Weight gain or loss is not only about diet. There are many other crucial factors involved. If this study you have mentioned puts forward one theory there are hundreds or thousands more which talk about the importance of exercise or how physical activity helps expend more energy. What’s importance ...

Your categorization is certainly different and very innovative. Classifying weight loss programs or activities into active and passive habits will surely help set priorities. I for one felt it very difficult to both follow a strict diet plan and do regular exercise. Categorizing my habits into activ...

Walking is the best form exercise for people who don’t like to work out. I hated working out but had to do some form of exercise, so I started with walking and dancing. Doing both proved very useful.

I haven’t touched sugar for the past 6 months and I usually have only small portions, so seconds either. But the problem is the second S – Snacking. Lately I have been going easy on this second S. I usually have a snack or two once every three days. Is it okay, or does this show my lack of commi...

From what I know and what I found on the internet, those looking to build muscles usually add milk. My personal preference is 2% skimmed milk or you can try Soy...

Mind over matter

Thank you for sharing these articles, both offer excellent advice and valuable information. As started in the first article losing weight is more of a lifestyle thing. Most of the weight loss programs fail because people concentrate more on the diet than on changing their lifestyle, like eating smal...
