Looking at most of them, I'm not happy. Fasting is in with too many faddish fads!
:lol: :lol: Obviously fasting is the coolest thing on this planet :cool: but a vibrating fork, well I'll just end up with the shakes :bugeyes: just don't waste your money ... we are doing it just right :grin: :grin:
Yes vibrating forks. Apparently it kicks off if you eat too quickly. Weird! The idea of bionic meat grosses me out even if it is supposed to be a solution to world hunger.
I live in one of the healthiest places on earth? Cool! :cool:
What's No 39 about? Can't say I've noticed any particularly healthy vibes around town.
OK I confess, I must be extremely "out" cause I didn't get most of the things on that list except for fasting :bugeyes:
So when fasting, if I wore my Stella couture threads, took a healthy selfie posted it on instagram whilst doing a dog worshipping the sun pose and juggled a couple of coconuts I'd be cool??
I have indicated my thoughts using the medium of smilies!!!

I fast and I do most of my work standing up, whilst wearing most uncool Sharx (not technologically advanced trainers- perhaps I should?). Unfortunately, the other 48 don't get a look in!!
Well, whether fasting or not, I make a LOT of vegetable soup, and my Vitamix blender is in almost daily use. It is fantastic, and well worth every penny I spent on it three years ago. Soups and purees (and smoothies/shakes I make for the children) are super smooth, super quick. Some soups I can just make in the blender without even getting a pan out. Since homemade vegetable soup is very healthy, I guess that earns the Vitamix its :like: from me.
Erm.. I alsso have a Fitbit... so that's 47, then... (that don't get a look in, though I do make a lot of my own soups)
