Many of you will experience an affinity to this client I saw recently; when he was 20 he was lean, playing some sport, and eating whatever he wanted, without gaining weight. 20 years later he is sitting in front of me and has gained 20 kilos over those last 20 years. Nothing is different, he [...]

You think ONE can of soft drink is safe?...

No one seems to doubt the statement that drinking 2-3 litres of coke everyday might not be the best way to achieve longevity or be lean.

Coffee, The Black Gold: Healthy or Unhea...

This is a common question. Can I drink coffee, how much, isn’t coffee linked to cancers, hypertension? After considerable research around the topic some surprising conclusions were revealed.

Meal Frequency & Fat Loss. New Rese...

Following up on the other article about snacks, I did some further investigation into what is known as intermittent fasting (IF). In the bodybuilding community it is a known approach to increase fat loss, but is there any scientifically reasoning? I hear this statement frequently; “You need to eat 6 meals a day to keep [...]
