I’ve wrote about this before and even took shots at the idea one has to keep a food log to lose weight. While I think it is a good idea, I also think it is easy to eyeball the food one eats all the time and stay on the straight and narrow [path]. Well lets talk [...] Have you ever worked yourself into a rut? I mean do you find yourself doing the same aerobic and strength building exercises day in and day out? There is always the danger of an extended plateau! Well I have been trying to vary my routine more this year out of the box. I have found that I [...] Have you had weight-loss and fitness on your mind? Made a New Years resolution to join a gym to take off the inches? Spent hundreds on your down payment to slip into your bikini by Spring break? Well if you are like many Americans and have a garage, you probably have everything you need to get [...] Welcome to the new decade (2010)! I saw an encouraging report here, that stated that while Americans have not gotten skinnier, we have leveled off of the increasing obesity! That is good news! Starting my third year of recent fitness aspirations, I have high hopes to continue what was successful last year – weight loss! If [...] One of the tools in the boxing/kick-boxing gym is the speed bag. Fighters have used the speed bag but other watching it on the Rocky movies, many people might not understand what it is and why one would want to use it (the speed bag). My workouts and over all fitness plan is going well! I’ve [...] I was thinking today on my run that I have been thinner longer than I have been fatter. How come my body image is of a fat man rather than a thin man? I mean if I start thinking that I am too thin – won’t that kick-off a eating binge? It was the weirdest thing [...] I remember as a young man watching a MacDonald’s commercial about how you could still feed a family of 10 for about $10! I was amazed by this but sure enough a hamburger, small fries and a small coke cost under $1. When I left home at age 17, I ended up living on tips (I was a [...] When I was younger and my metabolism was seemingly supercharged, I did not ponder differences between appetite and hunger! They were the same in my teens and early twenties. I was an active boy/man and ate until I was full. I also had the habit of wolfing down my food and since I always cleaned my [...] I am no different than anyone else that has had weight issues since high school. I used to be a quite active fellow that participated in all kinds of sports including scuba diving, hang gliding, rock hopping, and even karate! As many know that read this blog, karate has been my lifetime love as well [...] Last month I was inducted into the Kenpo International Hall of Fame in Chicago, IL. For those of you who do not know, karate is and has been my first love most of my life. Here is a link to that story on my other blog. Let me just say it was quite an honor [...] I was scourging the Internet today and noticed a NPR article entitled, “Hotel Maids Challenge the Placebo Effect” that caught my attention. The article is in reference to a study by Harvard psychologists, Ellen Langer and Alia Crum entitled, “Mind-Set Matters: Exercise and the Placebo Effect.” I do not like articles like this that do not have [...] We here at LeanAnMean scourge the ends of the earth to find the latest fitness craze for your benefit! I was looking at CNN the other day and was surprised to find a “Pole Dancing Health Minute” video. I don’t know about you but I had always associated pole dancing with exotic dancing at clubs. [...] While perusing the internet I found this study published by the New England Journal of Medicine! The study at first seemed promising as it compared low-fat, Mediterranean and low-carb diets. As I read the abstract I started getting confused. Methods In this 2-year trial, we randomly assigned 322 moderately obese subjects (mean age, 52 [...] I am happy to report that my weight loss is on track again after a couple month period of a plateau! Yes plateaus happen when one is trying to lose the weight. When you find yourself wondering what is going on and if it is not going to work – I’m going down the block [...] Historically I would have to say most people don’t stick with their New Year’s resolutions but why? When it comes to weight-loss… you did not gain the weight overnight so when you resolve to take it off by the bikini season… is that realistic? The folks at diet.com did a nice narrative about the top five reasons [...] |
