I’ve noticed a lot of information popping up about saturated fat, including its role in modulating Testosterone levels in men. Of course, the minute you say that saturated fats may increase testosterone most people say ‘and give you a heart attack’.Saturated fat can quickly divide people into being either pro (sat fat is super awesome) or con (sat fat will kill you).One thing I feel is really important to point out is that there is no such thing as ‘saturated fat’. There are saturated fats – more than two dozen different types of saturated fats exist, and while not ALL of them are present in high qualities in the typical average persons diet, the fact remains – they are all different.And while I don’t want to dive into the fat and testosterone research yet (I’m still working on it) I do want to make sure that people understand that there is no such thing as ‘saturated fat’I’ve asked Kurtis Frank and Dr.

Adopting a philosophy of self-experimentation can make a tremendous difference in your life. Choosing to experiment with new ideas can help you start a successful business. Choosing to experiment with sharing your work can launch your career as a writer or an artist. And choosing to experiment with different diets and workouts can help you discover a fitness and health strategy that works for you.Image remixed from Skylines (Shutterstock).This post originally appeared on James Clear’s blog.Of course, self-experimentation is exactly the opposite of how most of us want to approach things. We would prefer that someone hand us a one-page sheet with the answers to our problems and say “Do this and you’ll be good to go.” Furthermore, if someone shares an idea that seems outlandish or weird, most of us would rather dismiss it than experiment for six months to see if it can actually work for us.Just to be clear, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and have dismissed ideas without trying them in the past.

Building muscle can be a hard thing to do. Often, you will take on an intense and rigorous schedule for working out, along with a healthy diet. If the results you want to see are not forthcoming, it is all too easy to get discouraged.

Paleo Permaculture 5 Comments Wednesday, October 9th, 2013 Guest post written by: Conor O’HigginsTurning vegetarian is the best thing you can do for the environment.” Heard that one before? I used to believe it too. That was when I was living in a city and had never grown a scrap of food in my life. Since then, I’ve traveled the world, planted trees, started community gardens, and farmed fish. I learned something I’d like to share: it’s a myth that a vegetarian diet is more sustainable than an omnivorous one.

Editors Note: For those of you who follow my blog you know that I have written extensively about intermittent fasting. I have written about both the science and the practical experience I have had with IF. So when one of my friends, Emery Max, posted on his Facebook page, the dramatic changes he made to his health and physique, I wanted him to share his experience. One reason is because Emery followed the good old-fashioned bodybuilding diet that didn’t seem to work anymore (think insulin), and because he is also a very educated person as you will soon find out.

Often, I get questions from readers on what my workouts look like post baby. Those of you with little ones know you have to maximize your free time, because there isn’t much of it!Accordingly, my workouts are usually around 20 minutes, but that doesn’t mean they are easy.I mentioned I started training at the YMCA and love it! The atmosphere is family oriented and high energy–the members truly use their membership at this branch. Another bonus, child care for members and employees. There is a time limit, but I wouldn’t be able to be a personal trainer without this!Although, Cooper would be a fine sitter.But, his rates are too high.Back to using my 20 minutes effectively

My diet is rich is greens-fresh, raw, organic, sautéed, roasted-and lean, mostly organic protein sources.

When you build a circuit training routine, don’t forget: There are lot’s of metabolically demanding kettle- bell exercises to spice things up. There are probably a dozen of reasons why people train. Many of them are really good: Wanting to stay healthy, to live longer, or to excel in your sports. Of others, however, I am not so sure whether they are actually worth pursuing, or do you think training to look like a walking stick to make it to the catwalk was a “good” motivation to go to the gym? Personally I don’t think so and that’s partly why I am hesitant to judge a workout by the amount of energy it may burn.

I’ve been hanging out w/ some people, affiliated with “Beachbody” (P90X, Shakeology, I’m not selling it. Aside from the $$ aspect of it–Shakeology isn’t cheap– it seems to offer a usefully supportive community similar for that sort of thing, except there, the answer to many questions is “Shakeology” instead of “pump/ CGM” LOL…) who work out a lot with both general health and weight loss involved, although some of them are into lifting and getting more muscle, which is a separate challenge.After 5 weeks, I’ve noticed that when I don’t eat 1800 calories/ day for a day or two, I’ll stop losing weight so I think that’s the minimum number of calories. The people who are really into it and have gotten excellent results pay attention to macros, or macronutrients, adjusting the %age of carb/ protein/ fat depending on what their goal is.
