Mississippi Tries To Ban Fat People: Fitness Experts Respond By Launching A New Web Site Designed To Shape Up America

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Fitness and lifestyle experts, Gregg Gillies and Jennifer Nicole Lee launch new web site and reveal what you need to know to lose weight, get in shape and live a health and fitness lifestyle.

The Mississippi State House is proposing a law that would ban restaurants from serving people with a BMI higher than 30.

Banning fat people from restaurants is not the way to deal with obesity, says fitness author and coach Gregg Gillies
Gillies believes three major challenges face people who want to lose weight:

1) Knowing exactly where to find ideas, techniques and strategies that work while avoiding time-consuming trial and error methods.

2) Staying motivated so you can avoid the failure of quick fix solutions and successfully adopt a health and fitness program that lasts a lifetime.

3) Avoiding weight loss lies by understanding how the diet industry works

Here is the truth behind six of the fat loss industries most common lies…

1. Many so-called “health foods” will actually cause you to GAIN fat… such as foods labeled ‘low fat’ that contain lots of calories and sugar.

2. Exercises like sit-ups and crunches are actually the least effective way to lose belly fat… you barely burn any calories doing these exercises.

3. So-called cardio exercise is not the best way to lose fat, and it doesn’t even do much to strengthen your heart… you need to incorporate interval training into your fitness program.

4. Diet pills, fat burner pills and weight loss supplements are a complete waste of your hard earned money…

5. Ab machines will not (Repeat: WILL NOT) give you flat six pack abs…

6. The people on TV who claim to have gotten their six-pack abs from the machines they’re selling are flat out lying to you. They got their gorgeous bodies through real workouts and real nutrition strategies.

Tips for Healthy Eating

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Healthy eating doesn’t need to be boring or tiresome. Flavorful food combinations, fresh cooking ideas and a creative spirit can liven up meals and snacks.

Here is a sampling of tips featured on MayoClinic.com to help individuals eat healthier:

– Experiment with new foods and combinations. Try mango or peach slices on whole wheat toast with a little peanut butter and honey.

– Try something new for breakfast. Munch on leftover vegetable pizza or make a smoothie blended from exotic fruits, low-fat yogurt and a spoonful of wheat germ.

– Add crushed bran cereal or unprocessed wheat bran to baked products, such as meatloaf, breads, muffins, casseroles, cakes and cookies.

– Grill fresh vegetables for a quick and healthy side dish. Cut vegetables into 1/2-inch slices or large chunks and baste with a light salad dressing or brush them with canola or olive oil. Grill until tender, turning only once.

– Take advantage of ready-to-use foods. Fresh bagged salads, frozen vegetables, low-fat deli meats, whole wheat pasta, whole grain breads, and fresh and canned unsweetened fruits take only minutes to prepare.

– For breakfast on the go, munch on dry, ready-to-eat cereal with a banana and drink a small carton of low-fat or skim milk.

Intense, Short Workouts to Help Increase Your Metabolic Rate

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

For a limited time, ShahTraining.com is offering a free fitness training analysis to help people who may have limited time and space, and are unable to hire a full-time personal trainer to help them with their fitness goals. And since this is only a one-time program construction, ShahTraining.com is willing to do it for free.

Sometimes life catches up to you. Career, school or family responsibilities may prevent a person from going to the gym. In effect, your diet and training may lose focus. ShahTraining.com is a website developed and maintained by Parth Shah, a second semester senior at Hofstra University, majoring in International Business. Just like most college students, Parth had gained the so-called freshmen fifteen. But last summer, he was determined to lose all the weight that he had gained. In doing so, Parth has found ways of developing intense and quick workouts with limited equipment and space.
