This is the best secret motivation I've ever heard! :D I'm 100% for aiming to be more lethal rather than just aiming for some arbitrary pants size. Rock on!

True story: When I was very little, mom and I were sitting behind an obese woman in a red dress at church. I turned to mom and whispered as loudly as possible, "MOMMY, THAT'S A BIIIIIIIG RED DRESS!!!" Mom has never let me forget this story.

Fructose is fine when it comes with the whole…

I would love some Primal/Paleo friends here! I've been at it for about a year and it's changed my life. Currently I'm working on fine tuning it with intermittent fasting and experimenting with macro ratios. It would be awesome to have some food log accountability with people who know that a granola bar and a bran muffin do…

I get the plain yogurt and add banana flavoring and stevia. With a few walnuts and some dark chocolate chunks, it's even better than Ben & Jerry's chunky monkey! I assume it would work with other food flavorings. Stevia adds no carbs, and isn't a sugar alcohol.
