It's always important to balance your calcium intake with Vitamin D, otherwise it may not be absorbed fully or properly. You can get it from the sun, orange juice, milk, supplements, etc.

Lifting weights is always a good idea if you're looking to get lean and burn more calories overall. It takes more dedication than simply hopping on the treadmill, though.

I haven't heard of this, but it sounds kind of counter-intuitive if you ask me. Any decongesting properties are perhaps cancelled out by caffeine's diuretic/dehydrating effect.

I think just plain water and maybe a healthy snack are all you need. Drinking your calories through "enhanced" liquids is unnecessary. Plus, coconut water is by no means convenient.

We don't own any Crisco, but this sounds interesting. I think it's important to always be stocked up on candles/batteries/flashlights so you don't have to resort to cooking grease in a storm!

I figure you need to force yourself to get into the habit in the first place. If you're educated before you even begin, it won't be that tempting. Same goes for other unhealthy habits like drinking.

I don't enjoy bartering and avoid it unless I am dealing with someone selling something not in a store. It seems pretty tacky to try and fight retailers for a lower price on everyday items, although I know this is customary in other countries.

We all have our lot of "strange" things we are attracted to ether by sight or by smell. I've never heard of a chlorine-scented candle, but then again, we have the Internet, where you will be able to find anything if it exists!

Actually, the Pill has been linked to protecting you from certain cancers, not harming you. You shouldn't go off of birth control until you are no longer able to have children. If you're tired of the Pill, there are many, many other options.

I've never heard of it. I think if anyone can commit to some kind of diet/workout plan for six straight weeks, then they are making progress no matter which route they choose.
