I know you mention cooking with coconut oil. I had a fellow bike racer friend of mine suggest getting coconut oil and having a little every day and suggested a book called the Coconut Oil Miracle. I followed the recommendations last summer and my race season was awesome. I got leaner and lighter than ever and did not lose power. I think coconut oil helped. What is your take on adding this to your diet. Perhaps you should try to get the author Bruce Fife on a podcast? Hi Ben.

Chocolate *is* healthy, just not packaged into M&M's or a Snickers bar. Most carob products are not "junk" food, so they will be less tempting for people... But if you can get your hands on a good piece of dark chocolate, just as good! I agree. Chocolate *is* healthy, just not packaged into M&M’s or a Snickers bar.

According to some sources including Prohealth, new research has shown that chocolate is very good for the cardiovascular system both from high quantities of fl avoids and also a compound that creates nitric oxide which is shown to control blood pressure. That's why all the new 70% chocolates are appearing. Instead of just advising people to ditch chocolate for carob, you should address making healthy chocolate choices.

THEY ARE GREAT! One question for you. I was just diagnosed with Mono--YUCK. I used to be in the gym doing cardio and weights nearly every day but now, I have zero energy and have packed on about 10lbs. Its really frustrating because I know that I need to get back in the gym, but just going to work drains me. WHAT CAN/SHOULD I DO??? thanks so much. heidi Hi Ben,
