    Rate the Tips !!

    Not to sound bitter or anything but before the site overhaul I made a suggestion that people be able to rate posts on tips. It was totally shot down. Needless to say I still think its a good idea and an alternative way to find interesting posts without having to throw them all into a bible.

    Flax seed oil?

    While I haven't read any bad reports on flax seed oil, if you are concerned you can take Fish Oil for your EFA's. Consider Cod Liver Oil, people have been taking it for years and the only reason it has really fallen out of favor with Moms is that they decided to put Vitamin D in milk and its...

    Man vs. Beast

    Yeah it was a silly show but I happened to catch the tug of war between the orangutan and the Sumo wrestler. It probably would have been more interesting with a power lifter, but it wasnt even a contest! The orangutan with those thin arms looked bored and the Sumo was genuinely out of breath and...

    Are some Calories better than others?

    Um, yeah. A calorie is just a calorie, a measurement like an inch or a Newton. But there is a little more to it. Get comfortable, sit back and read this: How Food Works Sure you can drink all that OJ and get all those calories, but its going to be assimilated very quickly to the...

    music while working out

    Danceable trance music, especially Big Beat ...bands such as Crystal Method, Propellerheads, Fatboy Slim, Fluke [the dance remixes], etc. For running I listen to the "Run Lola Run" soundtrack, I can run to the point of exhaustion with that; yes kinda corny since the movie is about running but...

    coral calcium

    LOL I guess a super race of humans will have extra long eyebrow hair. anyway, Im sure it does some good and supplies the body with calcium, but whether it re-constructs the body atom by atom or whatever it is they say is bogus.

    coral calcium

    Its just marketing hype. I bought a juicer to help get more vegetables into my diet. In the booklet are recipes like "Body Cleansing Tonic", "Blood Regenerator", "Nail Strengthener" etc... And the ingredients are nothing more than regular vegetables like carrots, celery, kale, etc! If all...

    Appetite Supression

    Fats are very slow to leave the stomach, which when empty causes those appetite feelings. Just add a small amount of "good" fat to your meal might help. For instance, I find taking just a teaspoon of flaxseed oil helps me feel more satisfied after eating a less caloric dense meal. Of course...

    Whole Milk? what does it do?

    Our european ancestors survived during the harsh winters because of keeping livestock and drinking their milk. If you are not lactose tolerant then you have lineage to these goat herders from hundreds of years ago. Milk from a cow has a similar balance of nutrients and enzymes to human milk...

    Help! I'm addicted...

    What did it for me was when I decided to fast for a week. Yeah it was pretty drastic but after eating nothing but fast food all through college I needed to do something. After I came off the fast I only ate at home, and pretty much broke my habit of stopping off at the McDonalds after work. I...

    Cardio tips

    Maurizio Thats fine for an athlete such as yourself, but when the original poster mentions that they can "watch TV while working out" gives me visions of fatties peddling on a Cruise in the Bahamas while trying not to spill Pina Colatas over themselves. Thats why I was asking if he was...

    What do ya guys do during winter for cardio?

    During winter I find boxing to be a great indoor cardio routine. Get a heavy bag, either one that hangs from the ceiling or one you fill with water/sand that sits on the floor. Shadow boxing is ok to practice form, but as far as a routine its best to punch having some sort of resistance.
