I’ve been reading about the weight loss drug Accomplia (rimonabant) that is already available overseas and was being reviewed for whether or not it would come to the US.
It turns out that’s not going to happen anytime soon. Apparently Accomplia can cause suicidal thoughts in those who take it. Still, many people are buying it […]

It really irks me when I read an article about “health experts” praising Nabisco’s 100-Calorie Packs as a smart choice for a snack. You know, the little tiny Oreo bits or mini Cheez-its. These days they even have Twinkie packs for 100 calories.
Some say that they’re a good way to exercise portion control - the […]

Even though I’m a woman and I don’t build muscle easily, I’m really into weight training. My last gym had a huge array of free weights and weight machines that were at my disposal, and I took advantage of them 3-4 days of the week. However, we recently moved to an apartment in downtown Knoxville, […]

I ran right out to buy Elle magazine as soon as it showed up on newsstands (a few days late here), since Kelly Clarkson was on the cover. No, I’m not a huge fan, but she looked great and her dress on the cover photo was amazing.
Now we know Kelly has struggled with bulimia, and […]

I recently read on Jimmy Moore’s low carb blog, Livin’ La Vida Low Carb, that his wife Christine has joined him on his low carb diet. Well, this last week my fiance Matt has decided to join me also.
He’s on induction right now (less than 20g net carbs a day) and is doing great (except […]

From the title, you probably are thinking of some incredibly rich, spoiled kids whose parents don’t know what to do with them (at least, that’s what I thought!). But apparently around 1 million kids have personal trainers these days. Parents will actually shell out the $40-plus per session so their kids can get in better […]

As a kid, my favorite summer treat was an Icee. I loved all the flavors - especially cherry. It was a tradition of ours to drive down to Weigel’s on a hot summer day and and buy the biggest size for us kids, which we would eat quickly on the way home, giving ourselves brain […]

Everyone probably knows the stats by now - of Americans over 20, 65 percent are overweight and 30 percent are obese. If you’re like me, you’ve probably gotten a little tired of the media going on and on about it, without being able to conclusively find a cause - or a solution.
Many point to the […]
