Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)!

Saturday, February 9, 2013

“Kiss” Calories in, Calories goodbye – it simple can’t explain the complex issue of weight gain (see “Your Trainer May be Making You Fat”). Jonathan Bailor of “The Smarter Science of Slim” has recently posted a fantastic video illustrating why eating more and exercising less may not be working for you.

Your Trainer May Be Making You Fat!

Monday, January 28, 2013

If your trainer has lead you to believe that “it’s all about calories in, and calories out”, it is time for you to find a new trainer.

Weight Gain: Calories in, Calories out?

Thursday, February 24, 2011

So often correlations are made without recognizing exactly what variables affected the outcome. With this in mind, Mr. Taubes examines the following questions in his most recent blog post: “is it the total calories consumed that is the variable determining weight loss?

Mark Sisson – The Primal BluePrint
