I remember the tragedy like it was yesterday…

It was around 9:00pm and I was in Palestine, Texas, staying in a quaint, one room, bed and breakfast Inn called the Gingerbread House.

I was there because I was part of a massive ground search by NASA to help in the retrieval and identification of what remained of the Space Shuttle Columbia – its hardware strewn over a several hundred mile stretch of a mostly uninhabited place they call ‘East’ Texas, after the Columbia re-entry tragedy.

I remember my first day; 9 grueling hours of walking up mountains (14 hour work days), through endless thickets that were riddled with thorns seemingly designed by none other than Freddy Kreuger himself, fording muddy streams, jumping skin-piercing barbed wire fences, evading scary water moccasins, rattlesnakes, aggressive feral pigs, and a cornucopia of little critters that always seemed to find even the tiniest of openings through your clothes and would make your life miserable at best, and life-threatening at worst (ticks carrying Lyme disease, scorpions, centipedes, and more spiders than an arachnid specialist could probably name, for instance, were everywhere).

You'll lose weight quick walking in these flight suits

While there, I also got a chance to ride “free-swinging” style out the side of a helicopter. We were looking for pieces of the Space Shuttle wherever we could find them. I would hang out the side of the helicopter, NASA suit on, helmet on, talking through the headphones to the pilot, letting him know if we saw anything. We found pieces of the Shuttle hanging in trees, stuck in the mud, laying peacefully in grassy fields, everywhere you could think of.

We always had NASA patches and stickers with us to hand out to the kids and families if we happened to encounter them whenever we landed to pick up pieces of the Shuttle, or investigate a mysterious looking piece of debris. The surprised looks on these kids and parents faces as we Read More→

Eating certain types of fat helps increase the rate at which you can lose fat and weight

To lose weight quick is one of the more pervasive desires in our “quick-fix” society. Problem is, just being able to lose weight “at all” is what most people struggle with, much less the ability to lose weight quick.

However, there is a group of fats that, if ingested in adequate quantities, actually does help anyone lose weight quick. They are called Essential Fatty Acid’s (EFA’s).

Lose Weight Quick: Ingest more EFA's

EFA’s are a group of fats categorized as “essential” because the body cannot make them from other fats you ingest. Also, specific substances found in EFA’s are required by every cell in your body in order to function normally.

The two main groups of EFA’s are the Omega 3 (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega 6 (linoleic acid) fatty acids.

If you get both of them in the right ratios your body will make important hormones called eicosanoids, or prostaglandins. These regulate everything that goes on in all the tissues of your body on a moment to moment basis. And, they can only be produced from EFA’s. Reduce or eliminate your EFA intake and your body’s regulatory process becomes less than optimal or even non-functional.

This can lead to a host of symptoms that can literally lead to your body deteriorating. In fact, you absolutely cannot live without EFA’s they are that important. And the only way you can get get EFA’s into your body is by getting it through your food intake.

At the risk of offending my women readers, I propose that ‘fast women’ and the right weight loss program that gives you the ability to lose weight quick are very similar to each other.

Here’s why…

1. ‘Fast women’ are “easy”; when you choose the right weight loss program it’s “easy” to lose weight quick
2. ‘Fast women’ typically cause your wallet to lose weight quick, just like the right weight loss program causes you to lose weight quick.
3. ‘Fast women’ are typically insatiable, just like a good weight loss program causes you to lose weight quick and is insatiable in its appetite for your fat cells.
4. ‘Fast women’ piss off other women, just like a good weight loss program causes you to lose weight so quickly that you’ll piss off your co-workers, and sometimes even family and friends because you now look great and they still look like c _ _ p.
5. ‘Fast women’ dress to the nines. You can never miss a ‘Fast woman’. When you lose weight quick, you’ll suddenly be noticed by everyone. Nobody misses a great shape or figure, either on a man or woman.

Ok, so I had a little fun with this one.

Here’s some quick tips for you: Read More→
