The Detox Diet

Good Cleanse All It’s Cracked Up to Be?

In the last few years, “detox” diets— both long-term and short-term— have become all the rage among fad dieters. But are all these diets, drinks, pills and powders all they’re cracked up to be?

Low-Carb Mediterranean Diet – Best Diet For the New Year

A new breakthrough, long-term diet study was recently published in the American Heart Association Journal Circulation on measuring body fat! This diet study used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology for the first time, measuring changes in body and organ fat during 18 months on a Mediterranean/low-carb diet, with and without moderate physical exercise.

The Fat Loss Wars! Low-Carb versus Low-Calorie

The holiday season has come and gone, and your New Year’s resolutions are in effect. Whether you’re looking to melt off a few pounds in the next few weeks or you’d like to lose the extra unhealthy pounds you’re carrying around throughout this next year, the question of which diet really works is probably on your mind.

The Anabolic Diet for Increasing Testosterone

Men have been misled into following low-fat diets/high fiber for cardiovascular health, not realizing that low-fat/high-fiber diets cause reductions in testosterone. For example, reducing dietary fat from a moderate-fat diet (greater than 30 percent calories from fat and low fiber less than 20 g/day) to a low-fat diet (less than 15 percent calories as fat and 25-30g fat per day) significantly reduced total and free testosterone levels and adrenal androgens (androstenedione and DHEA) .

Eat for Raw Power!

Build Muscle, Burn Fat, and Increase Performance

As a sports nutritionist, I only give a flip about nutritional and supplement strategies for three things: gaining muscle, losing fat and improving performance. Don’t talk to me about health. I don’t care about that dreadful word called ‘wellness.’ What the heck is that, anyhow?

Dietary Fibers: Are They Important?

Have you ever heard of dietary fibers? Could you have ever imagined that not eating enough dietary fibers could cause many diseases including bowel cancer? Well, chances are you never took dietary fibers seriously, or perhaps you even neglected them completely.

Making Healthy Food Taste Good

Let’s admit it – eating a clean diet gets old real fast. No matter how you slice it, grilled chicken tastes pretty bland in comparison to a cheeseburger, but if you want to look good, there’s little choice but to learn how to eat stuff that is good for you real fast – or else you’ll never see any realisitic gains (or losses, depending on your goals) in the gym.
