Supplements to Avoid

Here are three supplements that you should NOT ever take. 

I watched an episode of Dr. Oz where a number of supplements were reviewed by labs and here are three to AVOID:

1. Bitter Orange

2. Lobelia

3. Yohimbe

These three can cause heart and breathing problems and should not be taken. 

Butchery Class

What a way to start the morning. At beef butchering class we were greeted with a spread of cured meats and cheeses. And Corona. They sure know how to make us happy at 9am.

Go Nuts

NY times article supports eating nuts to help lower cholesterol.
On top of that, they are extremely high in protein and good fats. Some of my favorite ways of adding them into my daily diet:
crushed walnuts in salad
peanuts or walnuts sprinkled on a peanut butter covered banana
almonds, straight up
trail mix

More Meat

Sea salt, garlic powder and cracked pepper for dipping the sliced steak. Perfection.

Eataly

Mario Batali's new restaurant, Eataly, is a dream come true. The enormous store has imported treats like these drinks. Spuma is a sparkling drink with rhubarb extract and Gazzosa is made with lemon oils, making both taste extra unique and fresh. The only downside to this wonderland is the fact that all of Manhattan knows about its recent opening and it takes an hour to walk through the crowds.
Located: 23rd and 5th

Grilled Asparagus

Sea salt, cracked pepper, EVOO, bake for 12min at 400.
