The number of people cutting down on meat and dairy, or cutting these foods from their diets entirely, has been rising over the last decade. The number of vegans in the UK, for example, quadrupled between 2006 and 2018, according to research by The Vegan Society. One common motivation for shunning steak and stilton and going vegan is the promised health benefits. The vegan diet is generally considered to be higher in fibre and lower in cholesterol, protein, calcium and salt than an omnivorous diet – but there are still misconceptions and concerns around cutting meat, fish, eggs and dairy completely from our diets.   One common concern is whether a vegan diet provides enough vitamin B12. B12 helps prevent nerve damage, and is found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy, but not in fruit or vegetables. It's recommended that adults consume 1.5 micrograms of the vitamin per day. “A B12 deficiency can lead to neurological symptoms such as numbness, and it’s irreversible if the deficiency...

About a year and a half ago, I set out to lose nearly two decades of weight I had put on thanks to desk jobs, poor eating, and an out-of-control soda addiction. At 5 feet 10 inches tall and 208 pounds (lb), I was looking to get to a goal weight of 168 lb, which is closer to what I weighed in college. Knocking some of the obvious targets out of my diet — Coca-Cola, pizza, bagels, and pasta — made a quick dent in my weight, and got me to 188 lb. It was a 20 lb weight loss in just a few weeks. When my weight began to stubbornly plateau at 188 lb, even after I joined a boxing gym, I asked for help. And that’s how I stumbled upon intermittent fasting, a style of eating that places more of a focus on when you eat instead of what you eat. Combined with exercise, this diet plan helped me reach 154 lb.The idea behind intermittent fasting is that it increases your metabolic rate, which helps you burn more calories. And by restricting the time periods during the day when you eat, you take in fe...

isneyland is about rides, but Walt Disney World is about infrastructure. Consider that in order to get Disneyland built, Disney asked the city of Anaheim to run a sewer line and allow them to demolish part of Cerritos Avenue… and that’s about it. Walt Disney World involved such matters as land reclamation, mass transit, hotel operation, urban planning, drainage, waste treatment…It’s said that Walt Disney chose the location of Walt Disney World based on Bay Lake and its natural island. In the 1969 press conference announcing the first phase of Walt Disney World, Roy Disney remarked: “I remember when we walked out there one day – we had looked at the land from the air, from the ground, tramped a lot of it, and Walt stood alongside of Bay Lake and he said, ‘This is where we’ll put the park’.” And they did.Bay Lake… what is up with Bay Lake? I’d wager that despite its incredible importance to the development of Walt Disney World, most visitors never even see the darn thing. But it’s the so...

The Oct. 24 episode of Dancing With the Stars honored the classic crooner—who performed twice and served as a guest judge—with routines set to his songs from the 10 remaining celebrity contestants and their partners. But there was one performance in particular that really managed to leave a clucking impact. After RuPaul's Drag Race star Shangela and her partner Gleb Savchenko performed a tango routine to "Hollywood," she pulled out a piece of fried chicken in a reusable bag from down her dress and handed it to judge Len Goodman. Allow us to explain. Last week, Len told Shangela that her legs were "still not as crisp as I would really like to see." So, after their performance this week, Shangela asked Len, "Were my legs crispy?" before pulling out the chicken from the bust of her white dress. "My mama said make sure I give you this crispy chicken to make sure that my legs were just as crispy," Shangela continued. It's a whole new sp...
