Isn’t that a cool name for a nutritional supplement store?  I sort of expect to walk into a big old warehouse and find workers in overalls putting together body parts.  But NO! The Body Building Factory helps you build your own body.  Pump it up and make it strong and healthy.

What gives?

Well Hubby accused me of not including FATHERS in “her family blog”.  I said, “You go to work and bring home the bacon.  You come home and eat dinner, then go to the gym or for a mountain bike climb.  You mow the lawn then you go to bed. Seriously Muffin, what are you giving me to work with?”  He told me I was not very creative for a creative type and pointed out several topics there.  “the pressure on men to provide for the family”, “changing meal menus to accommodate the high cholesterol fella”, (he said”stud”, I changed it to “fella”), “gym locker room etiquette: put that thing away before you poke somebody’s eye out” “protein powder”, “body building supplements” and “mountain bike training”.

Sure.  Now I have topics but still no content.  Except for protein powder.  I’m a consumer of that, too. I can work with it.  So here’s my protein powder tip.  When preparing your protein meal replacement shake, along with your protein powder and fruit, add a tablespoon of olive oil.  That satisfies your MUFA serving for that meal, as recommended in The Flat Belly Diet.  If you are familiar with Prevention’s The Flat Belly Diet, you know that it is not only the Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acid that is important with each meal but the portion size as well.  One tablespoon is the proper MUFA portion.

There.  A post inspired by Big Daddy.  Do you think he will feel justified?
