Are Your Plastics Making You Fat?

In the quest to be healthy, you don't have to look far to be challenged. Your government and society has placed land mines in front of you to ensure that being healthy and fit is a continuous and deadly cat and mouse game where win or lose, you pay either way.

Freakin plastics are poisonous and everywhere you look, we use these poison carriers for damn near everything we do. Food and drinks especially - cool, they put the poison in the stuff you stick in your mouth. Even the plastic linings / lids on canned foods and drinks with metal, aluminum or glass containers - you are still hosed.

So bottom line, start cutting back / out number 3,6,7 plastics immediately. Second if you use that stuff keep it away from high heat ,including sunlight, that causes the quicker leeching of the poisons into the contents.

"There is clear, credible evidence in the growing number of scientific studies that link bisphenol A to the very health effects we see on the rise today," according to Christopher Gavigan, executive director of Healthy Child, Healthy World.

What do these plastic poisons do to you? The toxins including Bisphenol A are linked to man boobs, low sperm counts, obesity, estrogen related disorders and neural and behavioral problems in children to name a few.

Number 3 Plastics found in: Cooking oil bottles, clear food packaging may release toxic breakdown products (including pthalates) into food and drinks.

Number 6 plastics are your Styrofoam type products. Plates, cups, egg cartons, carry out trays etc.. and can release potentially toxic breakdown products (including styrene).

Number 7 Plastics Found in: Baby bottles, three- and five-gallon water bottles, certain food containers. The ones to worry about are the hard polycarbonate varieties, as found in various drinking containers (like Nalgene bottles - dammit I love those bottles) and rigid plastic baby bottles. Studies have shown polycarbonate can leach bisphenol A, a potential hormone disruptor, into liquids. No level of bisphenol A exposure is known to be truly safe, and in August a government panel expressed 'some concern' that the ingredient causes neural and behavioral problems in children.

Play it safe and swap out those hard plastic baby and water bottles for number 1, 5 or corn-based plastics, aluminum, or even shatter-resistant glass?

Are You Eating Wood?



You know it never ceases to amaze me at what lengths the evil vermin of the earth will go to, in order to make money. So in addition to all of the genetically modified, artificial, unhealthy and downright poisonous stuff that people eat ,called processed foods, now they have added wood to the mix. Yes wood! It comes in different shapes and sizes and it's called many names but when you cut through the BS it is freakin wood! The cellulose used in many foods is processed powder or pulp from virgin wood.

Fortunately this wood that you are eating in damn near every processed food is not toxic( for a change ) so the one useless thing in your meal won't kill you. The big companies are saving over 30% by dumping sawdust in your chow ( not literally ). And it adds to the shelf life - ever put a pine board on the shelf and see how long it takes for it to go bad??

In some cases they have used the wood cellulose in place of the bleached white flour and trans fats for emulsifiers and it actually makes the food less toxic but still useless. So you either have poison or wood in your food .  How cool is that?? I recommend getting some fresh stuff that resembles organic real food and shy away from the cartons and packages of rat poison and sawdust.  Eat well!!

Do You Like Working Out Hard? Intensity Revisited

People perceive things in very different ways. In the fitness world, people have different views of what a hard workout is. One of the very first things that I do with new bootcampers and clients is to teach them what intensity is all about so that there is no confusion between what they thought and reality. So I have them do a Tabata Drill. It breaks them off and puts them down on a knee. The weak minded fold and crumple and are never seen again. Then the ones who come back know what they are getting themselves into and there is no mercy from then on. Some say that practice is not good for business but I will not be weak or support weakness. Pink dumbbells and jogging on the treadmill for 8 hours are not intensity. Spin class at full bore is only cardio. Bodypump at full bore is still mostly aerobic because of the light weights and high reps. You cannot experience reality until you do the heavy stuff first and then move at high speed. When you cross realms between the aerobic and anaerobic zones and operate beyond in the red zone where strength, power, endurance, speed, flexibility, core and an iron will are all tested at the same time. That is where progress lies, it is where champions are made, where warriors are forged, and where bikini hardbodies are created. Stop cheating yourself. Pick up heavy weights, run faster and eat more good stuff often and you will be a ninja.

Meal Of The Week: Salad and Hardboiled Eggs

This meal of the week consists of salad and hard boiled eggs with almond slices, baby tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, olives and feta cheese. Quick and easy with all three macronutrients. Throw it together and eat it cold or if you are lazy like me or pressed for time, you can find ready made salads in good grocery stores. I actually got this one at Fresh Market and added the eggs and sliced almonds. I used a little blue cheese for extra flavor.
