Recent brain scans of a Tibetan monk who fasted for over 30 years have left nutritionists in shock, changing everything they knew about weight loss and aging. These scans revealed that there is a special substance in the human body which is activated when you do not eat for at least 24 hours… And once activated it can make you lose weight 7x faster than any diet and make your brain, liver, kidneys, skin and muscles younger by up to 20 years. Now, a group of Nobel Prize winning scientists have made an experiment in which they managed to activate this substance by tricking the brains of the subjects’ into thinking they were fasting while eating their favorite foods. Researchers were stunned to see how people in the study were losing pound after pound while eating pizza, pasta, burgers, steak and drank coke and beer. The best part is that anyone can now activate this special substance from the comfort of their home. Don’t believe it? See it for yourself here!

It’s important to note that while these tips can help boost your metabolism, they are not a substitute for a balanced diet and regular exercise. For best results, combine these tips with a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Also, please keep in mind that losing weight quickly is not sustainable, therefore it’s important to focus on a healthy and balanced approach to weight loss, rather than trying to lose weight too fast.

Rugby is canceled so our coach sent us this to try and keep up our fitness

I definitely prefer running

I was lucky enough to get myself a standing desk.  After sitting and doing my job in a chair for so many years, I have actually had to slowly acclimate myself to standing for long periods of time again.  That’s right, I had to adjust to standing!  How crazy is that?  I started with a couple hours a day, and then worked my way up.  It was easy enough to stand for a half an hour after my 10-minute walking breaks because I was already up and moving.  I went from that to 45 minutes after break.  Then 15 minutes before break and 45 minutes after and so on, just kinda toying with which times work best.  Any time I didn’t have much work to do, I’d see how long I could stay standing before my knees gave out.  So far today, I’ve stood for all but 15 minutes of my shift, and I’m over 3 hours in.  I used to do this as a cashier at Shaw’s, and then push carts on top of that!  I think I can get back to that level of calorie burning again before the end of the year.  Wish me luck!
