We’re usually all about the ladies over at Spry, but for some reason I’ve done stories on quite a few dudes recently.

If you’re intrigued but intimidated by Paleo, check it out!

Christmas is over, but there’s still more celebrating to do! If you’re pondering how to get your diet back on track while New Year’s Eve still looms, check out my review of low-calorie cocktail mixers. We conducted a Friday afternoon office taste test — which made me quite popular with my co-workers! They’re a discerning […]
