    Gonna try a little experiment on being healthy.....

    If you could only give ONE piece of advice to someone who either wants to become healthy, or stay healthy, what would it be?

    The advice has to be specific, and limited to one idea. I'll bet after a couple of days we'd have a pretty solid list going that people could actually use.

    You game?

    I'll start:

    Don't drink your calories.

      I may be small, but I'm slow.

      A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

          Don't buy $15 worth of candy and put it in your desk drawer.

          Crap, I can't even follow my own advice.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Just say no to fingerfood- you lose track quickly.

                  Read "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan (and ignore all the anti-science doublethink and just focus on the general ideas).

                      Find a physical activity you enjoy doing and then DO IT.

                          Portion control. There are no bad foods. Only bad portions.

                              Super sets and circuit training with moderate weight and taking few or very brief breaks between sets during will whip your body into incredible shape fairly quickly unless you have to lose more than around 25 lbs.
                              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                                      Make sure to get adequate sleep. My opinion is no less than 6 hours/night.

                                              Don't wear underarmour ... you will make Steelblue and Landpoke happy.

                                                  I like underarmour. Just not under cycling shorts.

                                                      I say anything that you cannot put down inbetween bites is bad.

                                                      There is a direct corrolation with obesity and sleeping less than 6 hours. Sleep is a key.


                                                      I would add don't eat in a car.
