A good friend has been doing the Shangri-La Diet recently (basically either a glass of sugar water or a shot of extra light olive oil 2x/day spaced out an hour from other foods). It is working for her (in terms of weight loss) but I'm concerned ab...
Funny, I was pondering this very question last night. Looking forward to reading the answers. Last time I got a physical done, my HDL was on the low side too.

I am fortunate to be one of those rare children whose parents taught this international language to them from birth so I've been speaking it all my life. I also speak Russian and Spanish. I love that you are making languages so much more accessible to people!
I just moved back to the Bay Area after living in Southern California for a while and would love to connect with the raw enthusiasts here. Please let me know if there are any gatherings or events coming up!
In the past couple of days, I have had some ugly and unwelcome visitors knock on my door. Their shadows have darkened my doorway, and these guys really want to be heard!
