harmless unless you opt for 4 serving.
The Ugly:
I picked the following because I am sure some people might order this thinking how bad
could this be – BAD!
Crisy Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad with ranch dressing
Cal fat pro carb

The Good:
Tender Roast Sandwich with Sauce ( if you ditch the sauce this meal is drastically
improved nutritionally)

remember success leaves foot prints!!!!!
I just couldn’t pass up filling you in on this study. I also found
myself wondering where do I sign up to be a subject for this kind
of thing.
Sexual Orgasm Increases Longevity
Having regular (and enthusiastic) sex confers a host of measurable
physiological advantages to both men and women.
In one of the most credible studies tracking overall health with
sexual frequency, the mortality of roughly 1,000 middle-aged men
was tracked over the course of a decade.
Men who reported the highest frequency of orgasm experienced
half the death rate. Other studies have correlated frequency of sex
with, among other benefits:
· An improved sense of smell
· A reduced risk of heart disease
· Weight loss and overall fitness
· Reduced depression
· Pain relief
· Less-frequent colds and flu
· Better bladder control
In physiological terms, women experience no possibility of “overdosing” and experience
no dangers from too much sex. Men, however, can damage their penile tissue with too
much rough or forceful sex, especially now that drugs such as Viagra and Levitra can
allow for more staying power.
