Listropolis' Take:

We expected this to be a list of the most popular weight-management tools, but in true Lifehacker style, they introduced us to three tools we hadn't heard of. If you're looking to lose weight, this list is a must-read. Do yourself a favor and find one of the tools that works for you, and stick with it. Our favorite, Daily Burn, didn't make the list, but that doesn't take away from the greatness of the five listed.

Man Laws: 8 Situations to Shut Up or Squeal

Posted on 11 December 2008 by admin

We've all been stuck in situations that we didn't know how to handle best. Hell, they even made a Twix commercial about it.

Here are 8 situations (guys only) with answers whether you should "Shut Up," or "Squeal."

1. A friend is really bad at his job, and it's obvious he'll be fired.
Man Code: SQUEAL. A good friend would tell him, "Dude, I'm hearing things. You'd better talk to the boss." An okay guy deserves a heads-up.

From zenhabits:

Stress is a major problem for many people — a hectic, stressful job, a chaotic home life, bills to worry about, and bad habits such as unhealthy eating, drinking and smoking can lead to a mountain of stress.

I won’t guarantee that all of these will work for you. They worked for me, but each person is different. Pick and choose the ones that will work best for you, and give them a try. One at a time.

6 Questions to Ask Yourself to Get the Most Out of Life

Posted on 02 September 2008 by admin

Zen Habits | Simple Productivity

From ZenHabits:

I love reading lists of things to do before you die, but after reading several of these lists, I’ve realized that each list is a very personal thing. It can only apply to the writer of the list, and not to all human beings in general. No such list can do that.

And think about this: if you’re trying to follow a list of things to do before you die … trying to check things off the list, just to say you’ve done it … what’s the point, really? To be able to tell people you’ve done it? To follow the life prescription of some writer?

I won’t try to tell you what to do before you die … but I will suggest some questions to figure out how to live … right now. Each and every day.

Because you never know how much time you have left, and trying to cram a list of things into that unknown time can be futile. Instead, live every day to the fullest. Get the most out of life.

5 Real-World Solutions to Lose Weight

Posted on 06 August 2008 by admin


You want to drop big weight? Forget about it. No, really - that's the crucial tip. Put the end goal out of the picture and narrow your focus to the day at hand. Bob Harper, a trainer on the NBC TV show The Biggest Loser, says, "Ask yourself, did I get my workout in today? Did I make the right food choices? Then go through it again tomorrow, always with an eye on improving."

Here are Harper's top five real-world solutions. Becoming fat is a piece of cake. Slimming down is not.

#1.
Get over gym-timidation.

The muscleheads at the squat rack aren't judging you. "If they see someone out of shape trying their hardest to change, they'll do what they can to help you," says Harper. So ask for a spot, or even some guidance. Just because those guys are ripped doesn't mean they don't struggle with diets and exercise plans.

#2.
Fight through the pain.

Your neglected body won't be able to do what it once could. Start slowly and remember that post-exercise soreness means you're making progress. Use this as motivation to put the past into your present. "You'll see just how far you've let yourself go, but you'll know what you're eventually capable of," Harper says. Continue Reading

19 Things a Man Should Never Do

Posted on 05 August 2008 by admin

stock.xchng - Stumble and Fall (stock photo by bjearwicke)


It's pretty clear, us guys get away with a ton of crap. We can sit on a couch, sans t-shirt, drinking a beer, yelling incessantly at a football game, and it's considered "normal." We can usually walk up to a tree, drop trough, and urinate without a second notice. But, there are definitely things we as men should avoid. Here 19 things all men should put on their "To-Don't" list.

#1. Check your BlackBerry in bed.
To a woman, that's like having a threesome with your boss.

#2. Ask for a kiss.
Her eyes will say yes or no, and nothing kills the mood like asking for a translation.

#3. Wear low-rise jeans.
So what if David Beckham flashes his hash in every other men's magazine? It's important to have some sack, not show it. Continue Reading
