Bingeing at Night: A Hormonal Habit?

A recent article in the NY Times reviewed a scientific article in the December issue of the  International Journal of Obesity that reinforced what many fitness and wellness professionals suspected: that nighttime binge eating may be more than habitual; it may be hormonal. The article suggested that obese people who binge eat – not all do, one mightRead More

Not Again: Don’t Count Calories, but Calories Count

Weight management and weight loss (and, by association, weight gain) are two peas in a pod…but only eat one of them! I have written on this topic so many times in opinion pieces and in scientific reviews that I’m reluctant to do so again. But this most recent article in the NY Times has inspired meRead More

Now hear this: Intermittent Fasting Works IFFFF…

The latest ‘fad’ diet plan making the news today is ‘intermittent fasting’. This entails any one or combination of restricted eating not by food quality or quantity but by timing. That is, there are various versions of this program that in some form or fashion restrict when you can eat. Hence, intermittent = every soRead More

Another Theory on Why Some Folks Are Obese?

Happy New Year! It’s that time of year when, again, so many of us promise that we’re going to shed excess weight by eating righter or better or less – nah, nobody actually commits to the latter – and exercise more. As a gym owner, you might think I would be one of those who’dRead More

When Food Diversity Isn’t the Answer

There are nearly as many diets for weight loss in the media and at the country club, let alone at the gym, as there are people needing to lose weight. Likewise, there are nearly as many diets everywhere you see people who otherwise look or are lean. But science keeps trying to find that oneRead More

Fitbits Don’t Make You Fit

To the dismay of many purchasers and users of fitness trackers like Fitbit and other popular brands such as your iPhone, having this very cool, high-tech capability does not in and of itself help you get fit. They don’t even help you lose weight. In fact, they may lull you into a sense that youRead More

Which Comes First – the Excess Weight or a Dysfunctional Immune System?

There is a fairly new and widely-believed current of thought that many lifestyle diseases – heart, metabolic, cancers, even obesity itself – are related to if not caused by excess inflammation. And inflammation is a challenge to the immune system which is supposed to fight it. But what if immune system dysfunction causes obesity orRead More
