I am in South Louisiana as well, close to New Orleans. Grandfather is full Cajun, grew up in Cutoff, with his father being the captain of a shrimp boat. One of my goals next year is to learn French. Do you speak French?

I put on some fat with it, but due to the weights I was lifting for the last 6 - 12 months it didn't seem to be a concern. Remember what you see on TV and the movies aren't representations of strength, they are on special diets, h

I would be the last person you want vegetarian advice from. If it weren't for my wife, I'd stick to potatoes, broccoli, and grilled asparagus. However, as you noticed I drink a lot of milk, a lot. A pint has 300 calories and 16g o

That will be maximum, ever, I suspect. In reality, it isn't hard but does take time and you have to push yourself. The hardest part is really eating. A typical day would like this, 1. Breakfast, a cup of espresso with milk, 6oz NY Stri

That is a good possibility. I complete the work assigned to me while being able to get a 1.5-hour workout at the gym and my wife does a 20 to a 50 mile bike ride every day. TC might be low but my and my family's health appears far bett
