Fat Loss Foods
What if you could eat as much as you wanted and still lose weight? Well, I recently discovered that I could after reading a book called the Dukan Diet, written by Dr. Pierre Dukan. So what is the catch? Like any diet that works long term, the Dukan severely restricts refined carbohydrates. High protein diets are effective but hard for people to stick to because sugars, starches and fats are hidden in almost everything these days. If you go the unlimited portions route, you must absolutely and rigorously avoid sugars and starch. This means...

By Robyn Littlewood Personal Trainer Desert Spa at the Hotel Villa del Arco, Cabo San Lucas One of the questions most commonly asked of personal trainers is, what exercise will get rid of the fat around my middle?

Not only is it boring to do the same thing over and over again, it is not an effective way to achieve ongoing gains in muscle mass or continued weight loss. Once muscles have learned how to do something, (ie: bench press 100 pounds), they no longer respond by growing to meet the challenge.
