A Bird in the Hand…
I’m sure you know the saying. And – when it comes to diet/exercise programs for losing weight and getting in shape – it’s sooooo true. One of the most self-defeating behaviors I’ve ever encountered during my time on the “Bodybuilding Revealed” and “Fat Loss Revealed” forums, is what I call “The Quest For The Best”. Simply put, most people who are on “The...
Apple Cider Vinegar Redux
When I was a kid, apple cider vinegar was one of those “good for what ails you” nostrums touted in the “alternative health” media – and it’s still kicking around. Not surprisingly, it was also pushed as a weight loss aid: I still remember the “kelp, lecithin, B6 and cider vinegar” diet quite vividly… in fact, that one is still kicking around too. Diets and diet supps are like...
Who’s Telling The Truth? The Explosion Of Supplement “Review” Sites On The Net
I published this article in a recent newsletter. It is of sufficient importance that it warrants a reprint, here on the blog. Enjoy!

Seems I’ve really irked a few folks by pointing out that ALL the documented evidence shows that HCG does not provide any benefit over that provided by a placebo. While...
Is This the Right Room for an Argument?
As the resident “scientific advisor” here at ultimatefatburner.com, I occasionally get called on to comment on issues unrelated to my primary tasks (writing bodybuilding supp and functional food reviews; blogging). Thus, it was no surprise to find an e-mail from Paul in this morning’s messages, asking for my feedback on an exchange he had with Dr. Ben Gonzalez, over his (negative) review on hCG for weight loss....
FDA Warning: Stop Using Hydroxycut Products
Hot off the presses… The FDA said it has received 23 reports of serious liver injuries linked to Hydroxycut products, which are also used as energy enhancers and as fat burners. The reports include the 2007 death of a 19-year-old man living in the Southwest, which was reported to the FDA in March. Other serious liver problems reported included liver damage that resulted in a transplant in 2002, liver failure, jaundice, seizures...
