When it comes to fat loss while maintaining or building muscle, is there such a thing as a perfect diet plan? If so, is it possible that the bodybuilding-style diet, which has been around since at least the 1990s and probably long before that is still the best fat loss diet, despite countless other diets being available today? If so, why? If not what are the downsides of bodybuilding diets? If "it depends," what does it depend on?...
You've probably heard that 10000 steps a day is a good goal. It shows that you're active, not sedentary and hitting that number decreases your risk of health problems and an early death. But recently, there's been some skepticism over the 10000 steps target. Some say it's a marketing gimmick for fitness tracker companies. Let's take a closer look, and see what the science says...
Everyone knows that the minute you finish lifting you need to slam a post-workout shake with fast acting whey protein and high glycemic index carbs with low fat so that you don’t miss out on the window of opportunity for muscle gains, right? Wrong.
Metabolic damage, starvation mode, metabolic slowdown in middle age, stoking metabolism with more frequent meals, build muscle to boost your metabolism and burn more fat.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been promoted as a time-efficient way of doing cardio. Advocates of HIIT often claim that HIIT is superior to moderate intensity steady-state training (MISS) for fat loss. However, whether HIIT produces more total fat loss over time has not been confirmed in long-term research that measured body composition. A new meta-analysis reviewing 54 different studies has now finally answered the question, which is better, "slow and steady or hard and fast"...
Almost everyone agrees that too much added sugar is not good for our health or our waistlines. Almost everyone also agrees that a little bit of occasional sugar is fairly harmless. Most people would consider those two points common sense. Yet for years, there's been no consensus about what is a little sugar and what is excessive sugar. Fortunately, a close look at the most recent scientific research, combined with a little common sense gives us some pretty solid guidelines, which you can see in this blog post
We need to stop, cancel, end, retire, terminate, and kill dead several diet words and phrases right now and not carry them into one more year. Why? Because it may be hurting people in ways you might not imagine at first until you analyze the meaning and the consequences on our psychology. At the minimum, these words cause confusion
If you asked the average casual exerciser, someone who doesn't lift for a living, or have unlimited free time, but has a tough job or kids or a busy schedule, most would tell you the holidays are like a mine field of temptations, distractions and obstacles blocking their path to a lean and healthy body.
