WARNING: The following post is a bit on the rant side.
I am going to say something that is going to piss a lot of people off. And I’ll probably get tons of emails, but I don’t care. I am passionate about this.
Here it is: Gastric bypass is a tool of the weak.
Ok, maybe not all the time, but *WAY* too much of the time. I will concede that there are people out there that have two options; either go under the knife or under the ground. Those people are not as plentiful as some would have you believe.

Wait, don’t answer.
Actually it was really meant to be more of a rhetorical question. Plus it was rhetorically aimed at some news and research dorks. So don’t answer.
So why did I even ask the question? Well you see this past week a study came out the said exercise does not boost metabolism. Yes, they claimed exercise DOES NOT boost metabolism.
So that is why I posed the question: “Do I look stupid?” Because despite the above photographic evidence to the contrary, I am not. (So stop laughing.)

Yes it’s true.
I ate all that crap. I cheated big time. And I’ll do it again.
Actually that’s pretty close…
All that junk food found its way down my pie hole and yet somehow I still lost 5 lbs this week.
How? Easy. It’s all in the timing.
I have a single cheat day: Saturday. I eat whatever I want, however much I want. When Sunday rolls around I am done with the binge buffet (kidding) and I’m back on the plan. It is really that simple.

Whenever there is something very cool in this world someone will try to knock it off. The shelves of electronic stores are filled with iPod clones.
Here is another example:
Looks like an Oreo right?
Well it ain’t. It’s a Hydrox – close but no cigar.

Oh yeah, the real deal. Got milk?
So what do you think the fine folks at Oreo thought when the strikingly similar Hydrox came out? According to the old adage they should be flattered right? Thrilled even.
F that. You know they were pissed.

I’m sure you all remember Kirstie Alley as super stoic and sexy Vulcan, Lt. Saavik from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. Although I hear she also had some success on some little TV show about a bar where everyone knows your name…
Live long, and prosper.
Well wherever you remember her from, you probably know the story by now: She got fat.
Twice.
I know as well as anyone that bodyweight can fluctuate throughout the year. Life gets in the way and s^*t just happens. My weight goes up and down and I do this crap for a living. No one is perfect.

A couple of weeks ago I was laid out with a nasty cold. We have previously established that being sick turns me into a miserable ass – so I am a joy to be around.
Looks about how I felt
One of the worst parts about being sick for me is the fact that the only time I feel un-craptastic is when I am eating. So I tend to over eat. Ah who am I kidding – there’s no tend about it – I overeat.

It happens to me every week. Without fail I get numerous emails and new clients who come to me and are utterly confused about their lack of progress.
They say essentially the same thing: “I walk on my treadmill every day for 45 minutes and yet I am not losing any weight.”
My answer is more or less always the same : “ That’s because walking is for suckers.”
Hey Doofus, here’s a newsflash: If you are doing it
while wearing a tie it is not exercise.

I am a big enough man (literally and figuratively) to say when I have been proven wrong.
As most of you know I am was not a huge fan of steady state cardio for fat loss. I had always preferred using shorter intense bouts of training.
Well in the April issue of the The Stanford Journal of Metabolism there was a massive study (almost 4000 participants) comparing the fat loss effects from both steady state cardio and resistance training.
Keep going….
