Danie Skredsvig! Here is a little Q&A I asked Danie after she was crowned 2013 Fitness Fest Champ; EDGE: Were you shocked to find out that you won? Ummm, duh! I was astonished! I mean, insofar as I went into this with the casually delusional notion that I WOULD WIN, I also knew that, statistically […]

March 19, 2013

Pretty “punny” huh? In this case of my unrivaled wit, N.E.A.T. stands for “Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenisis”. Pretty intelligent sounding stuff…So what constitutes as non-exercise activity? Anything that isn’t sitting on your butt, sleeping or athletic-type exercise. (weights, cardio, yoga, etc.) For example,  if you park farther away from work and have to walk 2 more […]

Knowing the bulk of EDGE’s clientele, I figured bribery and competition was the best way to achieve […]

(good luck eating vegetables again) As most of you know, I can’t stand fitness infomercials or reps. Typically, a bunch of cheap crap that doesn’t do anything to help you lose weight being pitched by celebs and fitness models that don’t even use the product. There is one man that does practice what he preaches, […]

Another Fat Melting “Miracle” Drug…

Another year, another whack-a-doo weight loss “mega fat burner” supplement. This year’s buzzword of BS is “raspberry ketone”. According to the linked website, it reversed weight gain in a “patient” (mouse/rat) eating a high fat diet while also removing fat from the liver…once again, in a rodent. There is absolutely no scientific proof that raspberry […]

I know I haven’t seen it all, but an “actual” medicinal ice-cream? “Paging Dr. Placebo, paging Dr. Placebo. Would you please come to the justification room in the Bullsh*t wing please?” Not to be too harsh but c’mon man! Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams makes an “Influenza Sorbet” that combines Maker’s Mark bourbon, lemon, cayenne pepper, […]

Now we listen to a Spice Girl for nutrition advice?!

The Mayans may have been correct about the end of the world, they just got the date wrong. Victoria Beckham (aka. Posh Spice, Mrs. David Beckham) has tweeted (yup, this is what reporting has come to nowadays) about a cookbook (like she cooks) that touts an alkaline diet. This is based on the theory of […]
