How's it going'! This is me your old' pal, Belly Fat. We had a great run this 2019, didn't we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain old' sitting around eating too much. Well, I'm thinking about sticking around another year if you don't mind. But you might need to get a bigger pair of pants, as I was thinking about expanding my place down here. So do me a favor, avoid that interval training you were thinking of doing. The last time you did that stuff, I nearly had to look for a new place to live. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Did you hear me yelling, "Help me, I'm melting!"? Instead, stick to that slow cardio stuff. Sure I get a little sweaty, and the ol' brain up there thinks it's doing "a real fat burning workout", but it's never enough to melt me outta here. Another thing, keep listening to those experts who say strength training doesn't burn body fat. Since research sho...

Hey now, With the Holiday season in full swing here are my thoughts on what's happening around you. Remember if you don't know what happened before you, you don't know what's happening around you. "Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb." - Sir Winston Churchill Sir Winston Churchill was not just known for his years as a  leader he also had a  healthy appetite and a wonderful sense of humor. In most of his quotes, there is a tinge of truth mixed with a bit of that English dry sense of humor. For this reason, they hit you right between the eyes, yet retains a subtle gentleness that does not offend anyone. If you look at this in the context of a good diet, you see how it isn’t something with a beginning...

10 years ago people called me crazy for warning against the dangers of excessive cardio. It doesn't work, I said, and you'll get overuse injuries that can ruin your life. Well, today, not only am I no longer a lone voice in the wilderness, but major newspapers - like the  Wall Street Journal  - are reporting on studies that show excessive cardio harms the heart. According to the WSJ, research in the The British journal, " Heart ", says: Running 20-25 miles or more per week eliminates the benefit of exercise as you grow older and cause's excessive wear-and-tear on the heart. Of course, exercise ADDICTS will ignore dispute this information, and runners will continue to post "I hate Coach Clarence comments, but the #truth about long slow cardio and running is this... 1) You can get better fat burning results in less time 2) Less exercise = less wear-and-tear on the body, including your heart, skeletal muscles, and yo...

"Man does not live by bread alone..." - Matthew 4:4   This may the battle cry of those who insist on dieting. However, without proper planning and a good nutritional guide, a diet is bound to fail and bring down one’s health in the process. Definitely, we should not live to eat, but neither should we live to be a model dress size. There is more to life than how you look and what you eat. When the Bible talks about eating, it is more for the nourishment of the body; and studying is nourishment for the mind. It emphasized both equally, and we should take heed. Dieting is not a bad activity to undertake until we start taking it to the extreme. If that happens, then we’re playing around with our health, and possibly our lives and the people who love us. This may sound trite right now, but regrets usually come too late. Are you willing to take that chance?   How often do we try to fool ourselves by saying we’ll just take small meals, but sneak in junk food in ...
