Hey! It's Rachel Waskom from middle school. I found this through the
Fickett group on myspace and I just had to write you. It's always sad
to hear when someone gets hurt. Especially someone as nice as you!
Middle school was great and I remember that you were always the most
energetic and upbeat person! Life may change, but memories are forever!
You were always so cheerful and independent and smart, and you will
live on as that in everyone's heart! Take it easy.
-Rachel

The Coconut Diet
Some people are willing to sell anything and this is why some bad
ideas are actually launched on the market, much to the dismay of
unsuspecting customers who are duped by the hype and advertising. One
such bad idea is the Coconut Diet, which is yet another of those diets
that add some kind of miracle ingredient to a strict eating program
and hope that everything turns out great. The magic ingredient in this
case is the coconut oil and its metabolism boosting capacity. It seems
that coconut oil can be rapidly burnt by the body, despite the fact
that it is rich in saturated fats.
This diet is in fact a regular low-carb diet, very similar to Atkins.
During the first stage of the diet, users are not allowed to eat any
kind of carbohydrates and must do with lean foods, such as eggs, nuts,
cheese, fish, chicken, turkey and up to 10 glasses of water per day.
They also have to swallow 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil per day. The
first stage lasts for three weeks, only to be followed by an optional
detox stage. This stage lasts for 4 weeks and focuses on cleansing the
liver, kidneys, gallbladder and colon through certain interesting
means (such as drinking water mixed with lemon juice and olive oil).
The third stage of the diet is the reintroduction of carbohydrates in
the daily eating plan. Starting with fruit, wholegrains and potatoes,
the dieter is once more allowed to eat carbs. It is assumed that the
dieter has lost more than 10 pounds by this point and still
maintaining a weight loss pace of 1-2 pounds per week. The fourth
stage of the diet means that even more carbohydrates are added to the
eating plan, while still drinking coconut oil.
Unfortunately, the person behind this diet provides no sound
explanation for the alleged positive influence of coconut oil on
weight loss. While it's true that coconut oil helps regulate the
thyroid gland, it has far too much saturated fat to be healthy.
Furthermore, it's not very clear whether the coconut oil plays any
kind of role in this diet, since the weight loss can easily be
ascribed to the strict "no carbohydrates" eating plan. Most dieting
experts and dietitians agree that access to saturated fats should be
limited during diets, so it's pretty strange to see one that claims
the opposite.

Top 10 Fitness Mistakes
Nearly every guy or gal who's tried dieting or fitness has dropped out
of a program at least once. Such is life. Work and social events tend
to get in the way, lack of adequate emotional support saps the
willpower and boredom sets in. Eating the same kind of foods every day
is boring. Suiting up at the gym only to go through the same motions
is also boring. But this kind of mood can be avoided with a bit of
planning and a positive attitude. Here's a list of the most common
mistakes people do when trying to get fit.
The number one mistake has to be the failure to plan ahead. Going to
the gym with a vague target in mind is the best way to fail. If your
target is unclear, how can you know if you've reached it or not? If
you're a little vague on the details, maybe you need help. Ask a
doctor what's your ideal weight and make that your goal. Or focus on
the number of inches you want to drop off your stomach, bottom and
thighs. That works great, too.
Coming up with excuses to avoid going to the gym is second on this
list. Yes, life tends to get in the way, but that can be arranged with
some more planning. Don't quit the program just because something came
up at the last moment. Reschedule your gym session and make sure you
don't get lazy.
Don't work out too little. This may seem too obvious to belong here,
but a lot of people lift two dumbbells a couple of times and think
they're done for the day. Sit down at the table for half an hour and
come up with a sound training program. If you don't know enough to
make your own program ask a gym trainer or a veteran bodybuilder to
help you. People are usually quite happy to show off their knowledge.
Too much fitness is also bad. Muscles need time to grow and the body
needs time to burn fat. Some people think that the body only burns up
fat during exercises, but this is not true. The more muscles mass you
have, the faster calories get burnt because muscles need energy for
maintenance all the time. Even when you're resting. Overtraining will
simply make you tired without any additional benefits.
Never compare yourself to others. We are all unique individuals with
unique genetic make-ups governing our weight gain, weight loss and
response to training. You shouldn't rate your performance according to
the achievements of others, but stick to your own pace and your own
goal. If you're trying too hard too soon, you're simply asking to fail.
Don't do the same things over and over. There's no better way to lose
motivation that doing the same exercises in the same order over and
over again. Learn to juggle around with the exercises that form your
routine and replace them with new ones every now and then. Find
variations on a classic exercise and try them out. Make things
interesting for yourself
Don't stroll into the pub straight from the gym and keep alcohol
consumption on a tight leash. Alcohol has extra calories that you
don't want and is also metabolized as fat and very fast. Pumping iron
in the gym for 45 minutes and then throwing the entire effort away
with a couple of beers is not a good way to move forward.
Keep a close eye on your meals. Drop the fast food and snacks from
your daily eating plan and forget about soft drinks. At the same time
avoid starving yourself. This is a huge mistake and a lot of people do
it. Never assume that you can tank your way through a fitness program
while starving yourself because you'll only end up in a hospital.
Muscles need nourishing meals in order to grow and starvation is a bad
way to diet anyway.
And, lastly, never look for a magic fix that can save you all the
trouble. You can't lose weight sitting around and moping in front of
the TV or computer. It just doesn't happen. So get out and go to that
gym because it's good for you. And no excuses!

The early bird catches the worm and the early jogger doesn't have to
worry as much later on in life. I know that this may sound like some
half-baked self-help slogan, but it's the truth. The sooner you start
to take care of your body, the better your health will be.
A study conducted by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
revealed that cardiorespiratory exercises performed in the early
adulthood have a huge impact on the risk of developing high blood
pressure and diabetes in the middle age. Both of these conditions are
likely to lead to strokes or heart attacks in the old age. Regular
fitness sessions also lower the risk of developing the classic spare
tire that nobody likes, high blood pressure and high levels of
triglycerides (the bad version of cholesterol).
Just because you're young and healthy it doesn't mean you shouldn't be
exercising at all. Preventive measures are always a good idea because
it's easier to put a little effort into improving your health than
having to deal with the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle in your
middle age. Eating all sorts of good things is great, but after a
certain age all those burgers and snacks will come back to you as high
blood pressure.
Once you're past your thirtieth birthday you no longer snap back the
same way and excess eating coupled with excess TV watching equal fat,
diabetes, hypertension and other unpleasant things that require
frequent trips to the doctor and many pills. While the 30s and the 40s
seem far away to a young man, time flies faster than we think and
suddenly you're no longer young. But you can still be healthy with a
little exercising every day.
