The Snake Diet: Another Fad Diet That Over Promises And Underdelivers

Here we go again. Another diet, another theory, with not much evidence to support it. But it makes sense. American is fatter than ever.

So, let’s talk about the snake diet.

Unlocking Your Basal Metabolic Rate BMR: The Guide To Effectively Planning Your Fitness Journey

As a society, we have become obsessed with metabolism, and how to control it in order to manipulate the calorie burning process. Most of us associate boosting metabolism with losing more weight, and by increasing our energy expenditure, burning more body fat, and increasing lean muscle mass.

does lifting weights make you bulky?

Will You Get Bulky From Lifting Weights And Drinking Protein Shakes?

I don’t want to lift weights because I’ll get too bulky, is like saying I don’t want to go for a swim, because I’ll become Michael Phelps. Just because you lift weights a few days a week, does not mean you’re going to become a bodybuilder. Gaining “bulk” in the traditional sense, is no easy task and requires dedication, consistency, a strict exercise program, religious meal planning, and stick-to-itiveness. Resistance training (lifting weights) is the best form of exercise, to help boost your metabolism, burn body fat, gain strength, and yes gain maybe some muscle mass.
