Avoid falling into the Fat Trap! Start losing fat and improving your health today by understanding the truth of how we get and stay so fat.
Misinformation on how people get fat and how they should lose that fat is everywhere in the media. It’s even been dubbed the “The Fat Trap” because these faulty strategies like eating low-fat and calorie-restricted diets or doing aerobic training for 150 minutes a week don’t work. In some cases these methods make the poor folks who try them even fatter! What is a well-intentioned, motivated person to do?

This week, a new documentary about the obesity crisis premieres on HBO. It’s called “Weight of the Nation”.

And it’s take-home message is wrong, wrong, wrong.

You’ll be hearing a lot about this documentary, if you haven’t already. And with good reason. It’s the result of an unprecedented collaboration between the three major public-health institutions in America: the nonprofit Institute of Medicine (IOM), and two federal agencies, the CDC (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention) and the NIH (National Institutes of Health).

1. Unmanaged glucose leads to increased triglycerides that either lead to fat accumulation or increased cardiovascular risk.

2. Surplus glucose leads to glycation, which is damage done to protein by overexposure to glucose.

Last Friday, March 30, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejected a petition to ban Bisphenol-A (BPA) in food packaging. BPA is a chemical used to harden plastic and line food cans, and there is  a mountain of evidence that it is toxic for humans and animals. BPA is estrogenic, meaning it mimics the hormone estrogen in the body and binds to estrogen hormone receptors, altering hormonal balance.

Over 100 of you wrote to me to ask my opinion of the latest “Red Meat Will Kill You” scare, a study which was published March 12 in the Archives of Internal Medicine, and gleefully reported by the mainstream media and commented on by just about everyone on both sides of the red meat controversy.

Adequate sleep duration is linked to less belly fat (both visceral and subcutaneous) and a leaner body overall. It’s also essential not to vary the amount of sleep you get from day to day. Catching up on sleep on the weekends or other days after you’ve burned the candle at both ends puts you at greater risk for weight gain. ]]> http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/2012/03/02/sleep-enough-get-more-sleep-and-make-it-a-habit-for-optimal-body-composition.php/feed 0 Ten Reasons Why Runners Should Include Weight Training http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/2012/02/05/ten-reasons-why-runners-should-include-weight-training.php http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/2012/02/05/ten-reasons-why-runners-should-include-weight-training.php#comments Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:32:16 +0000 Administrator http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/?p=342 by Charles Poliquin

If you like to run and have been struggling to increase your mile pace or need a boost in short sprint speed for the final kick, strength training is the answer. Athletes in endurance sports such as swimming, cycling, rowing, or skiing cross-country will also benefit from strength training.

Get the best anabolic response from exercise by performing sprint intervals and heavy strength training. Exercise causes physiological stress, and two common pitfalls of training are putting too much or too little stress on the body because lead to a catabolic, muscle degrading environment. Intense sprint intervals will trigger a cortisol stress hormone response, but if you program your sprints the right way, you can trigger a greater testosterone response and shift the body into an anabolic state. To maximally manipulate the stress response and manage cortisol, do both sprints and a high volume of heavy strength training.

There’s a wealth of emerging evidence that resistance training, especially the kind that includes ground-based exercises such as squats, is better for preventing diabetes and improving insulin health than aerobic training. Additionally, resistance training will produce a leaner body composition and improved cholesterol health. ]]> http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/2011/12/15/avoid-aerobic-training-perform-resistance-training-for-strength-better-body-composition-and-diabetes-prevention.php/feed 0 Top Ten Reasons to Eat Breakfast: It Will Make You a Better, Happier, More Attractive Person http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/2011/12/07/top-ten-reasons-to-eat-breakfast-it-will-make-you-a-better-happier-more-attractive-person.php http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/2011/12/07/top-ten-reasons-to-eat-breakfast-it-will-make-you-a-better-happier-more-attractive-person.php#comments Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:28:57 +0000 Administrator http://extremeconditioning.com/blog/?p=334 6/7/2011 9:55 AM   

 
Breakfast eating is not a new topic for the Poliquin readership, but because it is so very vitally important to every aspect of your success including getting the body you desire, it is time to revisit the issue with a focus on relevant research.
 
I attach so much importance to breakfast that it actually dictates the venues I choose to hold PICP and BioSignature courses. I will only teach where I can have a great breakfast. I go to the point that, for example, when I was teaching in Spain, I hired someone beforehand to bring the right foods to the hotel every morning. Spanish breakfasts are not the most nutritious ones…no wonder they insist on taking a siesta in the afternoon… Read my piece on eating breakfast on the road for some tips on making it a successful start of the day.
