Weight loss can be very frustrating and confusing and unless you have the right information about how your body actually works losing weight can turn into an exercise in frustration.
Overweight people eat more than thin people. It’s simply not true! In fact, some studies have shown that lean people, as a group, tend to eat more than fat people. They stay slim because of a more efficient metabolism, that is, they’re more active.

Okay this nutrition info is actually a REALLY helpful feature the boys and girls at Google have added to their search results.
Making the right choices when it comes to food and nutrition is really hard and most of time very confusing. If we all would be honest we would admit that most of the time our decision is reduced to guessing. And it turns out that guessing about nutrition is not a particularly successful strategy.

“What’s your favorite time of the day to head for the gym?” Truth is just after the mid-day lunch crew and just before the afternoon heavy lifters show up.
As you can see from the image on the right showing up at 1 to 1:30 has its advantages, as in the gym is pretty much open and I can move about and complete a full workout in a lot less time and A LOT less “gym talk.”
Of course I don’t have anything against “gym talk” it’s just that it can add quite a bit of time to a workout.

Free radicals are a big reason why we all get old and develop degenerative diseases. First, let’s take a look at how free radicals work.[1]
Scientists are in general agreement that most age-related cell damage is caused by free radicals–especially those involving the oxygen molecule.
First identified in 1956, free radicals are unbalanced molecules that bounce around and harm stable body cells. They are a natural by-product of breathing and metabolism, but their production is greatly increased by the body’s exposure to pesticides, hydrocarbons, radiation, smoking, fried foods, coffee, alcohol and even exercise, when done to excess.

If you’re you trying to lose weight you have probably seen a ton of calorie counters. And because of all the calorie calculators available people naturally think there is a simple and easy to use carb calculator. This logic may lead you to ask the question, “What are the EXACT number of carbs a person needs to eat.”
