So who’s the culprit that got on my nerves this time? Well it’s none other than the over-hyped, over-cocky, over-interrupting sunva’ bitch Mr. Kanye West.

At this point, MOST of you get it. You know exactly why hes on this list and why he gets my “special” award, end of story. But for those who don’t, or those who want a little wrap up along with a focused, laser like opinion… let’s see what landed this little chode on my douche radar. (Hey Kanye, this is one award that you’ll actually win & deserve both at the same time… isn’t that something?)

First is his OVER the top attention-whore attitude. I’m all for loving yourself, being confident and being a cock for hilarity’s sake when the time is right, but this guy is a little much. And on top of that, if you ARE gona be cocky, back your shit up dude! Some people say he’s talented, I say he is OK at best. Sure, he’s got some catchy songs and some good ones but there is no way this guy is “super talented” with his monotone rapping voice… not in my fucking books anyways. But you know what? This isn’t the main reason why I think he’s a douchebag, it’s more to do with the fact that…

He is a whiny, bitchy faggot with a childish attitude at award shows! I swear I haven’t seen someone throw a fit this bad since I saw a little kid lose his $1 at a carnival game. For being one of the “top” artists, he’s go no class, no respect for other artists and can’t accept defeat like a man. I think this pisses me off the most. The first incident was when he lost to Justice for best music video. Check this out:

Then as everyone knows, the second incident was where Kanye took to the stage and blurted out “I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time” to Taylor Swift WHILE she is in the middle of her acceptance speech for winning best female music video. The transcript of what he said doesn’t do it justice because the way he said it along with the body-language used just gives “disrespect” a whole new meaning. Now, let’s break this down shall we? WHAT THE FUCK does Kanye West have to do with the best female music video category? NOTHING! (well now that I know he’s a pussy-loser, maybe it does)

But really, who the fuck does that? How can someone have such a desperate need for attention that they have to voice an unwanted opinion in the middle of someone who just won a fucking award? Taylor started crying… and if it was any other woman I don’t see why a slap to his face is unjustified. But Kanye isn’t THAT stupid, I mean if Pink won and he tried this bullshit, she would have kicked his ass.

Now some people are saying “oh he made a mistake” or “hes only human, he said he’s going to apologize to Taylor”. You know what I say to those numbnuts? STFU! He didn’t make a mistake, when he walked up on that stage he knew EXACTLY what he was about to do. A mistake is when you’re giving a speech and you say some shit that just comes out. Or when you’re performing a task and say… your hand slips. It’s not intentional.

In Kanye’s case, it was a deliberate act of douchbaggery. I mean I of all people should know… when I’m about to pull some shenanigans, there is no fucking “mistake” that’s about to happen. There isn’t any uncertainty either, I know exactly what I’m doing, but at least I don’t bitch about it and own up to it like a man.

So Mr.Kanye West, you fucking gayfish, these are the reasons (and I’m sure plenty more will come along) why you’ve earned yourself the:

P.S- For those who are clueless as to why I called Kanye West a “gayfish”… check out the hilarious South Park episode where they diss the living shit out of this man. Here’s a little preview…

Anyways back to my point, you DO need to eat frequently because it works – and it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to gain weight or lose weight. What you eat in each of those meals along with the type of training that you do is what will have a direct impact on your success. But since we’re all busy as HELL these days, we barely have enough time to cook & prepare our 5-6 daily meals (I should know, I’m constantly over worked… I’m always telling this person to do that, that person to do this and pointing fingers and shit – gets exhausting). So what to do? Enter super-convenient protein and energy bars.

They’re jam packed with nutrients, minerals and vitamins and come in a million different flavors and in a million different types. Some are meant for recovery and are full of protein, some are meant for pre-workout and are carb heavy, some are meant to help you lose weight, and on and on. I think today, “bars” can adhere to almost ANY need that you may have when it comes to nutrition… BUT, are they really as “healthy” and “nutritious” as they claim to be?

Well let’s find out. Before deciding on what brand to buy or what ingredient content to look for, you need to pick your GOAL because we have so many freakin’ choices, there is no ONE energy or protein bar that will do everything for you. It’s all been specialized… Gone are the days when you could use the same ol’ PowerBar® for pre and post workout. As far as I’m concerned, here are the categories that you need to consider:

• Pre workout (Bars that have just enough carbs to fuel your workouts)
• Pre workout energy (I’ve seen bars that now contain ingredients similar to those found in energy drinks… So maybe you need a pick-me-up?)
• Post workout (No time to mix up a protein shake? Running late? A high-protein post-workout bar may be for you)
• Meal Replacement (Working long hours and need to replace a meal with a nice light snack? You might want to look into these)

Now, don’t go all hay-wire and be like: “I need to fulfill ALL those categories”. That’s bullshit – you’re telling me that every meal in your day is going to be a convenience food packed inside a wrapper? Something’s wrong with you. If 3 jobs are getting in the way of you bettering your health… Then quit one of your fucking jobs! You’ll survive, I promise. So my suggestion is to pick ONE of those categories and set out on a quest to find your perfect bar.

What makes a good bar? Well here are a few of FJ’s rules of thumb to follow when picking out a protein or energy bar:

• Watch the saturated fat content. I saw an Atkin’s Advantage Chocolate bar which had 8g of saturated fat. That’s the same amount you get in a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Cheeseburger. Haha… So much for the “advantage”.

• SUGAR! Some protein bars have so much sugar to mask their disgusting taste that you might as well eat an OhHenry (I’m dead serious). Find ones that have around 4-5g or less per bar. If you come across ones that are sweetened with Splenda… It’s not a bad choice. Even though I’m not a huge fan of sugar substitutes (except Stevia), Splenda (sucralose) has shown to be quite safe. I’m still keeping my eyes open on that stuff though.

• Carbs. Ok so you want a bar to fuel your workout, that doesn’t mean you need to do a carb-overload! A bar that as a moderate amount of carbs (20-25g) will be MUCH better for you than ones that have very HIGH amount of carbs. Only serious athletes such as bodybuilders or long distance runners need the high-carb bars as far as I’m concerned.

• Fiber – Something you should look for if you’re into meal replacement. A bar with 5-7g of fiber will ensure that you’ve had your 1/3 of the recommended fiber serving for that day. Not too shabby. Also remember that fiber helps keep you feeling “fuller” for longer AND a high fiber diet has shown to help your body absorb FEWER calories at the end of the day.

• Overall calories. With the exception of post-workout bars you should look for ones that have no more than 350 calories per bar. 200 if you’re looking for a nice mid-day snack.

• It doesn’t matter what bar you eat… Remember to drink at least a FULL GLASS of water along with them. 99% of the bars are extremely nutrient dense and you need to make it easier for your body to digest and absorb everything. Otherwise… You’ll shit it out and you’ve just wasted your money.

So what about taste? Well I won’t lie… finding one that taste’s good while meeting all the “healthy” criteria is a bitch, so you’re just going to have to take a few chances. A lot of the times high fibre bars have boat loads of sugar to mask their taste. Or sometimes low sugar bars will end up having artery-clogging levels of saturated fat. I doubt you’ll ever find a perfect bar, but there are ones out there that are GOOD ENOUGH.

These will get you by… But remember that NOTHING replaces whole foods. These are for convenience purposes only, so don’t become some energy bar addict. In the end, an energy or protein bar is USUALLY better for you than junk food, and because you have so many options I’d say it can be a healthy choice as long as you know what to look for. Eat up!

Well I can bet you that almost EVERYONE has felt this way before, you are not alone. This happens even IF you get your 8 hours a night.

——————————

FEW REASONS FOR THIS

——————————–

When you are in deep sleep, your body is in a different state. Your heart rate is slowed down, your temperature is slightly different and your body releases a whole bunch of chemicals that help you relax. For the sake of simplicity, let’s call these “vampire chemicals” because their job is to induce sleep!

Now when that alarm goes off and you have to suddenly wake up, these ‘vampire chemicals’ are still in abundance throughout your body, it takes time for them to subdue.

Funny enough, there is one simple way to completely deplete your body of these chemicals, and that is Vitamin D. What is the easiest, most abundant and inexpensive source of vitamin D?

You guessed it… SUNLIGHT!

As soon as you wake up, open up that window and look outside into the world and let all of that light hit your skin and eyes. OBVIOUSLY you should never look at the sun DIRECTLY… but just look outside for about 30 seconds to a minute. Let your body soak up all the sun rays and then notice how you feel.

In just 60 seconds you will feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. It still blows me away every time I do this…

There is a very good reason were supposed to sleep at NIGHT and wake up during the DAY.

On the contrary, have you ever noticed how you feel tired and cranky when you wake up to a dull and rainy day?

That’s because there is no sunlight, which means those “vampire chemicals” stay in your body a lot longer than they should.

So what can you do on rainy days? Take vitamin D pills?

That’s a possibility, but that costs money… tomorrow I will reveal another inexpensive technique that you can use to jump start your day!

Stay tuned… I will talk to you tomorrow.
