Glorified Pop Tarts - The Truth behind Cereal Bars and Breakfast Bars

Road Trips.

EAT THIS, NOT THAT - Book Review

Eat This, Not That! Thousands of Simple Food Swaps that Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds–or More!

What is the best fast food in the world? That’s like saying, “Strychnine can act as a stimulant, but how much can kill you?”.

If you are on the road a lot, and have no choice but to […]

Why Food can be Better than Protein Powders

We all agree protein powders have an edge for convenience. Some are RTD (ready to drink), and some just require cold water and a shaker.

But natural wholesome food sources have extra benefits beyond powders. Beef has iron. Fish has Taurine, Omega 3 oils, and B12. Dairy products have calcium.

The Protein Book […]

Jeremy Wariner and the Simple Whole Foods Diet

This is a good example of a world class athlete chowing down on a Simple Whole Foods Diet of ribs, sausage, baked potato with sour cream, cheese, and brisket! No need to pop pills here, though, maybe some Alka-Seltzer after the meal?

Jeremy quotes, “I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want, and as […]

Interval Circuit Training Examples and Routines

The limitation of the 400 meters is not lactic acid, or lactate for that matter. Rather, it’s acidosis, or the increase of positive H+ hydrogen items that limits the muscles.

How can you tolerate this? How can you build up a resistance to this, other than typical extensive tempo workouts or special endurance workouts?

Let’s […]

Billy Mills - The Red, Green, Brown, Yellow, White Diet

If you want to see my training routine for my six-pack abs (yes, I really do have a six-pack at age 45), I’ll bring you to a shopping trip for food and groceries rather than bring you to the gym.

I recall an interview with 1964 Olympic 10K winner Billy Mills where he discussed his eating […]

Usain Bolt’s Diet and the Carb, Protein, and Fat ratio

I read an article about Usain Bolt’s Diet, and how he was not a fan of supplements, just like Jeremy Wariner (who can blame them with the scare in supplement contamination?). The only exception was Vitamin C.

The article claimed he ate six daily meals containing 30% carbohydrates, 60% protein, and 10% fats, with most […]

Tart Cherry Juice Benefits - The Next Health Antioxidant?

I’m a firm believer in a simple post-workout protein drink spiked with 5 or 10 grams of Glutamine after a hard workout. I even recommend this to my marathon runner friends to lessen the pain in their quads 1-2 days after their race.

And for sleep, I simply take Melatonin or Sleepzyme if I need […]

What do Kevin Trudeau and Jose Canseco have in Common?

What do Kevin Trudeau and Jose Canseco have in common?

Kevin Trudeau is infamous for being an infomercial mogul. First, he made is Mega Memory System a hit on the late night infomercials. His next big seller was the book Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About (2005). His follow up […]

Yoga, Resistance Stretching, and now Pilates Exercise?

I had a funny feeling Pilates was going to be popular with Track and Field athletes one day, along with the Alexander technique. In the personal fitness industry, we’ve seen the fad go from step classes, spinning bicycles, Tae-Bo, Bikram Yoga, kettlebells, swiss balls, bosu balls and other “core” fads.

I personally like good old-fashion […]

Omega 3-6-9 for weight management: A Cardiosterol approach
Overweight people in today’s modern society are quite often starving for a certain kind of fat. Because eating habits have changed so dramatically in the past century, our bodies are deficient in the Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 […]

Personal Goal Setting & Planning Success

Just before the New Year’s, I wrote a post on The Power of Writing Down Your Goals.
Tom Venuto had another great example that didn’t include Harvard Graduates. In his Blog, he wrote:
(Guess Who)
“I will come to America, which is the country for me. Once here, I will become the greatest bodybuilder in […]

Post-Workout Recovery Drinks and Fat Loss

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

I remember the fall of 1988 where my varsity athletes had to attend a compulsory “Awareness seminar” on Drugs.
Now we all remember what happened in September 1988, right? But after sitting in a room with hundreds of varsity athletes and coaches, they failed to mention the number 1 most harmful and deadly drug in […]
