This question might make you squirm, but let’s ask it anyway…
Are you getting the most out of your workout or wasting your time? It seems like a simple enough question, but let's take a step back and really take a look at your workouts and make sure you are getting the most out of each session. ![]()
Desserts are a delicious and fun part of life. Many family gatherings, parties and functions have amazing desserts to partake of. And what's summer without a scoop of ice cream to beat the heat?
Unless...you start working towards a fat loss goal. Then dessert becomes the enemy that pops up at birthday parties and get-togethers in the forms of cake, cookies, cupcakes and candy, tempting you to give in. ![]() There is something to be said about the power of working out in a group — but what is it about exercising with others that motivates us? We tapped some experts on the topic and learned that when it comes to workouts, there’s some truth to the old adage, “There’s strength in numbers.” ![]()
Tell me if this sounds familiar to you. You put in weeks or months of dedicated, hard work in order to drop a significant number of pounds and fat for a special occasion; maybe a wedding, or party, or swimsuit season. But immediately after the big event is over, the incredibly easy (and frustrating!) reality sets in. Without your big event to motivate you, the pounds you worked so hard to lose are slowly creeping back on.

Our kids are eating too much junk. And who can blame them? Junk food tastes great, and it is readily available everywhere. (Don't have kids? You can still keep reading because this goes for most adults as well ?)
The good news is that healthy food can also tastes great, we just need to help our kids realize that. ![]()
When it comes to being healthy, there are two habits that will define your success; eating and exercise. In fact, everyone that you know who is in great shape has dialed in these two important habits.
If you aren’t happy with your body, it's time to think about gradually making some adjustments to your eating and exercise habits. ![]()
According to popular statistics, only 8% of New Year’s Resolutions are successfully kept. This means that 92% of us that are brave enough to set out for self-improvement will fail.
Those aren’t very good odds. Thankfully there is science that explains this curious “Snap-Back Effect” and offers us tools to make the effect work in our favor. ![]() Keeping your body hydrated should not be an afterthought, or something you randomly choose to do. If you want to live a healthy lifestyle, or have any weight loss or fitness goals, hydration is that "magic pill" you have been searching for and should be the first thing you look to correct. It's one of the easiest things you do to speed up your health goals, less painful than any workout and quicker than healthy meal prep. ![]() Looking for a way to increase your endurance during workouts? We have the answer, and no. It’s not a new supplement or a hit of caffeine. It’s not even proper nutrition and rest. Nope. According to a new study, the way to increase strength and stamina during your sweat session is to swear while you’re doing it. ![]() The United States will not be escaping the obesity epidemic crisis anytime soon: Nearly 40% of adults and 19% of youth are obese, the highest rate the country has ever seen in all adults, according to research released Friday by the National Center for Health Statistics. Why wait until January 1? ![]() It happens to the best of us, especially at the end of summer. All of that hard work that you did to get in "Summer Swimsuit Shape" has faded into the past after countless vacations, cook outs, and weddings. Those celebratory indulgences have added up over an entire summer, and you're left wondering where your summer body has decided to vacation. But then your self dialogue to get back on track may start to sound a lot like: “I’m just so busy, but when things start to wind down, I’ll get started.” Or, “the holidays are almost here, and the end of the year is only a few months away, so I’ll really get going on my weight loss in the New Year.” However, you don't need to wait for the New Year to start on your fitness goals; In fact, it would be better if you didn't! ![]() It happens to the best of us. A moment in your life when you realize that you’ve let yourself go, and you need to get back on track. The next thought after this realization is to immediately go on a diet and start a strict new workout regimen. But as quickly as this thought enters your mind, so does the doubt of many failed attempts in the past. The final thought in this sequence is despair as you wonder, "why bother?" This diet is going to fail, just like past diets have, leaving you discouraged yet again. It’s time to leave this viscous cycle behind. The best way to do this is to change your thinking, and never diet again! That’s right. The best way to create a lasting change in your health is to promise yourself, right now, that you will never go on another diet…EVER! ![]() On May 27, 2016, the FDA published the final rules for the new Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods to reflect new scientific information, including the link between diet and chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease. The new label will make it easier for consumers to make better informed food choices. Added sugar is hiding in 74% of packaged foods![]() We tend to think that added sugar is mainly found in desserts like cookies and cakes, but it's also found in many savory and foods, such as bread and pasta sauce. And some foods promoted as "natural" or "healthy", claiming "Whole Grains", "Real Fruit" and "No High-Frusctose Corn Syrup"are laden with added sugars, compounding the confusion. ![]() A few small changes to your habits can mean big results...if you actually take the steps, and time, to make them. Trying to lose weight by going on a crash diet is like walking into a gunfight with a sharp stick. You might make a little dent, but in the end, you'll do yourself more harm than good. |
