Two companies sent me their liquid L-carnitine at basically the same time, and instead of writing two separate reviews I figured I would do the thing I actually wanted to do: put them head to head. The Nutrex Research Carniburn and the iSatori L-Carnitine LS3 both say “L-carnitine” on the label, but they are not…
I started the carnivore diet on January 1st and stuck with it for three months. On March 28th I stepped on the scale at 241.8, down from 270 after the holidays. That’s the headline, but the scale is the least interesting part of this — so here’s the full recap, including the stuff that doesn’t…
When I got serious about losing weight, I did not need a hundred recipes. I needed one. One meal I could make without thinking, that took almost no time, and that I would not get sick of after two weeks. Everything else was noise. What I landed on was something I have been calling the…
Ice cream is the dessert that ends more diets than any other, and I do not think that is close. It is not that a bowl of ice cream is catastrophic. It is that ice cream is the food people eat at the exact moment their willpower is lowest, in the largest container available, straight…
I love to snack. That is not a confession so much as a permanent character trait. And the worst version of it happens at night, when dinner is long gone and I find myself meandering through the kitchen opening the same three cabinets over and over, looking for something to put in my mouth. Nothing…
Two months of carnivore, one scale, and the actual numbers. I just wrapped month two of this experiment, so here is the honest update: what the scale says, exactly what I have been eating every single day, the digestion situation you all keep asking about, and how my energy and training have held up. Short…
Creatine is supposed to be the boring supplement. Five grams, white powder, no flavor, no marketing. So when Clean Nutraceuticals sent me their Creatine Complex — the one they call Muscle Surge — my first reaction was skepticism. This is not a plain tub of monohydrate. You still get your 5,000 mg of creatine per…
About nine months ago I put out a video explaining how I was using my Apple Watch, my iPhone, and the Activity tracker app to chase my fitness goals. Plenty of people asked the obvious follow-up question: okay, but did it actually work? Fair question. So this is the update — where the numbers landed,…
There is a fantastic app sitting on your iPhone right now that hardly anybody actually uses. On older versions of iOS it was called Activity. Apple has since folded it into the Fitness app, but it is the same thing under the hood — and when you pair it with an Apple Watch, it turns…
I just finished my first 30 days — technically 31 days — of the carnivore diet. How much weight did I lose? How did I feel? Could I, you know… poop? I’m going to cover all of it here, because if you’re thinking about trying carnivore yourself, you deserve to know what you might actually…
