Yesterday I read another article that took the position of excess calories not CAUSING weight gain. Instead, the authors argued that somehow sick/diseased/altered body fat caused us to overeat, thus causing body fat. Their theory put the blame on insulin and carbs (excess insulin MAKES your fat sick).While I have concerns over this line of thinking that I’ll share in a different post, the main question that swirled in my head was “If so many people have issues with eating carbohydrates, then why can I eat carbs?”The easy answer to this question would be the ‘snowflake’ defense – That I’m a unique little snowflake, special in this world. I have some sort of rare unique ability to process carbohydrates…  But that’s not a probable answer.I, like most of us, am average. Sure, we all have areas in life where we excel, but physiologically speaking I’m not gifted by any means, but I do eat carbs… lots of them

When I was in my twenties, I was a big fan of ‘cheat days’. Every Sunday my roommate and I would order twin large ‘meat lovers’ pizzas, and eat them while watching hockey.We’d follow this up with ice cream and those amazing Homestyle two-bite brownies that come in that brown paper package, all while drinking two chocolate Myoplex protein shakes.At first, eating this amount of food was VERY difficult, but after a couple of months we became used to it, and eventually we added in a foot long subway sandwich with extra meat as our ‘premeal’.Truthfully, this was a lot of food for me to eat in one day. I know there are true big eaters out there who probably scoff at the fact that we SPLIT Twin large pizzas, (since they could probably eat both on their own) but that’s the point I’m getting at…I am NOT a big eater – not by any means.

January 13, 2014 | By Dr. Sara Solomon Recruit Your Glutes:Today’s 20-minute metabolism boosting HIIT workout strengthens your GLUTES!  I purposely selected exercises to help you learn how to RECRUIT YOUR GLUTES (one butt cheek at a time).Many people cannot activate their gluteal muscles. Rather, they compensate with their quads and hamstrings. To make matters worse, we spend the majority of our time sitting, which further exacerbates “lazy glute-itis” … I just made that term up.
