by Chris Lopez December 5, 2011

I have some affinity to the number 23.  Maybe it’s because I was a huge Michael Jordan fan growing up. So when I write lists like the one below or the 23 Random Things About Me post, that’s the defence I use.  It could be that my simple mind can only think of 23 things. [...]

Over the past few days, I’ve gotten quite a few questions on My Facebook Page about what I eat and the “diet” that I follow. I always boast to friends that I can eat whatever I want  whenever I want. The only issue with that statement is that “whatever” I want to eat isn’t necessarily [...]

I’ve been battling the stomach flu since I contracted it from my son on Saturday night at AJ’s Ontario Volleyball Championships Tournament.  As a result, the 4 week program that I wanted to start on Monday had to be delayed until my diet consisted of more than Pepto Bismol, Gravol and water.

Perfect Post-Workout Nutrition

by Chris Lopez January 22, 2010

I hate protein shakes. When I was young and was caught up in the whole “supplement thing”, thinking that if I didn’t consume 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight that I was going to shrivel up and turn into a skinny, non-muscular piece of nothing, I drank protein shakes until the cows came home.
