If you’re one of the folks that has been hanging out on this site because you’ve been taking Irvingia, I’ve set up a survey – two, actually – one for guys and one for gals. If you’ve taken Irvingia for at least 8 weeks, I invite you to take the survey.
Check out the links at [...]

I woke up late and didn’t have a chance to write. Luckily, reader Bonnie just happened to send along some recipes and they all sound great, so instead of my useless posts, here’s some yummy-sounding low carb recipes to try for the game this weekend – thanks, Bonnie.

Morning Weight 214.4
Total Body Fat: 30%
Total Body Water: 48.5%
It’s snowing here, but not so much that I couldn’t get to the gym, and on the treadmill.
I did 20 minutes – 10 minutes at a zero degree incline, then I gradually upped it to 2.5 degree during the second half – I want to begin to [...]

Got up before 4am – had my 1 scoop of Nitrean protein powder and was at the gym about 4:10.
Did 20 minutes on the treadmill at 4.0 mph – max heart rate 129.
Part of me kept longing for the weight-training…that’s something I thought I’d never see myself write.
Did 3 circuits:
leg press: 150 lbs. 20 reps [...]

Another Another Start
Yep…here we are again. Back from a great vacation that, unfortunately included a lot of good, carb-laden food.
French cuisine cannot be surpassed in it’s ability to turn out a heavenly croissant, a lobster bisque with a hint of tarragon, topped with baked filo dough, or a simple baguette that convinces me that Americans [...]

Vacation
I arrived home from my vacation around 9pm last night, and am still unpacking – physically and mentally. I’ve recently been wondering if we sometimes disappear into our habits.
In other words: if we were to change our habits completely, would many of us just disappear?
Are we just the sum of out habits?
I say this because [...]

I’m officially on vacation. A real vacation. Leavin’ on a jet plane and going to an island.
I’m trying to ‘do without’ and unplug to the fullest extent that I can – not even taking my iPod (gasp!).
As some I knew once said: “I’m going off the grid.”
It’s a time for my wife and my daughters, [...]

It’s easy to start most things: writing the Great American Novel, learning French, playing the piano.
Finishing all of the above is a cinch too.
It’s all the damn days in between – actually doing it, day in and day out – that are the killer.
On December 15th, I decided to start exercising for the first time [...]

As I mentioned I have been reading the TNT diet book again and one thing I had not seen before was a mention of a type of cheese from Cyprus called halloumi that didn’t melt when you heated it – it browned. Their suggestion was that the stuff could substitute for bread or act as [...]

Here is the letter sent by the Life Extension Foundation to people who purchased their Irvingia, known as Integra-Lean:
Integra-Lean Letter from LEF.pdf
I do recommend that if you didn’t get the letter that you read the entire thing, but here’s a really short summary of what I took away from it after a quick read:
