About the blogger:
Stef dela Cruz is a writer. She is also a licensed nurse and doctor, having graduated Cum Laude in both degrees from the University of Santo Tomas. She is a Dean Bacala Academic Excellence Awardee at the same university. She received the Youth Leadership and Excellence Award from the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Philippines when she was twelve.

What is Stef’s favorite blog post and why?
Stef has marked two blog posts as her personal favorites: Blogger Attitude Check, an article that encourages bloggers to look at the mirror long and hard before they start typing away on their computers, and General Practice: Doctors’ Stigma?, which discusses the prejudice Filipinos have against general practitioners in the Philippines.
Both have become her top picks because they require a call to action, urging people to rethink their beliefs, asking Filipinos to open their minds a little wider. And Stef wants nothing more but to provoke thought and evoke emotion through her words – it is a change for the better that she is after.

The best tool for weight loss is knowing the difference between weight loss myths and effective weight loss regimens. Losing weight may be extra difficult when one follows weight loss myths rather than doing the correct weight loss practices.
With that, here are 5 common weight loss myths that you may want to stay clear of. In addition, each myth has corresponding weight loss tips that will effectively boost your weight loss goals.
Weight loss myth #1 - Avoid eating to start losing weight.
We simply need to eat. Avoiding food or skipping a meal will
only cause a temporary weight loss, if any. More so, following this weight loss
myth will not only cause unnecessary starvation, it may also lead to health
problems and unhealthy habits like binges or cravings.
Weight loss tips:
1. Do not over-eat.
2. Eat wisely.
3. Eat in portions.
4. Exercise regularly.
Weight loss myth #2 - Avoid carbohydrates to start losing
weight.
Carbohydrates play an important part of our diets. They
serve as fuels to the body by way of glucose. A strict low-carb diet may render
the body low on energy, dehydrated, nauseated and constipated.
Weight loss tips:
1. Eat carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables and whole
grains.
2. Avoid bad carbs from cakes, cookies and white breads.
3. Exercise regularly.
Weight loss myth #3 - Avoid fats to start losing weight.
Meals are more satisfying with fats. Fatty acids are high in
calorie and may even cause heart problems to some. Avoiding fats altogether is
however not the answer to weight loss. There are good fats which we can still
enjoy; and continue losing weight.
Hydrogenated fats or trans fats are the fats to avoid. These
fats are not only bad for our health; they also promote weight gain. Good fats,
on the other hand are good for our digestive health, immune system, brain and
nervous systems.
Weight loss tips:
1. Eat good fats from tuna, mackerel, sardines, nuts and seeds, olive oil, corn oil, soymilk, tofu, avocados.
2. Avoid bad fats from butter, cheese, lard, margarine,
crackers, chips, microwave popcorn, fried foods and candies.
Weight loss myth #4 - Avoid sweets to start losing weight.
This weight loss myth may easily pass for the truth.
However, you don't have to stop eating sweets to start losing weight. It's only
fair to allow ourselves to give in to our sweet tooth, if it is in our liking. Totally
avoiding sweets would only lead to unnecessary binges. Choose wisely on the
other hand, the sweets you are to eat.
Weight loss tips:
1. Choose healthy sweets like watermelon, apples, bananas, melon or other sweet fruits.
2. Choose low-calorie ice creams, brownies or processed
sweets.
3. Eat in portions.
4. Exercise regularly.
Weight loss myth #5 - Avoid eating at night time to start
losing weight.
To bust with weight loss myth, consider this weight loss
formula: Calories in < Calories. It doesn't matter when you take in the
calories. As long as you burn them off, you can start losing weight. Unused
energy will be stored as fats, whether foods are taken daytime or nighttime. In
most cases of weight gain, eating snacks at night leads to over-eating,
especially if in good company of friends and family.
Weight loss tips:
1. Eat small portions.
2. Exercise regularly.
There you have common weight loss myths explained and easy, effective weight loss tips which you can easily do at home.

Setting up a business involves a lot of planning and coordination. But generally speaking, it doesn't have to be a pain, that is, if you know the right tools, where to find them and what results they can generate. Now, setting up a business involves financial capital that you should be willing to burn, and if you don't have enough funding, it's worth checking out these four online business tools:
1. PickyDomains.com So you got a website, and now you need a domain. Problem is the domains you've come up with are already taken. With millions of top-level domains (TLDs) registered to date, that doesn't come as a surprise. Branding agencies can help you with a unique and relevant domain, but their service charges might actually surprise you - up to thousands of dollars. PickyDomains provides a solution to this problem for just a fraction of the price these agencies charge. PickyDomains, in business since 2007, uses the power of crowdsourcing to help you come up with unique, easy-to-remember and relevant names, domains and slogans for your business. Just register with the site and become a client, make an upfront $50 payment if you're looking for a name or domain, or $75 for a slogan, and come up with a list of naming specifications. If none of the suggestions you receive meets your needs, you can take your money back anytime.
2. JetRadar.com At one point or another, your business may require some serious traveling. That said, it’s a good thing airfare prices have cheapened considerably nowadays, thanks to low-cost airlines and online travel sites. Now, the bad thing about this innovation is that to find the cheapest airfare deal, customers would have to literally travel from one site to another to search and compare, an undertaking that's time-consuming and taxing at best. JetRadar.com is a free search engine that thoroughly searches through more than 700 airline sites and hundreds of online ticketing sites for the cheapest airline tickets on sale, and makes the data accessible in a single web address for the public to utilize whenever the need arises, drastically limiting, if not totally eradicating, the time it takes to compare deals and finally snag the best there is.
3. Comindware.com Generally speaking, with automation comes better estimation and forecasting. And with several web-based applications literally peppering the market nowadays, it can become increasingly difficult for small businesses and enterprises to make a choice. If you're a startupper, it's important that you choose a software system that brings tangible results to the table, as well as value for your money. Comindware Tracker is an innovative and breakthrough software solution that automates your business functions. Combined with Comindware Task Management, it allows collaboration of workflow processes, streamlining of issue tracking and efficient tracking of tasks that can potentially save you up to 50% on direct costs. With flexibility deeply embedded in the technology it's built upon, ElasticData technology, Comindware enables you to formulate and alter workflow processes whenever you feel like it. With Comindware Tracker, users see tasks and priorities clearly, automatically generate next-step projects and/or chores in a collaborative manner and view the real-time statuses of tasks they track. Depending on how many licenses you need, you can purchase Comindware Tracker at a discount.
4. Bitrix24.com Workplace efficiency is something every business strives to achieve on an ongoing basis. This is why a lot of businesses are now using CRMs and intranets for their day-to-day functions.
