Typical breakfast is 3 eggs, 2 yolks, 4 pieces of thick-cut, meaty bacon, and 1 TB of butter on 1 piece of Ezekial toast. Lunch is 8 oz sausage and veggies. Dinner is 8 oz. ground beef and veggies. No snacks. 12-14 hour fast. Do I need to limit my fat intake at all to lose weight?

Now I find conflicting advice concerning when to eat breakfast for maximum fat loss. Martin Berkhan of Leangains says that is best to postpone eating breakfast as long as possible to extend the fat-burning that takes place overnight. Tim Ferriss says it's important to eat protein within 30 minutes of waking to create a hormonal advantage that will last through the day. What do you say?

It's more a question of finding a practitioner to order and then interpret those tests. I'm unfortunately not aware of any MDs or other practitioners doing that type of testing. I'm sure there are some - I just don't know who they are since I haven't lived down there in so long. Another option is to go to Directlabs.com and order the tests yourself. You order the tests, and they email you a lab requisition which you print out and then take to a nearby lab. I'd still recommend finding some help interpreting the results, though. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hi Jane,

Does distilled water leach minerals from the body? Are the "inorganic" minerals in mineral water actually toxic? There are various claims made about both, and the arguments back and forth strike me as more religion than science. Personally, I listen to my palate, which tells me that distilled water tastes awful. Which is better for ones health: distilled water or mineral water?

A "Nourishing Our Children" post is definitely at the top of my list. I'll go into detail there, but in short, the good news is that saturated fat and cholesterol are two very important nutrients for growth and development. I don't know too many kids that don't like butter, cheese and cream. :) One of the benefits of a nutrient-dense diet (whether for kids or adults) is that they're full of foods most people love! This is in stark contrast to the bland, unsatisfying low-fat fare currently en vogue. More to follow.... Chris Hi Jessica,
