Dear Jonny, Dieting Question…
| May 31, 2011 | Posted by Jon under Dear Jonny, Exercise/Nutrition |
Dear Jonny, I’ve got a dieting question. In the morning I usually consume oatmeal with almonds, maybe a banana and an apple. Then, mid morning, I usually eat some protein, low fat chicken most often. That will usually sustain me until dinner, which varies, but is usually healthy, and if… more
Dear Jonny, Eating As A Coping Behavior?
| May 2, 2011 | Posted by Jon under Dear Jonny, Exercise/Nutrition |
Dear Jonny, I have a girlfriend who beelines for McDonald’s and their 20 pack of chicken nuggets every time she finds out I’ve gone to the strip club. She is closer to fat than skinny and I know that crap can’t be good for her either way. Is this unusual… more

| February 10, 2011 | Posted by Jon under Dear Jonny, Exercise/Nutrition |
Dear Jonny, I’m trying really hard to lose weight. I’ve been good about following a gym routine, but I don’t know much about diet. Portion control isn’t the problem. I just don’t really know what I need to to be eating for optimum weight loss and health (I eat out… more

Dear Jonny, My friend is a 26 year old amateur bodybuilder who is bulking up for the winter. He says that a calorie is a calorie if you’re trying to gain weight, so there’s no reason to pay extra for expensive food. He takes a lot of vitamin and mineral… more

Dear Jonny, I’m trying to lose as much weight as possible before my 10 year high school reunion (It’s in 5 months). Thing is, I’m not really willing to give up my candy bars, which are sort of the culprit to begin with. But I figure I can pretty much… more

Dear Jonny, If you wanted to get as fat, bloated and unhealthy as possible, as quickly as possible, what would you eat? – Alex Dear Alex, What a great question. Well, I’d make a point to ensure that every one of my meals was a combination of high-glycemic carbohydrates (starches/sugars),… more

| December 19, 2010 | Posted by Jon under Exercise/Nutrition |
i So I thought I’d do a little review of a pre-workout supplement that impressed me far beyond my expectations. Let me start by saying that in terms of these sorts of products, I’ve tried EVERYTHING at least once, usually at double or triple the suggested dosage (something I do… more
Gym Jerks: People I Hate
| November 30, 2010 | Posted by Jon under Exercise/Nutrition |
I’m lucky enough to have access to a gym that is stocked with everything I need, nothing I don’t, few people, and fewer egos. But recently I revisited a local “hardcore” facility for a few days, and in doing so I was quickly reminded of why, over the years, I’ve… more

Darwinian Cheeseburger
| November 7, 2010 | Posted by Jon under Exercise/Nutrition |
Primitive man expended enormous amounts of energy scouring the wild for food that was calorically sufficient to sustain the lives of he and his cave-dwelling family. Maybe he was able to hunt/gather what they required for day-to-day survival. Maybe not. Either way, he was - in all probability – burning more calories than he was taking… more
In Pursuit Of Food
A lean, strong, hungry hunter-gatherer tracks his wounded prey through thick jungle foliage. He’s hot, tired, and dehydrated. Deep, dirt-filled creases line his weary, sun-baked face. He relieves his parched throat with a sip of stagnant rainwater from a small pool at his feet. In a moment, a thickly-muscled, yellow-eyed… more
