    How Much Protein Do We Need (How many Protein Shakes per Day)??

    The RDA for protein intake is 0.8 grams per kilo of lean body mass. Sellers of protein powder seem to promote to double that intake with little to no real evidence to support this number. I really don't believe any gym goer, really needs to greatly exceed 0.8 grams of protein. The RDA would...

    Does protein powder make you bulky?

    THIS is one of the most common questions I get from women. If you read no further the simple answer is … no. So the next question is, do you need it then? The answer to that is not so simple. Most women want to be lean and fit looking. The misconceptions are that protein, especially powder, is...

    Camel Milk

    Tried a bit this morning. The price has come down my wife tells me; it's only $25/L, down from $100/L not long ago. First impression; I found it too much on the salty side, not in a nice way (like salted nuts for example). It's touted to have all these different benefits of which controlling...

    Chromium Picolinate and cancer

    Ok. Everything causes cancer, but I have always been wary of chromium supps. Chromium was one of the major contaminants that were found at the infamous Love Canal site in New York. Lots of cancer cases came up after a new housing development was planted on a toxic waste dump. Well, the land was...

    Easy flexible dieting

    Finally some research that people will find useful!!

    Oral sex is good for women's health and makes you feel happier, according to a study which studied the effects of semen's 'mood-altering chemicals'. The State University of New York study - which scientists carried out via survey rather than through practical experiment - compared the sex lives...

    How are you supposed to activate your nuts?

    Well, I've tried Pete Evan's way of activating my nuts by soaking them overnight. A bunch of almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts for my morning brekky. The morning after I checked them out and they have turned slightly bloated and soft. And not terribly tasty in my opinion. So how do you guys...

    How much nuts is too much?

    Am thinking of upping my calories due to the fact that I think I am still getting leaner. While I probably need more carbs, I don't really want to start eating rice/bread/pasta etc. Was thinking of increasing the nuts as that is probably the easiest way to load up the calories. I'm already...
