On March 22nd, 2011, I ended one year of dessert-free, sweet-free, and candy-free living. Twelve months. No added sugar of any kind. Am I somehow a better human being?

Everyone wants to know: What is the best program for weight loss and performance? We tried to answer this question by comparing three programs in our Informal Experiment… and the results were surprising.
“Conan! What is best in life? Also, what is the best warm-up for the bench press!?”

Often, we beat ourselves up because we think we’re not making progress (in all areas of our lives). Yet, the truth is, in almost every case, we’re making tons of progress. We just haven’t tracked it, and so we don’t realize it. PN now has the tool to track and measure your progress.
