Caution:
This sounds like a silly question, but it’s really the most important question you can ask:
“What REALLY makes me increase my bodyfat?”
Is it too many calories? Sure. That’s one part. But I know people who can eat 4-5K calories a day and not add an ounce.
Is it dietary fat? Rarely if ever. (more…)

When I wrote “7 Minute Muscle” and “7 Minute Body” (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought I was doing the muscle-mass crowd a huge favor.
I was right… and I was wrong.
I was right because the 7MM-style training has put serious muscle shape, tone, and size on people from all ages.
I was WRONG because it did more than just add lean muscle:
THIS makes people THINNER…

You may have this gene.
It may be turned “off” right now… in fact it probably is.
There’s a problem with that:
It would be pretty nice to turn that sucker on, right?
Here’s the article on…
1. What SIRT1 is;

3. How to keep it on (more…)
Those of us who work in an office often complain about a lack of activity and how difficult it can be to keep fit yet work at an office job. Whilst it is possible to use a small pedal machine kept under the desk, these do look a bit weird and can be a bit distracting for other employees. I have already covered the best ways to keep fit in an office environment, but what is an effective diet for an office? (more…)

I took a big, huge, massive sigh of relief today.
Finally… the FDA did something right when it comes to bogus “magic” diet-fatburn pills.
A panel of experts reviewed Vivus Inc.’s new wonder-pill “Qnexa” today.
They gave it the thumbs-down.
Why?
Oh… pesky little reported side-effects like… (are you ready for this?)…
Heart Attacks
Stroke
Increased Risk of Suicide (yikes!)
Memory/Concentration Loss
You know… “minor” stuff like that.
GEEZ. What the hell are these drug companies thinking?
Oh, right…
Quick-Fix =
Big-Bucks
Got it.
So, I am going to believe that YOU are much smarter than the morons who tried to get this drug past the FDA. (more…)

Another good article appeared today in the fitness section of MSNBC.
Since you’re busy, I’ll do a quick summary of the article — the good stuff, the bad stuff, and what you need to do today to get started…
First, you need to know this…
And this will probably shock you…
Rarely, if EVER, do you need to suppress your appetite! (more…)

Just in case you missed the news… yep, I’m engaged!
My fiancé’s name is Hanna. She’s from Iraq… Baghdad actually. She grew up there and modeled in Lebanon, taught history, and then moved here 1.5 years go.
To let you know how clueless I was about the Middle East, I thought every woman from Baghdad wore burkas and were forbidden to speak! (I’m kidding… but I was almost THAT clueless!)
Hanna educated me on the reality of Middle Eastern culture, and from there a great friendship turned into a wonderful romance.
We’re soon moving to Texas – I’m excited as both Hanna and I will be training with world-class figure trainer (and bodybuilder) Dave “The Texas Shredder” Gooden. Dave and I met a few weeks ago and I think we’ll be able to push my 46 (nearly 47) year old body to the absolute max. Hanna has just started working out and already she’s finding toned legs and a curvy butt that makes her look even more beautiful than before… and that’s a feat! ; )
You can pick up a free “mystery” book (one of my top-selling e-books!) FREE when you pick up The Every Other Day Diet.
It’s my way of continuing the celebration of my engagement!

One of the most common questions I get asked is:
“What should I eat before my workouts if I want to get rid of bodyfat?”
The answer?
NOTHING. (more…)
(This article was written by guest writer Mike. I have included it because I think he has a good message to get across and he makes some good points. I don’t normally endorse supplements within my sensible slimming advice, but understand that they have a place for many people who are really struggling to lose weight.)
If you too grew up as a child in an environment where meal times were always busy and upsetting, then this sense of stress may still be impacting on your eating habits and weight loss today.
