Should you take on 30-30-30 weight loss trend?

Milwaukee, WI — During the first couple of months of the year, as people work to keep their New Year’s Resolutions, there’s all sorts of information online and on social media touting the best methods to lose weight, exercise, and eat right. One practice that went viral in late 2024 was the 30-30-30 method. The idea is to consume 30 grams of protein within the first 30 minutes of waking up and follow that with 30 minutes of low-intensity exercise. 02/12/2025 11:05 AM

As I was going through some of my files from years ago, I came across a hard copy of an email I received in 2011. This was the year I retired from the newspaper industry and as I reread this email it struck me on how I had used my time over my years of life. Was my time more beneficial for me or was is it used in some way to help or maybe inspire someone else? 02/12/2025 11:05 AM
