How do you ask? PLAN!!! No kidding! How much money do you think you spend on fast food at the Junction? A whole lot of money. Try this for a week instead: Don't buy anything you couldn't prepare at home. You say you're too busy, huh? What are you a Chemistry-Mandarin major? You only have time to study, to go class, study some more, and sleep? How will you feed yourself after you graduate and make the big bucks? I'm appalled by how many people don't know how to cook.

I told her it is not that bad yet. There are studies,   valid and verifiable studies being conducted on food as medicine, super foods and cancer, brain plaque formation and sugar intake, etc. Many of those studies are being conducted in countries where they still do things the old-fashioned way- grow food in the front yard garden.

Yes! A: Exercise!?  Well…. maybe it is more than just exercise… As you know you can lose weight by eating less, but if you eat too little you will store fat.
