Why We Get Fat
Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it. A follow up to his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue.

Yesterday you learned two methods for keeping you fresh herbs fresh. But these work best if you’re going to use them within a week or so.

If you’re not planning on using them that soon, freezing works better than drying them as it will preserve more of the flavor and nutrients.

To freeze fresh herbs, rinse them and then dry them thoroughly (anytime you freeze something wet, you’re asking for freezer-burn). Spread the individual leaves on a small tray or cookie sheet. Freezing the leaves flat and individually will prevent them from freezing together into a brick. Cover and place the tray of leaves into the freezer.

Once they’re frozen, place them in an airtight container or freezer-bag and return them to the freezer (the less air in the bag or container, the better). Use them within a year and you’ll still preserve most of their yummy goodness.

I have insulin resistance and my blood sugar was way high. I knew I had to do something, so when I heard about Matthew, I decided to check it out. It has helped me tremendously. In just about 4 months my blood sugar went way down!! The doctor is happy and so am I. I also enjoyed doing the 90 Day Fitness Challenge. It helped me take more responsibility for every area of my life.
