Why the food pyramid makes me angry
If you read this site often, you'll know I don't like to speak badly of something, or anyone, for that matter, and like to focus on 'how to' and not 'why you can't' types of ideas. Today, however, I've reached the end of my rope with one very common sight around the world - the food pyramid. It takes a lot for me to get worked up about something, but I have been astonished too many times now - at people's beliefs, attitudes and the government's inaction of changing their recommendations so that people can be healthier in their dietary habits. So, it's time to explain why the food pyramid makes me furious, and why I wish I could turn back time and delete it entirely. Continue reading

Why we get fat – finally understanding the process
If you have ever heard someone saying fat loss or fat gain is 'simple thermodynamics - calories in, calories out', or if you have ever heard or read the only way to lose fat is to enter a diet that has a calorie deficit (less calories in than going 'out') then this is critical information you cannot afford to miss.
Everyone should be taught this information in school. This couldn't have come soon enough. It's the missing piece that I had always been looking for, but never found easily. Completing a recent cross-country drive gave me a chance to listen, uninterrupted, to an excellent audio book on the topic, and I have found it revolutionary. Continue reading

Best Foods for Cheat Day
There's been a few questions that have come up about what people eat on cheat days. Though most people go wild, and clear out their closest fast food chains, other people hit some unusual stuff, like delicacies from overseas, or handmade truffle chocolates. I sometimes get the evil eye from Kat when I spoon out a bowlful of natural yogurt and fill it with trail mix, banana, and berries - it doesn't exactly look like a 'cheat meal', but it's packed with carbs, loads of sugar and hits the spot for me. So that begs the question: are there 'best foods' for cheat day, or is everything fair game and equal? Read on to discover things aren't all on the level. Continue reading

Losing fat, to hit certain goals, is, in my opinion, an excellent pursuit. What those goals are, however, is a very personal decision, and can come in many different forms. It depends heavily on lifestyle, and priorities - the goal of losing fat itself generally isn't what's valuable, but what that fat loss will enable, or what it will bring, to your life. Find out how different goals, and different ideas lead to different body fat percentages, and where you see yourself aiming. Continue reading
