Sound The Alarm! Send out the Infantry! Call in the Coast Guard, the FBI, the CIA, PETA! Hell, Future Farmers of America need to know about this! I ate bacon on Saturday! It’s true. I feel like I have betrayed you all. The worst part is, I liked it. Of course I liked it. I knew I was going to like...

I think I may be personally responsible for the demise of the fast food economy in Utah County, Utah (yes our county name is the same as our state name). This morning I slept later than usual. My body is still trying to adjust to the new Tuesday, Thursday 4am wakeup time. Because I slept late I didn’t...

I looked down into my garbage can at work today and noticed a mountain of water bottles. Just out of curiosity I rummaged back through the rubbish vagrant style to count how many bottles of water I had consumed during the day. 9! That’s right; I drank 9 – 16.9 ounce bottles of water between the...

I wrote an article a few months ago about how cutting soda out of our diets can  help us to lose weight. It was a real vice of mine and I ended up quitting cold turkey back in July. Read about how I quit drinking soda here. The New York City Health Department has taken it a step further and is encouraging...

What is a VLCD? How many of you ate a lunch that looked like this today? I hope the answer is none of you! Even the Olsen twins think this meal looks scarce. The truth is that we have people eating these types of “meals” every single day on a quest to get skinnier. It’s obvious that...

I’ve been hearing a lot about this exciting new phenomena known as New Moon. Supposedly it’s some type of vampire romance story with a gothic/tween following that will be debuting in movie theaters everywhere at the stroke of 12:00 tonight. I’ve seen a lot of excited people around the...

Junk food presents itself in many different forms. We all have our guilty pleasures, but a friend of mine pointed me to a website that takes junk food to a level far beyond anything that I had ever seen before. I’ve been known to put away salty, sugary foods with the best of them, but the images on...

I love food. I almost love food this much. I’ve never tried to execute that type of maneuver (Possible TMI), but I can’t say that it’s never crossed my mind. Learning about proper nutrition has been one of the key parts to my weight loss success. Every day I learn about the nutritional...

It took 72 days but it finally happened…I craved! I’m not saying that I haven’t been tempted to make a bad food choice in 72 days, but this was one of those experiences where I could smell the food without even being around it. I felt like an addict looking for his next fix. I was...

I’m not sure that I’ve mentioned this before, but the key to a successful weight loss diet is to eat right 90% of the time. I don’t know of anybody with the willpower to eat perfectly 100% of the time for a long extended period of time. When I say “eat right”, I mean to follow a...
