Now onto a story me and my business partner Marc, are both passionate about. Childhood Obesity, the below related post is his titled "How We Can End Childhood Obesity". Childhood obesity is an epidemic all across the world. According to Healthy Communities Healthy Future, the estimated annual health care costs of obesity-related illness are a staggering $190.2 billion or nearly 21% of annual medical spending in the United States. Childhood obesity alone is responsible for $14 billion in direct medical costs. This is all preventable and is not only negatively affecting people's health and quality of living, it is also killing the economy! Obesity is preventable, treatable and curable yet we are headed in the wrong direction. Despite there being 36,180 gyms in the USA (Statista.com) and more information on health...

Discover the Amazing Weight Loss & Health Benefits of Red Tea A common mistake many dieters make is not taking into account what they drink. The truth is, the fluids you consume can have just as big an impact on your waistline – and your health – as the foods you eat. Of course, for dieters who are serious about losing weight, that means no more soda and no more alcohol… But what about green tea and black tea? Are these teas good for you – or can they actually cause you to gain unwanted weight? The answer may surprise you. You see, most people think green tea, in particular, can help you lose weight, not gain it… But that may not necessarily be the case. Several studies have shown that green tea does not affect weight loss. For example, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2009 found that green tea extract did not affect the resting metabolic rate of 12 normal-weight men. Meanwhile, a Cochrane Review of green tea re...

Isometric exercises (commonly just referred to as isometrics) are exercises during which neither the angle of your joints nor the length of your muscles change during contraction. With compound and isolation exercises (exercises where you are moving weights through space), the joint angles and muscle lengths are changing as you execute the concentric and eccentric portions of your repetitions. Isometric exercises are executed in static positions. You may now be asking yourself: How can I train my muscles if I'm not actually moving anything? A very valid question. Let's take a look at the following isometric exercises (you've probably heard of some of these) and the muscles that they train. Common Isometric Exercises Plank  - Muscle Group Trained: Core (Abdominals and Lower Back) Wall Sit  - Muscle Group Trained: Quadriceps Overhead Hold  - Muscle Group Trained: Shoulders Glute Bridge  - Muscle Groups Trained: Glutes and Hamstrings Since y...

Extra skin. You have it. You don’t want it. Me either! After losing 150 plus pounds, I relate. Believe me. Extra skin is not only bothersome, its unsightly. It's frustrating, and it is an inevitability after shedding a good amount of poundage. But there are things you can do to combat it. Not  hocus pocus  type stuff, either. Real science-y stuff - and by science-y I mean I've used it and experimented on myself. So to me, it's real world science at its best. Here is my experience. After losing my weight by eating a low calorie diet and running my face off, I found I had a TON of extra skin. I remember going to the doctor during that time, and him kneading my stomach like a cat stating, “Wow, you could make a lampshade out of this.” His words, not mine. My abdomen could be stretched well away from my body by about 6-8 inches. The inside of my thighs looked like elephant thighs with sagging folds of skin. My bra fat made my back look lumpy and don’t even ...

Are you putting 100% into your diet program, but feel like you’re getting 0 results? Many people find themselves in this pickle. They work hard, hold on to their diet strategy like bulldogs, but fail to see the transformation they wanted. Despite hopes being high, the scale refuses to go downward. What gives? Often, the problem is not effort or motivation. The issue is that they are incorporating certain foods in their diet plan that are actually not diet foods at all. The diet industry is big business, and unfortunately many companies market their products as healthy, even though they are counter-productive options. What are these foods? Here are three problem foods you need to cut from your diet immediately. Fruit Flavored Yogurts Fruit flavored yogurts are a favorite among many dieters, but many fail to see them for what they are: pint-sized sugar bombs. Individual yogurt packs have gotten unhealthier and unhealthier, while their reputation as a go-to diet food ha...
