Over the years, Tracy and I each have had much success training clients who “kicked it up a notch” in preparation for special occasions other than weddings such as the Oscars, Golden Globes, milestone birthdays, modeling shoots, exercise videos and the like. But, as my Physique Competitor Fiance Tracy will tell you, it is easier […]
Good Morning You Cellmongers: Today’s installment may be a bit “hard to digest”, but if you understand what is truly necessary to do in order to succeed at losing weight (fat, more specifically), you’ll finally be able to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. Let’s start with the basics. Everyone has fat cells that […]
Good Morning and Happy Mother’s Day: Before I begin this week’s installment, I want to give a special shout out to a mother that has been with me trough thick and thin for the last seven years. RBI (Ribby), my boxer, commonly referred to as RBI RIB suffered a mild heart attack last week and […]
Hola Designers, today (April 30), on what would have been my Dad’s 74th birthday, I am sending out an Early Edition of Body Designs. Don’t expect one this Sunday, Tracy and I have other plans. Besides, Since the topic is obviously Cinco de Mayo, I don’t want you to have any excuses as to why […]

Good Morning All You Overstuffed Turkeys: Last week’s installment on Sweet Potatoes and Yams was such a conversation starter, I figured for this week, it would be nice for you to see how I (and Tracy) implement some of what I “talk” about each week into our “daily” diet – especially when it is part […]
I’ve been developing diets (or what I call Nutrition Plans) for the last 20 years. And while the quality of the protein I personally eat and suggest to “clients” is of utmost importance, I believe I may have overlooked one of the top “dogs”.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! As “we” un-officially kick off the summer of 2012 with Dodger Baseball and Dodger Dogs, I thought it would be apropos to discuss the differences (the good and the bad) between Sodium Nitrate and Nitrite.
