Then again, I do have a hankering for some ice-cream. And I have access to an … Continue reading
I’m always up for a good experiment. And during my random browsings, I came upon yet another nutrition idea that could help my strength and conditioning. It’s endorsed by a physicist, so it *has* to work. It’s called carb backloading, and it has received a fair bit of press recently as the new big thing. … Continue reading
A little thought experiment, as I lunch on some non-organic soy-and-grain-fed chicken thighs full of omega-6’s and sip on generic mycotoxin-laden coffee with half-and-half from rBST-treated factory-farmed cows: How much would a perfect diet cost?

After some chocolate and champagne-fueled debauchery last night, I vociferously (and perhaps drunkenly) proclaimed that my midnight toast would be my last indiscretion for an entire month.
