There Are No Magic Pills
As y’all know, I moderate two private fitness forums: one focused on fat loss, the other on building muscle. Thus, I frequently field questions about supplements: both individual ingredients and branded formulas. Here’s the deal: every so often, a new member will join one of the forums, and proceed to ask question after question about supps. They almost never ask for feedback on their nutrition or workouts…just...
Oprah, Illinois AG Go After Acai Supp Marketers
First, Oprah… according to the Chicago Tribune: Alleging Internet marketers are using her name without permission, Oprah Winfrey–through her corporate vehicle, Harpo Inc.–on Wednesday filed a federal trademark infringement suit against 40 peddlers of dietary supplements. …Last year, Oz praised the anti-aging properties of the acai berry.

Supersize Him – The Sequel
Back in March, I wrote a brief post on Australian trainer/model Paul James, who decided to gain 40kg of fat in an effort to understand what his clients go through when attempting to lose weight.

If you’ve ever seen the movie “Dodgeball”, then you know who White Goodman is. Played by comedian Ben Stiller, the over-the-top fitness nazi and owner of “Globo Gym” is a short man with an oversized ego. As he quips in the TV commercial that opens the movie: “Here at Globo Gym we’re better than you… and we know it.” Needless to state, White Goodman is always looking out for...
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...
