5 Super Bowl Snacks I Won't Be Eating

1. Cookie Dough Dip

2. Velveeta Fudge Squares

3. Jack-In-The-Box's Bacon Milkshake (especially given that there's actually no bacon in it)

4. Buffalo Wing Cupcakes with Blue Cheese Frosting

5. Domino’s Three Cheese Mac-n-Cheese Pasta Bowl

UPDATED: Okay -- one more: Buffalo Wing Soda

An Easy Super Bowl Appetizer

It's Super Bowl Sunday -- a de facto national holiday dedicated to the consumption of insane amounts of deliciously terrible food.



I know it's tempting to just throw a box of DiGiorno's Pizza & Cookies into the oven, but instead of gorging on fast food or some horrible Paula Deen concoction, you may want to consider throwing together some Paleo-friendly bacon avocado "sandwiches" instead:

Caveman QB

I don't give a crap about either the Steelers or the Packers, but I have my reasons for cheering on Aaron Rodgers (and his Green Bay Packers) this Super Bowl Sunday:

• He's a native Northern Californian (from Chico -- Robb Wolf's stomping grounds).
• He played (and was awesome) at Cal.
• He's into the Paleo diet.

Plus, it's easy to root against the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger, who is a douchebag of epic proportions.

Round 2 / Day 77: Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning + Cardio Abs

Two reasons why I skipped X Stretch and dove right into Max Cardio Conditioning this morning;

• I already took a rest day earlier this week when I was down with a cold; and

• I knew I was going to indulge in some serious Super Bowl snacking (e.g., chicken wings, beef skewers, chips, salsa/guacamole, chocolate chip cookies) later in the day, and figured I'd better burn off some calories in advance.

By the way, I hope none of you Colts fans died from heart attacks during the fourth quarter of the game.

The risk is real, cardiologists say, because studies have shown that when a favorite team loses, angry fans can suffer so much stress that the result is sudden cardiac death.

"If you look at a lot of data from a lot of different sports, there is a spectator risk," said Dr. Stephen Siegel, a cardiologist at New York University Langone Medical Center.

The best way to avoid this unhappy consequence is, "don't take it so seriously. Don't get so excited about it," he said. "Enjoy the game, have fun with it, but don't spend your life savings on betting on it and don't have your life invested in the outcome."
