Personal Trainer to Gym Buddy Allison and I: You wouldn’t believe it, this morning this guy had his wife in here to get her body fat measured. But get this – he said he was training her and wasn’t going to let up until she reached… five percent body fat! Allison and I: *B horror …
Ever play that game in grade school where you’d close your eyes, hold your nose and open your mouth and then a friend would put something (hopefully food) in your mouth and you’d try and guess what it was? No? What you weren’t as trusting and, yeah, gullible as I was? Wuss. But seriously, you …

This was me. Except I’m not Black. Or shirtless. Or this muscular. Or a dude. Okay, shut up.

No? Wuss. These mice are genetically engineered with firefly juice to have livers that glow when CRTC2, also known as the fasting switch, is turned on. It all gets very techy but here’s what you need to know: Our bodies run on fat & sugar (glucose). When we eat, we have a rise in our …
