Muscle shakes to build bulk? I often get frustrated when I see muscle building shakes or drinks advertised as a quick fix way to build muscle and strength. Therefore, I decided to write this small post in the hope it may shed some truth to anyone who is interested in the subject of gaining muscle
These days with more diets and eating trends than search results when the words “shape shake” are entered into Google, eating correctly and understanding what's ok or not ok to eat is becoming more and more confusing. Try to say “shape shake” quickly 10 times in a row… Lately, I've been seeing and hearing a
Have you ever wondered what is really in a glass of fruit or vegetable juice? I have too. On the rare occasion when I do buy fruit or vegetable juice (because I prefer my own home-grown stuff), I often think about things like: how much is the juice watered down deliberately by the manufacturer;
Introduction Honestly, I'd be lost without my Excalibur dehydrator because we use it all the time in our household. The money our dehydrator has saved us alone has well and truly paid for the initial purchase of the appliance and I could have used “money” as one of the 10 reasons below on its own;
For several years now (perhaps even the last decade) alarm bells have been ringing about the rise of obesity. I find it odd how the mainstream news, current affairs, and media in general regurgitate the same dire warnings about how the “world is getting fatter” like it’s the first time this phenomenon has ever been
Before I get to my awesome mother in-law's gluten free lime pie recipe, I want to briefly explain what all this “gluten free” food fuss is all about. Celiac disease is a common autoimmune disorder affecting people of all ages. Due to an intolerance to gluten, which is found in grains like wheat, barley, rye,
With all the wonder foods and so-called weight loss remedies pushed onto us all daily, I never recall ever hearing about eating quail as a healthy meat alternative or to help lose weight. That’s such a pity because quail is one of the world’s wonder foods and more people should know about it. Of course,
Our body was not designed to be sedentary, in fact, it was designed or evolved to be very active. Understanding this extremely important point is usually the difference between a healthy person and one who, through fault of their own, is unhealthy. Those who understand the true meaning of “feeding the body exercise” are often
This short article is about how you can easily lose a few of those extra pounds without making any large changes to your diet or going hungry. I first started to use the tinned protein substitution method of weight loss or weight control in my 20’s when I was at the peak of my fitness
Traditional food is the new buzz word and healthy eating craze sweeping the world – well, the Western world anyway. Some people and certain entrepreneurs are pushing eating traditional like it’s some revelation when in fact it’s simply the food our grandparents mostly grew up eating. Coeliac disease, irritable bowel, allergies, obesity, diabetes, heart
Oh brother, am I the only one who is getting fed up hearing the same lard dribble out of media networks around Australia and the world trying to shock us with yet another (but the same) we’re getting fatter story? Today, all media networks were on the same message about a study showing how 25%
Eating weeds might be the trendy thing to do and talk about at the moment amongst frugal living, self-sufficiency, survivalists, preppers, hippies, raw foodies, and organic gardeners but I really question the effort in opening the subject up to the wider community. With obesity becoming the number 1 threat to world health and dietary related
Unfortunately it has taken frozen berries contaminated with human faeces containing hepatitis A and a national public food health disaster in Australia to shine the spotlight on dodgy food safety practices! This disgraceful act of poor product hygiene and quality control by authorities should alarm and be a warning to all countries around the world.
