Can eating all this shit truly increase the size of your schlong? You be the judge. The Chinese are just plain bananas!

Well, well well…I think I’ve stumbled across proof that MMA actually originated in China. Check out all the strikes and the Shuai Jiao techniques…techniques that have been used by the Chinese WAY before BJJ and Judo existed.

Compared to the bloated steroid monsters of today, I seriously doubt ANYONE can come close to attaining the perfect blend of size and symmetry the Governator did. In he said…”I am the most beautiful man in the world!”

Low carbs and high protein is the way to lose weight, or so you’ll hear from one diet guru, and he has the testimonials to back it up.

Low fat, lots of carbs and fresh fruits and veggies, says another - and he’s got the back up from satisfied users, too.

A third swears that you need to count the amount of sugar; another tells you the enemy is white flour - if you want to lose real weight and keep it off, who do you listen to?
 
Take a look at the brief summaries below for a quick overview of the pros and cons of each of the popular types of diet plans.
 
Low Carb-Hi Protein Diets
 
Diets like the Atkins, the South Beach and the Zone Diet all recommend restricted carbohydrates and allow liberal amounts of protein, including protein derived from animal sources.

Generally, they limit the overall amount of carbohydrates, or teach you to differentiate between “good” and “bad” carbohydrates.

Bad carbohydrates, which are forbidden, include white flour, white bread, and white sugar.
 
Pros: The diets all encourage learning healthy eating as part of losing weight. Deriving most of your daily calories from high fiber sources of carbs like leafy green vegetables and grains is generally considered the best diet for nutrition by the established medical community. The popularity of the diets makes it easy to find low-carb foods.
 
Cons: The allowance of eating all the protein and fats you like flies in the face of conventional medical wisdom. A diet high in saturated fats could lead to heart disease, diabetes, gout and other chronic health conditions. Following the diets’ cautions and advice to keep portions reasonable should mitigate that concern, though.
 
Weight Loss “Programs”

Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Weight Watchers, SlimFast and a number of other weight loss programs rely heavily on pre-packaged ‘diet’ foods. They incorporate professional coaching, social structure and reinforcement.
 
Pros: The professional coaching and nutritional benefits are a big plus, as are the reinforcement and support aspect of the diets. Meals and supplements are prepackaged in the right proportions, and if you stick to the diets and exercise as directed you will lose weight.
 
Cons: The weekly fees and cost of meals can be expensive. In addition, if you rely completely on the packaged foods, you miss out on the re-education of your eating habits, which is important to maintaining any weight lost.
 
The Real Mayo Clinic Diet

This is not the diet that has circulated for the past thirty or more years and purported to have originated at the Mayo Clinic! The true Mayo Clinic’s nutrition and diet center recommends a healthy eating weight loss plan based on limiting fats, proteins and carbohydrates, counting calories and deriving most of the daily nutrition from vegetables, grains and fruit.
 
Pros: There’s no ‘diet’. Instead, you’re encouraged to take control of your eating. Portion control and sensible balance of nutrients are the cornerstones of a weight loss plan that takes weight off gradually, and helps you keep it off permanently.
 
Cons: It may be difficult to stay on the diet. Counting calories and portions can be difficult if you’re eating out or on the run.
 
There are many diets that promise to take weight off quickly and painlessly, without exercise or changing your eating habits.

The three major variations of diets above all will result in 1-2 pounds of loss per week, which most doctors believe is the optimum way to lose weight for long lasting results.

Yeah… this is the shit I’m talking about. Anti Arsehole self defense crash course by aruably one of the best favorites in the world, Bas Rutten. I really dig Bas cos unlike the other MMA boneheads, he actually has a personality and a fucking BRAIN.

These guys on the video make it seem as though the immutable laws of gravity have absolutely no effect on them. Super duper cool…

What you eat and what you eat will have a big effect on how quickly you take off pounds, and more importantly, how long you keep those pounds off.

There are certain foods that you really should be eating on a regular basis, for lots of good, healthy reasons.

They come from all food categories, but every one of them has one thing in common: they pack a lot of nutritional punch into their calories. Here’s a list of five diet foods that will help you stay healthy and lose weight.

1. Whole grain breads

If you’ve been paying attention, you know that evil carbs are the current diet buster. If you just stay away from all carbs, some of the diets proclaim, you’ll lose weight no matter what else you eat. That’s not only wrong, it’s downright dangerous for both your health and your
diet. There’s a reason that the Bible refers to bread as ‘the staff of life’.

Instead of cutting out carbs, you should be aiming to reduce them to a healthy portion of your diet - which most doctors agree is about 50-60% of your caloric intake.

That means that if you’re on a 1500 calorie a day diet, you should be striving to get about 900 calories a day from grains, fruits and vegetables.

Whole grain breads pack a lot of nutritional value. Replace your two slices of white toast with 1/2 a cup of oatmeal or whole grain cereal, and for about the same number of calories, you’ll be getting three times the vitamins, amino acids and roughage that your body needs to function.

You’ll feel full far longer, too - because you’ve given your body something to work on that will take a while to digest.

2. Fish

Eat at least three servings of fish per week, say many major medical associations. Fish is low in fat, as high in protein as red meat, and provides something that most other proteins don’t - omega 3 fatty acids.

Omega 3 is one of the main building blocks in your cells.

If your body doesn’t get enough Omega 3, it will try to build cells from other fatty acids. The problem is that those cells are not as flexible, and not quite the right shape.

Among the cells that aren’t quite right are the ones in your brain that help control impulses and tell your body what it needs. By providing enough Omega 3 for your body to use, you’ll be healing the damage done through years of poor diet.

And since fish, as a general rule, has fewer calories than most meats, you’ll be saving calories, too. Just remember that you’re REPLACING portions of meat with fish, not adding them to what you already eat.

3. Spinach

At 13 calories and 2 grams of carbohydrate in 2 cups of chopped raw spinach, this is one of the lowest cost sources of nutrition you can give your body.

Every serving gives you folic acid, manganese, beta-carotene, protein, lutein (a potent anti-oxidant), magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin K.

You can eat it raw in salads, steamed as a side dish, or sautéed in a tiny bit of oil for a different taste, and still get all the nutritional benefits.

4. Olive Oil

Your body does need a little fat to process vitamins and use them properly.

Olive oil is a mono-unsaturated fat that is the primary source of fat in the so-called Mediterranean diet. It contains antioxidants, flavonoids, beta-carotene and vitamin E, among other things.

One tablespoon has a whopping 125 calories, but drizzled on a 13 calorie spinach salad with a little lemon juice and some garlic, you still have a meal with less than 150 calories - and a whole lot of healthy fuel for your body.

5. Pink Grapefruit

With only 40 calories in half a grapefruit, you’re getting 45 mg of vitamin C, lycopene, pectin, beta-carotene and potassium. It’s versatile and tasty.

Eat it as is for breakfast, or toss it into a salad with spinach for an extra punch to perk up the nutritional quality of your diet.

Most importantly, don’t base your diet around any single ONE ingredient.

The best way to lose weight is to eat a healthy variety of foods to make sure that you get all the essential nutrients that you need each day.
