What should I eat? When should I eat it? And when's the best time to work out? Should I hit the gym when I wake up in the morning, during lunch hour, or late afternoon? Everyone has a different opinion, whether they are an entrepreneur, a freelance photographer, a school teacher or a diehard fitness freak.

They are well-intentioned but clueless. I question the results of their efforts but decide it is unwise to offer unsolicited advice.One lady, however, is focused and pays attention to what she is doing.
