Indiana Jones and The (Food) Temple of Boon

in Articles on May 14, 2015 May 14, 2015

Thanks to the Internet, these Mola Ram types are indoctrinating more people than ever. The “diet gurus” of the introwebz typically have no degree in nutrition and usually make outrageous claims with no scientific fact to support their wacky theories.

They vehemently preach the dangers of ice cream, pizza, Subway’s bread, and warn you of chemicals in processed foods, but since they goofed off in high school science class, they forget that everything we eat is made of chemicals.

No one should ever enslave themselves to foods they hate nor should you have to rip out your heart and sacrifice your sanity on the Altar of Dieting Doom.

Instead, you can build a Temple of Boon

The .82 Gram Protein Experiment (From Stay Puft to Buff)

in Articles on May 7, 2015 May 7, 2015

Like the salmon of Capistrano at the tail end of my 2014 “winter bulk” fat was beginning to flock everywhere making me look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man. Getting to “Stay Puft” status meant it was time to start dieting and cutting.

Unless you eat only frozen chicken and cottage cheese or down shakes all day eating over 200 grams of protein a day with a variety of protein sources gets to be expensive.

No one should ever go broke while they are trying to get bigger or leaner.

The Maddening of Madden: How a Video Game Taught Me a Lesson

in Articles on April 20, 2015 April 20, 2015

Madden constantly brings out my “Ginger Rage”, which is far worse than what happens when the Incredible Hulk loses a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. I have gone so far to punch my couch and storm into the kitchen loudly proclaiming I would never play the game again, only to turn it back on after I cooled down half an hour later.

The 9 Definitive Rules For (Somewhat) Fitness Success

in Articles on April 9, 2015 April 9, 2015

Do You Even Sith?

in Articles on March 19, 2015 March 19, 2015

The Jedi are the keepers of peace in the Star Wars universe and for thousands of years they harnessed the power of The Force for good in the galaxy. The Sith are their arch nemesis and purveyors of the “dark side” of The Force. Their intentions are evil and they have only one desire: to rule the galaxy.

Good vs evil, blah, blah, blah.

Here is the truth.

The Sith are by far better than the Jedi.

Truth is, when you commit to an active health-conscious lifestyle, it will be full of successes and failures. For a while, you will hit PR (personal record) after PR.

in Articles on February 25, 2015 February 25, 2015

Summer is quickly approaching and for many women, it means heading to the gym to get into bikini shape. For most, this translates to lacing up their running shoes and hitting the streets/treadmill. Weight loss guarantees from magazines and online blogs’ bombard women promising mind blowing results in a short time.
