Controversial Report on Diets

I truly believe that nutrition is the biggest, by far, component of a good fat loss program.I know, there are too many diets, but I believe some of them work. Why can’t the experts agree on just one nutrition program?”Well, first, let me say that I believe diets DO work, and that there are so many of them because we all have such different personalities and likes and dislikes for foods, that it really shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that a bunch of different diets can work.That said, I’m not a huge fan of extreme diets. I don’t think you have to restrict yourself of carbohydrates. After all, that’s never going to work if you’ve been raised to eat an apple and a banana everyday.To tell someone they need to stop eating fruit to lose fat is ridiculous. Almost all foods can be incorporated into a healthy fat loss plan.So I’m about to give you my preferred nutrition plan. It’s not extreme. It’s not crazy. It’s not about denying you any healthy foods. You can eat meat, carbohydrates, and healthy fats on this program.It’s really all about eating whole, natural foods. In fact, I sometimes joke that my plan […]

America’s Children Are Dying To Lose Weight

window.document.getElementById(’post-148′).parentNode.className += ‘ adhesive_post’;Wasting away, Katie died weighing only 58 pounds. And she was sixteen. That just doesn’t seem possible to me when I look at my seven-year-old daughter who weighs in at about 55 pounds. Anorexia is a medical enigma. Although there is little concrete evidence of what actually causes anorexia, most experts agree that there are several contributing risk factors. We believe that awareness of these risk factors can reduce the odds that they will be triggered so we are hopeful that this information will save lives. If you’re a parent or a teacher, you need to read on0
Word has it around town that Katie had been told by a high school teacher that “she needed to go on a diet.” So she did. Certainly this one comment didn’t cause this young lady to spin out of control with dieting but it might have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. Negative comments about body type and size from authority figures, teachers, coaches and parents, can have a big impact on an adolescent child’s self-esteem and are implicated as possible triggers in studies on anorexia. Never underestimate the power of the spoken word to heal0 or kill0

The Art of Mountain Walking

Effective mountain walking may mean relearning how to walk, and includes the correct technique reinforced by experience. There are several techniques which may be used, but they all have the same goal. Safe movement over difficult terrain, with the least expenditure of energy to arrive at a destination in good condition. Let’s go over a few of the principles to be borne in mind.You should centre your weight directly over your feet at all times (whenever practically possible). Place you foot flat on the ground to obtain as much sole-ground contact as possible. Place your foot on the uphill side of grass tussocks and other level spots to avoid twisting the ankle and straining the achilles tendon ( something to be avoided in my personal experience, achilles injuries are very painfull and can take weeks to heal). You should rest between steps by straightening the knee after each step. Take small steps at a slow pace. Try to avoid steep angles of ascent or descent, taking advantage of any indentation in the ground.When in a group a tempo (number of steps a minute) should be set according to the pace at which the group is moving. Since physical differences will […]
