You can find EVIDENCE to support ANY view?
Posted on January 24th, 2012 by Jeff Thiboutot M.S.
There seems to be a fairly common view that virtually any idea or concept can be supported with “evidence”. I have had a couple of recent comments that have highlight this view.
One of the recent comments was;
“All scientific research is based on controlled studies, all of which can be arranged to “prove” any outcome that you want. I can setup a viable study to have it demonstrate that protein is bad and whole grains is good, even if that is not the case.” Read more »
Your Protein Shake is No Longer a Protein Shake
Posted on January 18th, 2012 by Matt Schoeneberger
Client: I started drinking a protein shake to get a little more protein in my diet.
Me: Cool! Are you using a pre-made shake or making your own?
Client: Making my own. I use 1 scoop of protein, a banana, 2 tbs peanut butter
Me: That’s not a protein shake.
Client: It has protein in it.
Me: So does a Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese.
413 calories, 17 grams of fat, 36 grams of carbohydrate, and 33 grams of protein does not equal a protein shake.
The take-home lesson here is be careful that your protein shake isn’t turning into a meal replacement shake. There’s nothing wrong with meal replacement shakes, except when they’re not replacing but instead adding a meal, know what I mean? Know which one you need and know how to make it.

Quick, Light, Low-Carb Meal – RO*TEL Rescue
Posted on January 11th, 2012 by Matt Schoeneberger
I bought some thinly sliced steak over the weekend from the “manager’s special” section of the butcher counter. It is, after all, my favorite section of the store. For various reasons I didn’t get around to using the steak until last night and when I opened the package it smelled kind of funky. There I stood, in my girlfriend’s kitchen with no steak and a pretty empty kitchen. Read more »
Out of My Inbox: Vitamins

Sometimes we get email from our coaching clients that could help the rest of you out. So, with their permission, they get put on the blog for all to enjoy. This one happens to be about how a multivitamin fits into a paleo-style, SPEED enhanced, fat loss plan.
In Case Your Hatred of Ancel Keys Keeps You Up At Night
Posted on January 3rd, 2012 by Matt Schoeneberger
Denise Minger has a nice little (that’s not true) summary (not true either) of Ancel Keys’ early work and some arguments that have been levied against him and it.
It’s long, but the take home message I’ll quote here:
Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t causation. Correlation isn’t a cucumber.
Have fun reading!
