What’s your diet and exercise plan for the next 7 weeks?

November 13, 2012 By johnbarban

For many of us (at least in north america for sure) the next 7 weeks are going to be about end of year parties, feasts, get togethers, lousy gym hours, time off from work and generally being out of our 'routine'. This is when most of us fall off the proverbial diet and exercise wagon for all the reasons I just listed above and I'm sure there are many more I've … [Read more...] about What’s your diet and exercise plan for the next 7 weeks?

Breakfast Schmeckfast

October 24, 2012 By johnbarban

I start most of my days with a coffee. 2 sugars and 1 cream. Most times I don't have anything with it, just the plain ole' coffee on its own. It's quite rare for me to actually eat a full on 'breakfast'. In fact I think breakfast and the concept of the necessity for breakfast could be the single biggest fallacy and mistake that will ruin your ability to get lean and stay lean. … [Read more...] about Breakfast Schmeckfast

Getting in Shape is a Process not a Destination

November 9, 2011 By johnbarban

When I started working out I was about 16-17 years old. A buddy of mine and I both got weight sets and we worked out at each others houses in our basements. I was about 5'10 or so and 145-150lbs. I was pretty lanky, and I didn't really know what I was doing. All I knew is that I wanted to be bigger, that's it. I read bodybuilding magazines to find out how to workout (the … [Read more...] about Getting in Shape is a Process not a Destination

Downsizing Your Diet and Fitness Life

September 19, 2011 By johnbarban

As you move through life it seems that progress or success is associated with concept of addition and making your life bigger. When you're young you add more friends, more social activities, more responsibilities. You go from a small school to a big school, from no job to a part time job, perhaps you add in a sport or hobby. Then you may add a relationship, and responsibility … [Read more...] about Downsizing Your Diet and Fitness Life

Diet and Fitness Habits and Routines

September 13, 2011 By johnbarban

Over the past two weeks I have moved from my former dwelling to a new one, in between the two places I went on a 4 day excursion to watch the opening college football game in Syracuse and visit with a good friend of mine. When I got back into town my new place still needed to be furnished and outfitted with just about everything from the ground up. The point is that I spent … [Read more...] about Diet and Fitness Habits and Routines

How Much Protein Is In An Egg?

Eggs are an excellent source of protein and relatively cheap too. They have a very high biological value and a full complement of essential and non-essential amino acids. In short, if you wanted a complete and easy to absorb protein source look no further than eggs. With that said there are a few considerations you […]

Weight Loss Fallacies: 2lbs per week and 1200 calories per day

I received an email the other day that sums up how popular diet/fitness misinformation can leave people frustrated, upset, angry and eventually to flat out give up on the idea of getting in shape. So the email went something like this: “I just read your book and it says my RMR is approx 1250 calories. […]

Steroid Muscle vs Natural Muscle

So I guess the general theme this week is “hormones”. So the next topic that we’re going to cover was sent in by Jason and this is about steroid muscle vs natural muscle. This is a tricky topic because most celebrities, athletes and bodybuilders don’t admit or disclose the drugs they use so it’s hard […]

Eugen Sandow vs Arnold Schwarzenegger - Gold Standard Bodybuilders before and after steroids were discovered

A Steroid Free Bodybuilder You Can Trust – Eugen Sandow

Here is a good comparison picture of Eugen Sandow vs Arnold Schwarzenegger. Eugen Sandow is known as the first real bodybuilder and gained international fame for doing the first bodybuilding style poses for crowds of people. The interesting thing is that he died 10 years before testosterone was discovered… so you know he could have […]

Bodyfat Distribution Patterns

Body fat is distributed all over your body but it’s not an even distribution. For example there is a at least a little bit of fat stored in places like your forehead and the back of your hands, but obviously this isn’t a major fat storage site. For men the main site of fat storage […]

Can You Workout Through Muscle Soreness?

Question: Can I still workout if my muscles are sore? Answer: It Depends. I get this question all the time about working out through muscle soreness and the answer is that it depends. Depends on how sore your muscles really are, depends on what you’re planning on doing in the gym while you feel this […]

Danger Metabolism Slowing Ahead

Unless you have a degree in human biology …and in many cases even if you do… you do not understand what “metabolism” means. This word gets thrown around the fitness and diet media and is used to scare people into thinking there is a dangerous level of calories that will destroy their metabolism. This of […]

Using Growth Hormone For Fat Loss

Growth Hormone is a commonly abused drug in the bodybuilding culture. Although it’s name might make you think it is primarily responsible for muscle growth, it is actually used to help with recovery and above all, fat burning. In order to burn fat your body needs to have high growth hormone levels and low insulin levels. […]

How To Gain 1 Pound of FAT!

This past weekend was thanksgiving for us folks up in Canada. (I have no idea why we have a different date for this…actually, I don’t even know why we celebrate it…but whatever.) Anyway, needless to say there was lots of food and I ate a lot of food. And then I got to thinking. How […]

What Does “Healthy” Look Like?

I met up with a friend for my morning coffee today and we got onto the topic of body image (go figure) and we ended up talking about what a healthy body looks like. This is when I realized that we all have a built in image in our heads of what we think a […]

The Ultimate Stress Test

The response to the coronavirus has presented us with what could be considered the biggest stress test of ourselves individually and of our societies collectively. On one hand our life stresses have increased due to a lack of certainly about our financial futures, the political future, and what the future holds for our families, friends […]
