The Fat Burner Eating Plan is about using food to lose fat and one of the most important ways to do that is to eat often.

Looking to rebuild a healthy metabolism?
Look no further than strength training.
Muscle tissue in both men and women deteriorates at almost every stage of life. Strength training is the key to building and replacing that muscle.
Many people don’t realize that muscle is the “driving force behind your fat burning mechanism – your metabolism.
The equation is simple: The more toned muscle tissue you possess, the more efficiently your body will burn fat and the more of it you will continue to burn over time. [Read more…]
And yet, there can be as many as 200-2,000 of these little powerhouses inside each one of your cells each one responding to the metabolic signals that you give them…or don’t give them…whatever the case may be. [Read more…]
Breakfast means “break the fast” after sleeping and without a doubt, most nutritionists believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
After all, how can you expect your body to work and think at peak performance when you have not given it any fuel? How do you expect to avoid that mid-morning slump? [Read more…]
Cellulite can be defined as fat cells that have accumulated under the top layer of skin squeezed between connective tissue (and collagen) that attaches your muscle to your skin. Both thin and overweight people complain about cellulite.
Even though cellulite is a form of fat tissue there is a difference between it and the type of fat that insulates the body and protects the organs, muscles and nerves. Cellulite provides no cushion or padding and only occurs in certain areas of the body like the buttocks, abdomen, thighs and breasts. [Read more…]
Your six pack (or two pack or four pack) is a group of four sets of muscles with tongue twisting names; rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus, external obliques and the internal obliques.
These muscle groups are positioned on the front and sides of your torso and are attached to bony surfaces on the rib cage and the pelvis.
The deepest of the abdominal muscles are the transverse abdominus. They provide stability to the core of the body by wrapping around the trunk holding all of your insides “inside.” These are the muscles that provide you with a tight, flat, tummy.
The internal and external oblique muscles run diagonally across the torso so you can rotate and move at different angles following the paths that the muscle fibers run in. [Read more…]
It’s time to become a smart consumer. Many people are not aware that “natural” and “organic” are not exchangeable terms and navigating these new marketing terms can be very confusing.
Because of the booming popularity of natural and organic products, the US government has taken increasing steps to regulate the use of the terms organic and natural. Sales of organic products are expected to at least double in the next 4 years.
The National Organic Program officially began back in 2002 and anything that is currently labeled with an organic certification has met the criteria/standard that was set back then. [Read more…]
The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased at alarming rates and is without a doubt, one of the most serious public health issues confronting us in the 21st Century according to the World Health Organization.
The truth is, eating habits are formed very early in life and can directly affect how healthy we are as we age. Most children have developed their basic eating habits by the time they reach elementary school, unfortunately for many, these are not good eating habits. [Read more…]
Human bodies are amazing machines…when they are functioning properly.
The body functions best when in a state of “homeostasis”….when it is in a state of balance.
When our body weight is normal, our health is good, we are mentally happy and exercising regularly our bodies are in a state of metabolic balance allowing our hormonal systems to function at peak performance which in turn keeps us healthy, our weight stable and disease at bay.
Any disruption such as becoming overweight rattles the hormone balance in the body and ends up perpetuating a vicious cycle of weight loss and gain. [Read more…]
In order to lose fat properly there is only one method that has proven to work reliably and consistently and that one involves a lifestyle shift to healthy eating and proper exercise.
Unfortunately, this pits most of us up against our impatient and lazy natures. We want immediate gratification without having to put much effort into achieving it.
The issue with this type of thinking is that we get back exactly what we put in. Energy in…energy out. It is a very ordered and balanced system. Little energy in…little results out. Pretty simple formula. [Read more…]
