Whether you’re doing keto, low fat, or just trying to eat sensibly, most people rely on diet sodas, sugar-free energy drinks, various desserts and/or meal replacement bars. Many of theese products avoid using sugar, while still delivering on great taste. There’s three major non-nutritive sugar alternatives, but there’s actually eight to choose from. There’s also sugar alcohols, which we may discuss in a future article.

Never in my life have I seen athletes behave like a bunch of crybabies when the media critiques their performance. And it seems these days that Nick’s Strength and Power is taking the brunt of it. I wouldn’t say I’m friends with Nick in any sense of the word, I’ve messaged with him a few times, but that’s the extent of our “friendship.” If you were to mention my name to him, he’d probably have no idea who I was.

Over the course of the last month, I’ve been receiving messages on Facebook, DM’s on IG, and even comments on YouTube, all asking me the same question. The viewers want to know what my thoughts are on 7x Mr. Olympia Phil “The Gift” Heath getting smaller. Just a couple days ago NS&P released a video on Phil downsizing and countless other networks have given this story varying degrees of coverage.

With all the deaths in bodybuilding as of late, it seems like bad news just keeps on coming. From John Meadows to Phil Hernon to John Meadows then George “Da Bull” Peterson and Shawn “Flexatron” Rhoden, just to name a few, the fitness community has been rocked by deaths throughout 2021. We’ve also lost a large number of women, from multiple divisions, which only makes matters worse. The industry has never had a year like 2021 and it just seems like it’s been nonstop bad news.

There are many different types of things that you may find online for weight loss – pills, powders, detoxes, nutrition bars, premade beverages, the list goes on and on.

A common question I usually get (and you may be thinking as well) is, “How do you wake up every morning and sit in front of a screen and type all day long?” I get it. There’s nothing glamorous about being a supplement writer and banging away at a keyboard all day long, but as weird as it is, that’s precisely what gets me excited and out of bed.

I want to first preface this by saying that counting calories DOES work for a small percentage of people. Now that I got that out of the way, I’m going to tell you that counting calories doesn’t work for weight loss, and I’m going to explain to you why in this article (confused yet?).

By this point, everyone has seen the Shawn Ray interview at RXMuscle. Dave owns and runs the site. There are folks who have an ownership stake, like John Romano and others, but Palumbo is the shot caller. He decides who’s interviewed, what’s edited, and what’s published. The interview consisted of both men speculating over the death of Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden, just two days after his passing.

For those of you out there who are just starting out in your health and fitness journey, you may find yourself hating the mirror and hating clothes. It’s common, and you’re not alone. The one thing that most people seem to forget about is that everyone starts somewhere. We all come in various shapes and sizes, skin color, and gender. Yet, there’s one thing that you have when you start your health and fitness journey — a community of support.

For some reason, people make weight loss way more difficult than it needs to be. They also seem to make it some impossible feat that only people with cheat codes like back in your video game playing days had to make it to the final level. Truth be told, a weight loss plan is very simple to follow, assuming you have some ground rules laid out ahead of time and know how to “play the game” effectively.
