During Super Bowl XLIV, most of America saw the commercial for Denny’s Free Grand Slam Breakfast. It’s the second year the diner is offering this promotion, and it will no doubt lead to very long lines on Tuesday, February 9, when the free breakfast is available.
While the meal might not cost you anything, your body will pay dearly.
Made of 2 pancakes, 2 sausage links, 2 strips of bacon and 2 fried eggs, the original Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfast has:

50g Fat (daily recommendation is 65g total)
460mg Cholesterol (more than the 300mg/day recommendation)

How often do you slip on a new shoe and feel like it was made for you? It doesn’t happen very often. The other issue with new shoes is that whole breaking-in period, which can wreak havoc on your first workout or two together.
That’s why I love the K-Swiss Tubes, a new sports shoe from the popular shoe maker. Straight out of the box I felt like the shoe wrapped and hugged my foot for a perfect fit. And I didn’t have to go through any of that breaking-in nonsense, they were comfortable from the start.
If my word isn’t enough, maybe Jillian Michaels‘ will be. She was seen wearing a pair of K-Swiss Tubes during her Ellen appearance last month, in which she showed the talk show star a few at-home workout moves.
It’s a dramatic start for week five at the Biggest Loser. The episode opens up with a frantic call from the medical trainer, Sandy. He calls production to let them know that Miggy is being sent to the hospital due to abdominal pain.
Then, it’s finally time for the yellow and blue teams to come back to the ranch! The blue team drops an impressive 63 pounds, while the yellow team drops an astounding 76 pounds. The yellow team secures a spot back on the ranch to compete with the other contestants for the grand prize of $250,000. They also gain immunity and this week’s only vote at elimination.
“I went to the ranch to save my son’s life,” said Maria Ventrella, mother of the show’s heaviest contestant ever, Michael Ventrella. “Then I woke up and realized this is for [me], too!” The consummate caregiver had arrived on the ranch with goal, to help her son regain his health and his life, but in her brief three weeks on the show, Maria found new motivation for herself.
Following her elimination, Maria spoke with us about what life is like now that she has made herself a priority, stating that “I’m important, too!” She also explains how making simple substitutions in her cooking allows her to still enjoy many of her favorite foods. Listen now, and then continue reading to learn more about Maria’s journey.
