I love the advice and knowledge that Tom imparts. It’s practical and effective – twin killers when it comes to getting lean and muscular permanently. Tom has a new article – Metabolic Damage – where he speaks of confusion and misunderstanding that exist among those that think drastically cutting calories is the way to getting [...]

March 29, 2011 By 1 Comment
There’s been a lot of trust built between supermarkets and consumers (you and me ) over the years. But is that trust deserved? Of course, in many ways, the question is moot. Because our options are limited when it comes to hunting, farming, gathering, etc. for our food. That leaves supermarkets. Not to be cynical, [...]
When is “Light” not Healthy?
February 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I continue to be amazed at the stuff that food manufacturers get away with. Sometimes, it irritates me greatly…sometimes it saddens, especially when it involves a brand that I like. A while back, I wrote an article about reading food labels as a first, needed step to losing weight, or getting control over your eating habits. [...]

People – and especially the media – often view food and nutrition as if it’s composed [...]
