2008-02-09 02:32:00 I seem to have lost count on how many times I’ve read and heard of celebrity marriages failing almost left and right.

7 ways to Positive thinking
2008-02-07 20:05:00 I’m sure you have a bright idea hidden somewhere in the back of your mind that you just can’t wait to test out. Of course you’re not the only one with the bright idea. So what motivates you to churn those creative, or even inspiring juices to its utmost flavour?

Tom Venuto on Post Workout Drinks and Fat Loss
2008-02-04 22:53:00 QUESTION: Dear Tom: I came across a piece of muscle-building advice written on a white board at a Bally’s fitness club, posted outside the “advanced” personal training station. I took a picture and attached it to this email. As you can see, it said to ingest whey protein and 60-70 grams of *simple sugars* 30-45 minutes after your workout. Is there any truth at all to this advice? I take particular exception to point #1… I can’t believe eating 60-70 grams of simple sugar at any time can be good for you! If this is indeed bad advice, I will write Bally’s corporate and tell them to stop hurting the public with bad advice from their personal trainers. What do you think? thanks, Doug ANSWER: It does seem counter intuitive, but believe it or not, that is standard, and science-based advice for post workout nutrition.
