Last week a reader asked me about some foods he should avoid it he wants to lose weight. He’s seen a lot of conflicting things being marketed about foods and weight loss and was a little confused so he wanted some simple and straightforward answers. This list can be quite large depending upon where you live or what your current eating habits are, but I narrowed this list down to 3. ...

Fat Burning Food Day 9…More Nuts

Today’s fat burning food is one of my favorites…cashews. I l-o-v-e cashews.  Love ‘em, love ‘em, love ‘em.

That’s the key to this fat burning food.  They’re a little calorie dense, as most nuts are, but cashews are a little calorie dense than other nuts. Don’t let the fact that they’re calorie dense deter ...

10 Minute Bodyweight Workout and 4 Minute Abs Workout (Videos)

I just read an interesting, yet silly poll. It said people would rather live near a McDonald’s than a Starbucks. I don’t know whose idea it was to ask such a ridiculous question, but it’s kind of scary.

Personally I wouldn’t want the smell of either place in my neighborhood.  Coffee ...

Fat Burning Foods Day 7

All right, today is day 7 of the fat burning foods.   I can’t believe this is the 8th week of 2009 already. Yikes! Although I’m very excited about getting rid of this damned weather.  Every year I learn to hate winter more and more. Anyway, over the past 7 weeks we’ve gone over a lot of good fat burning foods and just like I said on day one…these foods individually don’t have much of an impact, but when you ...
