I will be partaking in Pilates and Yoga and going to the gym, but I think I need a quick jump start. Is fasting for a short period of time, a day or two a good idea. Does anyone know what the benefits to fasting are and is it safe?

<a href='http://www.wellness.com'>Wellness.com</a> - <a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/20237/the-dreaded-scale/surferchick'>The dreaded scale</a> by <a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/1622/surferchick'>SurferChick</a><br/><br/>So I recently purchased a scale that tells you how much you weigh, your body fat percentage and your bodies percentage of water. What was I thinking? I'm an average person, I like to work out and eat healthy the majority of the time, and I manage to stay pretty slim. Or so I thought... so I entered my height, age and sex into this scale and waited for the bad news to begin, so I weigh about 5 -7 more pounds than I thought, my body fat percentage was WAY higher than I imagine and my water percentage was normal I guess. Not sure what that feature is for.<br/><br/>Now that I know all of this information I can no longer be in denial, so it's back to the gym and no more sweets, well maybe sometimes. My first rule is to cut out the sweets at night and eat dinner earlier, I'm a pretty late eater and have more hard boiled eggs (thanks Brian Johnston!). <br/><br/>So here's the question, what is the normal or average body fat a 29 year old woman should have. What's the easiest way to lose body fat?<br/><br/>Thanks!

<a href='http://www.wellness.com'>Wellness.com</a> - <a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/20235/can-epsom-salt-help-detox/surferchick'>Can Epsom Salt help detox?</a> by <a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/1622/surferchick'>SurferChick</a><br/><br/>My local news station recently had a lady on that was going over how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and and a simple detox plan. She states that by taking a hot bath in two cups of Epsom Salt your body can rid itself of harmful toxins. So I tried it... the only thing I noticed was that while soaking in the Epsom Salt my heart rate skyrocketed, whether I caused it sub-consciously or not I'll never know.<br/><br/>My question is, has anyone else heard of this kind of detox? If so, what are your thoughts?
