Playing With Your Food

January 23, 2011

As some may have noticed, I haven’t been posting here recently. Life gets in the way, and priorities change – I haven’t been reading all too much about health and fitness related research and hence have had not much to say. For most people, it’s times like this when all hell breaks loose on the [...]

Børge Fagerli’s Advanced Concept Diet v2.0

November 21, 2010

I have found many of Børge Fagerli’s (owner of MyRevolution.no) articles and tips to be really useful. One of which is his Advanced Concept Diet v2.0. It was a really great read, chock full of great advice based on both practical and scientific knowledge. It was so good that I decided to do a translation [...]

Why Body Recomposition is Hard, and How I got it right

September 15, 2010

I said in my previous post about ‘How I mastered eating Leangains Style’, that there were some physiological benefits to eating in a fast-feed pattern. In particular, I was interested in the much coveted goal of body recomposition: simultaneous fat loss and muscle gain. Now that I’ve had some personal experience with this, I’ll present [...]

June 27, 2010
Thumbnail image for 10 Foods that Sobataged My Fat Loss Efforts

I’ve dieted in the past, and while I kept to “healthy” foods, I still had trouble with adherence. Back then, I created a (mental) list of foods that I must avoid to prevent me from blowing my diet. These were 10 of those foods: Nuts – Pure Calorie Bombs Nut butters – peanut butter, almond [...]

Scale weight is simply that – the weight that you see when you step on a weighing scale. TV shows like ‘The Biggest Loser’ have shown that we’re obsessed with scale weight. As such, many people who embark on a diet use scale weight as the defining factor of reaching their goals. That’s good, since [...]

Basically, it’s not the healthiest route forward. Regardless of whether you’re an athlete or an office worker, going vegetarian isn’t the smartest thing to do. It’s Hard to Get Enough Protein Protein has many benefits which I talked about in the recent article ‘How Much protein should you eat?‘. Unfortunately, getting enough protein from non-meat [...]

How much protein should you eat?

June 5, 2010

Athletes are known to put strong emphasis on consuming dietary proteins. Lyle McDonald does a great post on how much protein athletes need. That begs the question: What about everyone else? Protein is one of the most important nutrients in the body, yet the general populus doesn’t seem to care about it. Here’s what their [...]

Coffee

Caffeine is one of the most ubiquitous drugs you can find. Available over-the-counter for a low price, it’s indispensable to some, and detested by others. Some (most) people claim that they can’t do without it, and others ardently claim that coffee is the root of all evil, citing anecdotal evidence of feeling much better without [...]

For most people, any holiday is a time to eat and be merry. Obviously, all that extra food has to go somewhere. Why is that in our interest? Because knowing that would better our understanding of how to deal with it. Indirectly, this gives the obsessive amongst us a certain peace of mind (instead of [...]

How Fast Can You Lose Fat?

March 30, 2010
Thumbnail image for How Fast Can You Lose Fat?

In one sentence: as fast as your protein requirements let you. First, there are stupid ways to do this. Some of those ways (juice fasting, relying on designer shakes, etc) are stupid at best and dangerous at worst. I am interested in the scientifically and anecdotally verified method of losing fat as fast as possible, [...]
