A Beginner's Guide to Intermittent Fasting | Nerd Fitness “…But Tony the Tiger tells us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day!” This rule has become so commonplace throughout the health and fitness community that it’s readily accepted as fact: “Want to lose weight? “Want to lose more weight? There are even studies that show those that eat earlier in the day lose more weight than those who ate later in the day or skipped a meal. So, eat breakfast to lose weight and obtain optimal health. Maybe you’re not getting the whole story. After firmly being on “Team Breakfast” for 28 years of my life, I’ve skipped breakfast for the past three months and might never go back to eating it. I want to share with you a concept about skipping breakfast (and other meals), and how your health will benefit as a result. Tony ain’t gonna be happy, but today we’re talking about intermittent fasting. This is a topic that is very controversial, as it turns a LOT of conventional wisdom on its head. What is intermittent fasting? Well, that’s partly true. -Steve

proper glasses for the proper wine Anyone who has been involved with wine, especially from the wine drinking or tasting point of view will know about Riedel wine glasses. Even the great Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate worships them - they must then be really, really great! You may be iterating that a glass is a glass; well, yes and no. Yes, wine can be consumed out of any sort of goblet, glass or tankard (for you beer drinkers), but note, I say consumed rather than tasted. If you get the chance to drink your wine out of a Riedel wine glass, the overall tasting will become an experience to savour. Delicate wines demand elegant glassware... ...which make wonderful presents Image created by Rob Hemphill, incorporating the Riedel logo "The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. Robert M. "The Riedel family has never stamped its name on a single bottle of wine.

Cascina Guzzafame, Gaggiano, Milano, vendita latte crudo, vendit Super Size Me Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Super Size Me è un film documentario del 2004 diretto ed interpretato da Morgan Spurlock. La pellicola segue un esperimento portato avanti dal regista: per un mese (30 giorni) ha mangiato solamente cibo della nota catena mondiale di fast food McDonald's, tre volte al giorno (colazione, pranzo e cena), ogni giorno - interrompendo contemporaneamente ogni attività fisica - e documentando tutti i cambiamenti fisici e psicologici avvenuti. Oltre a questo, Spurlock esplora l'enorme potere della catena sull'industria dei fast food e come questa incoraggi un'alimentazione povera per massimizzare il proprio profitto andando a visitare diverse scuole per vedere cosa danno da mangiare nelle mense scolastiche. Il tutto prende le mosse da un episodio di cronaca del 2002: due ragazze statunitensi citarono in giudizio la catena di fast food McDonald's, affibbiandogli la colpa per la loro obesità.

How to Disagree with Someone More Powerful than You - Harvard Business Review - Pocket Your boss proposes a new initiative you think won’t work. Your senior colleague outlines a project timeline you think is unrealistic. What do you say when you disagree with someone who has more power than you do? How do you decide whether it’s worth speaking up? And if you do, what exactly should you say? What the Experts Say It’s a natural human reaction to shy away from disagreeing with a superior. Be realistic about the risks Most people tend to overplay the risks involved in speaking up. Decide whether to wait After this risk assessment, you may decide it’s best to hold off on voicing your opinion. Identify a shared goal Before you share your thoughts, think about what the powerful person cares about — it may be “the credibility of their team or getting a project done on time,” says Grenny. Ask permission to disagree This step may sound overly deferential, but, according to Grenny, it’s a smart way to give the powerful person “psychological safety” and control. Do: Don’t:

Designs of the time: Designs of the time ReteLilliput :: PrimaPagina :: Per un'economia di giustizia The Science of Marginal Gains (How You Can Achieve Big Results From Small Wins) Habit is persistence in practice.” — Octavia Butler I’m a big fan of micro habits. A micro-habit is a small, simple action that doesn’t require much motivation, but will help you achieve just about anything in life. Few repeated actions, done everyday, so discreet that they could easily go unnoticed. That’s how long-term habits are formed. That’s how you change behaviour. Not radical pursuit of good habits. If you improve every area of your life in small steps, you will become unstoppable. The one percent margin for improvement in everything you do is one of the best ways to build new habits. It’s so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small gains on a daily basis. Everything meaningful takes time Overnight success is a myth. You can’t achieve extraordinary results without putting in the work consistently. Almost every habit that you have built over the years — good or bad — is the result of many small decisions you have made over time.

Turf, Compost, Composts, Woodchip, Dorset, Bournemouth, Poole, F Movimento per la decrescita felice Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Il Movimento per la Decrescita Felice (MDF) è un movimento italiano nato e cresciuto informalmente dall'inizio degli anni 2000 sui temi della demitizzazione dello sviluppo fine a se stesso, e successivamente sfociato in un'associazione fondata da Pallante, esperto di risparmio energetico. Il movimento, chiaramente ispirato alla decrescita teorizzata da Georgescu-Roegen, fondatore della bioeconomia, ed in linea con il pensiero di Latouche, parte dal presupposto che la correlazione tra crescita economica e benessere non sia necessariamente positiva, ma che esistano situazioni frequenti in cui ad un aumento del Prodotto interno lordo (PIL) si riscontra una diminuzione della qualità della vita.[senza fonte] Successivamente MDF si è formalmente costituita come un'associazione di promozione sociale e nello specifico la sua struttura ha una forma federale; un'associazione di associazioni coi suoi Circoli Territoriali attivi sul territorio nazionale.

An existentialist guide to life, work, dating, and exercise — Quartzy Some people are apparently totally cool with living in an absurd world. Presumably, these folks don’t experience existence as futile or see enthusiasm as foolish. However, not all of us are so lucky or plucky, and so we’re left mustering up reasons to be and do even as we sense it’s all pointless. We can’t go on. We must go on. The reluctant have to make meaning up. Still, we are not doomed to perpetual gloom. Forged in the fires of futility Existential philosophers have already worked out some answers for you, so don’t despair. But don’t let your fundamental gloominess be a reason to do nothing. Think about it. But if you manage to live life based on certain values because you’ve examined them and found them preferable under the circumstances to other less laudable or more destructive approaches, that’s no joke. We are each born into a set of facts, accidents of circumstance, that describe and shape our reality—class, race, gender, religion, et cetera. Work Dating Hosting Exercise Go on
