Published on Jul 9th, 2008 in Health, Weight Loss | 12 Comments »I’ve been noticing an amount of search queries on my site that contain the phrases “get skinny,” “skinny models,” “what exercise can I do to get skinny.” I want to sincerely welcome all of you who typed such queries.
So, why do you want to be “skinny*“?
Will it make you beautiful, popular, safe, in control, happy? [...]

Published on May 7th, 2008 in Weight Loss | 7 Comments »A friend of mine griped the other day about not losing weight despite exercising 4-5 times a week and eating healthier. She acknowledged a loss of inches, but associates success with dropping numbers on the scale.
This is just one of the reasons why I dislike scales and don’t even own one. For those of you who [...]
Published on Mar 24th, 2008 in Cravings, Nutrition, Weight Loss | 5 Comments »Holidays are prime times to eat way more than is necessary with meals that are extremely rich and loaded with calories! It’s fun to visit with family and feast on foods we normally would not allow past our lips, but it’s not fun afterwards when we’re in a food coma and chastising ourselves for [...]

Well, apparently diet friendly fats do exist (unfortunately not in the form of M&Ms)! [...]

I imagine this could be a challenge, what with the state meal (yes, an official state meal!) consisting of [...]
Published on Jan 2nd, 2008 in Fitness, Health, Weight Loss | No Comments »Did you enjoy the holidays? I relaxed a bit, at least where exercising and watching what I eat are concerned.
The problem is, I can get used to this indulgent, “lazy” lifestyle rather quickly, and I find it difficult returning to the more disciplined routine.
I truly enjoy exercising and eating “clean;” I feel more energetic [...]

Memphis, Tennessee
Birmingham, Alabama
San Antonio, Texas
Riverside, California
Detroit, Michigan
Actually, I’m a bit surprised at a couple of states on this list, but that just goes to show that no state is immune to obesity.
About 67% of the U.S. population is overweight or obese, and [...]

This advertisement slogan might have been promoting more than they bargained for, but in a good way!
Calcium, the main mineral in milk, touted for its bone strengthening powers, is also a superhero when it comes to fat loss.
Calcium can help you lose weight and get leaner by:
increasing your metabolism
