The “Test” Test: Day 25
He’s baaaack! From his biz trip, that is. Overall, it didn’t go too badly: although he was frantically busy, John still made time for some in-room workouts. His eating was ok too: not perfect, but generally satisfactory. He was down to 3 meals, in deference to his work schedule, and made good food choices, with a little splurging at dinner (like having a couple of beers). He was hovering at 210 lbs. when he left, and...
Some Food Dyes May Help Prevent Cancer
I gotta admit, I was struck by the irony of this particular study, which was done by scientists affiliated with the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. An excerpt: In particular, the study found that two very commonly used dyes – blue number two, and red number 40 – offer a level of cancer protection in animal studies about equal to chlorophyllin.

As the fitness babe...

Why nanotechnology? I have good ol’ Muscletech to thank for...
The “Test” Test: Day 20
John has to travel this week: he left on Sunday, and won’t be back until Friday night. This means some disruption to his workout and diet. At least TSA didn’t confiscate his IsaTest…he brought it along with him, and has been sending daily bulletins. I’ll let him speak for himself…as he laid out his goals for the trip yesterday: “Big week this week. I’m traveling to out in the sticks, South...
