Gone Crazy About Food with Leigh Peele
|
|
Written by: Tom_Venuto
Has the whole world gone crazy about food? Before you answer, consider this: Some people think that as long as you eat "clean", you'll lose weight and calories don't matter. Some think that processed foods must be totally forbidden or you'll never lose weight. Some think carbs make you fat. Some think you're a bad person if you eat animals (and you'll die of cancer too). Some people think that if you eat non-organic fruits and vegetables, you'll grow three heads (and die of cancer too). Phew.

5 Tips to Avoid Plateaus and Metabolic Slowdown
|

Written by: Tom_Venuto
Is it possible to not lose body fat because you're eating too little? Yes and no. This gets a little complicated so let me explain both sides. Part one of my answer: I say NO, because if you are in a calorie deficit you WILL lose weight.
Most people have heard anecdotes of the dieter who claims to be eating 800 calories a day or some starvation diet level of intake that is clearly in a deficit and yet is not losing fat. Like the mythical unicorn, such an animal does not exist.

Is Junk Food as Addictive as Heroin?
|
|
Written by: Tom_Venuto
The theory of food addiction is getting tons of press lately. I think it's partly because of popular new books like David Kessler's The End of Overeating, on top of a whole slew of earlier books about sugar addiction. There has also been a lot of hyped-up media reporting on the latest research, with headlines suggesting that "Junk food is as addictive as heroin" or "Hormones turn hungry people into junkies."

Orthorexia And The New Rules of Clean Eating - Part 2
|
|
Written by: Tom_Venuto
In part one, I described the growing obsession many people have with eating only the purest, healthiest foods, aka "clean eating." You'd think that nothing but good would come from that, but some experts today dislike the concept of clean foods because it implies a dichotomy where other foods, by default, are "dirty" or forbidden - as in, you can never, ever eat them again (imagine life without chocolate, or pizza... or beer! you guys).

Written by: Tom_Venuto
Clean eating has no official definition, but it's usually described as avoiding processed foods, chemicals, preservatives and artificial ingredients. Instead, clean eaters choose natural foods, the way they came out of the ground or as close to their natural form as possible. Vegetables, fruits, legumes, 100% whole grains, egg whites, fish, and chicken breast are clean eating staples. Clean eating appears to be a desirable, sensible, even noble goal.

Archive: Why You Should Say No to Diets
|
|
Written by: Rob_Poulos
Fad diets, they all have one thing in common. They're diets. They are like a pair of bell bottom pants. They are in for a couple of years and they're gone. Then they find they're way back just when the fitness professionals know we are ready to eat 'em up again…no pun intended. When you're trying to burn fat, you really should avoid these things like the plague.

"How could you eat that junk? It's so bad for you!" (nag, nag). "Don't you know those fries will give you a heart attack?" (nag, nag).
