I found a story on 180 Degree Health written by a woman who became bulimic in her teens due to being told by a doctor that her BMI was high. My hope is that less and less doctors are using the outdated BMI chart. When I was 13 years old, I was told my BMI was high. My guess is that I was sub 8% body fat and simply had a decent degree of leg muscle mass for my height.

On a side note, have you seen Fiona Apple lately. She looks so much better at a healthy body fat level. I don’t post enough about eating disorders, but many of the mainstream women in Hollywood are beginning to get scary skinny!

Final Phase Fat Loss Review – Is John Romaniello's Program Good …

Elliott Hulse explains in this video that posture can be effected by your emotional state. All the stretches and exercises in the world won’t fix this. Here’s the video.

This video is a little long, but seriously worth the time invested. I have a few areas I need to work on, like breathing deeper and assuming a confident posture as much as possible.

I don’t follow a primal or paleo diet full-time, but I’m a big fan of Mark Sisson. I got his last cookbook, The Primal Blueprint Cookbook, and use 3 of those recipes on a regular basis. My favorite recipe from that book is the “Transylvanian Stockpot” stew. Today he just released his newest cookbook, Primal Blueprint Healthy Sauces, Dressings and Toppings. Here’s the trailer for the book.

I was sent a pair of Fat Gripz for free a few years ago when they were first released. The funny thing is that I haven’t used them until this past month. I highly recommend these if you have stubborn forearms.

What I’ve found is that tall guys with large hands barely get any forearm growth from lifting weights because your grip doesn’t get challenged. This product will change all of that…and you will finally get to squeeze the bar when lifting (something you can’t do to a normal Olympic bar if you have large hands).
