Thanks for visiting!There are many misconceptions when it comes to diet and exercise, and lots of gimmicks designed to make money from an overweight and desperate American public. You won’t find a single gimmick here, no promises of incredible results in only 28 days. The human body is just... [Read more]

As part of my apparently continuing series Help, I’m skinny and I can’t Bulk Up comes the supplement list every thin man needs in his quest for adding quality muscle to his frame. It’s important to understand supplements are not magic pills and powders. You need to be consistently performing the workout and following the Hard Gainers Diet Plan to get results. The supplements will help, but will... [Read more]

This is the compliment to the Help, I’m Skinny and I can’t Bulk Up workout plan I wrote last week. Men who claim to be unable to gain weight and add some muscular mass to their frames have one common dietary thread, they don’t eat enough. From my experience, they don’t eat enough overall, but also not anywhere near enough protein. Protein provides the building blocks of life, amino acids. In... [Read more]

While being thin may not sound like a problem, for many guys it is. I’ve known many men who claim to be unable to gain weight, incapable of adding any real muscle to their thin frames. I’ve also seen these same men unwilling to do what it actually takes to bulk up.  Unless a medical condition prevents it, you can absolutely gain weight and add quality muscle to your physique. It’s going to require... [Read more]

The fact that America has gotten fatter over the last few decades is no secret. There are now an estimated 192 million Americans who are considered overweight. Even more shocking is the 93 million not just overweight, but obese. How did this happen? Man has always sought convenience, and Americans seem particularly spoiled. We like things done for us and done quickly, especially our food. Let’s face... [Read more]

I’ve been studying nutrition since I was 22 years old. I figured if you are what you eat, I should figure out how to eat. During the last 20+ years that I’ve been learning about all things nutritional, the USA has gotten fat. Really fat. Obese in fact.  This weight gain epidemic gave birth to a new industry. Next thing you know, people are on all kinds of “diets” that have special names, like... [Read more]

Yes, it’s that time of year again. It all starts with Halloween candy, at least for most. This year it started with National Chocolate Cupcake Day in my house, Oct 18th. We will begin feasting on goodies from now until New Years and all wake up hung over and exhausted on Jan 1, 2010 and decide we need to get back in shape. We’ll have added anywhere from 5-10 lbs of pure body fat and all of our... [Read more]

One of the more common misconceptions I hear, or anyone serious about fitness likely hears, is that I must workout all the time. Sometimes my friends will joke with me if they see me out somewhere, asking if I shouldn’t be working out right now. So I thought I’d clarify this misconception. While I suggest daily exercise for everyone, taking a day off whenever you feel you need one, I certainly... [Read more]

I started a blog called Eat Less Move Around More early in 2009 because I wanted to answer all the questions I always get around fitness related topics once and for all. I decided to put everything into a handy blog site where everyone could access the information and put it to use in their own fitness endeavors. I’ve come to a realization however, not one I’m pleased about, but one that appears... [Read more]

I just watched director Chris Bell’s documentary about steroid use in sports in America – Bigger Stronger Faster. It was a revealing film about a typical American family in suburban New York. Three brothers growing up with Hulk Hogan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone as their heroes. The film never loses focus on the family while interviewing Congressman, US Olympic coaches,... [Read more]
