  • Why We Get Fat

    Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it. A follow up to his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue.

    PB2 Review

    Love peanut butter but trying to watch the fat or calories? Is it really possible to get the flavor of peanuts with only 15% of the fat? Sounds too good to be true ... or is it?

Fitness Tip

  • The ratios of your “macros” (carbs, protein, and fat) will affect the results you get from your exercise. The days of “a calorie is a calorie” are over.

    For instance, if you’re trying to shed fat, then you want to limit your carbohydrates (your bodies first source of energy) so that your body will use fat as fuel. But if you’re trying to build muscle, you’ll need to have the energy to strength train (and carbs help with that) and adequate protein which will serve as the building blocks for your muscle growth. So while your calories should change according to your goals, so should your macros, as they all work in tandem.

Fitness Equipment

  • Adjustable Dumbbells - Home Fitness Equipment
    Adjustable Dumbbells

    The Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells are the most important pieces of equipment I own. One set of dumbbells that can range from 2.5 to 52.5 pounds, replacing the need for 15 separate sets. Easy to use. Easy to store.

    If you can only have one piece of equipment, this is the piece to have.

    And with Amazon, you know you'll get a great price and quick shipping!

Testimonials

  • As I reached my mid-40s, a lot of stress, very little exercise, and running too many people to the doctor resulted in lots of fast food. I was feeling tired and run down. Jenny Glenn contacted me about a challenge group and I joined. I took baby steps. Jenny was always there to encourage me and guide me and pick me up when I felt I had failed. I am doing much better. Jenny has continued to always be there for me and encourage me.

  • Vitamix Review: Our Favorite Appliance

    Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
