Top 10 Top 10 Lists of All Time
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
With over 80 Top 10 lists under my belt I feel like a Top 10 list pro at this point. I keep doing them because they are a great way to condense a lot of information down to the essentials. And because readers seem to look forward to them.
Putting this list together was tough because there are different ways to measure the popularity of a single blog post. Is it the number of comments on the post? The number of people who have seen the post? Or maybe it’s the buzz the post has created around the net? Needless to say it wasn’t easy and I was sad to see some (in my opinion) great lists not make the top 10.
Hopefully this list will uncover some oldies but goodies that you haven’t seen before.
Contest Giveaway:
GymSoap.com sent me some freebies to give out to readers. All you have to do to get a free bottle is post one of the three best answers (as judged by me and the Worker Bees) to this question:
What would you like to see future “Top 10″ lists cover?
Here are the GymSoap ingredients. What do you think about it, Apples? Marketing hype or a smart way to prevent nasty gym-induced infections?
And now to the Top 10 Top 10 Lists of All Time (in no particular order):
Flame Thrower: Top 10 Natural Ways to Reduce Inflammation
Top 10 Ingredients that Will Make Your Meals Pop
10 Quick Tips to Boost Your Serotonin
Top 10 Dumbest Drugs Ever Invented
I will pass on the Gym Soap hype. Usually I avoid products that have websites touting “As seen on blah blah blah” and it lists a bunch of tv stations. Also, I have no idea what all the chemical named stuff does in it but it looks like a LOT of the “natural” ingredients were added for smell and fragerance. I bet it is a pretty stinky product.
As for top 10 lists that I would like to see:
- Top 10 primal hygeine products (in honor of the gymsoap)Have you taken a look at tom’s of maine products yet?
- Top 10 ways to motivate friends and family to drop the donut
- Top 10 nutrient rich vegetables
- Top 10 low glycemic fruits
- Top 10 incorrect myths about health and fitness
… I am sure I will think of more
My top 10 wish list:
Top 10 Primal Carb substitutions, (I heart spaghetti squash)
Top 10 Primal websites
Top 10 ways that women can build muscle mass. So many sites focus on ways that women can be lean, but “don’t worry ladies, you won’t bulk up!” It’s time for some advice for those hot chicks out there that want some muscle mass!
oooooh…
-”Top 10 reasons to drop your gym membership”
Thanks, Son of Grok. All good ideas! We’ve covered most of those one way or another in the past, but we’ll see if we can address them in some new way in the future. Thanks again and keep ‘em coming!

Great thoughts, Wendy! We want to address the interests of our readers, so getting feedback like this means a lot to us. We’ll be jotting down all suggestions and writing about the best in the future.
Top 10 Ideas for eating healthy while travelling.
Top 10 Ideas for working while travelling.
Top 10 Foods to always have stocked at home.
Top 10 “non-essential” vitamins and minerals.
How about a simple list of the 10 worst foods ever created. Are there 10 creations worse than a twinky? I’m talking about these sorts of scary lab-invented blasphemies.
What a great post! I just got the biggest kick out of re-reading these (as well as reminding myself of some important points/tips). I was particularly happy to be reminded of “10 Ways to De-Stress”- with all that is going on right now (economy, election, upcoming holidays) I was glad to regain insight on de-stressing. I think you should have “Top 10 Top 10″ more often!
Top 10 Ways to Reduce PMS naturally. I know this doesn’t totally apply to the guys but they have wive or mothers.
Also, Top 10 Ways to Get More Fiber on a Low / Moderate Carb Diet - i feel you might have already done this? Like you said, there’s been a lot.
I think the soap is a lot of hype! I’m sure it’s good but it’s so specific that I don’t think it’ll do anything special whether you’re using after you workout or not.
Thanks for the top 10 review!

Ten primal success stories?
No suggestions on top 10 lists, but that Gymsoap stuff does contain the common anti-gross (that’s a scientific designation) chemical triclosan, so it probably does what it says it does in keeping the ick off.
Of course, there’s lots of concern about antibacterial substance abuse. If everybody is using relatively powerful antibacterial agents, eventually the bacteria are no longer killed by it and it becomes worthless. That’s a problem on the larger scale than just you or I worrying about a bit of athlete’s foot.
