Paul Rogers — Mon, 31 May 2010 06:58:59 +0000

Low-carb dieting still has many followers after many years. Some people find it works for weight loss — if they can stick to it for any length of time. Yet the proponents and supporters of low-carbohydrate dieting are always looking for one more angle to boost the somewhat low credibility of low-carb eating among most [...]

I credit Rad over at Eons for alerting me to the specifics of this heart rate recovery test, although I was aware that heart rate recovery research in relation to cardiovascular health had been around for some time, using various medical and fitness treadmill stress tests like the Bruce or Balke protocols. According to the researchers working in this [...]

What You Need to Know About Burning Fat

Paul Rogers — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 06:45:41 +0000

The idea of “fat burning” has become something of a cliché these days. I’m not surprised. It sounds logical that if you want to lose weight you should burn up that body fat that makes you fat . . . right? In a way that’s correct, but what has been grossly misunderstood — even [...]

Don’t Go Belly Up – Control That Waistline

Paul Rogers — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 06:56:29 +0000

A big belly is potentially a health warning — for men and women. True, there may be metabolic types that defy the general health implications of a substantial girth. Some men and women might actually be metabolically normal with a large waistline — especially if they are physically active – but I wouldn’t count on it. [...]

Survival of the Fittest

Paul Rogers — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:27:47 +0000

We all know that exercise and physical activity is good for us: authorities have been belting out the message for decades. Even so, it all gets a little confusing trying to decide how much, what type of exercise, and how to know if you’re doing enough by any measurable parameter. Now it seems we have [...]

Prevention and Management of Diabetes with Lifestyle Change

Paul Rogers — Fri, 08 May 2009 05:55:11 +0000

Diabetes comes in a few different medical configurations. Type 1 Diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes) was once called juvenile diabetes because it appears mostly in childhood or early teens. Insulin, the hormone responsible for storing glucose (blood sugar) and fats, fails completely and has to be replaced by injected insulin. Without insulin, glucose and fat and derivative products [...]

A Low-Fat Mediterranean Diet – Is It Possible?

Paul Rogers — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:35:00 +0000

This may seem like a contradiction in terms for anyone who has been used to the propaganda that the traditional dietitians’ low-fat diet and the traditional Mediterranean diet are poles apart. Frankly, it’s bunkum. In fact, the differences between the early Mediterranean diets of Crete and similar regions, and a well-constructed low-fat diet are not much at all. Here’s what it [...]
