I’m so happy with my new Gourmet Nutrition cookbook!
There are so many delicious recipes, but I decided to start with the most important meal of the day - breakfast!
Since I quite like protein smoothies and I usually drink two or three of them a week, I’m always eager to try new recipes.
Gourmet Nutrition has an ENTIRE chapter devoted to smoothies. Some of the combinations are divine … think of raspberry mocha shake, or orange chocolate shake, or Piña Colada shake or even the Blueberry Madness Smoothie!
All the recipes contain the nutritional information including calories, fat content (saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, Omega-3, Omega-6), carbohydrates, fiber, sugars and protein. You even get variations to each recipe just in case you have allergies or if you are not able to locate certain ingredients.

Is your car making you fat? 12 steps to burn more calories during the day even when you drive to and from work
I know this post will cause a bit of a stir because I’m going to tackle obesity and its relation to driving a car.
Before going into studies and details and facts, I’ll use my own example. I grew up on the East Coast and moved in my 20s to the West Coast. When I moved to my newly adopted city, I quickly realized that I would not be able to get around as easily as I did because the transportation system and subway system was just not at par with what I grew up with.

Healthy salad dressing recipes from Dr. John Berardi
Post and recipes presented by Dr. John Berardi, PhD
When most people add sauces and dressings to their food, they’re usually also adding a ton of unwanted sugars, unhealthy fats, and a laundry list of artificial ingredients barely worthy of a sewage pond, let alone their bodies. Sure, the food tastes better. But at what cost?
Well, here at Precision Nutrition, we like great tasting food. However, we also like food that improves our health. So it’s been our mission to create great tasting food that’s also great for us.
Therefore today, I’m going to share with you four awesome “physique friendly” dressings that are not only missing all that crap found in the store-bought varieties, they’re also loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids … you know, all those healthy fats that are good for your heart, for your brain, and for your metabolism.

Is it true that exercise increases your fat-burning rate?
When you look at Dr. Jonny Bowden’s photo, you know that you are looking at a man who practises what he preaches. I’ve known Jonny for two years now and I’ve always been quite impressed with his knowledge of health and nutrition.
The following article from Dr. Jonny might be a good wake-up call for a lot of you who have been putting off exercising:
Post presented by guest health expert Dr. Jonny Bowden
A new fascinating study presented at the American Physiological Society meeting shows that a single bout of exercise can reduce fat by-products inside the muscle, thus affecting insulin sensitivity.

Are you way too busy to think about fitness?
If you are like most women, you are juggling family, after school activities, a career, unpredictable situations and now you are dealing with keeping it all together in this financial meltdown.
With schedules that are bursting at the seam it’s really hard for a lot of women to put themselves first and take time off to take care of their health and manage their weight.
“According to USA Today, 62% of American adults are overweight or obese. In fact, 98% of all dieters gain their weight back… and many gain back more!”
These are some of the startling facts that are preventing so many busy women from achieve their ideal weight. Most people know what they need to do, but it’s a question of getting everything in their lives lined up to actually take the necessary steps forward.

Jonny Bowden’s Diet Boot Camp – eight weeks to a leaner and healthier body
Most Canadians have just finished celebrating Thanksgiving and most Americans still have a few weeks to go until they celebrate this holiday. A few weeks after that we jump into the countdown to a series of Christmas parties and what I call the season of uncontrollable eating and drinking.
A lot of you will simply postpone any weight loss goals until the New Year because what’s the point of trying to lose weight before the holiday season, right? Wrong! What about going into the holiday season looking smashing and getting all heads at the party to swivel when you walk by? What about enjoying the holidays at a healthier weight? What about having more energy during the coming months than you’ve ever had before? And what about getting your 2009 New Year resolution started NOW?

Most women cannot stand the sight of their legs, butts, hips and thighs
It’s safe to say that if you were to ask any woman in any country on this planet which parts of her body she dislikes the most, I’m almost 100% certain that she’ll tell you that she doesn’t feel all that comfortable with their legs, butts, hips and thighs.
The reason why so many women feel uncomfortable with that part of their body is because as you age if you don’t have a regular fitness program that you follow week in week out, your body will change and expend.
