Tell it like it is! The world, especially the blogosphere, needs a reality check. Everyone posts their best side. I find your “negativity” refreshing. You rock!

Don’t you mean “natural products” companies? Pharmaceutical companies don’t bother with that stuff, and have a higher bar of safety and evidence to cross to be able to sell anything.

You’re not negative, you’re telling it like it is! Unfortunately, sleep, healthy eating, and exercise doesn’t make pharmaceutical companies any money – until then (or until there’s a consumer uprising) they will continue to sell their crappy raspberry ketones and green coffee bean extract…

I’m hoping for a consumer uprising!

I SO agree with all of that. The reason I began reading your blog is because you ARE so real.

I follow you and no other fitness people because you. use. critical. thinking. SO much of the frustration you have expressed recently has been constructive for me, not a downer. Your criticism of the anti-science (or sometimes “What is science?!”) crowd has made me feel better about ignoring some of the showy “major fitness movements” that are basically daily fodder for guilt and doubt. You’ve supported my commitment to my own philosophy: If it sounds too good, too restrictive, or too fanatical to be true, it probably is. For me, whatever is closest to my healthy, humorous, active, nature-crazy Norwegian cousins’ lifestyle usually feels like the best thing for me, no matter how many people passionately tell me I’m misguided and should follow their thang. Others will have different approach than me and that’s great! When in doubt, improvise and soldier on with Health as the goal. Thank you, and keep following the diverse moods as your honest heart and head tell you to!!

Bravo! Small changes really do add up. I appreciate your blog and your insistence on sticking with the things that do work.

I second these emotions. I recently had an experience along these lines that I won’t go in to. I’m not sure how some of these folks sleep at night, but that’s between them and their maker. I bet you sleep nicely. I know that I do. In my outbreaks of sanity, I try to remember that the most powerful messages lie in a life well-lived – not how much $ we have at the end of it. Stay the course; you are appreciated.

I rarely get on facebook, so I haven’t seen those posts. You have every right to be upset about crap in the fitness industry and write about it, but I do hope that you feel better soon

You are exactly right and should not have to apologize. You are secure within yourself and it shows. You don’t need the backing of anyone about anything. You are you and I love it and YOU. You are real and I love real and the truth. If you were untruthful, I’d worry about you. Stay exactly the way you are. I rather like every mood of you.

Thank youuuuuuuu! Small actions happening here and I’m doing fine spending $0.00 on diet books, supplements, special drinks, bottled caveman crap and all that other lies that are being bought hand over fist by scared gullible people!
You are a breath of fresh air in a polluted industry!
