What You Don’t Know … Can HELP You! A Great Plan Wows Again.:

Some of the weirdest and most interesting things happening in the diet and weight-loss space are the odd benefits people are seeing from meds like Ozempic.

How Can We Simplify The Eternal Battle Between Fit & Flab?:

The most popular topic in the entire Health & Wellness space is weight-loss.

Not even exercise has toppled its crown since 1863.

Sorry about that, Shake-Weight, Peloton, and Total Gym!

Not even Christie Brinkley and Chuck Norris could compete with it.

But you’d think after all those 160+ years, we would have found a simple diet plan that works.

So as a change in pace, I thought I’d share a few things I’ve learned over time.

There are several studies to back this up, but some of it is just personal experience.

A lot of this comes from changing everything I was doing when I got a little bit chubby and needed to lose weight myself.

The type of thing that we all come to sites like HealthTrekker for is: Improvements.

What are Science’s little tricks that might turn into huge benefits over time?

And part of that question implies the idea of Cost/Benefit.

One example of the strife many people have with Cost/Benefit is the amount of weight & fat they lose for whatever diet & exercise program they’re on.
