The Perfect Home Brewing Setup
Have you ever seen the inside of a commercial brewery or distillery? Or maybe there's a microbrew near your home that you enjoy dropping in on, watching them make what will be next week's product.
Have you noticed how huge the equipment is, and how complicated it all looks? Vats hooked up to pressurized nozzles and rubber tubing going everywhere. Dials, switches, computers, all of these elements can be very overwhelming.
Which may be a reason why some people shy away from home brewing. They look at all those pieces of equipment in that brewery and think that there's no way they could ever understand all of those things, or fit them into their house.
In truth, the equipment you need for home brewing is no where near that complicated, or that large. Never compare the process you'll follow at home with the one you see in these commercial breweries.
For your homemade beer, the equipment is actually very simple and basic. You'll need a large pot or kettle in which to boil your liquid that will eventually turn into beer. You may actually already have one of these in your kitchen, but they are readily available at not only homebrew suppliers but virtually any retailer.
The grains you steep in this liquid need to be held in a mesh bag; this is something like a tea bag that holds tea leaves when you make tea. These mesh bags are very inexpensive and also available at homebrew suppliers. Once you're done preparing the liquid, it sits in large pails with airtight lids so that it can ferment.
You want to use food-grade pails for these, but they're also very inexpensive, and you'll need two since you eventually transfer the liquid from one to another. A device called an airlock fits onto the pail; this keeps air out of the mixture while it ferments. You test your liquid to see if it's turned into alcohol with a food thermometer and a little instrument called a hydrometer, which looks like a thermometer.
And that's it! The only other pieces of equipment you'll need are bottles in which to store your finished beer. A couple of pails, a big boiling pot, and a few small instruments that can fit into a kitchen drawer, and you're all set.
Home brewing is not complicated, it's not expensive, and it doesn't take up more than a few square feet of room in a basement or corner of the kitchen. So don't be overwhelmed, regardless of what you've seen at those big commercial breweries. Homemade beer can be produced by virtually anyone; it's affordable and simple to do. So why not get started with it today?

Fat and Diet Myths
I am sure you have heard your fare share of dieting myths, some of which you probably do not know are actual "myths". The main one we are going to discuss today is below:
BIG FAT MYTH: Weight loss is very difficult and you need to have a personal trainer to achieve a decent amount of weight loss.
Our response to this is: BULL!
Again, we can't emphasize how BULL this is because ANYONE can achieve weight loss. It is not really that difficult if you break it down, and you definitely do not need a personal trainer to lose weight.
Whether you are 5 pounds away from achieving your fitness goal, or you need to lose 300 lbs, weight loss can and will happen if you want it.
And is it hard? Not really...
In saying this, it can take some dedication and some self-control over your eating habits. There are certain things that you should be eating, and certain things that you should not be eating.
As a rule of thumb, you should "eat from the earth". By this we mean that if it does not grow in or on the ground and comes pre-packaged, you can likely do without it.
Grains, vegetables, water, meat & fish are eating from the earth. Package crackers, cookies, non-perishables, chips, most sauces...basically anything prepackaged you can do without.
The diet within Strip That Fat is not that strict, but this would be a good starting point for anyone looking to eat healthier. Throw in a little exercise and you are well on your way to losing some serious weight.
