Stuff You Should Read

Now that I have had a little time to catch my breath this week, and actually get in three quality training sessions, I have been able to not only blog consistently, but do a little reading as well.
I love reading blogs as I find they can often offer little tidbits of wisdom that often get [...]

You Asked, I Answered

Q. What are you thoughts on “Cheat” meals?  How often do you go off your diet with such a meal?  Can you give an example of such a meal?
My thoughts on cheat meals are myriad. It can vary from person to person really. Some people when they have a cheat meal can enjoy the meal, [...]

The Simulation of Dawn

A lot of writers have spent a lot of time providing people with proper habits to improve their sleep quality.

Since most American adults do not get the optimal 7-9 hours of sleep per night this can contribute to many health issues including:

increased blood pressure
increased risk of diabetes
confusion or cognitive impairment
obesity
poor attention span and more

Clearly this [...]

The Danger of Protein Powder?!?

A reader of mine sent me this video from CBS about the dangers of protein powders. It only takes about 4 minutes, so give it a quick watch, I’ll wait.
The video is based on a report on protein powders and ready-made protein drinks from Consumer Reports, which showed some protein powders failing quality testing due [...]

Kettlepot Soaps

As someone who has suffered from dry skin in the past, I am always looking for ways to improve it. I use a filtering showerhead, which works very well. I also consume plenty of healthy fats, including fish oil and borage oil, which both have made significant contributions.
Unfortunately I still found when I showered more [...]

Weighing In on Obesity

I know, lame title, but an important topic and something that I feel compelled to address.
Before I get to that I would be remiss if I did not congratulate Cressey Performance on their 3 year anniversary. CP was a wonderful experience and I would not be anywhere near the coach, nutritionist or person that I [...]

Wednesday’s Random Thoughts

A lot of stuff rattling around the brain lately. Man it feels good to be blogging consistently again (knock on wood!). Now that my wife has started her residency we seem to have finally settled into a bit of a routine, which allows me to blog on a much more consistent basis.
1. Do as I [...]

Delicious Dairy

Now that title may seem a little odd coming from the guy who wrote The Case Against Conventional Dairy, but the key part of that other blog title is the word conventional. Conventional dairy production is awful. The cows are packed in like sardines, force-fed tons of corn, milked constantly and the quality of the product [...]

You Asked, I Answered

Question: I found something through one of your articles about tea. Specifically when milk is added to green tea or other varieties of tea, the catechins are then negated by the fat content in the milk and rendered useless, now I’ve done a little light reading on it but I keep finding mixed results, some sources [...]

Stop Making Excuses!

I have come to notice a rather disturbing summer trend. People find excuses and justifications all over the place to eat like complete and utter shit.
“Well it’s the holiday”
“Well it’s so and so’s birthday” (we just had my mom, my dad, my sister and myself in a 10 day span)
“Well we are on vacation”
“Well we [...]
