  • Grabbing for Stomach Share

    I came across a few really interesting things on the web yesterday: Read this: The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food Interesting information about companies and the quest for“stomach share” — the amount of digestive space that any one company’s brand can grab from the competition. Today, one in three adults is considered clinically obese, along…

  • Face Reading: What Your Face Tells About You

    The other day I was flipping through channels and came across a show that was highlighting Chinese Face Reading and how it can help diagnose health problems. I don’t know about you, but I had never heard about it but it makes total sense. Think about it — we all have heard that acne is…

  • Don’t be Afraid of the Dark Meat

    I took an unplanned rest day this morning.

  • Rest When Your Body Tells You

    Sometimes you need a reminder of how far you have come to keep your mind from focusing on the recent slip ups.  Look at this pic from 2009. I look bloated and puffy.  This was the start of me getting healthy. I was working out often but didn’t change my diet. I look so different…

  • Find the Best Possible Diet For You

    So I was considering doing that three day cleanse that I posted late last week but the more I talked with people and thought about it — all I need to do is get my head in the game and start eating clean again. Coach Chef from CrossFit Rubicon gave me some good stuff to…

  • To Cleanse or Not…
