Panasonic ER389K
2008-11-25This the second ER389K that I have purchased. The first one lasted over 20 years. I especially like the fact that it has a built in charger. It's a great beard trimmer.

nice trimmer
2008-11-22heres a tip if you want a closer trim or shave. remove the blade head and bend the two springs that guide the cutter blade.using a flathead screwdriver i pushed down on the spring right were it is bent, and flattened it a little bit at a time, while checking the overlap of the top and bottom blades.i stopped when the blades were just shy of zero overlap. its been a month, so far the adjustment has not changed and i get a closer shave.

Good trimmer at a good price
2008-11-16No bells and whistles, just a quality beard trimmer at a very reasonable price. Compact, yet fits nicely in my hand. No recharger unit needed, as the trimmer plugs directly into AC outlet.

The best beard trimmer ever......
2008-11-16Panasonic ER389K Rechargeable Beard and Mustache Trimmer I have had this make & model for several years and the day it "died" I was disappointed that I would not find one like it again. Thank you Amazon!!! This trimmer has the re-charger built in, so you just plug it into the wall. Others have a separate re-charger with a long cord and no place to have it on you bathroom counter. Does a nice even trim too that my wife LOVES :-)

Doesn't trim close enough to suit me.
2008-11-09I like the compact design without a separate charger. I miss having a pop up trimmer.

Lipolysis: burning the body fat
Did you know that body fat biochemically is really close to "burning" when we lose weight?The process of burning, generally, occurs when molecules of oxygen join the "burning" substance turning it into something different. The substance of body fat turns into fatty acids in the process of lipolysis ("melting" the lipids - fats). These fatty acids are used as fuel for body's energy needs. Lipolysis is a very complex process though. It's under control of brain: if the nerves connecting fat tissues with the brain are temporarily switched off by anesthetics, the lipolysis stops. If the centers of lipolysis control in the brain is damaged, a living creature can dye from starvation while its fat depots, sometimes huge, remain unused.There are also many hormones and other regulators of bodily functions that affect fat burning, for instance, vitamins - some of them increase, some of them decrease the lipolysis rate. The most potent lipolitics (fat burners) are also stimulants like caffein and ...
Low carb foods in Low Carb Diets
Some diets rely on low carb foods with a low glycemic load. The term "glycemic load" is used to describe the amount of carbohydrates appearing in the blood after eating a certain serving of a food. Meats and dairy products are low carbohydrate foods because of their low carbohydrate content leading to low glycemic load. Raw vegetables and fruits, while containing the same amounts of carbohydrates as cooked ones, are considered acceptable under low carb diets because ounce for once, they only elevate blood glucose levels to a lesser degree.
