By: Sharae Townsend We are brainwashed from seeing in the media everywhere that eating less while dieting makes you skinny. This is a myth. The reason people have such a hard time sticking to their “diets” is because they are not eating enough. You are not getting the proper nutrients needed when you don’t eat enough. By the end of the day after starving yourself you are eating a bag of chips or a box of cookies to feed your cravings. Everyday your body needs greens, protein, carbohydrates, good fat and lots of water. You would be surprised on the amount of food your body needs in one meal especially for a Weldedter. You need to fill your body with good energy and fuel to not allow yourself to crave the bad food. A good way to roughly estimate the amount of protein your body needs on a daily basis...Read more

By: Trent Soares Being active is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle. As we know, America is not getting the daily recommended physical activity needed. It has also been proven that the inactivity starts at a young age. Becoming a father this past year has opened my eyes to responsibility. My view on fitness may be different to others but our ultimate goal is the same, maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So, how do we instill this behavior into our children without pushing them away. Here are some examples that I have come up with to try with my daughter Mahina in the future and also examples that seemed to work for me as a child of a physically active family. If you parents’ have any other techniques or failures, please contact me at [email protected] or leave a comment with your stories. I would love to hear them. Be a Fit Dad...Read more

By: Karen Lilleyman As we all learn in school, the human body is roughly two thirds water and we could not live more than a few days without consuming it. It is clearly a vital part of our workout (and post workout) strategy, but how much should we really be drinking? It seems many of the articles and campaigns urging us to drink more have dubious origins – often sponsored by bottled water manufacturers – and are not always based on sound scientific evidence.

More recently, in an attempt to link intake more directly to individual body requirements, it has been recommended that we take in between a half and a full ounce of water for every 2 pounds of body weight. However even that measurement doesn’t...Read more
