Thanks everyone for the the positive feedback on my STEM Tuesday posts.

With the weather getting warmer, many of us are getting on the excercise and dieting as we anticipate baring more skin.  Me too.

Does the Human Microbiome impact our efforts? Guess what?  Big time.

Chemistry tells me that a calorie is a calorie, no matter where it comes from.  Eating fewer calories and moving more is the only way to be slimmer and trimmer.

“Eat less, Move more. That’s the key to staying thin,”

Thin people have different microflora than obese people.

I keep looking for signs of spring. More honestly, signs of warm weather.  It’s the little signs for which I give gratitude this week.
