Dietary Guidelines for Americans
Very soon the Department of Health and Human Services will be releasing the 2015 version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA or Dietary Guidelines).

New look to the site
If you’ve been on this site before and made your way here now, it’s easy to see that the look has changed. But it isn’t just the look, it’s vastly more than that. It’s the entire functionality of the site. But it’s a long way from being there yet. I’m a big believer in the…

In case you missed out last time…
I just got word that there will be another sale tomorrow of a bunch of low-carb books on Kindle for a mere three bucks apiece. Last time a sale like this came around, I didn’t find out about it and get it up until halfway through the sale, and a lot of people missed…
