Marc, have you experienced any fatigue issues with the constant intensity you apply? I know for myself that if I don't have a mix of hard and easier days I tend to burn out if it's all just hard days and eventually need to rest a few days to recover. This was especially evident when doing powerlifti...

If you wake up naturally during the night (and it's not just a toilet break) then perhaps staying up for a few hours and doing something is worth trying. Pre-industrial era people slept in 2 sections during the night and often did a few hours' chores, knitting, whatever at the middle of the night. T...

I will be glad when this month is over because it'll be my last 'tough' month, really ... I am almost reaching my final objective now and in the next 3 months I will only have to lose 3-4 pounds per month on average. That will be easier than the 6-7-8 pounds pace I was keeping in april-may-june-jul...

Re: sweet tooth
I am having a very hard time restricting my sweet tooth. I was thinking, can someone start slow with that one? like for me, to go down to 1 sweet 1 a day, and then 1 every other day, so I don't break it? In short, yes it could work very well. I weened myself off a medication in a similar way since ...

Afternoons work for me also. I find I am at my best physically between 3:30pm and 5:30pm. Science seems to back this up also and has shown strength peaks about 4pm give or take 30mins. Of course, like I said before, it doesn't really matter when. I know a lot of people train well first thing in the ...

26/7/2009 Sunday: Shovelglove EXEMPT Evening Luddite FAILURE - Stage 1 (TV and the internet off at midnight). No excuse, I sat up watching Ocean's Eleven and then the end of Sink the Bismarck! I have a bit on my mind regarding careers and purpose so I think that is driving this failure. I have to so...

Re: 21 days and it is a new habit?
If 21 one days really worked then alcoholics and drug addicts would have very little problem. Breaking an addiction is not the same as simply forming a new habit and it is important for people to make the distinction. Addictions often need to be fought for years on and off and some of them never qu...

I've come to the conclusion that defining diets as high carb and low carb is a false representation of the facts. The real fact of the matter is that we (as a western society) are consuming way too many breads, pastas, potatoes and other starch based products which are also often laden with preserva...
