Great Visualization of Obesity Data

January 22, 2012

I don’t see how you can view this short video illustrating the obesity epidemic in the U.S. and not want to change something. Yes, I recently reviewed a book called The Great Fat Fraud but really the point of that book was the importance of fitness, as opposed to the dangers of obesity. Yet, you [...]

Carbs

This is a guest post by Debbie Morgan. As we transition into the spring, one thing that is on many people’s minds is losing a few of the pounds that they picked up in the winter months, and getting into “bathing suit shape.” Hopefully, that New Year’s resolution of eating right and going to the [...]

December 11, 2007

December 4, 2007

November 28, 2007

I lived in South Africa for a year when I was ten.  On the way home we first stopped in Australia for a month and I’ll never forget the feeling I got seeing those big American cars driving around Melbourne after a year of not seeing them in South Africa. I felt a little of [...]

The 4-Hour Body?

November 16, 2007

Thinner, bigger, faster, stronger… which 150 pages will you read? Is it possible to: Reach your genetic potential in 6 months? Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours? Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing? Indeed, and much more. This is not just another diet and fitness book. I [...]
