DIET | DETECTIVE^®

Most people are confused and bewildered about what supplements they should be taking as part of a healthy lifestyle change like livin' la vida low-carb. We all know the benefits of a solid multivitamin as part of your daily nutritional routine. But what else can we take to help improve our health while losing and then maintaining our weight?

I've shared a few of the specific supplements I take on a daily basis in this YouTube video as well as this blog post. But there is one that you may not have heard much about because quite frankly the medical industry doesn't want you to know there's an over-the-counter dietary supplement that will replace some very expensive prescription drugs you may be taking. It's called CoQ10. 

After much trial and error, this cheesecake recipe is perfect!

Several weeks ago, my wife Christine and I did a couple of YouTube videos highlighting a brand new product called True Lemon who are sponsors of my blog right now. In one of the videos, we shared a very simple and quick recipe for making a lemon, lime or orange cheesecake. It was pretty basic with the cream cheese, True Lemon products, and Splenda. 

The woman sitting next to me in the concert hall was fanning herself vigorously with her program. It was not hot in the hall; indeed most people had on sweaters or jackets as the hall was drafty and it was very cold outside.

“Hot flushes?” I asked knowingly. “Yes,” she replied, “and they never seem to end. They are particularly bad at night.  I don’t think I have slept through  for months. I wake up  hot and sweaty, get  cold, go to sleep and then wake up hot again.  But my doctor suggested I go on antidepressants. He said they might help.” At this point the lights dimmed so I said nothing.  I wondered if she realized that the therapy for her hot flushes might bring with it another set of problems: weight gain.
