So you went to your favorite sushi place to score some white tuna, wild salmon, and of course, sake.  What if the only thing that was worth that 50 dollar tab was the overpriced sake?  What if you found out your 5 dollar a piece of tuna was really esoclar?  Did you have the boom's boom's to top it off? News breaking information about the fish we buy from overseas is not what it says it is, and even the fish experts can't tell the difference.  A study was conducted recently that tested the DNA of fish species that claimed to be cod, sole, wild salmon, white tuna, among others.  Only 1 out 5 tested were actually what they were labeled as, while the four were a cheaper fish species, yet sold at the price of the marketed price for top high end fish selections.  The United States alone purchase almost 99% of fish from overseas, and when the fraud fish was put in some of the top expert they could not tell the difference.  A scarier thought is less than 1% o...

We don't wake up all of a sudden and realize that our clothes don't  fit or notice the extra skin hanging on to our guts.  It gradually appears, we just choose to keep a blind eye to the subliminal signs.  So when you are trying to change your habits to loose weight keep the same mind set.  There is no miracle pill, power, or juice that will magically melt away all the bad decisions made over a period of time. So to avoid failure start small.  Skip the extra helping, trade the side of fries with a side salad, drink water for a whole day twice a week.  Then gradually change one to two bad habits for better options.  The last thing you want to do is pig out on Sunday and swear on your li...
