I don’t write for them anymore (no, nothing bad happened). However, I did get a bit of a reputation from my column, where I had over 100 articles published as the “Fit Family Guy.”

KFC Double Down: Is it Satan in sandwich form?
A few weeks ago That’s Fit.ca’s Healthy Foodie, Doug DiPasquale, wrote about the artery-clogging abomination that is the KFC Double Down, revealing it to be yet another stomach-punching horror foisted upon us by the fast food industry in its latest effort to totally gross us out. Read more…
The KFC Double Down: Yeah I went there
Meh.
That’s my reaction to the KFC Double Down. Totally not worth it.
I wrote an article back in May about this sodium-injected satanic sandwich, stating at the time that I wanted one. Well, it finally came to Canada, and I no longer wanted one.
However, I did want to write an article about it again, so guess what?
I suffer for my art. Read more…
Overweight? Should you accept your fat or fight it?
I don’t discriminate against the overweight. Anyone who thinks so would be saying I discriminate against my own mother, and you don’t want to do that, because I love my mommy. Read more…
Can you lose a pound a day, day after day?
Lose 30 pounds in 30 days!
Believe it or not, it can be done. There are three different ways I can think of to accomplish this: Read more…
Body weight: Is it pre-destined by genetics?
Some people believe they are doomed to be overweight. They think that no matter what they do, they can’t permanently keep the pounds off because they are predestined to exist at a certain genetic body weight set point.
This is also known as “Poor me syndrome.” Read more…
Interval training for better sex
In my last article I wrote about the body’s various energy systems, and now I’m going to put that information to practical use. And by practical I mean couch rugby/the horizontal mambo/wink wink, nudge nudge… you get the idea. Read more…
Eight reasons why I love to run, and why you will too
1. I love to eat
Running is one of the most time-efficient, calorie-burning exercises around. When I run, that food I’ve eaten gets burned off as heat energy. If I didn’t run, that food would end up getting stored as an unhealthy and unattractive blob around my midsection. Running many kilometres is what got me slim, and it’s what keeps me that way.

Want to get toned? Start lifting weights like a man
All right, it’s time for me to be a jerk again.
When it comes to weightlifting, I always hear women say, “I just want to be toned.” What I think they mean is, “I only want to lift light weights.” Read more…
Michelle Obama’s arms: Get yours to look like hers
At the top of my list of travel destinations to avoid is that little room where customs agents keep their rubber gloves.
As a result, I wanted to be purposely obscure in this article because I don’t want any hot keywords getting picked up by the Department of Homeland Acts of Patriotism (and my name subsequently put on their “do not fly and commence body cavity search” list). Read more…
“I don’t have time to exercise,” and 5 other lame excuses
OK, this article is going to make some people mad.
Tell you what; if you’re a single parent who is broke, works two jobs to make ends meet, and looks after some special needs kids then I’ll give you a pass. This article does not apply to you.
If, however, you have one job and can find time to watch even a little TV, mindlessly surf the Internet, spend extra time that you really don’t need to at a life-sucking job, or refuse to look for those little holes in your schedule that you know you could find if you really tried, then what’s your excuse?
Seriously, I want to hear it. I could use a good laugh. Read more…
Exercise motivation and the fine art of sucking it up
Several times I’ve discussed how important it is to develop passion for the exercise you engage in. It’s passion – enjoying the act – that gets you to be and stay active for hours each week, week after week, year after year.
But sometimes, passion is lacking. Sometimes, you just really don’t-freakin’-wanna. Read more…
Ephedra for weight loss: A really bad idea
Ephedra is an herb. It comes from a plant. It’s a natural substance. Since it’s natural, it should be just fine to take, right?
Wrong. Read more…
