Exercise in a Pill???

Prescriptive Fitness — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:11:11 +0000

Hard to believe but apparently researchers have discovered a new hormone that is produced as a result of exercise. The hormone, Irisin, reportedly helps change white fat into the more beneficial, metabolism boosting brown fat and may make the body more sensitive to glucose, which is important with regards to diabetes.

Excited? Sound too good to be true? Well, much more research needs to be done and there is no way a pill will never replace the benefits of true exercise!

Calorie Counting not an exact science

Prescriptive Fitness — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:58:17 +0000

Calorie counting is certainly not an exact science (unless you make your own food and use proper portion sizes), especially when many Americans eat the vast majority of their meals outside of the home. The bottom line is that you have very little control over variations in restaurant portion size and ingredient discretion of the chef/cook. Even if you use a diet log app, you are bound to end up with numbers that just don’t add up correctly (unless the restaurant is a chain with over 20 locations and is standardized with regard to ingredients and portion size).

So if you eat out at restaurants often and you are using a diet app, choose the highest caloric values for the foods that you have to choose from or else suffer the frustration and confusion of not losing weight when the numbers just don’t add up! (ex: mashed Potatoes at a fancy restaurant are exponentially higher in fat and calories than mashed potatoes that you make from scratch using healthy ingredients at home!)
