Having a well-stocked pantry has long been proclaimed as a great way to save time and money, since you always have food available, presumably eliminating the need for spontaneous trips to the nearest fast food establishment. The trouble is, this usually means stockpiling foods that can last...
With my wedding six months away, I decided it was time I shed some excess weight. For a short time, I attempted the OMAD approach — one meal a day — along with a daily four-mile run. This meant that every day around 3 p.m., I’d hit...
