Can practicing Yoga help you lose weight? If you turn to Google, you’ll find plenty of conflicting information.
Although the research doesn’t look too impressive, there are plenty of individual accounts of people seeing their weight improve as they spend more time practicing yoga.
My own experience as a yoga teacher has confirmed this confusing picture. In general, yoga does not make most people slimmer.…
Health is a relationship between you and your body. There is a proverb ”First we make our habits then our habits make us.”
Bad food habits lead to sickness, for which you need to spend a hefty sum of your income on your medical bills. Hence you need to maintain healthy food habits to stay fit.
People say “Eat dinner like a pauper, lunch like a prince and breakfast like a king”.
You need to be conscious about the food you…
I’ve already written a series of articles about top fat burning foods, but I’ve noticed there are some people who are looking specifically for fat burning drinks.
And while my “top fat burning foods” article mentioned a few liquids, this one will talk more about them, as well as bring up many that weren’t mentioned.
Whether you’re looking for new drinks to add to your routine or…
Losing weight is hard. But perhaps it wouldn’t be so hard if it didn’t take so long. Did you ever wonder why it takes so long to lose weight?
I mean, losing weight takes literally forever! After all the hard work I put into it during the week, I can hardly see any change.
I’m sure most people quit their diets and are not able to lose weight because they experience the same thing.
Losing weight just takes very…

Proper nutrition is the foundation of sustainable weight loss. The reality is that if you are not willing to change your eating habits, you will never be skinny.
A very small number of genetically gifted people out there can eat whatever they want and as much as they want without ever gaining weight.
However, for the…
Out of all the diets out there, one diet that is discussed a lot is the 1500 calorie diet.
As the name implies, whoever gets on this diet is supposed to eat 1500 calories a day.
While I don’t have anything in particular against this diet, I think there’s one thing you should know about it: it is not for everyone.
I don’t know who came up with the term “1500 calorie diet” and has given it a title…
At the beginning of a diet it’s easy to behave and stay motivated. There are a million reasons to get on a weight loss diet, and if these reasons are good enough to get you off the couch and into a healthy routine they are generally motivational enough to keep you going at least for a while.
After a certain point, which may be anywhere from three days to three months in, a person is bound to slip and have a bad day when dieting.…
This article is the first in a series of articles about getting rid of fat from certain parts of your body. We will start by going over how to get rid of leg fat.
Like all the articles in this series, the strategy will revolve around 3 things: a good diet, cardio, and resistance training.
Note that while women are the ones who are traditionally most concerned with losing leg fat, this article can be just as helpful to men.

Today, I want to tell you about a universal law of weight loss motivation that has been true since the dawn of man: M = c/t. Here, M stands for motivation.
Then there’s t, which stands for time. Specifically, it refers to how long it’s been since the last time something caused you to really care about losing weight.
It could be seeing an old friend who’s lost so much weight since the last time you saw her that…
What if I were to tell you that there is a way for you to lose weight that is reliable, simple, cost-free, and does not intrude into your busy schedule?
It may sound too good to be true, and yet it’s most likely something you’re already doing on a daily basis, just not as efficiently as you could be.
I am talking, of course, about how to walk to lose weight.
I know what you’re thinking. That’s it? Walking…

Knowing what the top fat burning foods are is extremely important. Contrary to popular belief, not all foods are created equal, and when it comes to weight loss, a calorie is not a calorie.

I can’t believe it’s been 42 days since I started recording my weight loss progress.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to escape the habit gravity as I planned and I’m back to square one in my weight loss journey.
At first, I didn’t feel like writing this update. After all, no one likes to share their failures with the rest of the world.…
I have recently watched a very interesting documentary titled True Life: I Have an Eating Disorder.
The documentary describes the lives of three people who suffer from two of the most common eating disorders: Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia nervosa.
Even though I absolutely enjoyed the documentary, I have realized that what the doctors are calling eating disorders are in reality social disorders.
Doctors are happy…

Insulin is a hormone inside the body that is produced by the pancreas. It controls the level of glucose in the blood and is responsible for signaling to the body whether to burn or store fat.
According to Robert H. Lustig, MD, who’s a professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, newest research shows that some people may be overweight because of a chronic disorder of insulin…
Are you a pleasure eater? Pleasure eaters are those people who eat solely for the sake of pleasure.
Not everyone who eats for pleasure is a pleasure eater. Eating for pleasure every once in a while with friends or family is totally normal.
However, if you have developed a pattern of eating certain foods for fun at least a few times a week and doing so is damaging your life in one way or another, then you are most likely a pleasure…
