Share *If you don’t need to lose weight then feel free to take a day off from me-dot-com. See you on the morrow. Need Vs. Want Okay, I have a suggestion.

Share Less Precious, More Practical Before anyone gets offended and writes me a nasty email regarding the title of this post, don’t bother. The above statement is not an opinion, insult or theory but rather, a statistically accurate reflection of what actually happens in the real world – the one away from the feel-good motivational [...]
Share A Chat About Fat This morning I jumped into my car and switched on the radio. The presenter announced an upcoming interview with an obesity expert. Specifically, an academic who was going to talk about potential strategies and solutions to address the ever-expanding obesity problem facing Australia. ‘Good’, I thought. ‘I’ll stay tuned to hear [...]

With that in mind, today I thought I would equate energy expenditure (calories burned) during exercise with one of the most frequently ordered [...]

I have taken all of the following nutritional information from the Nutella website and interpreted it to make it more understandable and meaningful. The [...]
Share “For most of us, being overweight is not a physical problem but rather, a physical consequence. The problem is our thinking, our choices and our behaviours. The consequence is our body.”
Share Something totally different today.
