I know, I know, you#8217;ve read/seen Fight Club, and Tyler Durden says that we#8217;re not all unique snowflakes, but he#8217;s wrong on this one. We come from different environments and backgrounds and we all have different goals and desires and abilities. There is no one training plan, exercise program, or piece of fitness advice that is perfect for everyone, equally. Each person must find what works for them./p

Studies seem to indicate that pure palmitic acid has negative health effects, so should we be avoiding palmitic acid-containing foods like butter, meat, or palm oil? Then, I explain the health effects of eating really fast. As you#8217;ll see, there are quite a few reasons to eat more slowly than quickly. I also include a few tips for fast eaters who want to slow down./p

The process really is quite simple, but it seems like a lot to keep track of. What type of vegetables do you use? What do you culture with #8211; salt, whey or freeze-dried culture? How do you make sure the culture doesn’t go bad during the fermentation process? How long, exactly, do those jars need to sit on my kitchen counter? And why bother culturing vegetables, anyway?/p
