Let me start out this article with some news that may shock you.
Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease.
I know this may be hard to believe after all you’ve heard about the dangers of high cholesterol from doctors and the media.
But the truth is, it’s not high cholesterol levels alone or the cholesterol containing foods that are the guilty party in heart disease, it’s a combination of those foods and any other thing that causes inflammation in your body that is the major cause of heart disease.

If you try to make significant changes in your lifestyle within a very short period of time you will likely end up frustrated and disappointed with your weight loss efforts.
In this article I will take you beyond the world of strict diets and body killing exercise routines!
The first tip has to do with your mind, how you think.

By now, you probably realize that adding lean muscle mass to your body does wonders for your metabolism and fat loss, as well as a host of other benefits that allow you to live out your life as healthy as possible.
Unfortunately, most people I see performing weight training or resistance training at the gym are spending too much time with the exercise and not working hard enough. They’re not going to burn very much fat this way.

uestion. I’ve seen quite a few diet books lately that are based on the color of the foods you eat, including the rainbow diet, the color diet and the "color code" (sounds like the Da Vinci code, LOL!)
Anyway, I’ve been reading your newsletters for a long time and I know how you feel about diet pills, books and gimmicks and I was wondering what you thought about these programs. Is this color coded diet thing just another gimmick?

People often think they are doing themselves a healthy favor by switching from white bread to whole wheat bread. Although this can be a better option than white, whole wheat bread may actually be preventing you from losing unwanted weight.
I’m not a big fan of bread or bread type products. Actually, I think most people would feel a thousand times better if they stopped eating so much bread every day. Toast for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, big bread basket at dinner…we could feed a small village with the amount of bread I see some people consuming in one day.

Watching television can make you fat. And not just because it’s a sedentary activity, but because the information most commercials are dishing out about food are misleading and confusing.
I contend that TV brainwashes you to like fattening foods. That’s one of the reasons why I avoid it. Most people who know me, know I’m not a TV watcher.

Clearly, we have an obesity problem in America and many other countries across our planet. Yet, I propose that we do not have a weight loss problem today. In case you’re confused at this apparent contradiction, consider these statistics:
According to a study from Oxford University published in the International Journal of Obesity, within 3 to 5 years, about 80 percent of all ‘weight losers’ have regained the lost weight, and often gained back a little extra.
According to research by the National Weight Control Registry, that relapse rate may be as high as 95 percent.

Exercise is an important part of our lives. Staying in shape is one way to increase your life expectancy. Weight bearing exercises are important for increasing muscle mass and bone density as you age.
Most of us have learned what to do when it comes to exercising. The problem is where and when to get the job done. With a busy lifestyle, making time for exercise is a challenge.
Weight bearing exercises aren’t just for bodybuilders. As you age, especially once you hit the age of forty, you begin to lose muscle mass. For women especially, bone loss becomes a problem. When the body is in need of calcium it starts robbing it from your bones. Building muscle not only increases their mass but your strength as well.
