Better Dead Than Fat
As I was growing up, a fat little girl in a family of fat, short women, I always had the feeling that someone was missing. Someone who was supposed to be there and wasn't. I was surrounded by uncles, great uncles, cousins, my brothers, my parents, great aunts, several grandparents and even my great-grandparents. There was an abundance of extended family, but still, somebody was missing.

Resistance Training for Women
Resistance bands are made of strong, thin rubber with handles at the end or just look like a giant elastic band. They can create a greater challenge practically everywhere as they’re extremely portable. They’re inexpensive and there’s a wide variety of full-body workouts you can access.

What Is a Personal Trainer?
When the term 'Personal Trainer' is mentioned, a lot of images are conjured up in the mind. Most involve pushing people to their limits, whilst the trainer is shouting at this poor sweaty person, who looks like they are about to pass out, vomit, or worse, both. But we really aren't like that at all (Unless, of course, you ask us to be!)

Low Self-Esteem and Weight Loss Issues Faced by Modern Women
I think we all know by now that it isn’t easy being “pretty”. It’s even more difficult to understand what being “pretty” means for a woman. A pretty woman is tan, and sometimes as pale as porcelain. She wears a lot of makeup, but you’re not supposed to see it. She has wide hips, a large bust and, most importantly, she is extremely skinny.

Intermittent Fasting
I first discovered intermittent fasting around 20 years ago, although back then I had no idea what it was called, or even that it actually had a name. I simply found that my body was happier if it wasn't being stuffed with food from morning to night.

Best Oils for Heart Health
Over the last two decades, Americans have sharply increased their intake of oils high in polyunsaturated fat–largely due to their "good guy" image in preventing heart disease. But, some heart experts now say we've been pinning our longevity hopes on the wrong fat.

Is Starving Yourself Twice a Week a Bad Idea?
People are always looking to find a way to lose weight, and the most obvious way to drop the pounds is to starve yourself. However, starving yourself isn't necessarily the healthiest way to lose weight. In fact, self-starvation can actually kill you rather quickly.

Living a Plant Based Lifestyle
What IS a Plant Based Lifestyle? Many of the leading nutritional ‘experts’ are now using the term “Plant Based Lifestyle” to define a nutritional way of eating and living. They are migrating away from the term “Vegan” because of the differentiation in nutritional focus. While vegans avoid animal products and foods and advocate for animal rights, a Plant Based Focus is usually concerned with the Health & Wellness of the individual.
