Water and Weight Loss
Just eyeballed this study abstract – Drinking Water Is Associated With Weight Loss in Overweight Dieting Women Independent of Diet and Activity – and figured I’d pass it on. Ok, it’s an epidemiological study, so it’s tough to draw a “cause and effect” conclusion here. But we can speculate…what is there about drinking water that might enhance weight loss? Well, for one thing, water may be...
The Spanish Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet
Yeah, it doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it? But that’s what the researchers in this latest study called it… Background Ketogenic diets are an effective healthy way of losing weight since they promote a non-atherogenic lipid profile, lower blood pressure and decrease resistance to insulin with an improvement in blood levels of glucose and insulin.

I had a glass of merlot and a couple of morsels from the cheese tray before dinner, then ate my spinach salad, lobster tail (lemon, no butter), broccolini and half of the small...
So Much for “Expert Advice”
Martica Heaner, the exercise “expert” for msn.com is at it again…this time, she’s putting down the benefits of weight training vs. cardio for weight loss. There’s a lot of confusion about exactly what lifting weights can do for you. One thing is for sure, if you’re trying to lose weight, then doing more cardio activities—such as walking, running or using machines like the elliptical trainer—is the...
Natural Products Expo East
Just got back from an extended trip, which included a visit to the Natural Products Expo East, which was in Boston, MA this year. It was a fortunate location, as Will Brink – whom I work for/with at the “Bodybuilding Revealed” and “Fat Loss Revealed” forums – lives close by. I stayed – and attended the show – with Will and his GF, Kim. A good time was had by all. That’s Will to my...
