I have to say after coming from my weight watchers meeting tonight I am pumped. Not only did I lose 3.2lbs this week (thank you very much) but I went food shopping afterwards. I decided to go to Trader Joe's because lets face it my budget is about to change. I just quit my job. So I decided to stop shopping at "Whole Paycheck" (formerly known as Whole Foods). I will be sobbing in my pillow tonight..So I am in Trader Joe's (my new favorite supermarket) and someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn around and its this woman who was just in my meeting. She says hi to me. I look in her cart and she has these mini chocolate meringue cookies. She tells me that they are only 2 points for 13 of them. Are you freaking kidding me? Holy mother of Spumoni (my favorite Italian dessert) there is a god! So I ask her where they are as I am standing in line ready to check out. She hands me hers and then goes and gets herself another package of them. Talk about random acts of kindness! She is my new BFF n
Obesity results in decreased fatty acid oxidation rates in muscle tissue. Weight loss alone does not correct impaired muscle fatty acid oxidation. But exercise training begins to increase muscle fatty acid oxidation in as little as 10 days.
Those beginning an exercise program can expect better weight loss results over the long term than those relying on diet [...]
FRIDAY WRAP UP! Dead To Me have recently announced a ton of tour dates including a US outing in March, an appearance at Bamboozle Left and a European run with Millencolin. The venue for the Fat Tour 2008 show in Missoula is now posted here. We had to push back the release date of Jerry to March 4th, sorry. The Loved Ones tour is going great and here’s an update from the road. You can also listen to a live radio interview with the band on Monday night (Feb. 18th) from 10-12pm EST on WXPN in Philadelphia’s Noise Complaint Radio. Listen online here or to XPN’s HD2 Channel at 88.5 but you need an HD radio for this one. Lastly, maybe our bands should get one of these. I hope Eddie’s not the pilot!
If you're fat, these are the top reason that you are fat and likely to stay that way!
You’re Lazy. Plain and simple. The thought of exercising just makes you want another 200 calorie soda.
Your job rules your life. Whether you’re a full-time mom or a business executive, you probably don’t have time to eat healthy.
You have too much free time to spend eating. If you did more things rather than watch TV or sit at the computer chatting on facebook, maybe you could lose weight
You work from home and have a house full of goodies. The temptation is all around you. Doritos in the cabinet, cookies in the jar, ice cream in the freezer. Forget salad!
You eat anger/depression away. You can’t help but hate the world, your job, your car, your kids, your friends, your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. Why not have another Oreo?
Your friends are fat and they drag you down. They eat out a lot, they
I love how today scientists finally discovered that diet soda makes you fat. This made headlines. Duh!!!! Are we really just finding this out? C'mon.For years the big food companies have been making us fat, hiding information about what causes obesity. I believe that artificial chemicals are not the way to go fatty. Drinking a gallon of diet soda a day is disgusting and probably will kill you instantly. So the next time someone offers you a glass of liquid love handles smack'em with your pimp hand.But hey in my current state of fatness what do I know? I think congress should show them the hand, and make it illegal for these fat bastards to use the word diet. BTW I lost 9lbs so far in Weight Watchers without the use of these so called diet elixirs. Who's your daddy?
So a recent study shows that as little as 1 can of diet soda a day can increase your chance of weight gain, diabetes, heart disease and it lowers your golf score too. Bad scientists! Bad, bad, bad scientists! Oh sure, first they invent the damn things, and then they wait for all of us [...]
Here is a link to a brand new interview with American Steel. The band will be appearing on the second leg of the Fat Tour. We just posted those dates today.
We have just posted all the tour dates and ticket links for the Northwestern leg of the Fat Tour 2008 featuring NOFX, No Use For a Name and American Steel! You might be looking at the list below and think “That’s a pretty short leg” but sometimes things with a short leg are completely killer like those freaky mountain goats or Rivers Cuomo. Besides, he got that shit fixed after the Blue Album and try telling me how somebody with normal, boring legs could write a song as good as “Say It Ain’t So.” We’re going to post the first mp3 from the upcoming No Use for a Name record next week to get you ready for the start of the first leg of the tour. We’re cooking up some cool road diaries, podcasts, videos and contests for the tour and we’ll let you know about those soon. Here’s the dates:
May 2nd Denver, CO - The Fillmore Auditorium
May 3rd SLC, UT - In the Venue
May 4th Missoula, MT - TBA
May 6th Edmonton, Alberta

By lifting weights you can burn as many calories as with running or jogging. Also exercising the muscles can work preventive for diabetes.
A British research shows that you train certain muscles with weight training, which also use energy and burn calories while you are resting. These are a different kind of muscles than those that [...]
A diet low in carbohydrates but high in animal fat and protein doesn’t seem to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in women.
The findings, were a bit surprising in that most doctors and nutritionists recommend a low-fat diet to prevent type 2 diabetes.
For this study, researchers examined the association between low-carb diets and the [...]
Insulin and glucagon – the unsuspected keys to successful fat loss Insulin and glucagon play important metabolic roles.Insulin is a storage hormone, promoting the storage of glucose as muscle and liver glycogen and the storage of dietary fat as triglycerides in the adipose tissue.Glucagon is a release hormone. It triggers the release of stored fat and the breakdown of glycogen into glucose.Insulin and glucagon are inversely pared hormones – when one is high the other is low. For this reason storage and release do not occur at the same time. Which process occurs at any given time depends on the insulin to glucagon ratio:insulin levels are higher then glucagon levels => glucose and fatty acid storage occursglucagon levels are higher the insulin levels =>triglyceride release and glycogen breakdown occurs For optimum fat loss glucagon levels must be, most of the time, higher then insulin levels so as to maximize the amount of triglycerides “broken down” and used for energy produc
In an earlier post I talked about the importance of dietary fats in any (weight loss) diet plan. Not only do they supply energy to our body, they also play an important part in our nerve system, cell membranes, hormones and many other bodily functions.
In this article I’m going to talk about the 4 different kinds of dietary fats: saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat and trans fatty acids. Some fats are good for you, while others are dangerous and should be avoided at all cost.
One interesting fact often overlooked is that fat in food always comes in a mixture. Some foods have more of the good fats while others have more of the bad fats. But there will always be a combination of the two. It's your task to learn which food products have more of the healthy dietary fat and consequently, avoid the bad foods.

Yes. Fat Joe has something to say about 50 Cent, that he can't keep quiet about, not even if, ooh, it makes people look at him. He thinks 50 Cent is a coward, or something:"He got shot by people who he knows and he doesn't do nothing about it."He gets criticised by people like Ja Rule, little Ja Rule, and he never even fought him one on one."He's going to come fuck with Fat Joe? Are you serious? He still don't leave his house. He's looking for attention, I'm gonna diss him. I'm gonna tell him to suck my dick, everything you can think."I'm gonna tell him that. What does he want out of me? He's gonna tell me, 'Oh, Fat Joe, you're a sucka', and I'm gonna be like, 'Suck my dick you punk ass motherfucker."Joe is quite desperate for 50 Cent to suck his dick, isn't he? And who can blame him - we'll just bet that Fiddy is an attentive lover, generous with his tongue and not afraid to take a little dribble of precum across his face. Let's just hope that Joe isn't reluctant to reciprocate - afte
Including low fat dairy products in your diet can improve your weight loss efforts. Higher dairy consumption is associated with greater weight loss and a greater decrease in waist circumference.

Other studies have actually shown that full fat dairy may [...]
Seriously...who did they survey?More than one in five women planning weddings would ask their maid-of-honour to sign a written bridal "pre-nuptial agreement". Some asked bridesmaids to sign contracts promising not to put on weight or get pregnant before the big day. Almost half of those questioned said they would sack a bridesmaid who broke the contract. The survey, commissioned by the UK magazine You & Your Wedding asked 1000 women what clauses they sought in a contract.
In the last few decades the general opinion about dietary fats has been very negative. Food industry spends billions annually to make our food products low fat. As a result we now have light products, dangerous fat substitutes such as Olestra (Made by Proctor & Gamble, often to be found in potato chips), low fat diet books and diet pills making sure our body doesn’t absorb the essential fatty acids.

Many people still believe that in order to get fit you have to eat a low fat diet.This article is for them. While it is true that some types of fats are associated with health problems, removing fats completely from your diet is catastrophic both to your health and fat loss attempts.This guy eats low fat. Can't you tell it's working?:PIt is time to clear up some myths about fats. Read this article and find out the truth about fats and how adding certain kinds of fats to your diet is not only beneficial but even critical to your well being. Types of fats Fats come in three basic forms: saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. Plus, nowadays there is a new artificially manufactured fat present in food called trans fat. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are considered to be the “good” fats. The reason they are considered good is because they are sources of essential fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids

FRIDAY WRAP UP! We posted the covers for the brand new Good Riddance and No Use for a Name records. Here’s a cool story about some Fat vinyl. Here’s a giant tour update from Strike Anywhere who are going to be hitting the US, Canada, South America and Europe. The Real McKenzies are in the studio here in SF and we should have an official update from them soon. Lastly, I was properly scolded for saying that Fat didn’t do well in the Vegas bowling tournament over the weekend. Apparently Floyd’s team finished in the money at an impressive 20th place! We officially apologize and bow down to his bowling expertise.
Before laying out the guidelines for optimum protein consumption, let’s take a moment to examine what happens when not enough protein is consumed and to address the question of “How much protein does an active person need?”How much protein does an active person need?Protein has a mainly structural purpose in the body; the amino acids that result from the digestion of protein are used for the synthesis of non essential amino acids and other various compounds (different hormones, cell components etc.).Besides the small amount of amino acids floating around in the blood stream and in the muscles, the body has no “real” storage mechanism for amino acids.Because of this, it is critical to supply through your diet the amino acids the body needs for synthesis purposes. Failing to do so causes protein deficiency. When in a prolonged state of protein deficiency the body reacts by breaking down muscle tissue and, eventually, organ tissue to provide for it’s basic amino acid needs.Now
1. When you first wake up, commit to 10 minutes of continuous exercise. Choose only three movements and perform each in succession without stopping for 10 minutes. For example, you can perform modified push-ups on Monday, followed by crunches for your abs followed by stationary lunges. On Tuesday, you can perform free-standing squats with hands on hips, double crunches for abs and close-grip modified push-ups (hands 3 inches apart) for your triceps. All in 10 minutes! Just take a quick breather when you need it.2. Perform timed interval walking in your neighborhood or at lunch. If it takes 10 minutes to walk to a certain destination near your office or in your neighborhood, try to make it in 8 minutes. You can also do this first thing in the morning before work as well as on your lunch break.3. If you have stairs in your home or in your work place, commit to taking the stairs a specific number of times. Tell yourself that you'll take the stairs six or eight times (no matter what).4. Wh
There's nothing Crabbie loves more than one celeb dishing the dirt on other celebs. Oh the exquisite joy of betrayed confidences! Thankfully, there are plenty of stroppy old cows out there who are eager to make a buck by cramming their autobiographies full of such nasty tales. Like Kathleen Turner, whose new book about her life is laced with plenty of dirt on her various co-stars.An excerpt from Kathleen's book, Send Yourself Roses, is featured in the Daily Mail. In this bit, Kathleen discusses her experience with William Hurt, her co-star in the controversial Body Heat:Working with Bill Hurt was - shall we say - enlightening. In those days, he was pretty wild. He drank a great deal and took a lot of recreational drugs - he loved those magic mushrooms. He loved women, too; I don't know how many he went through during filming. Bill always wanted to stay in character and be called 'Ned', even off-stage. He'd get a little teed off when I was chatting with the cameraman up to the mome

Various types of fat are not equally fattening. While saturated fats and omega-6 polyunsaturated fats contribute to obesity. Omega-3 and, to a lesser extent monounsaturated fats, are negatively correlated with obesity.

Alcohol has been implicated as a factor that may hurt your efforts to lose

because technically speaking, alcohol is NOT stored as fat; it is oxidized
ahead of other fuels.
Whether moderate drinking is healthy has also been a subject of controversy.

FRIDAY WRAP UP! I guess Lagwagon are NOT going to be playing that big free show in Toronto tomorrow with Strung Out because of some border issues. Here are some photos of the Gimmes ringing in the New Year. Here are interviews with American Steel and the Flatliners. The Mad Caddies are streaming four songs from their debut album, Quality Softcore, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release. Strike Anywhere are headed out with Paint It Black and the Gamblers and here’s a live webcast of a Sainte Catherines show in Montreal. Lastly, the Fat Wreck Wiki kids are having a contest and you can win a free iPod Shuffle!
As the seasons change so does the menu, at this popular 1064-unit casual restaurant chain. You’ll find this item in the “Low-Fat and Fabulous” column during the summer months where it’s been a favorite since 1997. As with any salad, the waistline violator is the traditionally fat-filled dressing that’s drizzled in gobs over the top of very healthy greens (a tablespoon of dressing is usually around 10-12 grams of fat each). So if we can just figure out a cool way to make the dressing fat-free, we’re well on our way to making huge salad – four of them to be exact – with only 12 grams of fat on the entire plate. Most of those grams come from the chicken breast, while the crunchy chow mein noodles pick up the rest. Just be sure to plan ahead when you make this one. The chicken should marinate for a few hours if you want it to taste like the original. Get ready for some big, meal-size salads. 1 cup teriyaki marinade4 chicken breast fillets Fat-Free Asian Dressing2 cups water

Dieting - how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... OK, DONE!No one really enjoys dieting, and while we may be of the epicurean mindset, even us wine lovers need to count the calories once in a while. To get our New Year's resolutions off to the right start, I've put together some information for wine lovers who might be wondering how wine factors into their their dieting plans...All alcoholic beverages have calories. This includes wine. Most wines contain a very small amount of sugars - a few grams - even wines that are totally "dry." Very sweet dessert wines contain a bit more, but overall this will still be less than 10 grams on average. You may even find a small amount of Sodium (about 1% the recommended daily amount) and even carbs (around 5 grams, or about 2% DV). But those all contribute a very small amount of calories to the overall wine experience.A Wine's calories are largely a factor of alcohol content. Alcohol content accounts for 80% or more of the calories in
Losing fat-weight is not seen as a quick, easy process. That is because many people are misted into believing that if they diet, they will lose weight. They will, but it will not be fat-weight-loss but water-weight loss and lean-muscle-weight loss. Only aerobic exercise can build up your lean muscle mass and ensure fat-weight loss.And the best balance can be achieved and maintained by regular aerobic exercise and a fatless or low-fat diet with high-fibre content. Recently, it has been discovered that more oxygen is required to burn fat than burn carbohydrates. Which could explain why losing fat-weight is not easy. However, regular aerobic exercise combined with low-fat or fatless food does the trick.Food without fat? The image thrown up by this phrase is one of boring boiled vegetables. But our chapter on food will show you how you can turn out delicious meals without ghee, butter or oil. Meanwhile, here are a few pointers to convert your eating lifestyle from a fat-producing one to a
Earlier this year NOFX set out to capture the essence of their live show, or maybe they were just looking for an excuse to get wasted, we’re not really sure. Regardless of their intentions, what resulted is their drunkest, funnest, best sounding recording ever with new versions of old songs and some rare songs too. This is about as close as you are going to get to seeing the band without having to go to the Warped Tour… wait a second, they’re actually doing a US tour and it’s the 2008 Fat Tour! That’s right, NOFX are set to headline a Fat Tour early next year with No Use For a Name as main support! American Steel and The Flatliners will each open separate legs of the tour.

My mom knew I was sad about not having chestnuts on Christmas Day so she brought me a huge bag of chestnuts last night. I cringed. I'm supposed to be on a diet now that the holidays are over and I have less than five months to my wedding. Plus, Lon doesn't eat chestnuts.Of course, I started eating some chestnuts last night after my family left. I tried the microwave method and did not like it. So last night I soaked some over night and now I'm boiling a batch (about 50 minutes depending on size). This is my favorite method because if you soak them, you don't have to cut a slit open, which keeps flavor locked in. If you don't have that much time, here are some other cooking methods.I decided to look up the chestnut nutrition facts to see how much damage I was doing. I always thought chestnuts were super high in fat but I just looked it up and they're actually pretty low in fat (1.6 grams in 4 ounces of cooked chestnut) compared to other nuts. Yay! They are still high in carbohydrates s
