The Big Breakfast Diet: A Moderate Low-Carb Diet

Research suggests that dieters eating a high-carbohydrate, high-calorie breakfast as part of a low-carb weight loss plan may lose more weight than those on other diets.

Physical Training for Weight Loss

The methods used in order to lose weight are many, but all must adhere to some basic facts about physiology. Intensity-level is the most important aspect.

Saturday "Smart Swap!": Tuesday or Friday?

It may be a Saturday, but today’s swap involves two other days of the week … well, restaurants with other days of the week in their name.

If you order a BBQ Chicken Wrap at T.G.I. Friday’s you’ll be taking in what many of us allow for an entire day! Over 1,500 … or, 1,540 to be exact.

Switch over to one of my favorite eateries, Ruby Tuesday, and order a grilled chicken wrap for less than a third of the calories … 436 to be exact.

That’s a savings of 1,104 calories! Talk about saving room for dessert!

Could Your Genes Tell You Which Diet is for You?

Tired of wondering which diet is the right one for you? Recent research says your genes may hold the answer!

As Ron Winslow recently reported in The Wall Street Journal, women who were found to have a genetic predisposition toward a low-carb diet lost more than two times as much weight as those who did not have the predisposition, but followed the same diet.

Study participants who were found to have a genetic makeup that favored a low-fat diet lost substantially more weight than women who did not have the same genetic makeup and followed the same low-fat plan.
