At only 180 pounds on a 6-foot-5-inch frame he kept fit, but never payed much attention to his eating. When he joined the Marine Corps at the age of 18, rather than keeping up with a healthy diet, he chose to ween his body off by restricting calories and his daily caloric intake even dipped below 2,000 -- a whole lot less than what a growing 6 foot 5 needs. He began to feel " dizzy, weak, irritable and sad a lot of the time" and weighed in at only about 160 pounds...

Since 2016, Kenyan born celebrity chef and restaurateur Kiran Jethwa has co-presented Food Unwrapped on Channel 4. His new show, Extreme Food sees him travelling to the most remote and spectacular corners of the planet to discover the world's finest ingredients. Here, he discusses his latest superfood find, and it's one with a lot of bite: crocodile. What Is It? Crocodiles are large, impressive aquatic reptiles that live throughout the Tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. These prehistoric predators are believed to have changed little since the time of the dinosaurs. In fact the caveman diet is thought to have included crocodiles. Stone tools and the butchered bones of crocodiles were found at a 1.95 million year old prehistoric “kitchen in Northern Kenya. It has even been suggested that eating the reptile's rich flesh may have helped humans evolve bigger brains. Admittedly at first glance the rough scaly exterior of this intimidating beast may not init...

There’s too many people that think that a healthy diet just means one with more protein. Wrong. Yes, you need protein, but you also need carbs and fats. Most of all you need real food. But if you’re working out, a daily protein shake can help you recover better and gain muscle. Or it can simply add a few pounds to your gut. The choice is really yours. Protein increases energy, focus, memory and helps build and maintain muscle. Most of us are rarely protein-deficient because most of us love meat. Today we’re talking protein shakes but let’s also note that high-quality protein foods are super important. By high-quality we’re talking about grass-fed meats, organic cage-free poultry or eggs and wild-caught fish. High-quality or organic proteins or meats are more nutrient-dense. But many of us prefer to scoop protein powder in a mixer and there’s really nothing wrong with that either. There are tonnes of protein powders you canbuy that will bring you results. Whey, for example,...

Isn’t it about time you gave up on the meal plan based on chicken breasts and broccoli? These five meatless meals aren’t trying to hide the fact that they’re meatless they are loaded with protein and taste amazing. Why not join in on the next Meatless Monday and impress a few of your Instagram followers with a new dish rather than another #6packselfie. Why does she want me to stop eating meat? To put it simply, I don’t. But… I do think it’s worthwhile to try having a few meals (or days) per week that are meatless.

It is optimal for healthy individuals to eat a variety of foods to get the micro and macronutrients that they need. Eating the same few foods over ...

If you want lifelong health, I have one simple diet rule. Just one. Stop dieting. That is to say, scratch the thought of latching on to a diet for a few weeks or a few months hoping that your perfect body is on the other side of a bowl of kale. There is a cyclical and complex relationship between the diet industry’s need for profit and diet failure. The two are directly connected. The diet industry is set up to make you fail because your failure generates income. RELATED : These Three Easy Tricks Will Help You Eat Better It is rather brilliant actually – Americans reportedly spend more than US$60 billion a year trying to lose weight. The problem is most people can’t maintain it. From celebrity endorsements, rock-hard bodies in perfectly placed advertisements, we are all – men and women alike – bombarded by messages telling us to look a certain way. And if you fail, you take the blame. But if the diet industry actually delivered on their promises, if it was as easy as followin...

And this is exactly what he did. His friends inspired him to hit the gym and he decided to hit the recumbent cycle machine for 30 minutes.
