It takes an average of 20 minutes to get re-focused after a disruption like text, email, a co-worker who can't catch a hint, or -- in my case -- a squirrel.
If you really want to be productive, isolate and unplug for at least a few hours.

▶︎STUDY: INTERMITTENT FASTING PROMOTES WHITE ADIPOSE BROWNING & DECREASES OBESITY BY SHAPING THE GUT MICROBIOTA
Beige is the new fat!
Did you know there are four different types of fat in the body?
- One is neutral (subcutaneous white). This is the FUPA, Muffin Top, etc that tends to come off first in a fat loss cut. This is also what doctors remove with liposuction. It lies right underneath the skin and, with smart nutrition and training, is relatively easy to lose.
-
One is dangerous (visceral white). This is the stubborn stuff stored deep in your body that suffocates your organs, wreaks hormonal havoc and creates metabolic derangement resulting in lifestyle related disease and cancer.
- Two are excellent (brown and beige) And this fat actually burns the above fats.
Certain types of exercise cause the hormone irsin to be released from muscle tissue that in turn converts white fat into beige fat. Beige fat is used for energy and prevents white fat from being stored in the belly.
