The Truth About Saturated Fat

Paul Rogers — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:01:43 +0000

Traditional dietary advice for prevention of heart disease says we should keep our intake of saturated fat low and eat more unsaturated fats like vegetable seed and nut oils and olive oil, which have some saturated fat but are much higher in the polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

Paul Rogers — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 06:36:36 +0000

I’m not a big fan of low-carbohydrate diets, or most other restrictive diets for that matter. For one thing I’ve been doing hard exercise since I was 10 years old and I’m not about to stop anytime soon.

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 [...]

Paul Rogers — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:14:47 +0000

The poor guy. His name is John Cloud and he recently wrote an article called Why Exercise Won’t Make You Thin for TIME magazine. He, and the article, have taken a real battering from fitness industry stalwarts, including me over at my About.com gig: Exercise Won’t Help You Lose Weight – Wrong! But you would [...]

Paul Rogers — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:45:36 +0000

We all know that citrus fruits and pineapple are acid foods: right? Coffee and tea are acid forming: right? Wrong. Much of what you may have read from the alternative health movement over many years is just that. Wrong! Here’s how it works.

Are Antioxidants Finished as Dietary Supplements?

Paul Rogers — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 06:53:44 +0000

Twenty years ago, antioxidant supplements ruled. The famous, now infamous, supplement combination of vitamins A, C and E, was supposed to be a miracle supplement combo that would fight everything from heart disease to cancer. Famous cardiologists started to take vitamin E — and say so — and the whole ACE thing boosted the reputation [...]

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 [...]

Paul Rogers — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 06:56:58 +0000

Yes, I am somewhat proud of the fact that if you do a Google search (at the main google.com site), an article of mine still comes up number 1 for the term fat burning. It’s an article I wrote for About.com Weight Training over 12 months ago. I am surprised at this because Google records about 3.1 [...]
