I'm sorry that it has been awhile since this site has been updated.  My computer went down and the one at work won't let me onto the website.  Whatever.  My nutritional mentor started a new website.  It is definitely worth checking out.  PaNu. Here is a short and simple explanation of fats and the BS […]

It gets old trying to explain to different people what I eat and why I eat that way.  I get sick of the, "Well, you gotta eat whole grains to be healthy.  Where else can you get your fiber and B vitamins?"  It is annoying as hell.  Fortunately, at Pay Now Live Later, they have

Cholesterol and piss-poor scientists.Another good explanation of cholesterol and it's history. Here are a bunch of articles on vitamin D.   If you have kids in school  bringing home every nasty disease,  I recommend reading through all of them. Another take on the second law of thermodynamics. I guess Neaderthals mostly ate meat.  I always have wondered

I'm trying to get caught up on things that I have been meaning to post, so here they come. A former teammate of mine, and a friend to some of us who have been around Coronado for awhile, succumbed to cancer recently.  He was a father, husband, and a pipehitter.  Right after I found out,

    I can't help but watch THIS VIDEO CLIP and subsequent INTERVIEW with a twinge of jealousy.  I want  this to be my gym.  This is what Crossfit was before there were such things as bumper plates, pullup bars, and Dynamax balls.  The movements are completely timeless and represent the ultimate in function and true fitness. 

     I have a bunch of different articles that I have been meaning to post, but I have been completely slacking.     The first is an article about vegetable oil and weight gain.    Here are a few from Robb Wolf's site.  The first one discusses T.
