Testosterone is often held up as the be all and end all of men’s fitness – and indeed, as far as bodybuilding specifically is concerned, it is.

Excellent article! I am so glad someone took the time and effort to properly define "binge". From the post: The binger often consumes between 5,000 and 15,000 calories in a few hours. Bingers often describe themselves as being completely lost in the feeling of food. Essentially, they lose themselves and their emotions in whatever they’re eating.

This week on the Fitness Minute: Every week on #HealthyLeadership, I will connect leadership to fitness in 60 seconds or less on the Fitness Minute. This week, I showcased the following 3 step process that anyone can use to apply strengths at the gym. In the show I share an example of how many of my heavy set friends start this process by doing leg exercises. Typically, those of us who cary a lot of weight over the years develop very strong legs. Starting their gym experience by focusing on their legs is a great way to show them they are strong.
This builds confidence and motivation!

A new book makes that case that the low-fat obsession has made us less healthy
It's nutrition dogma: saturated fat is bad for you. However, in 2013, a prominent cardiologist argued in BMJ that the long-held advice to reduce saturated fats has actually increased the risk of obesity and heart disease.
Nonetheless, it will take more than a few studies to sway the court of public-health opinion, but for now. Here are 6 astounding facts about saturated fat:

Good information here that many of us forget about. Sometimes it is not about learning something new, it is about remembering what we forget... From the post: Many people believe that if they finish their meals quickly, they might end up eating less. The complete opposite is in fact true! If you try to finish your plate quickly, you tend to get tempted to fill it up again, thus, eating much more. Instead, take your time to chew each morsel well, and take your time to finish your meals. Not only will you eat lesser, but this also aides in better digestion.

Excellent post from Bryan Martinez. This is helpful for students and parents, BTW. From the post: ---------------------------- The healthiest thing around campus was Subway so as much as her and I wanted Subway, what were we going to buy with $4? Nothing. So we would end up going across street from campus to Mcdonald’s to buy two mcchickens and a large soda with no ice. It was my friend’s idea to get a soda with no ice because if there’s no ice there’s more room in the cup for soda and who doesn’t want more soda? haha... ---------------------------- Read the rest of the article for affordable, yet healthy foods that can assist any budget. http://elitegreatness.com/blog/2014/02/03/eating-healthy-on-a-budget/
