Coconut Conclusion

So, this is the end of the coconut oil experiment. Seeing as I wrote about it earlier, I should probably have some sort of conclusion. I really don’t have much to say that I haven’t already. I still notice elevated energy levels that are most apparent after a hard workout.

I also experienced a 3 pound [...]


Chubby people, rejoice!

A Japanese study has shown that people who are a little overweight live longer than skinny people. That’s something that other studies have shown, but the surprise comes in the fact that it’s a whopping six to seven year difference.

“Main reasons for the shorter lifespans of skinny people were believed to include their heightened vulnerability [...]


Coconut Oil - 2 weeks in

Thanks to some advice from Cassandra I think I have this thing down. The blender is THE way to go.

What’s working for me is two different blender recipes:

The Fat Shake with Protein

4-6 oz. of water
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
2 Tablespoons heavy cream

Blend on high for 30 seconds then add

1 heaping scoop of whey protein

Blend on high [...]


Food=Freedom

In New York City, if you go into a McDonald’s or just about any other big name fast food restaurant, you’ll notice by every menu item is a calorie count. It’s there because it’s the law, and it might soon be the law for the rest of the country.

This is only the first step. I [...]


Coconut Oil

I’ve had my views on what is healthy food changed over the past year and I’m still learning new things. The other day I saw a video from Sean Croxton of Underground Wellness concerning coconut oil. He made lots of claims for what coconut oil can do, but the one I was most interested in [...]


Xtreme Forced Diet™

What would you say if I told you I could help you lose weight? I’m serious, I can make it happen. You’d get personal attention and put on a proven plan to help you lose that weight. 

Not convinced? Well, why would you be, I haven’t said anything yet. 
 
Here’s what will happen. After consultation, my plan [...]


Acai Berry Annoys Me.

Somehow the “new” super food, acai berry is being made into a magical fruit. I’ll give that it’s probably a great source of vitamins and nutrients, but by no means is this thing the cure all that some people are claiming it to be. It won’t make you younger, it won’t make you thinner, it [...]


Skinny Idiots

There’s so many diet books out, it’s staggering. Hell, even Randy Jackson has one. Yes, the American Idol judge, Randy Jackson. Has anyone looked at that guy and thought, “Now there’s a man who’s got his finger on the secret to health.”?
 
Even with the mountains of books with conflicting plans, there’s one that sticks out [...]


Eat this not that…

I thought it was kind of cool at first, but now the whole idea is just boring.
What started as a cool idea for a quick Men’s Health page of “Hey, rather than having that Big Mac, did you know a grilled chicken salad will save you a zillion calories” kind of thing.  Since I was [...]


BMI Babies

Here’s a shot story from Fox News that bothers me concerning children’s weight.
 
Some Massachusetts health officials have decided it’s a good idea to require BMI measurements to be sent home to parents. These measurements will be done and reported starting with kids in 1st grade and continue up to 10th grade. 
 
Starting to address their weight [...]
