When I first picked up this book I didn’t think it would hold that many interesting ideas about the psychology of eating. I was wrong.
Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think by Brian Wansink should be read by anyone that has ever dieted or is ready to begin a diet. The [...]
About five years ago I read an interesting book on what was basically a modern caveman diet. When I finished I came to the conclusion the diet was way too difficult to follow in the modern world. Recently I started reading Art De Vany’s site and his Evolutionary Fitness posts, so I thought [...]
I’m so tired of people singing the praises of a particular diet as the one true way to lose weight. Diet choice has become the new religion. Most of the time when I revisit a diet evangelist months later, the weight they lost has returned. They blame themselves and not the diet.
All diets work in [...]
Last October I devoured the book SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life. It was the book I wish I had back in college when I first got interested in nutrition. That was before I discovered The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth.

Over the years quite a few people have asked me for fitness or nutritional information. As much as I try to be helpful, I’ve come to the conclusion that it has all been a waste of time. Why? In the last few years I’ve noticed, all my advice appears not to be working. With one [...]

Before I start the story, let me tell you what I dislike about [...]
I just finished reading an outstanding nutrition book on what are considered the best foods you can eat. Back in college I read a lot of nutrition books and built a diet framework with that information. Not surprisingly many of my staples have earned SuperFood status.

Last year when I visited Brazil one thing had me puzzled: How could the people be so lean when a large amount of the food was either fried or loaded with sugar?
The answer I came up with at the time was that they either ate less or just played endless hours of [...]
For the most part I eat a clean diet. Upon closer inspection I found a few things that I need to eliminate.
Mayonnaise - It’s the glue that holds my albacore tuna together. Sadly it’s mostly low quality oils and egg yolks. High low quality fats are to be avoided.
Monday I swapped my Mayonnaise for [...]
Two weeks I went over the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Nutritional Programs and patted myself on the back for following the rules most of the time. Well I may have been too quick to give myself a gold star. On closer look I’m getting too many starchy carbs and not enough protein.
A typical dinner [...]
