    Is Saturated Fat Actually Bad for You?

    is saturated fat bad for you

    For decades, the overarching advice has been to cut down on saturated fat. This advice is so widespread and engrained into our society that we very infrequently, if ever question it. Indeed, low-fat products overwhelm us at the grocery store and have even infiltrated your local coffee shop, but are they really better for you? This is a topic of extreme controversy. It’s also one of the few topics in the health and medical world that has extremely reputable and knowledgable experts on both side of the argument. As if it isn’t already hard enough to sort through all the …

    Are Eggs Actually Bad for You?

    are eggs bad for you

    No doubt about it, eggs have gotten a bad rap over the last half of the 20th century. This contradicts the known healthy attributes of eggs, and has somewhat overshadowed them. Eggs have went from good for you to bad for you and back. It can definitely be a little bit confusing to keep up with. I personally find eggs delicious. They’re quick and easy to make, and loaded with protein. You might even say that they are the perfect natural snack for those of us who are fitness-minded. For this reason, I wanted to explore these little oval wonders …

    Is it Bad to Eat Before Bed?

    is it bad to eat before bed

    All over the web, you will find so-called fitness “gurus” saying that eating before bed is a bad thing. They say that anything you eat within 3 hours of falling asleep will turn into fat overnight, and you’ll wake up feeling a little more… jolly the next morning. Well, is this a fact? Is there any evidence to support it? Will eating before bed actually cause you to gain weight? Turns out, there actually hasn’t been a single study ever done that specifically sets out to ask and answer this question (as of 2012). In fact, there’s no empirical evidence …

    Here’s 10 Signs and Symptoms You’re Overtraining

    more-tired

    If you spend any amount of time poking around this site, and many other fitness sites for that matter, you’ll quickly learn that exercise is of vital importance when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. I live for it. I believe that I’m better for it and that my readers are too. Indeed, according to the CDC’s National Health Interview Survey, I’m in the minority. They say that only 31% of Americans get sufficient exercise (they quantify this as 30 minutes, 5 times a week). This I’m sure comes as no surprise, we’re constantly being told that we need …

    15 Benefits of Deadlifts

    deadlift benefits

    Perhaps the most feared and revered exercise to take place in the gym, the deadlift is one of only two exercises I deem to be vital if you’re wanting to see big-time gains in strength and size (the other is… you guessed it… the squat). Don’t let the name scare you off from this exercise, it’s only called a deadlift because it’s the closest gym interpretation of lifting a dead weight up off the ground. It’s an extremely functional exercise, meaning any strength gained from doing deadlifts will translate to being better able to do things in every day life …

    how to lose weight in your face

    Admittedly, this is a bit of an odd topic to write about. However, it is a very real concern for some people and I’ve gotten the question more than a few times, so I thought I’d dedicate a whole post to it. Enjoy. It’s the first thing people notice about you when they meet you. There are very few ways to hide it, and you’ve got to live with it. Your face is your first foot forward. It’s no wonder that so many people want to get plastic surgery to make it look like they’ve lost weight in their face. …
