3 Foods That Will Boost Your Metabolism
John Barban
A 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. The latest fad in nutrition is eating 6 small meals per day instead of 3. That is 3 more meals the food industry can sell you products for! It won't be long until you will be told to eat 9 small meals per day. . . . keep reading

How To Get A 6-Pack Without Doing Crunches
John Barban
Crunches 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. Trainers and many people who know better still ignore the most basic principles of anatomy and physiology all in the quest for a flat stomach. . . . keep reading

Coffee, Energy and Extra Fat
Holly Rigsby
Coffee: The Busy Mom's Energy Drink of Choice The Coffee habit is hard to break for many moms who are in search of the energy boosts needed to start the day and keep the day going. Unfortunately this habit becomes one obstacle in the quest to lose the fat and get your body back. The extra calories from sugar and fat quickly add up to stall any fat loss efforts. I have spent many a morning and afternoon in my Favorite coffee shop, Starbucks.

Holly Rigsby
I'd like you to think ahead to your plans once your children do go back to school. There are a few things worth considering.

Do Crunches Hurt Your Neck?
Craig Ballantyne
There's a guy at the gym where I workout that has the worst, most "spastic" form of anyone I've ever watched exercise. He does these weird swinging arm curls, the jerkiest pullups in the world, and worst of all "neck crunches" (that are supposed to be ab crunches - I think?). You have to wonder how this guys neck isn't killing him every night after his workouts. His form is brutal. Not that he'd really be getting that much benefit from perfect crunches anyways. After all, he does about 50 of these neck-nods in a row. And most people can do 20, 30, or more crunches in a row. But why would anyone expect to get results from doing the same thing 50 times in a row? . . . keep reading
