Why You Should Get Enough Sleep written in text with image of a woman sleeping.

You’re #teamnosleep, huh?

So you’re always on the grind and don’t have the time to do that shit that poor people do, which is to rest, huh?1The reason why you stay up late every night has nothing to do with you trying to be a super-duper entrepreneur. Instead, you’re spending the midnight hours doing dumb shit like watching TV or stalking your ex who was smart enough to break things off with you. My humble apologies for trying to paint you in a better light here!

Well, that’s why you’re fat!

…and ugly, too.

Nah, your genes are why you’re ugly and no amount of sleep will help you in that department!

But your weight? Continue reading Why You Should Get Enough Sleep

When you’re hungry, your stomach might growl. Or you might experience headaches. Or feel lightheaded.1Oh, and when you’re hungry, you might also become a total dick to everyone around you, as accurately described in a series of Snickers commercials beginning in 2010.

To stop any of those things from continuing to happen, you’re supposed to eat, right?

Right!

So then, ummmmmmm, WHY IS IT THAT YOU JUST ATE BUT ARE ALREADY HUNGRY AND EXPERIENCING THOSE THINGS AGAIN?!?!

Good question!

There are many reasons why you might still be hungry even after eating. The most obvious is that your calorie intake is too low to supply your energy needs. As for other explanations that aren’t so “DUH!!!”, looka here…

Other Explanations:

• Too many refined carbs

• Eating too fast

• Eating while distracted

Are Breakfast Cereals Healthy?

Breakfast Cereals: Healthy Or Not? written in text with image of a woman holding a bowl of cereal and stroking her chin in thought.

Wanna hear a scary story?

Huh, do ya?!

*cue spooky music*

Half of Americans eat cereal for breakfast every day, coming out to a total of about 160 bowls per year. That means there’s a 50 percent chance that you’re one of those people.

Now, since I’m 100 percent right that you’re one of those cereal eating motherfuckers, how healthy is that breakfast cereal that I’m 100 percent right that you eat?

Considering that the ads for cereal and the cereal boxes themselves say that breakfast cereal is nutritious, asking about the healthiness of breakfast cereal is a pretty stupid fucking question. Yeah, it’s a pretty stupid fucking question because cereal manufacturers have no reason to lie about how healthy their products are.

Or do they?!?!1*cue dramatic sound effect*

Dun dun DUNNNNN!!! Continue reading Are Breakfast Cereals Healthy?

What To Do With Thanksgiving Leftovers

What To Do W/ Thanksgiving Leftovers written in text with image of Thanksgiving day food on a table.

Thanksgiving is over and after spending the day eating more than you normally do, there’s a lot of delicious green bean casserole and other food left.

You know you can’t eat like every day is Thanksgiving, so what are you to do with all the delicious green bean casserole and other leftover food?1Yeah, the shitload of food you cooked and now have left over after inviting all your friends, family, and coworkers to your place for dinner and absolutely no one showing up!

You’re right.

You certainly can’t pig out ‘til the leftovers are gone because while one day of indulgence isn’t going to do anything to you, eating freely like that is a good way to welcome weight gain into your life.

So what to do?!

Hmmmm… Continue reading What To Do With Thanksgiving Leftovers

Barbell

barbell

noun [bahr·bel]
weightlifting equipment consisting of a long bar that you load up with weight plates at each end for the performance of a variety of exercises — that is, when it’s not doubling as a foam roller by some fucking guy rolling around on the floor on it like foam rollers haven’t been invented for that exact fucking purpose. see also: WEIRDO

Example of Barbell in a Sentence
Sure, you can very well perform the exercise with dumbbells but I’d prefer that you do it with a barbell so that way you can go a little bit heavier to overload the muscle because each arm doesn’t have to work independently to hold the weight, which should result in more hypertrophy. But hey, if you don’t want to do the program the way it’s written by the person you paid to write it for you, then don’t! Fuck, you already paid me so what do I care?!
