Eating More Meals Does NOT Speed Up Your Metabolism

This is one of the biggest myths and misconceptions that I hear all the time in mainstream media and people trying to tell me how to eat healthy. Ask any trainer, nutritionist, doctor, diet guru…or whoever and they will probably all tell you the same thing “You need to eat small meals through out the day to keep your metabolism going”. Really?

Why Your Doctor is Wrong about Meat

Doctors are most people’s source for health and nutrition information. But no one really asked where they get their information from? Could it be from what they pick up in mainstream media? Or it is something in a journal somewhere?

The Best Breakfast is One with Lots of Cereal?

I got word from my buddy Brad Pilon (author of the popular Eat Stop Eat intermittent fasting ebook) that he was going to be on some morning show taped in NY. So I was excited that perhaps maybe the intermittent fasting message was getting some main stream attention finally. Then I saw the clip online of himself and a person who lost 60+lbs, and on the other side was a “Dr” and “Nutritionist”. That’s when the “Uh-Oh”... (read full article)
