What did I just eat?

I have read a good number of books on nutrition since I’ve gone through my transformation. It’s amazing to me how health and fitness truly is a journey and not a destination….if I may borrow that phrase from Dr. Baker. So with that thought in mind, I just have to share a really down to earth, […]

Recipe: Avocado Tuna Salad (from INSANITY: THE ASYLUM™)

I have always loved getting into the nutrition guides of new programs like P90x and Insanity. I have always listened to the advice that nutrition is 50% of the success with these programs, and I couldn’t agree more.  So I’m thrilled yet again as I review the nutrition plan for Asylum and here is my […]

Never too old to get fit!

I just love this guys attitude! I’m not chasing youthfulness. I’m chasing health. People have been brainwashed to think that after you’re 65, you’re finished. We’re told that old age is a continuous state of decline, and that  we should stop working, slow down and prepare to die. I disagree. To me, a 65-year-old is young. I turn […]

Shakeology 3 day Cleanse

A common question I get about Shakeology is how to do the 3 day cleanse. Here is an excellent video on how to do it. I don’t recommend it while in a middle of an intense workout program like P90x or Insanity. But if you are coming off a vacation or getting ready to start a […]

Shakeology – Superfoods Central

How cool is it that even Oprah’s O magazine is talking about Shakeology? specifically, they are giving the spot light to Darin Olien who co-produced Shakeology. I love how they sum up Olien..  Olien consumes no processed foods, no polysyllabic ingredients invented in labs, no high-fructose corn syrup or trans fats, no artificial flavorings, no antibiotic-laced dairy products, […]

How I kicked the Diet Coke addiction

Celebrating my one year anniversary from kicking Diet Coke out of my life!! Funny, I never thought I could end that relationship and then I just went cold turkey in one day. I think the major driving force has been the continued news reports not only about Aspartame but how even the innocent sounding “Carmel […]

Less stress, better sleep may help you lose weight

In fact, although diet and exercise are the usual prescription for dropping pounds, high stress and too little sleep (or too much of it) can hinder weight loss even when people are on a diet, the researchers report. “We found that people who got more than six but less than eight hours of sleep, and […]

Mi0 Water Enhancer – NOT

Have you seen the latest all out marketing campaign for the water flavoring product called Mi0? Watching the commercial I was already yacking as they swirl this red thick liquid into a perfectly clean glass of water. The red coloring misting and swirling through the water. All I can think about is the petro-chemicals used for the color […]
