You have to cut certain foods while dieting and most of the time it’s the obvious ones like processed sugars, trans fats and fatty proteins. Take a look at some of the foods you eat in a normal day and add up all of the calories as per serving size from the nutritional facts. Now take a look at

the “Fat calories from those foods you eat and calculate the percentage of fat calories to the total calories. This is just a quick and simple way to see what foods you may need to either stop eating or reduce. Your body needs some fat but you can get plenty of fats from the right meats.

Cutting carbs is not healthy. Cutting the right carbs is healthy. Your body need carbohydrates, and you need to know which ones to cut or reduce. Often times people go on these “low carb” or carb cutting diets and they fail. Why? Because they don’t educate themselves on carbohydrates and usually just try to cut any carb they see. Which carbs should you reduce? It’s important to know the difference. You have complex carbohydrates which are the good ones and you have simple carbohydrates, which are the not-so-good ones. I wrote quite a bit about carbohydrates awhile back at Healthandmen.com, now know as Blisstree Men’s Health. Read more

To ensure that your college hoopin one track mind stays up to date, we will gladly provide you with pleasing golden nuggets of wisdom that you can, eh, change the world with. We’ll see.

**Oh, make no mistake about it, Nuss is revved about WSU basketball.

“He bulked up a little last year, but holy crap has he bulked up this year — the guy looks like he ought to be playing tight end tomorrow, not shooting guard in a month. Sheesh.”

**6′11 center from Ghana says he’ll play for Indiana in 09/10.

“Muniru is ranked the 111th best player in his class by rivals.com. He also has offers from Louisville, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, UAB and Auburn, and was being recruited by Kentucky.”

**The first Korean born DI player hopes to qualify for 08/09 eligibility at Maryland.

“The biggest question about Kim is what will Gary do with him? Kim has a great stroke and can stretch defenses with his 3-point shooting ability but he’s also only 180 pounds, so he needs to hit up the weight room in a hurry. Also, Kim was initially suppose to be a 09 commit, but is trying to reclassify for 08.  Does that mean MD will redshirt him, which allows him to get accustomed to Div 1 basketball life, put on some pounds in the weight room, and get in some practice before starting his college career?”

Kim has impressive passing skills but the muscle mass of Shawn Bradley.

**Bench All-Stars.

**Tyler Hansbrough vs. Patrick Patterson, from Ken Pomeroy.

“Here’s what I see.  Hansbrough is taller, heavier, and stronger, and nearly impossible to bully out of his post defense.  With that size comes the fact that he is not quite as quick as Pat, nor do I think he passes quite as well.  I would say that the physical comparison is a wash, or at worst a slight edge to Patrick, with a nod toward his superior athleticism.”

**Not too many guys out there more likeable than Stephen Curry.

“Curry’s unassuming nature is of a piece with the Davidson Way. A college of 1,700 students 23 miles north of Charlotte, Davidson is the kind of place where almost nobody locks their doors, and (shock of shocks) the basketball players take all of their classes with the rest of the undergrads.” ‘”If you had a roster of every student, I probably would know a little something about each one of them,” Curry says. “’After a game we’ll go to the student union and just walk around. Everyone will be talking about the game, and it’s not random people you’ve never seen on campus. You know their names. That’s a special thing.’”

**Brian Butch and Shawn Pruitt couldn’t hold Michael Ruffin’s jockstrap.

Happy Monday
