The Best Any Time Snack - EAS Advant EDGE

Image
I don't really care for prepackaged protein simply due to one simple and fixable problem - too many carbohydrates, or worse, too many sugars.  I started drinking EAS Advant EDGE when they were first introduced, of course over the years they have added new flavors, which always a good thing.

Epilepsy and the Ketogenic Diet: A Mini History

Image
There are so many ideas on eating a healthy diet that I like to provide a glimpse into all types of concepts and options available.  The Ketogenic Diet is a hot topic with its roots in the treatment of certain types of epilepsy.  On his blog, Robb Wolf, provides a mini history of the use of a Ketogenic Diet on patients suffering with epilepsy.  It is a good read to add to your dietary information arsenal.   Links to Part I & II below: Image via Robb Wolf website http://robbwolf.com/2015/09/24/the-origin-and-future-of-the-ketogenic-diet-part-1/ http://robbwolf.com/2015/09/30/the-origin-and-future-of-the-ketogenic-diet-part-2/
