We now live in a world wherein speed is the key to become successful. This is a fast paced world where the saying "you snooze you lose" is a reality. This is the age of information technology.

Is anyone else confused by all of the weight loss, fat burning, ab workout programs that are being sold on the internet? As a former college athlete I was accustomed to being in shape, but I admittedly let myself slip over the past couple of years and gained some stomach fat. I still had some of the diets and workout regiments that we used in college, but they were all designed to build muscle and maintain lean muscle mass (not burn excess fat on a middle aged male). Regardless of wha... more...

Going hungry is not the answer to losing fat! This sets you up to fail before you even start because you need superhuman motivation to keep calories low, you yearn for the banned foods, but the worst part is that nagging hunger. Who wants to live like that? Forget the supposed common sense that diets don't work because people don't follow them. Many of us have had the experience of following a diet to the letter and ending up heavier. So if eating less is not the answer, th... more...

Many fad diets promise to help you lose 5 lbs. in a week and most of us have tried these diets just because of those claims. We are desperate to take off the weight and the ability to lose 5 lbs. in a week or less would be a huge accomplishment. Of course, we always gain that 5 lbs. right back or we would not be sitting here looking for tips to once again lose 5 lbs. in a week. It does not help if you watch shows like the Biggest Loser where men and women take off pounds in the double di... more...

Did you know that the gluteus maximus is the largest of all of the muscles? Basically speaking, this muscle is commonly known as the butt, rear, back end, etc. Isnt it funny that although this muscle is the biggest of all it is the one that is the most noticed as you make your way down the street? It is every persons dream to have a tight and lifted backside no matter how long it takes! To a certain number of people it is an uphill battle because it is this part of the body that stores... more...

It isn't anything more than another top level monetization strategy against the people of the United States. The privatization and 'for profit' medical system is more than likely the most corrupt wing of the enemy we've learned to love called politics... Don't let that scare you though - if you are overweight and you become seriously ill, hopefully you are insured - and even then hopefully your insurance company doesn't make your claim out to be 'experimental&#... more...

While there are many different approaches to fat burning, not all of them are equal. Some machines develop muscle strength while others give you a good cardio workout. The key to fat burning is to make the heart pump harder and burn as many calories as you can. This means that you must use every possible muscle in the body in order to get the job done. You can join aerobics, do jumping jacks, or any number of things but theres a new way that is not only good as a fat burner its a... more...

But I hate exercise, you say. Are the pants fitting tighter than usual, so the pooch is hanging over the waistband?

Many people don't realize this but there is a basic attitude for losing weight: This weight loss attitude is to use more calories than you consume. One of the easiest ways to do that is simply to eat less at least of certain foods and/or exercise more. And, it's true, that is fundamentally what all diets amount to. But to achieve natural weight loss requires a little more. In particular, it often requires a change in attitude. Your weight loss attitude alone won't change th... more...

Resistance is NOT futile! When it comes to changing your body for the better quickly and permanently, nothing comes close to good old-fashioned weight training. The shape of your body is determined by three things: muscle, bone and fat. While there's really nothing you can do about changing your bone structure, there is a whole lot you can do about muscle and fat. This ratio of muscle to fat is commonly known as your body composition. And what is the fastest way to change your... more...

Many rumors circulating your weight lifting circles are just that, rumors.

It is important to know why we get fat. Once you know the underlying reasons behind fat gain, you can take that information and apply it to fat loss. Knowing why something happens is the first step towards changing the result. The one major reason we get fat is that we put in more than we burn off. This may be an overly simplistic view but it's also a very liberating one. It shows you that if fat gain is not that complicated, fat loss is not necessarily that complicated either. more...
