The ideal protein supplement should contain no added carbohydrates "check your supplement facts!" It should be a protein that digests and metabolizes quickly. Proteins that are absorbed slowly should be regarded as modified or processed food. The longer the protein resides in the GI track, the greater potential to induce side effects such as nausea, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue and possible...

Anybody who has been doing CrossFit for longer than a year can agree that the growth of the sport is staggering.

As CrossFit continues to wrestle through these growing pains, one thing is for sure: It is not going anywhere. Reebok’s huge investment has brought a lot of attention to...

Because we should all look to clean food as a means to get healthy and fit first, it would seem logical to eat lots of fish to get your daily and optimal amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. After all, fish are the best source of omega 3s. Unfortunately, life is not that simple; here is some food for thought: 1) Fish that we like to eat do not all have high concentrations of omega 3 oils....

By now most of us know that the “active “omega 3 fats are EPA and DHA.  By elimination, the other omega 3s such as ALA are much less active and require conversion to EPA in our bodies to be active.  Fish oils also contain other fats.  Good fish oil should contain as little omega 6 fats as possible. Companies that still advertise a “mixed” product...

Sugar and Carbohydrates are toxic and prevent fat metabolism, accelerate aging and chronic diseases.   Perhaps the most dangerous and toxic substance that we put in our bodies on a routine basis is sugar and high glycemic carbohydrates which convert rapidly to sugar when they are digested. The average American eats about 21 teaspoons of sugar a day or over 3X the amount recommended by...

Is milk or milk products “bad” for you? Whey protein is derived from milk. Does this mean that whey protein is bad for you? The short answer: not necessarily. It really depends on the source of the milk. In the U.S, it is estimated that 50% fewer cows produce twice as much milk today than 20 years ago. Two processes drive this production:  1. hormone...

Comparing krill oil and fish oil are like comparing apples and oranges. The benefit of krill oil MAY (clinical studies need verification) increase HDL cholesterol and this would have a benefit on the progression of atherosclerosis. On the other hand, krill oil is rich in phosphatitic acids and phosphoinositols, not EPA and DSHA. Granted krill does have some EPA and DHA but not enough to...
