Guest Post: You're a Skinny B*****

Today is my birthday. I decided to celebrate by asking fat loss and nutrition expert Dr. Chris Mohr to do a guest post for this blog. He agreed. The topic, of course, is fat loss.

You see, if you have ever completed a successful fat loss program, you have much to be proud of. Your friends and family, on the other hand, do not always agree. For whatever reason, people do not know the difference between being in shape and being sickly and deathly thin or having an eating disorder.

If you have ever completed a fat loss program and made an amazing physical transformation, I guarantee you know what I am talking about. People say things like:

"You're too thin!"
"Eat something!"
"What you are doing isn't healthy."
"You need to stop. You have a problem."

Two clients of mine in particular have relayed this message to me. Both of them took their body fat percentages from over 20 to around 10 and while doing so, they had continued to make strength gains in the weight room. Unhealthy and dangerous? I think not. Let's allow Dr. Chris Mohr to weigh in on this issue.

The Twinkie Diet is Awesome for Weight Loss

I've written about nutrition before but also know that I am by no means a nutrition expert, but I wanted to comment on something that just came out. Apparently there is this new article on some pseudo- diet study performed by a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University who wanted to show that calorie counting was the only important factor in weight loss. Basically he ate a bunch of Twinkies. The article can be found here. Before I go into detail of why this case study is meaningless, I just want to say one thing. "Really?"

I couldn't think of anything healthier either

Post-workout Nutrition

Hello everyone. I just wanted to share with you a FREE special report that Prograde Nutrition is giving away entitled "What to NEVER Eat After You Workout."

Post-workout nutrition is critical to the success of any training program regardless if the goal is to burn fat or put on muscle mass. Two things are important regarding post-workout nutrition, the timing and the composition. You already know that when you train, your body's resources are depleted. What you may not know is that when you are done training, your body actually continues to break down muscle protein! But it doesn't have to be that way!!!

This boosts obesity by 171%

I am coming down to writing the final few chapters of my book. Unfortunately for me, these chapters will be the hardest to write because they are on nutrition. Nutrition is not my number 1 field of study, so I have to spend a lot of time researching. Luckily, I have plenty of sources. One person's blog that I like to read regularly is Chris Mohr's. There is a ton of information there that is valuable. Recently he had a post on one factor that boosts obesity by 171%!
