You will not find a single mention of super-foods, magical berries, or supplement “must-haves” in the entire book. What you will find is the cold, hard truth about why many Americans are overweight, and what it takes to become a healthy eater. Marcotte writes for the average American – his simple language, matter-of-fact tone, and regular reminders of what the reader has learned, make for a quick and memorable read.  Although it’s clear that Marcotte has carefully distilled his dietary advice from the scientific literature, he refrains from burdening the reader with too many footnotes and references. Instead, he has created ...

According to industry research, the biggest market for these products are people who don't actually exercise, but are attracted to the idea of doing something "healthy."  In other words, they're consuming sports drinks and bars as a substitute for actual exercise. Now that is some magical thinking.  Many of these products do offer proven benefits. They can increase stamina, strength, endurance, and enhance muscle growth.  In my experience, however, susceptible consumers vastly over-estimate the benefits. More importantly, they completely ignore the critical fact that these benefits only occur in the context of a serious training regimen and optimized nutri...

But after a few days of prime vegging-out time, we need to stretch our brain, just like we do our bodies. And we found some great ideas on how to do just that from iVillage. If you’ve scorned yoga in the past, it might be time to reconsider. Regularly practicing yoga and meditating improve cognitive functions, as well as emotional processing, by increasing cortical thickness, which can happen in just eight weeks. Yoga can also positively affect the parts of your brain that deal with stress, sensory awareness, self-awareness, and judgment. Yoga isn’t the only physical activity you can do that will help your br...

Moments ago, Ali became the first female winner ever on NBC’s The Biggest Loser. With a total of 112 pounds dropped in a 6 month period, Ali does not look the teensiest bit like her old self. She now looks fit, healthy and happy as can be. The thing that strikes me most about Ali is her “In It To Win It” attitude. She said she was going to be the first female Biggest Loser, and by golly, she was. That seems to be a key to long-term weight loss. You have to become the person you want to be, instead of just thinking of becoming that person. To do so, of course, takes effort each day, one day at a time.
