This is may be my second or third successful attempt at a slow 720 degrees rotation while keeping my body in a straight line as much as anatomically possible. Naturally, I am going through a Front Lever, then into a Back Lever and all the way down closing the circle. Then back up again –…
In my last article I wrote about the different dietary protein needs in general. I also expressed that although it is clear who needs baseline protein levels (current RDA), who needs more than that and who needs less, it is still not very clear how to determine the exact needs for each individual. In order…

A few days ago under the title ‘Good calories bad calories – what we know’ I posted my notes on the main points of the ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories’ (GCBC) book as I saw them while I was reading it. Long before I actually read the whole book I had read a rebuttal by Stephan…
I just finished reading the book Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. I was taking some notes during my reading it – notes about things that struck as stuff that should have been known by the general population but it is not. Here is what we know so far: Exercise does not help weight…
