As an endurance cyclist, I’ve eaten a lot of energy bars and drinks and gels. Most of them are passable at best, which is why I’d also seek out PayDays and Bit-O-Honeys instead. With the benefit of hindsight, perhaps those weren’t the best choices. The other day, I had my first Perfect Foods Bar. It [...]

A friend and colleague of mine brought to my attention today in an email the health benefits and the nutritional value of beans…the food (which really is a fruit) that arguably gives you best bang for your buck in terms of nutrients per cost. Here are some of the reasons why you should include beans [...]

The information was in response to many questions not only about artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes, but also to provide an alternative to sugar and all of its nasty effects on your fitness and fat loss goals.
