Ever since I made the change to one “clean” meal and a nightly carb-up, I’ve been falling asleep after my evening meal like Goldilocks. My redheaded intern has been suffering from the same food coma (some call it a “carb coma”) phenomenon himself. I knew part of the reason we’ve been going into a comatose…

After doing handstands four days a week for a year, intermittent fasting and eating like a rabbit for months, I was really looking forward to my beach vacation. Once in Rehoboth, I gave myself a hall pass to eat and drink everything under the sun; I am happy and sad to tell you I feel…

JaJangmyun, tangsuyuk, kimchi, and roasted barley tea. The other unique American Independence Day tradition of late is the famed Nathan’s Hotdog Eating Contest held annually on Coney Island.

I can’t believe it has been 17 weeks and only one more day to go till JUDGEMENT DAY. I have to admit I have been mired in a bit of misery like George Constanza on Seinfeld this past week because I have been eating like a rabbit on a diet. All I can see is…

Unlike Ricky Bobby, I fell just short of taking the checker flag–which means I came in last :(. My skinfold measurements had to be 10 mm on my belly…

After reviewing various fasting time frames, I settled on 16 hours fasting and 8 hours of feeding. I chose this for few reasons: I wanted to at least fit 2 meals a day and have dinner with my wife. I wanted to maximize the potential fat burn by adding 4 more hours to 12 hour…

When I used to train like a bodybuilder, I used to take a lot of supplements. From HMB, ribose, vanadyl, a funny sounding chemical derived from blue algae, herbs from Africa to India, and all sorts of protein powder that promised to magically help me pack on muscles until I looked just like The Rock.…

I have to admit I went off on a tangent in Part 1 so as they say, this blog is for you, T. Continuing my conversation with Tori, I was thinking about what was she asking me and what can I write to help her the most. To reiterate, Tori simply wanted to know, “what…
