Weight Loss,101

have just finished reading about how not all calories are treated equally another excellent post by my friend James Brausch at the weight loss dude website and I thought I ought to share it with you.

Let me explain before you read Jame’s article … James comes over as very controversial to many people and to some a little arrogant but I have know James now for around 4 years and most everything he has to say he backs up with very sound argument which may fly in the face of the normal conventional view in most peoples eyes.

James is an Internet Marketer and Search Engine Optimization expert whom I much respect for in his choosen field again his methods may be a little unorthodox but they get results.

I expect you will find it hard to agree with James’s way of explaining things ( I did say he was outspoken) but he pretty much leaves you with no way of refuting his findings… So lets look briefly at his latest post and then you can read the rest at his weightloss site weightloss dude .

James states not all calories are made equal and then goes on to explain why .. each human is not a simple machine but a very complex one which behaves differently to any other human so a simple food (calories) in energy (burned calories) out senario makes no sense at all. But this is what many diet experts would have us believe and is constantly used as the yard stick for many very popular and commercially succesful diet plans.

James then proposes an experiement you can carry out to prove that not all calories are created equally … BTW, I don’t suggest you carry out the experiment (you could if you really wanted to) but I would concur with James’s findings and I think you would also?

In a nut shell by carrying out James’s experiment you would prove to yourself that the body treats calories very differently from different sources those being fat,carbohydrate and protein.He even suggest if you were so inclined you could also prove this using mice (not also recommended as your home will soon be over run by them!) this he suggests can be used to disprove any other theories such as biorythms, the phase of the moon and all the other reasons that might explain different results to those predicted.

I am not sure James did the actual mice experiement He may well have done he is a stickler for detail but I

You’ve heard them, every one is keen to give you some simple tips for weight loss or are they just weight loss myths every one believes but have no foundation in truth what so ever you know the kind of things : weight training makes women look like a body builders, exercising on an empty stomach burns more calories, and on an on….

While some fitness myths seem to make sense on the surface, with a closer look many of these stories are simply made up and have been passed on with little or no basis in reality. Today I want to look at just five of the most common things I have been told when speaking to my clients the answers might suprse yo Let’s tackle five of the most common myths and check out the real story behind them.

1. If It doesn’t hurt it isn’t working (No pain, no gain) – With out a doubt this is probably the most common myth out there. That is if you don’t feel pain when you exercise, you’re not doing it right.

The truth is this is total nonsense: exercise the right way should never be painful and professional fitness trainers recommend that you stop your workout at the first sign of pain.

The logic behind “no pain, no gain” makes the assumpton that there is no such thing as a free lunch in other words you can’t expect good results without sacrificing something – twisted ideals at best, downright sadistic and painful at worst. Exercise should be something you enjoy or else you it won’t be very long before you become disillusioned and give up completely. While an intense workout may create some moderate discomfort initially at least , it should never get to the point where you are in actual pain. STOP FIRST!
