Want to lose weight? Exercise. Not into exercising? Well then at least more slowly. If you give your brain a chance to catch up with your mouth, you won’t need as much food to satisfy your hunger. Eating slowly not your thing? Well then for a mere $1500-$3000, you can have a contraption installed in [...]
Recently a UCLA research group did a rigorous analysis of several studies which followed dieters during and after their diets. They concluded that… … most of them would have been better off not going on the diet at all. Their weight would be pretty much the same, and their bodies would not suffer the wear [...]
Gee, what’s that general sense of crappiness that I’m feeling? Could it be…? It is! Pollen season is here!! I checked the pollen count for today. Sure enough, it’s “high-medium” (and spring has barely started). This season is predicted to be New York’s worst in 50 years. Let the good times roll! As soon as [...]
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a recent study has found Chinese-American food to be unhealthy, but it’s worth noting that the results were bad enough to even surprise those performing the study.

This past weekend, I attended the East Coast Alliance fitness convention held at the Marriott Marquis. The number of step classes offered wasn’t as high as in previous years, but I did manage to get a couple of classes in: “Dance Step,” taught by Marc Kluike, and “Step Gone Wild,” taught by Rob Glick. Although [...]

According to Rhonda Byrne, author of “The Secret,” if you really want something and believe it will come to you, then it will come to you. This isn’t just another positive thinking self-help book. This is an insidious pile of bullshit [...]
Now every guy can go from WIMP to PIMP with Big Guns! Do you have big guns? If not, get Big Guns… RIGHT… NOW.
It’s flu season. If you don’t carry around some kind of germ sanitizer with you at all times, you’re risking coming down with something nasty… sometimes by touching something you’d least suspect. According to researchers at the University of Arizona, Shopping carts were loaded with more saliva, bacteria and even fecal matter than escalators, public [...]
