Perky Jerky
Do you hate drinking coffee because it turns your digestive system into a faucet? Don’t like the taste of Red Bull, or the idea of drinking and entire pound of sugar in one sitting? 5 Hour Energy not really doing the trick for you? Well I know what you need, BEEF JERKY! Yes, you heard me correctly....

How to Stop Drinking Beer

How to Stop Drinking Beer
Get yourself one of these plush bathmats with a built-in scale, and it will make you count every calorie you consume.  It also stores previous data, so you know exactly what you need to either keep or stop doing diet and alcohol consumption-wise.  No info on purchasing this little bathroom version...

Dear Kashi,

Dear Kashi,
Your constant advertising, and presence in my local organic grocery store has been effective at making me feel like I should choose your cereal over the usual suspects like Crispix or Honey Nut Cheerios. “Strawberry Fields,” I thought, “that could be healthy yet delicious choice for...

“Breathe Again, Brrreathe Agaaain”

“Breathe Again, Brrreathe Agaaain”
That was a Toni Braxton reference by the way. But the real question is: how serious are you about exercise? Would you say you are serious enough to pay $2681 to purchase a backpack that provides you more air while you run, bike, or whatever it is you do? This backpacky sort of thing known as the...

Let’s talk about death, ba-by.

Let’s talk about death, ba-by.
Below is a chart of the leading causes of death by county and disease between 2001-2005. I’m not sure why I thought this was cool, but it’s interesting none the less. To see more go here. I’m not sure if it’s fitting to now say “enjoy,” so I’ll just say “don’t...

Embrace your gut!

Embrace your gut!
Recently I’ve been on a gym kick like everyone else does after New Years, but a good friend of mine has sent me a website that may make me reconsider. This is why you’re fat is basically a site for people who love to eat crap and take pictures of it. You can go to the site and submit pictures...

The…Drive-Thru diet?

The…Drive-Thru diet?
Yes, this is totally serious. Bowel burning, faux-Mexican, bad cholesterol inducing Taco Bell is actually attempting to market themselves as having a healthy option, except their “Jarred” is named “Christine.” They have 7 lower calorie options, and by reducing her caloric...

Wanna live till 100?

Wanna live till 100?
I cohort of mine sent me this article about 24 hours after stuffing my face with wonderful Latin cuisine, and drinking almost an entire bottle of coquito. As one of the witnesses/enabler of my binge, he probably knew that what was swirling around in my head after the initial “ahh man I hate myself...

How to get your friends to stop smoking

How to get your friends to stop smoking
See the trick here is that you can’t just buy this and give it to them because they will just laugh it off and never use it. What you have to do is wait for them to come to your house and say “oh wait, let me get an ashtray,” and then nonchalantly pull this one out. The skull and...

Healthy for 4 days

Healthy for 4 days
Every year for Thanksgiving, I take a trip to Northern California, where most of my family has migrated. Though the real purpose of the trip is for all of us to hang out, which is an unfortunate rarity in our adult lives, the majority of our activities are scheduled around meals. Basically what this...

Hey fat boy…

Hey fat boy…
You ever wonder how many calories you are actually burning when you’re doing activities like playing basketball, chopping wood, or….having…foreplay?? Yes, there is a “calories burned” calculator online that can calculate your calories burned based on your weight and the...

I um……

I um……
I….I don’t quite know what to say about this video, I mean….. I just don’t know if it’s funny because the creators legitimately didn’t realize what this looks like, or maybe they did know and they’re trying to pull one off on everyone…..or if I’m...

I bet you can’t do 100 push-ups?

I bet you can’t do 100 push-ups?
One of my friends sent me this site, and I’m not sure if it was an affirmation for his dedication to his fitness journey, or a hint for me? Either way, I can’t exactly figure out if there’s an actual benefit to being able to do 100 push-ups, other than the fact that you’ll have...
