Boxers have for many years gone for a run wearing a nylon sweat suit. If they didn’t have a proper sweat suit they would improvise with a plastic garbage bag. The result would be akin to a solar still, that desert survival trick where you use a plastic sheet and the sun to cause condensation to form and provide water. For a boxer this was a great way to instantly shed a few ounces, even a couple of pounds! So why don’t all us fat people take a hike every morning swathed in plastic?

Your body is made up of mostly water, or fluid to be more precise. While some claim anything up to 95% water, you would have to be a jellyfish to qualify for that number. The authority on body water percentages is Arthur Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology. Guyton states “the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 litres, averaging 60 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. Also, obesity decreases the percentage of…

Creeping Obesity or CrOb (pronounced See-ah-ob) is a very real phenomena that most obese people can relate to. When you see someone who is so morbidly obese you wonder how they could ever allow themselves to get that fat, you are most likely looking at a classic case of CrOb. This person didn’t just wake up one morning to find themselves 300lbs overweight. This took time. Time and dedicated hard work!
It’s Caused By Eating Too Much
While there are people who have absolutely no control over their condition and they can point to non-performing thyroids and whatever other medical conditions result in such obesity; the truth of…

If you have been dreaming of beautifully sculpted abs then you need the right exercises to help you realize your dreams. The normal floor-type crunches are just not effective and we all know it. We may not realize that it is because those crunches only exercise two of the twelve core muscles in the abdominal region, but we at least know that they don’t do the trick. That’s because we have all spent literally hours on the floor trying to work our tummies into shape without much success. Oh, the upper abs get a good workout, but those hard to reach lower abs and obliques don’t seem to tighten up much at all.
Crunchless Abs was developed by Linda LaRue,…

Most of us have so much trouble losing weight and keeping it off. We lose a few pounds and gain it back. We lose twenty pounds and gain back twenty-five. Diets seem to be a never ending roller coaster ride and if we don’t do something radical to stop the train we will be on that ride for the rest of our lives.
The problem lies within and if we aren’t able to address it where it begins, we will never be successful at taking weight off and keeping it off over the long haul.
Dr. Brian Alman’s Keep It Off For Life teaches us to retrain our brains so that we can break away from those yo-yo…
