Happy New Year!

Hope you all survived the holidaze. I barely did. We were in England, where mass quantities of cheese, pot pies, christmas puddings, and fine cask ales were consumed.

Interview With A Madman (Dieter)

Interview With A Madman (Dieter)

I have known Matt (Ganyoon) for over 10 years. In all of our conversations, I don’t think one has ever been about diet.

What can I say? Tyson has shown determination, drive, and courage in this epic adventure. It is no small task to completely re-work your diet, even for 10 days.

With only 1 more day left, Tyson is well on his way to a 100% successful juice fast. When I saw him last night, he was noticeably skinnier, had an energetic spark in his eyes and even an orange glow to his skin. A new man! Another 10 days and you will look like Carrot … Continue reading »

Days 6 and 7

7 days, going strong. He made it longer than I thought he would haha (love you bro!!) Well, it’s still been tough, but I’ve gotten over my hatred of the juice. Yesterday morning, as I alluded to in my last post, I added some pineapple to my drinks. I’ve had really bad heartburn for years, … Continue reading »
