John is an expert contributor to www.efit-today.com and recomends the diet program Eat Stop Eat (www.eatstopeat.com), and believes it is the best new diet for easy and effective weight loss. 3 Foods That Will Boost Your MetabolismA commonly held belief about food is that you need to eat frequent meals to keep your metabolism going and to keep burning calories. I'm not exactly sure where this idea came from but it makes absolutely no sense to me. In fact, to me it sounds like this nonsense about eating food to keep your metabolism going is a clever myth that only supports the food and nutritional supplement industry. How to Get a 6-pack Without Doing CrunchesCrunches are probably the single most misunderstood and abused exercise in the entire fitness industry. Somewhere along the way, people realized that if they squeeze their midsection together they will end up 'feeling it' in their 'abs' and some how they equate this to having a flat stomach or mid section. In the case of doing crunches for a flat stomach and showing off your abs we can just throw logic right out the window. Workout With a PurposeAnything you do in your life that provides a sense of gratitude and is really worth something is usually done with a sense of purpose behind it. Things of little or no value have no purpose behind them and are literally wasted time you can never get back. For example sitting on couch watching an hour of rerun's you've seen before probably has little or no purpose and most likely doesn't give you any sense of gratitude afterwards. 5 Most Common Mistakes That Will Sabotage Your Weight Loss GoalsIf you are trying to lose weight but have been unsuccessful so far, check to see if you are making any of these common mistakes. 1. Eating too Often -- it is a commonly held belief that eating multiple small meals each day is a good way to lose weight. But this only works if the meals are SMALL! If each of these so called 'small meals' start to creep up in calories and start to get larger you are never going to lose any weight. The 2 Golden Rules of Healthy EatingI think it would be safe to assume that most people understand the importance of exercise and eating some sort of healthy diet to maintain their overall health. I highly doubt anyone would argue that eating fast food, junk food, and sitting on the couch is actually the best way to stay healthy. If this is truly the case, then why is it so difficult for people to get in shape and stay in shape? The New Villains in the Battle Against Weight Gain and ObesityAppetite and hunger cravings seem to be one of the new villains in the battle against weight gain and obesity. Nutritional supplement companies, pharmaceutical companies and many new diet books are all targeting these as the primary factors to weight gain. 5 Ab Exercises That are Better Than CrunchesCrunches are an overused and under productive exercise. They present a considerable risk to the health of your lower back and spine and only work a limited range of your core muscles. They never have and never will burn fat off of our 'stomach' or midsection and if you do enough of them will simply cause you to grow bigger and stronger abs muscles without working your lower back and oblique muscles. How Often Can You Do "core Training" Part 1The buzz about working "core" muscles seems like it will never go away. First of all, most people don't even know what the word "core" means. As a matter of fact neither do I! The word 'core' does not come from any scientific anatomy text I have ever read. As far as I can tell it is a term created by the fitness industry to promote all kinds of ab training products. How to Boost Your Metabolism on a DietIn order to lose weight you must eat less calories than you are currently burning off. This simple advice becomes complicated by the commonly held misconception of 'starvation mode'. Is There a Magic Bullet When it Comes to Your Health?Exercise is the closest thing we have to a magic bullet when it comes to personal health and well being. First of all, any amount of exercise above what you are already doing is most likely going to be better for you (unless you are already an elite level athlete and in peak physical condition). Also, exercising is totally free; you don't need to spend one red cent to get all the health promoting benefits of exercise.
