Soluble vs. insoluble fiber?

Once you've adjusted your diet to hit the recommended daily fiber intake, does the ratio of soluble to insoluble fiber matter?

Food sensitivity test?

I'm considering taking a food sensitivity test but I've been told they're inaccurate, is it worth trying? And what's the difference between a food sensitivity, intolerance, and allergy?

How long should workouts be?

After juggling work and family time, I only have about 30 minutes to workout, is that long enough to be effective if I'm trying to lose weight?
