Here I am going to explore what the difference is between Krill Oil vs Fish Oil.
A lot of people seem to be confused because they are both sources of Omega-3 fatty acid awesomeness. However, they do differ in some important ways that I will explain here.
Probably the most important in favour of fish oil, is that it is much cheaper than krill oil. However, krill is more potent, gram for gram, so that should even out the price a little.
But when money is tight, fish oil or simply quality foods with natural levels of Omega-3

Krill Oil Benefits - What is awesome about it?
I've done quite a bit of research on krill oil supplements in the past few weeks and in this article I outline what I discovered about krill oil benefits.
What is krill oil?
Krill oil is a nutritional supplement made by extracting the oils from shrimp-like creatures called krill.
Krill oil provides Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) like fish oil, but unlike fish oil they are primarily bound to phospholipids (mainly phosphatidylcholine) instead of triglycerides.
Phospholipids are the type of lipids that form cell membranes

11 Critical Weight Loss Mistakes
I spent the majority of the holidays at my computer, writing a new weight loss report titled "11 Critical Weight Loss Mistakes".
January is approaching, the time when people make resolutions and decide to burn off the holiday binges.
I decided to write this as a list of guidelines for people to keep in mind before they grab their credit cards to buy the latest and greatest weight loss plan which more often than not simply does not work.
This report is actually more than a simple "hit list" of mistakes. It is a collection of

Why swallowing liquid saturated fat may actually be a good idea
Before you read any further, let me ask you two questions.
Question #1 - What would you gain if you could eliminate your food cravings and reduce your appetite substantially?
Common benefits may include: weight loss, better sleep, looking better, higher self-esteem, etc, etc..
Question #2 - Would you be willing to do something rather nauseating every day to experience those benefits?
Now that we've got that covered...

SoFAS - The New Reason to Hate Saturated Fats
If you've been reading this blog for a while, then you know that I am a big fan of saturated fats.
I don't believe they cause heart disease, and I believe that the propaganda pointed against them in the past few decades has been completely unfounded.
A very large study came out in 2010 which compiled data from 21 other studies and discovered that saturated fat has no association with heart disease.
However, many so-called experts, even doctors and nutritionists, still believe that saturated fat is the devil when it comes to

How Many Calories in an Apple?
In this article I am going to answer the question: How many calories in an apple?
We've all heard the phrase "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" at some point in our lives. Now I don't know about that, but they sure are tasty and convenient.
They are definitely one of the more satiating fruits out there, and a single apple packs a decent amount of fibre, potassium and Vitamin C.
How many calories in an apple?
Short answer:
A small apple contains: 77 calories, 21g carbs.
A medium apple contains: 95 calories,

9 Reasons Why You Should Not Eat Breakfast
In this article I am going to outline 9 reasons why you should not eat breakfast.
Following my last article debunking some of the common myths around skipping breakfast, I thought of a few very good reasons why it might be highly convenient to not eat breakfast at all.
1. Breakfast takes time.
Preparing breakfast in the morning does take a little bit of time. If you're wolfing down cereal with milk, it might take about 5-10 minutes in a rush, longer if you read the newspaper or check your Facebook news feed while
