Since the late 1990’s Dr. John Berardi has published 8 scientific abstracts; 15 scientific papers and textbook chapters; presented at nearly 50 scientific, exercise, and nutrition related conferences; and published countless articles online.

His first articles at Testosterone Magazine so many years ago, provided me with the basis for everything I know about nutrition today. Now I will turn some of that knowledge over to you in the form of Nutrition Tips written by Dr. Berardi himself.

20 Unhealthy Foods That You Think Are Healthy But Are Actually Killing You Slowly

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Updated: 11/12/2009

HamburgerLet me preface this post by saying: “I eat these foods.” Yes, it is true, I do eat about 50% of the foods listed. Especially peanuts, Smartfood, and some of the carbohydrate foods listed at the bottom.

If you take this list literally, it will just aggravate you, so take it with a grain of salt… or maybe a rain of whole wheat.

There are many terms that are misleading in the food advertising industry today. Think of how many times you see healthy phrases plastered all over food containers.

Your Questions
Your Questions

I get plenty of questions in various comments throughout the website, but I also get comments and questions via the Project Swole Contact Form.

Generally I address those questions through e-mail, but often I do not have the time to reply to each and every question personally.

From now on I want to take a more proactive approach to answering Your Health Questions by posting them separately in the blog. This way we can be sure that everyone benefits from the Q & A.

“I was wondering if some of the things that i normally eat on a regular basis are healthy or not.. I’m 19 years old and do not get good home-cooked meals anymore.. I’m now living on my own so I try and make things that are fast and easy.

Here is a list of some of things that I take in:

  1. Special K strawberry cereal
  2. salad mix (packaged) with non-fat thousand island dressing
  3. unsweetened luzianne tea with 2 pkgs. of sweet n lo
  4. 100% orange juice (Tropicana)
  5. grapefruit juice ( do not want to give up)
  6. lean cuisine meals (all)
  7. granola and Nutri-Grain bars

What should I be substituting these with?

And also are rice cakes and real fruit smoothies good for you?”

Do you want to list your food related links at Project Swole?

It works like this: leave a comment with your favorite link of all time for today’s category.

Wow, that’s simple!

For more links and other link categories, check out Your Links at Project Swole.

Today’s theme is Food.

A happy bonus: the best links of all I will surely submit to multiple social bookmark sharing websites, which means more traffic for you! =)

Here’s my link of the day: Healthy Recipes from the Healthy Irishman

“The Healthy Irishman Fueling your body with healthy food. Fueling your mind with the wealth of health.”

The Healthy Irishman delivers tasty healthy recipes on a daily basis, while also being witty and smart. This is a blog that I surf to whenever I am trying to think of a new recipe to try.

Project Swole has a couple healthy recipes, but nothing compared to the Healthy Irishman. If you are looking for new, innovative, healthy recipes, check it out.

An honorable mention is: Get Whole Foods at Your Local Whole Foods Market

Whole Foods Market is the #1 whole food retailer in the country. On this website you can find healthy recipes, local Whole Foods Market locations, as well as tons of articles and other information about healthy food.

If you are looking to make a healthy impact on your diet, you should consider switching from processed foods to whole foods. You will see and feel the difference.

Now it’s your turn. But don’t submit links to pages that have nothing to do with food, because I won’t approve those comments. =)

Halloween Recipes – Zombie Brain Pate

Brain Pate
Brain Pate

This is a recipe for a creamy seafood pate, or dip, which you can put on crackers, vegetables, or wedges of bread. You will need to get a brain mold, or some other kind of mold, to use to shape your pate. Makes a nice shrimp or crab flavored dip, which can be spooky as long as you use a spooky mold.

I found this brain mold for sale on Amazon. You can pick one up and do some additional Christmas shopping for the kids while you are at it.

Like rust on a car, oxidation can cause damage to cells and may contribute to aging. Oxidation causes the formation of substances called free radicals, which is the primary cause of age related skin wrinkles and pigment discoloration.
