Misconceptions Abound: Strength, Fatloss, Skills, and Progression
by EricT 04 Jul 2009 21:25
This page is a blog page. That means that I am not going to provide a bunch of scholarly references at the end. I am not going to do a week of research to prepare. I might have done a little cross checking but these pages are meant to be informal reactions, opinions..me drawing on my experience, etc. And HOPEFULLY, to stimulate discussion of ANY kind.

Diet Alone, Exercise Alone, Or Both For Fatloss?
by EricT 14 Mar 2010 19:51
The age old question. And it seems to spark absolute outrage on all sides. Which is "better" for fatloss? Diet alone, exercise alone, or a combination of diet and exercise intervention?
Most people involved with helping the very overweight or obese lose weight will tell you that if you have to choose one then diet alone is the way to go.

Self Control: Not all its Cracked Up To Be
by EricT 01 Sep 2010 15:44
More and more, everyone is learning that "diets" don't work. Sure, people drop weight on diets but they fail to make a lasting change. I don't need to go into this, you know all about yo-yo dieting. Despite this there are still plenty of judgmental folks (who probably wouldn't know a problem if it bit them in the tuchus) who will say stuff like, "jeez, what ever happened to old fashioned self-control?"

The Magical Farce of Negative Calories, The Thermic Effect, and Resting Energy Expenditure
by EricT 10 May 2012 21:17
Turning over a new leaf, just for this post, at least, I decided to actually write about fat loss. People who read my articles regularly know that I do not hand out weight loss advice. But a fun subject, and one a knowledgeable feller like myself can tackle, is the "negative calorie" claim that has surfaced through the years. The thing about this claim is that it can seem logical at first glance, to someone with no in-depth knowledge of nutrition, and at the heart of it, there is a kernel of truth. For those without knowledge and those who wish to cash in on that market, a kernel of truth is all that is needed.
