The Breathalyzer – you probably think it’s just for those who may have a drinking problem. Well, not anymore. There’s a new version of the breathalyzer which is being used (can you believe it) to help with weight loss. The ReeVue Indirect Calorimeter is a device which is used somewhat like a breathalyzer to perform a 10-minute test which checks a person’s metabolic rate and ascertains how many calories that person requires on a daily basis to maintain or lose weight.

Did you know that there is a link between the amount and quality of your sleep and your weight? Actually, the link is between the amount and quality of your sleep and your metabolism, but you probably know that higher metabolism generally means less fat on your body. It has been clinically shown that a lack of sleep affects levels of the hormones leptin and ghrelin, both of which are linked to appetite and eating behavior. When a person is deprived of adequate sleep, that person’s body reduces the production of leptin, which is a hormone responsible for telling...

How many of you like to let your pet sleep in the bed with you?  There’s an old saying, “if you lie down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas.”  Turns out you might get up with more than fleas, try the Bubonic Plague, Chagas Disease, Cat-Scratch Disease, bacterial infections (meningitis), and parasites (hookworms and roundworms).

I just received the following email from Dr. Al Sears, whom I’ve been following for years.  I am a devoted advocate of his PACE Program for fitness.  In this brief email, he gives one of the most understandable descriptions of why we are fat.  It’s worth the few minutes it takes to read.  I truly believe it will help you if you are struggling with weight issues. Coincidentally (or not so coincidentally), Dr. Sears’ advice is very consistent with the information in Tim Ferriss’ new book, 4 Hour Body, which I recently read.  I am currently testing the program...
