How to interpret your iron status
Interpreting your iron blood tests Serum iron actually only represents about 0.1% of the iron in your body, and it typically is just an artifact of the last few meals you have eaten.

An energy deficit over the month is in fact required for weight loss. With that being said, oftentimes people need to constantly increase the amount of cardio they're doing in order to continue to lose weight at the same rate as when they first begin doing cardio.

Why you can't stop eating ice cream
Habits are simply behaviors that arise to fill a space in time. No matter if it is seconds, minutes, or hours, a habit arises so that we can occupy our mind for some period of time. This is why it is so hard to eliminate a habit if you do not replace it with something else.
