I was hinted about this work on Intermittent Fasting (IF) by Martin Berkhan over at Leangains.com. It’s a thorough systemic review of possibly all that we know about Intermittent fasting and how it works in animals and, to a lesser degree, in men (that’s understandable – lab animals live two years, humans quite a bit…
I mentioned elsewhere on the website that I’m a practitioner of logic and I am attracted to logic in basically all its forms (there are way too many illogical things and people on this planet – have enough of that already). I also mentioned that I am an amateur of one type of logic in…
Earlier today I ran into a nice lady in our local community gym. She did not look in great shape, but she seemed very determined. I saw that she was working out somewhat intensely and also logging everything she did after each set in a log sheet with the title ‘Bodybuilding.com’. I asked her whether…
I don’t know yet. I will explain. But before I do here are two snapshots (selfies I guess) that I took about an hour ago. These are taken at noon before my first meal for the day and after I’ve just come back from a 3-mile run, preceded by a few sets of pull-ups and…

This has been taking too long. Measures like this should have…
I’ve posted two other low-carb ice cream recipes on this blog before – Key Lime and Rich Chocolate. They were not only low-carb but also “functional“. In other words, they were designed to play the role of a complete meal (I know what you are thinking: “A bowl of ice cream is a complete meal?”)….
Which should you choose for sweetening your food – sugar or artificial sweeteners? Which sweetener is better? Is any of them “better” at all? In an experiment scientists gave rats a predetermined amount of yogurt with saccharin and another group of rats – the same amount of yogurt with glucose (1). Not only did…
The question is are more frequent and smaller meals better for you or are fewer and larger meals better? Six meals vs two meals? Which way to go? You’re probably going to ask, “Doesn’t this depend on your goal? Isn’t it different if you want to lose fat vs to gain weight/muscle?” The…
