Rapper, actor and entrepreneur 50 Cent is sharing the tools that have helped him achieve peak conditioning with a new book entitled Formula 50, “a six-week workout plan for achieving a ripped body—and developing the mental toughness to stay in shape for a lifetime.” 50 teamed up with Jeff O’Connell who helped create LL Cool J’s Platinum Workout. If the science behind Formula 50 is anything like Platinum Workout, then we are in for a treat!
50 states that his formula focuses on Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT), “where weight lifting meets cardio” along with nutrition, and will lead to a 50% body change in just six weeks along with a 10% loss in body fat, 20% increase in energy, 20% increase in strength and endurance.
Be on the lookout for Formula 50, due out of December 27th!

It has been a few years since I purchased dairy milk but I still drink whey protein – yes, I know that makes little sense but we will save that discussion for a later time. Anyhow, I have tried almond milk, flax milk, and coconut milk but never macadamia milk. I usually prefer my macadamias in cookies and CLIF Bars but I figured why not, Milkadamia’s macadamia milk…sure, I will give it a try!
I received a sample of the original flavor and unsweetened vanilla – both were delicious! I am used to a little aftertaste from dairy-free milks but Milkadamia had no noticeable aftertaste, which is a big positive in my book. Another positive – apparently, Milkadamia takes their products and quality very seriously, opting to have their macadamias tested by the Australian government to ensure Milkadamia is free of animal products and “a range of chemical residues and environmental contaminants…”
If you are like me and you like dairy-free milk but have yet to taste Milkadamia; give it a try, it won’t disappoint!
- Vegan
- Gluten Free
- No noticeable aftertaste
- Zero sugars (unsweetened flavors)
- Excellent dairy-free milk option
- Added sugars (original flavors)
Information from Milkadamia’s website:
Every year, Australian government conducts a survey called ‘National Residue Survey (NRS)‘ that tests various Australian plant and animal products for a range of chemical residues and environmental contaminants, and macadamias are part of this test – we’re proudly one of the partners in forefront that take the clean and green food production standards very seriously.
The results of the latest National Residue Survey (NRS) have just been released, and we’re thrilled to be part of Australia’s macadamia producers that have once again been awarded 100% compliance, marking a 20-year unbroken record of perfect scores! It’s a significant achievement that is unmatched by any other Australian fresh product.
This is just yet another proof that our nuts in milkadamia are fruits of a world-class, restorative farming philosophy that celebrates the radical optimism in transforming how we make food, and how we eat food. Yet another reason to feel good about that smoothie bowl you made with your milkadamia.
Naked Nutrition’s powdered peanut butter — Naked PB — is a great option for folks like me who love peanut butter and cannot be trusted. I love peanut butter. No, really. I love peanut butter. In fact the sweet nectar also know as peanut butter is one of my dieting traps.
This is usually how I end up after I pop the seal on a fresh jar of PB:
I got a chance to try Naked PB for myself. The company is serious about creating products free of junk. According to their website, Naked Nutrition “…strips away all of the marketing and gimmicks that many companies use today. We sell products with only the purest ingredients.”
I could immediately taste the purity. The flavor is very plain and you will need to add your desired flavor. But I can appreciate not having the synthetic ingredients, unlike the vast majority of powdered pb’s and supplements.
You can use Naked PB as a straight substitute for peanut butter by mixing varying amounts of water – small amount to get the consistency of regular peanut butter or toss a scoop or two in a smoothie, shake or foods that you might typically top with peanut butter, like oatmeal.
If you’re on a calorie restriction nutrition plan or just want to looking to take full advantage of a macro driven meal plan, you may want to consider Naked PB to get the full flavor of peanut butter for 1/4 the calories, a low 1.5 grams of fat, and only one ingredient: non-GMO roasted peanuts.
