     With January 1st inevitably comes a whole new set of goals we want to reach by year’s end.  I’m sure most of you have set goals regarding Crossfit:  Dropping your Fran time or doing it required, a heavier deadlift, snatch, and clean, and so on.  Even more important than that, is to set goals […]

     This is just too good to pass up, however Oprah getting back to her old, gi-normous proportions is an eye opener.  This woman has more money than a Saudi Prince, can have the pick of the litter for a nutritionist and personal trainer, can have all her meals prepared for her, and purchase the

I think I figured out why everyone is fat. Excellent review on ketogenic diets and endurance. Eating 6 small meals verses 2-3 big ones. 6 meals part 2 Finally, I have to throw a plug for Pop's grassfed beef.  Their stuff is about the most reasonable around and their customer service is spot-on.

This first article has little to do with nutrition, but is excellent nevertheless.  It goes into the hip and its importance to function and power.   I feel the Zone is a great starting point for most people.  However, it is still high in carbohydrates.  Robb Wolf discusses that for many it may be too

    My eye always catches articles on health and nutrition whether on the news, web, or newspaper.  So much of the "healthy" advice given by the doctors and registered dieticians in these articles is total garbage.  Getting on my soapbox:  America is outraged at the deaths of the 4000+ volunteers who willingly and knowingly made

The subject of cholesterol came up at work the other day.  One of the guys who eats a low-carb, paleo diet had his cholesterol taken.  The results caused bells and whistles going off with the doctors.  Of course these doctors advocate a low-fat diet and (incorrectly) assume that the lower the cholesterol, the less risk
