Does Muscle Weigh More Than Fat?
Here we go again. Another well known nutrition blogger said in his article that “muscle weighs more than fat”. He goes on to explain that since muscle weighs more than fat, you can lose fat, gain muscle, and yet still weight the same. And that by losing fat and gaining muscle, your clothes may fit […]
If “Starvation Mode” is real, why do we recommend fasting?
In my last post, I discuss the body’s adaptation to a consistent, strenuous exercise program in conjunction with a low-calorie diet over the course of time. The body adapts to this stimuli by slowing down the metabolism in an effort to preserve energy. It will work as hard as possible to store fat, even if […]
Visceral Fat Loss: A Guestimation
Yesterday, I took measurements of my client before his workout. Andrew has been a client for quite some time now, and he has been both consistent and very successful with his fitness program. He lost 33 pounds of scale weight and he has gained an estimated 4 to 6 pounds of muscle. All in all, he […]
Success Story: Yalana Getting Her Hot Body
Yalana never did an organized diet and exercise program before she started working with Sharon. Her only form of exercise was walking, and she does a lot of that. She does not own a car so she takes the bus everywhere she goes, and by default she walks more than the average person. In spite of her […]

The purpose of the questionnaire is for a book that the publisher could distribute to people who may be interested in finding a competent fitness professional. I think it is a good project, and I was happy to take the time out […]
“The Biggest Loser”: A Re-examination of the “Set Point” Thoery
It finally happened. A researcher was curious enough to see what happened metabolically to the people who went through the rigorous diet and exercise routines that must be followed on the show “The Biggest Loser” several years later. The results were sobering but unsurprising. The researcher, Kevin D Hall and his colleagues, published their study […]
HIGH FAT DIETS ARE DANGEROUS?
I visited sciencedaily.com yesterday to see what was the latest on diet and exercise, and, unsurprisingly, there was a research study done on rodents that found a low carbohydrate-high fat diet produced more weight, and especially fat weight on overweight and pre-diabetic mice coupled with worsened glucose tolerance and higher insulin levels. This was in contrast to the control group that […]
I Finished My Book
Hi all. My sincerest apologies for not posting for quite some time. I was working diligently on my book Proven Strategies for Cellulite Loss , and it was very time consuming toward the end of the project. I had to learn how to use all of the features of the open office program I was using for […]
