Food is not a product we purchase like buying a new printer for our computer. Through biological drives, habits and conditioning, addiction, allergies and the overwhelming obesogenic environment of modern-day America we make food purchases for reasons far beyond its naturally-intended purpose–FUEL FOR THE BODY. Because this will NEVER change on a mass scale regulation [...]
I wrote this originally back in 2006. Today, I did NOT attend a funeral. I am posting this here because I think it’s a good reminder for me or anyone else who feels remotely similar and needs the same reminder.
Death Is Not Last Goodbye
Today I attended a funeral of a family member on Tracy’s side. [...]
Base 10 Training is a name I have given to the following protocol of resistance training

PURPOSE:: To determine if protein supplementation (PRO) prior to an acute bout of heavy resistance training (HRT) [...]
Hey, Tracy and I got ourselves a blu-ray DVD player this year for Christmas. Got a Samsung on a doorbuster for $128 — cheap. I got the Samsung because it had the Netflix capabilities built in to it.
I’ve done Netflix before — they do a good job but I haven’t been with them in probably [...]
I got an email from Brian Tracy today and in it he talked about the value of accountability. Boy did he hit the nail on the head. I really like what he had to say and I’ve included it in this message below.
As a regular Leanness Lifestyle student and member there is accountability available. Setting [...]
A study was recently published in a respected journal called Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise regarding the ergogenic and antioxidant effects of spirulina. No journal is the end-all be-all but I was surprised to see such a positive outcome about spirulina published in that journal. In any given month I review 20-25 different [...]
Someone recently asked me on Facebook if the Taco Bell drive thru diet was for real.
Taco Bell has been offering Fresco-style alternates to their everyday menu choices for a few years now. Basically with Fresco style they skip the cheese and sour cream. When I go to Taco Bell that’s how I always get my [...]
