But why is this outdated, plausibly biased metric still a baseline? There are some things about BMI that you need to know.

The DAO of hot weather walking

Lili Kazemi July 27, 2021

One of the few silver linings of this pandemic was that it made walking cool again. Power walking was no longer just for the neighborhood grandparents; it was THE way to get cardio and regain our sanity. And surprisingly, lean out! I could not believe what a huge difference walking made in my ability to feel less stress. Within 6 months, I had lost 7 pounds WITHOUT the gym. Walking is an incredible exercise for even strengthening all those little joints and ligaments that you may not even be aware of and how all of the muscles of your body…

Can you get too much protein?

Lili Kazemi July 7, 2021
