Post-Workout Recovery Drinks and Fat Loss
April 21, 2008 by Jimson Lee
I am very big on post-workout recovery drinks. Why? Because my commute back home from the track is 20-30 minutes. And by the time dinner is ready, we are looking at up to 2 hours from the end of the workout to sitting down at the dinner table. Certainly not good […]
Calories in Alcohol and Weight Loss
March 5, 2008 by Jimson Lee
I remember the fall of 1988 where my varsity athletes had to attend a compulsory “Awareness seminar” on Drugs.

Healthy Weight Loss Program: The Importance of Stable Blood Sugar
November 20, 2007 by Jimson Lee
With the upcoming Holiday season approaching, one of my biggest fears as a coach is an athlete gaining weight due to (1) decreased training due to winter conditions and lack of indoor facilities and (2) increase food and alcohol consumption. I’ve even had a distance runner give blood, which is excellent for humanitarian reasons, […]

October 11, 2007 by Jimson Lee
One of my earliest articles written on this blog was the 7 types of “fat burning” supplements where I mentioned L-Carnitine and Actetyl-L-Carnitine as one of the safer fat burning supplements.
It is also an ingredient in some pre-competition “mental alertness” or “neurotransmitter” energy drinks.

If you remember Covert Bailey from PBS decades ago, he emphasized exercise over diet by means of fat metabolism, and how it was impossible to lose weight by diet alone.
His best selling book The New Fit or Fat revolutionized America’s thinking about diet, exercise, and weight loss.
This article emphasizes the same points.
Losing weight, and […]

I prefer to mix my Gatorade at half-strength, as the suggested dilution is too concentrated, and it cuts the costs in half. You can read the full article here.

The 31.5 Minute Workout
January 15, 2007 by Jimson Lee
They say Roger Banister, the first man to break the 4 minute mile in 1954, used to train hard 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week while in medical school. While training methods have advanced in the last 50 years, the one thing remains constant: time.

January 8, 2007 by Jimson Lee
With all the choices of “fat burning” supplements out there, it’s very confusing for the average consumer what the differences are. I’ve broken down the “fat burning” supplements into 7 categories (not in any particular order):
1. Ephedrine and Ephedra. Ephedrine and its herbal forms Ephedra and Ma Huang are often included in supplements […]
