All this talk of sleep had me thinking back to the early days of this blog and my experiment with polyphasic sleeping. Looking back, I feel that it simply wasn’t conducive to a highly active lifestyle or even simply 3x week strength training. It seemed more well suited to a sedentary lifestyle. There must be [...]
Given that I have a diet which consists primarily of meats, fresh fruits and vegetables that often breaks that 4,000 Calorie mark daily, I am often asked how I can afford to eat so much. I must either be rich, or so dedicated that I’m willing to sacrifice a large percentage of my budget towards [...]
Intermittent fasting is by far my favorite way to keep myself lean, while still gaining mass and endurance all the while eating anything wholesome I want. There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there right now regarding I.F. and in this article I hope to dispell some of those myths and guide you [...]
I always see lots of references to running around the ‘net, but never any references on how to run! Running is simple, yet it is certainly possible to do it badly if you’re either not used to it or just impatient in your learning and adapting (as with any sport of course)…
I know a lot [...]
Ketogenic Diets, Protein Sparing Modified Fasting & Low Carbs - oh my!
Well folks, I usually abhor dieting as a fad and can honestly say that 98% of the crap I’ve read in books, magazines and websites has not only been crap but is likely to do you way more harm than good. I’m not denying [...]
So I have no idea what’s “wrong” with me, and neither did the doctor so he just did the standard panacea of antibiotics. It’s a good feel better drug for most, even when it doesn’t actually do anything but screw up your intestinal flora because you have a cold virus or something. Gotta love doctors.
So [...]
I found an incredibly entertaining read on sleep today by A. Roger Ekirch and thought I’d share it with you all.
During the first days of autumn in 1878, Robert Louis Stevenson, at age twenty-seven, spent twelve days trudging through the Cévennes, France’s southern highlands, despite having suffered from frail health during much of his youth. [...]
A few updates:
First of all, everything’s going great and I’m adapting really well. I feel more alive and alert all day, and am getting more stuff done than usual and it’s not just because of the extra waking time. I’m going to begin phasing out the alarm clock permanently soon, and will do a ‘test [...]
Well, I’ve started my experiment in biphasic sleeping and even though it’s been two days I’ve had just as much energy and what not as usual. I thought the intial week would be hell, but it’s proving to be just mildly annoying. I say this because I still haven’t “reprogrammed” myself fully yet and so [...]
Well, I am surely pleased with my current diet and especially with my exercise. The pic below is a progress pic from September 9th to November 9th. I started doing my current exercise routine in late August, so it’s a pretty good ‘before/after’ comparison. I may still be ’skinny lookin’ to some of you, but [...]
