Fad Diets - #3Category: Body by Becky | Permalink Published: Monday, May 31, 2010 Carbohydrates cause weight gain. This is perhaps the most common fad diet myth. This misconception has been promoted by all the high-protein fad diets on the market (Atkins, etc). Carbohydrates are your body's main source of fuel. Cutting carbohydrates from your diet will, without a doubt, increase your weight loss ten-fold, HOWEVER, the second you decide to re-introduce carbs into your diet, all your months of hard work dieting will be thrown in the trash. Your body basically "forgets" (for lack of a better term) how to break down the carbs, and you will gain all your weight back (and possibly more). The key to eating carbs is to simply eat the "good" (complex) ones and avoid the "bad" (simple) ones. Try replacing your snacks that are high in simple carbohydrates (high sugar: sweets, biscuits, whtie bread/rice, etc.) with simple carbohydrates like fruits, vegetables, whole grain brown rice, etc. If you are dead set on a "low carb" diet, try this: no starchy carbohydrates after lunch (this means no potatoes, rice, chips, etc). Don't completely cuts your carbs, but try eating them earlier in the day to avoid being sluggish and irritable. Jump to Top

Fad Diets - #2Category: Body by Becky | Permalink Published: Monday, May 24, 2010 Another common weight loss myth is that your metabolism is slower at night. I honestly don't know where people come up with this stuff. Your metabolism doesn't slow down at night. This "myth" comes from the fact that most people eat a larger proportion of calories in the evening. As your metabolism is not slower at night, it makes no difference when you eat - it's the overall calories consumed that cause the damage; not the time of day they are eaten.Jump to Top

Should I Rest Between Lifting Sets?Category: Tom's Training Tips | Permalink Published: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 It depends on your goal. If your goal is to get toned, be careful not to sit out for too many seconds. Rest intervals longer than two minutes is too long. Going from move to move with no downtime boots your positive calorie burn. 60 to 90 seconds between sets may be ideal. Jump to Top Other Recent ArticlesMyth #1: Skipping meals helps you lose weight.
