All Calories are Not Created Equal

Calorie counting. Just reading those two words probably made your face wrinkle up a bit with discontent. Who the heck has time in their day to calculate how many calories are in each meal they consume, let alone their total caloric intake for a day, week, month, etc.? Besides, calories aren't the real problem anyway, right? Um...not exactly....

Skinny Models Are a Turn-Off to Consumers

Crack the Fat Loss Code

Learning how to "outsmart your metabolism" and "conquer the diet plateau" seems to be a run-of-the-mill promise amongst diet books.

The Single Most Important Factor in Sticking with Exercise...

Ab Gadgets: Are There Any Good ones?

Exercise Equipment For Kids - A Worrying Trend?

Would Banning Fast Food Ads Make Kids Thinner?

Burger KingThe Burger King, Ronald McDonald and the Taco Bell dog. Their commercials make us laugh, tell a friend, search for them on YouTube, but most importantly, buy what they're selling. But a new study shows fast food advertising has played a big role in the tripling of childhood obesity, between 1970 and 1999, and a ban on fast food...

Vegetarian vs Vegan vs Raw: Which is Best?

When we talk about a "diet", we often mean a weight-loss regime. Many people who are perfectly happy with their weight are on "diets", though, which aren't intended to limit total food intake but to exclude certain types of food. ...

Girth of a Nation: The Top 10 Healthiest Cities

An estimated one in three adults living in the U.S. are overweight or obese. How did this come to be? It's probably due to the cumulative effect of many factors (eg. poor diet, inactivity, lack of sleep, stress), rather than one, isolated problem. So which states are helping or hurting our efforts to reduce the girth of our nation?...

Calories on Fast Food Menus: Should it Become Law?

Autumn's Super Foods...

Flickr: webgirlpipThe fall can be a real bummer. Days get shorter and the weather gets colder. If it wasn't for football, I'd go mental! Now if you're jonesing for the fruits of summer. Remember, autumn ushers in a bounty of delicious fall vegetables. ...
