The 5 Worst Things You Can Eat or Drink
I was going to put the word “food” in the title for this post, but I quickly realized that the items I’m going to list are not actually food. They are all things that you can eat that are made in a factory or chemistry laboratory. While I’m not going to say that you should […]
How Dehydration Can Make You Fat and Sick
There is lots of conflicting information out there about how much water we need to drink each day. While I don’t actually keep track, I would guess that I drink somewhere between 90 and 100 ounces of water a day. I have a 24-ounce bottle that I drink from while at work and I probably […]
What Changed About Food in 2016?
I wrote a post back in July about the changes that are coming to the food labels. Although the changes are required to be in place until July 2018, the official change happened in 2016. You can read the details on that here. Other than the food labels, there were some other changes in 2016 to […]
Blood Lab Results

No Sugar November – 2016 Edition
On November 1st, I will be through 77 days of my Holistic Hundred Challenge. The goal was to go 100 days with no sugar, no grains and doing 100 body-weight exercises each day. As I type this post, I’m still on track for my goal. I’m very proud of everyone that has joined me on […]
Best Protein Powder Review
I had a really good response to my post about pre-workout supplements, so I thought it was time to do another review of a review. I’ve been asked at least three times in the last few weeks about what type of protein powder I use. I don’t use it on a daily basis, but 2-3 […]
Healthy Food Substitutions
As I write this post, I am 38 days into 100 days of eating no sugars and no grains. There are been some temptations along the way, but I’ve managed to stay on track so far…each day it gets easier. As I do this Holistic Hundred Challenge, I’ve come across some pretty good alternatives for […]
