I think most of us have heard of Jack LaLanee before, he is amazing. As he turns the ripe young age of 94 tomorrow, he is still active, working out, swimming and mentally sharp as a tack (which is rare nowadays with the aging population). It’s amazing to see someone not only that old, although he may not like being called old so I’ll say “aged” instead, but more importantly functional, strong and smart as ever. Jack has been around a long time preaching the benefits of exercise and proper nutrition and …

How’s your morning been? Did you stumble out of bed sleep-deprived (yet again)? Were you sent into a downward spiral when you discovered you were out of coffee filters? Did your toddler/teenager make getting ready an obstacle course and emotional battlefield? Any brushes with road rage (or just annoying road construction) on the way into work? Forgot the bills on the kitchen table again? Have a new project with …
Here’s a quick post for everyone as I feel it is important that we all need some awareness of a recent marketing trend of the High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) industry, and then some humor to recover and brighten our day and weekend. This is the Yin-Yang of posts.

But you know what?
In a real fight I know a hard kick to the balls or jamming my fingers in someone’s eyes is going to work a lot better than ANY fancy amount of “black belt” moves.
Best of all: …
How many diet books do you think are out there? Take some time one day to walk around your local bookstore and go into the health/diet/fitness section. I do this every couple months just to see what the heck people are trying to sell off nowadays as the “latest and greatest” diet to ever come along.

Low carb diets. Slow carb diets. No carb diets. What really works for weight/fat loss? Well, most all do to some degree depending on many factors. Unfortunately with the mountain of diet books out there and all their claims one can get easily confused and lose focus of the big picture.
