A girl wants to be beautiful; a boy desires to be strong, with a nice-looking physique. These are natural desires-they are ranked at the top of the list as highly valued possessions by youth themselves. Providing that no pathologic condition is involved, a strong physique can be obtained in a comparatively short period of time.

How Often Should You Eat?
As long as caloric requirements are met and the diet is balanced, there is nothing terribly wrong with three meals per day. On the other hand, mare frequent small meals (4-6 per day) may reduce feelings of hunger and prevent binge eating. Another argument favoring more frequent meals is the fact that food itself stimulates basal metabolism in most individuals.
Weight Loss and Fast Food
I love the country from which I’m from, but we have to many fast food joints and restaurants, no one eats home cooked meals anymore. It makes it so hard to make good healthy meals for yourself when you pass by a million places in a row on one street and you can smell the food!
Pregnancy and Weight Gain
Having a baby is a wonderful event that should not be hindered too much by worrying about weight gain, although it is a good idea to keep it in check and not gain too many extra fat pounds. Some weight gain during pregnancy is, of course, perfectly normal. But there are things you can do to keep from gaining too much.
The History of the Low Carbohydrate Diet
The low carbohydrate diet represents a revolutionary principle of weight control in the sense that anything which attacks an entrenched regime is revolutionary. And the rule of the calorie count, in modern dietetic thinking, is certainly entrenched. So much so, that the most difficult thing you must do in order to benefit from the low carbohydrate diet is to put yourself through a certain amount of mental readjustment before you even begin to adjust your menu.
Calorie myths we should all stop believing
Many people think weight loss is simply about cutting calories. They believe that to lose weight, you must reduce calories (either eat less or burn more), to gain weight you must add calories, and to maintain weight you keep calories constant. To these folks, calories in, calories out is the only thing that matters. They usually oppose the Primal Blueprint because they assume that we “deny” the importance of calories in weight loss.
