Everyone has heard about the many miracles of Coconut Oil. From anti-bacterial, to anti-aging, coconut oil has a wide variety of benefits, and uses. One of the main benefits from coconut oil is that it contains MCT's or Medium Chain Triglycerides.

MCT's are Medium chain fatty acids that your body can convert to energy faster than more common Long Chain Triglycerides. These fatty acids also aid in fat burning weight loss. This is done by increasing Ketone Production in the body.

What are Ketones? Our bodies normally run on glucose, that’s produced when the body breaks down carbohydrates. When your body doesn’t have enough glucose, or insulin to use the glucose, your body starts breaking down fats for energy. Ketones are byproducts of this breakdown. This is called putting your body in a state of Ketosis. This will cause your body to burn fat for energy over sugars.

Meatless Mania

While non-meat eating diets seem to be on the rise, a 500% rise in the vegan diet since 2014 to be exact, more and more companies are coming out with plant based "Meat Like" products. This is something that could be heaven sent for those plant based dieters that are getting bored with their same old meals, while remembering what it was like to eat Chinese take-out, burgers, brats or even a spaghetti dinner! In this post, I will take you through a few of my favorite plant based takes on take-out classics, while breaking down the nutritional info along the way. I want to start out with the fact that I started this "Meatless, Non-Dairy Lifestyle" back in March of this year. I procrastinated with it and pushed off the idea, because I thought you needed to eat meat to build muscle and gain strength. After 3 months in, I would say that is not the case. While I still do eat eggs daily, and on a rare occasion fish, I haven't had any of the typi...

Testosterone: Foods That Help Produce It, and Why You Want More of It

It seems like you can't listen to any radio station without hearing commercials for some drug that helps men with low testosterone . They tell you all the side effects of low testosterone like, lack of energy, mood problems including depression, increase of body fat, loss of muscle mass and strength, decreased libido or sex drive and erectile dysfunction. But none of them seem to ask, why do all these men have low testosterone now? What has changed that has made males testosterone levels decrease? The answer lies in many areas including, diet, exercise and environment. To try and figure out how or why so many males testosterone levels are dropping, you must first look at how the body produces testosterone. In humans and most other animals, testosterone is produced primarily by the testicles in males, and to a lesser extent, the ovaries in females. Like other steroid hormones, testosterone is derived from cholesterol. The first step in the biosynthesis invo...

I will also explain how I use it everyday and my keys to making it as beneficial as possible! Fasting has been practiced for thousands of years in many cultures across the globe for various reasons, such as religion .
