Comments Off on How much energy could we save if no one was overweight?

Solar, electric cars, we’re waiting for these and others, these so called energy fixes, to get cheaper so we can all have them. There are two billion cars on the road in the world. 100 million cars are made each year. If every single car produced *today* was electric, it would take 20 years to refill the […]

New insights as to why you can’t avoid exercising

March 21, 2016

The study: –Constrained Total Energy Expenditure and Metabolic Adaptation to Physical Activity in Adult Humans Got some good publicity in January and February. For the wrong reasons. The Guardian titled their article on this paper as “Exercise alone won’t cause weight-loss, study shows.” The study does not show that. – What the study did This was […]

Changing our energy situation starts with changing our behavior

Comments Off on Changing our energy situation starts with changing our behavior

There are certain principles of physics the general public may not understand the nuances of, but we get the concept. Gravity being one. How all objects fall, why something moves down, not up, an incline. Force is another one. An object with more mass, or an object moving faster, has more force. We get that. There are […]

Comments Off on Why are we so confused about how and what to eat?

I wrote a post called A note to research nazis. In it I went over how even science has limitations on what it can accomplish. Such as what it’s able to research. I’m going to hit on that a bit again here, but what I’m also going to hit on, which I didn’t in the other post, is […]

August 12, 2015

This is a topic I’ve always felt was rudimentary, yet the opinions on it seem to move around. Another title for this article could be “Is exercise good for weight-loss?” I’ve trained a good amount of people who have said, “I’ve been working out for six months now, but haven’t lost a pound.” “I’ve been […]

Using the concept of antifragility with your exercise routine and health

August 29, 2013

I just got done reading the majority of the book Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder. I say the majority because while this book has some cool insights, it’s 433 pages, and probably could have been 100. This is not an easy read. The author, Nicholas Taleb, is a mathematician / statistician / whatever you want […]

What being a hardgainer can teach you about losing weight

March 28, 2013

I recently made a new lady friend and we were talking about our college athletics experience. (We’re going to gloss over the fact she played softball at Oklahoma and may have taken a trip to the college world series, as it makes me feel inferior / turns me on.) One thing we talked about is […]

What’s up with diet drinks and appetite?

Comments Off on What’s up with diet drinks and appetite?

This is part of a series. Part 1 here, you’re reading part 2, part 3 here, and the series in its entirety is here. Diet drinks get chastised all over the place. I’m going to go over some of the more prevalent reasons, at least from what I’ve seen. One of the main arguments against diet drinks is they increase appetite. The […]
