60 Day Health Study: Creatine

After doing the 30 day health study on vegetarian living I received a lot of feedback, mostly positive and some negative. What I was greatly interested in was the increasing number of people wanting me to try new studies. One of the top things that was requested that I try was creatine. What is creatine? According to About.com Creatine is a compound that’s involved in the production of...

Elliptical or Treadmill?

Beginning a new workout routine can be daunting. One of the big questions that is asked when joining a gym or buying home workout equipment is, which is better, an elliptical or a treadmill? I’ve noticed a lot of comparisons on the obvious parts of buying equipment, but there is so much more to it than burning calories. There’s no true answer for the question, but hopefully I can help...

30 Days of Strict Vegetarian Living: Final Weeks...

The study for whether or not a strict Vegetarian diet would work has now come to a close. It’s been an interesting month seeing the changes in my body, attitude, and overall well being. The biggest change I have seen is the ridicule and outright hatred for choosing to eat a certain way. In the past month I have never been judged as much as I have been in my life. Most of this criticism has...

Love it: Dove Men+Care

A new line of facial scrubs, bath soaps and shampoos has been launched by dove. I personally love the new scents and think the branding for the new line is phenomenal. The large bold brackets encasing the text with the use of clean but masculine looking colors. The branding for the new line of bath products fits well into what dove already has established and is great if you have a guy in your...

Hate it: UGG Boots

UGG Boots to me are one of the most hideous accessories a person can own. They are named UGG for a reason and should never be worn by any person. I don’t care if there are no other boots sold in the store and all you own are flip flops. Yes, there will be some sacrifices that will have to be made, like amputating your toes from the bitter cold, but in the end you will not have committed one...

Hate it: Virginia Drivers

Virginia drivers are some of the worst drivers in the country. I’ve been to some of the largest cities (NYC, LA, etc..) and no where else do you have people cut you off and wave at you as though you did them a favor. No where else do you have the fast lane taken up with people going below the speed limit.

Alice in Wonderland: I should have been high

The ever talented Johnny Depp has teamed up with his good friend Tim Burton to create yet another eerily portrayed movie. Alice in Wonderland begins with Alice at her very own engagement party at the ripe old age of 19. The scenery and acting in the beginning scenes before falling down the whole are very much in line with Tim burton and his style of cinematography, the actors are all creepy as...

30 Days of Strict Vegetarian Living: Week 3...

It’s crazy to think that I’m already done with 3 weeks of not touching a food product that contains any trace of animal products. I only have one more week on the trial, then we get to find out if I’m actually going to eat this way from now on. If you haven’t been reading up on the study you can start from the beginning. The third week for my study has been a great week...

My Ever Changing Workout Routine

I’ve received a lot of feedback since I began posting my study about living a strict vegetarian diet for a month. One question I keep getting asked is what my workout routine and if I workout from home or at a gym. I decided I would answer this question now instead of waiting till the study is over since I have quite a few questions to answer once this is all said and done. My workout...

30 Days of Strict Vegetarian Living: Week 2...

This week has come with it’s fair share of difficulties. This past weekend I came down with what seemed like the flu. This put a damper on my workouts over the weekend and the beginning of the week. One thing I realized from losing the weight over these past few months and now eating a strict vegetarian diet is that medicine strongly affects me much more than it used to. I felt as though I...

30 Days of Strict Vegetarian Living: Week 1...

Week 1 results are in and it’s a little different than I expected it would be. As you know, if you read last weeks post, I began the strict vegetarian diet which means I don’t eat anything with animal products, including eggs or milk in them for one entire month. My caloric intake for this study was boosted 900 calories more than I normally eat, because I am wanting to gain more muscle...

In a world of Atkins, South Beach, Low Carb, Low Sugar and Low Fat diets I began to get tired of all this “diet” garbage. I’ve been becoming a little obsessed with my health, reading nutrition books and watching documentaries. If you don’t do the proper research it can become so confusing and you may end up destroying part of your diet for another. So I’ve decided...
