As a result, he was very frustrated and contemplating perhaps just dropping the whole program until the beginning of the New Year when things would normalize for him. However, I advised against do... more...

Adding omega-3 fatty acids, in the form of flaxseeds, to the diets of hens increases the omega-3 fatty acid content of eggs by over six times that of regular eggs. Eating two fortified eggs may provide an adequate amount of omega-3 fat... more...

The "out of shape" want to "get in shape", so they look for workout programs to maximize muscular size and aerobic capacity.

But they are wrong! (Sorry to be so blunt, but it must be said.) The strong, lean, athletic body most people strive for is NOT the product of maximiz... more...

You have probably heard this time and time again, the old saying that fat weighs less than muscle. But is this true? In one easy point: a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. No matter how you weigh it a pound is a pound. But it is true that muscle is more dense than fat. If you have a block of muscle and an equal size block of fat the muscle will weigh more. The great thing, it is much tighter and looks a heck of a lot better than have the same weight in fat. ... more...
