How to Cure Stabilized Fat Storage Still lugging around an extra 15 pounds or so of fat? Here's a simple, not-too-painful way to get rid of it. Some people have been fighting the same 15 pounds of extra body fat for years. They are no longer gaining weight, and they're certainly not obese. But...

GET LEAN, REVEAL YOUR GAINS Stick with this fitness thing long enough and you'll notice that everything gets recycled. Exercise and diet trends come and go... then come back around again later. It's a lot like fashion. One dietary approach that's found a resurgence in the last few years is...

In a 2020 survey, 24 percent of US adults said they had tried intermittent fasting (IF) for weight loss, making it the most popular “diet” in the US. Judging by the countless headlines on fasting we’ve seen in more recent years, it’s safe to say that percentage has risen. In addition to being...

Have you ever done one of those “juice cleanses” before? Did it work? Probably not… just my guess. I’m also guessing you felt hungry all the time, missed your coffee and whole food meals, felt groggy and tired, and then, whatever “weight” you lost during the 7 day to 3-week cleanse all came...

Anybody who follows me knows I have a love for pizza and donuts. I’m also pretty fond of Mexican food and burgers as well if you want to know. I am a firm believer in ‘lifestyle’ eating that is sustainable. This is how I stay in fairly good condition, not competition shape, year around. But...

Over the past six decades, there has been a noticeable surge in the average weight of American adults. Although it is tempting to attribute this trend to factors like excessive sugar or fat content in our diet, a more fundamental offender emerges from the consumption of larger portion sizes...

By Aadam | If you wanted to be more productive, you would etch out a designated amount of time in your day to commit to doing work. If you just went about your day without a plan, haphazardly doing work here and there, chances are you wouldn’t get much done. Dieting is no different. If you want...

Amongst the countless dieting protocols spoken of and utilized throughout the world of fitness, there is always going to be that one person who likes to be considered just a clean eater. He may not count macros, carb cycle, be on a bulk or a cut, but you bet that he is eating clean! Seriously...

This is What We Call ‘Binge Eating’ At some point in your life, you find yourself shoving enormous amounts of food down your throat: But there’s a problem: binge eating makes us come up with excuses for our behaviors: It can also lead to binge eating disorder: And if you reach that point...

Was Rocky Right After All? Rocky Drinks Raw Eggs. Should You? I don’t remember a lot about the first Rocky movie. Sure, I have some vague recollections about Rocky’s pet turtles, Apollo Creed, and the scene in the ring where Rocky begs Mick to cut his swollen eyelid open so the blood can drain...

And Why Strategies Beat Diets The Problem With The D-Word The thing about “diets” is that they can become a serious burden. If you try to dramatically change everything about your eating at once, you’ll likely fail. So a better goal is to become mentally prepared to eat better at every...

Females will often look for an obscure missing component in their diet rather than zeroing in on the glaring behaviors causing the real problem. Many would rather find out what Dr. Oz's secret fat loss formula is than put a stop to obvious bad food choices. Nah, can't be margarita night, sodas...

NO SUCCULENT DUCKS Most gym rats think of blood sugar only in one-dimensional terms. They realize that if it gets too high, you invoke a big surge of insulin that can preferentially store energy as body fat. Raise it too high, too often, and you turn into a pudgeball. But high blood sugar does...

Beginners trying to lose body fat don't need to follow an advanced fat loss program in order to get results. If you're fat, you're fat, and following an advanced training program won't necessarily speed up the process. All you really need to do is move. The same can be said about newbie...
