by Joe Pietaro
What almost seems like a formality at this point, the IFBB has officially removed the scoring in regards to the posing round in both men and women’s bodybuilding. What was once a major part of a competitor’s presentation, posing is even less than the afterthought that it had become [...]

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
|
|
Guest
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).

Orthorexia and The New Rules of Clean Eating - Part 1
|
|
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.

|

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).

Written by: Isabel_DeLosRios
Is my Diet Coke making me FAT? In my practice as a nutritionist and personal trainer, new clients are always coming to me telling me they are doing everything they are "supposed" to be doing, but still, do not lose weight. Of course, this is frustrating. Losing weight is hard enough, and to change your eating habits and still see no results, that’s even more frustrating.

Most people believe that calories are the "enemy", since eating excess calories leads to excess fat, right? That's why most people believe that the fastest way to lose weight is to cut way back on calories each day.

Today we continue with our special motivation and fitness psychology article series with some serious information about what some experts believe is the #1 cause of obesity in the world: Emotional eating. But what is emotional eating really? Quite simply, you may be eating for reasons other than satisfying physical hunger, providing energy, supporting your metabolism and feeding your muscles, too often, and it may indeed be keeping you overweight.
