Do Diet Sodas Make You Fat?
While there supplements/pills out there that will definitely help with weight loss, including green tea extract, guarana, etc - My feeling is that these are only temporary. For long term weight loss you have to eat healthier (less calories) and workout (boost your metabolism). These are both lifestyle changes - I think most people pop the pills, starve them selves, lose some weight, and then start eating cheese burgers again and wonder why they gained it all back.

Weight Loss in a Pill?
Every time I tell someone I only do 16 minutes or cardio (per session) they always seem to balk. Almost everyone believes that low intensity cardio for longer durations is the way to burn fat. I'm not sure where everyone got the notion from, including myself, but I want to tell you about 'High intensity Cardio' (HIC) and why it is the best way to reach your goal of losing body fat. There are a variety of different forms of HIC - Some people call it high intensity training', some call it VO2 training, AST calls their version Max-OT Cardio and Body for Life calls theirs the 'High Point Training'. Whatever you call it, it all follows the same fundamental principles - high intensity cardio workouts, short durations (under 20 minutes) and increased intensity each progressive session. Why does it work? Most people seem to think that they burn fat during their cardio workouts, thus more is better. But this isn't quite the case. While you are burning some fat during the workout, the amount is negligible. The real fat burning process starts after the workout - if you appropriately exerted yourself during the workout, then your metabolic rate will be higher during the hours following the your session, and this is when your body will really be burning the excess calories. In addition, long sessions of cardio will force your body to go into a catabolic state - This is when your body starts using muscle for fuel. Why is the bad? Because the more muscle you have, the more calories your body needs throughout the day to maintain that muscle, i.e. you have a higher metabolic rate. So having a long workout, where the goal is to lose fat is in fact counterproductive due to the muscle breaking down, which will ultimately lower your metabolism. A recent study showed people who engaged in 90 sessions of low intensity cardio over a 20 week period lost 1% body fat, while those who engaged in 25 sessions of moderate intensity cardio then 35 sessions of high intensity cardio over a 15 week period lost 3% body fat. Additional studies have shown that participants engaging in short HIC lost 9 times more fat than those who performed long low intensity training. I will post more soon about how to incorporate HIC into your training program.

Are You Up All Night?
Sleep is also critical to muscle gains, particularly if you are following a weight training program. A lack can short circuit all of your hard work in the gym. A recent study by The Eastern Virginia Medical School showed that those who slept that much more a night on average had a Body Mass Index of five points lower than others in the study.

I have seen a number of articles recently about flax seeds preventing hair loss. Apparently, the key are flax lignans, which are found in flax seeds, but not in flax oil. You can buy ground flax seeds at most grocery stores, or if you want to save some money, you can purchase whole flax seeds and grind them up in a food processor. They are particularly good on top of salad and cereal. Be sure to refrigerate them after grinding. http://www.dentalplans.com/Dental-Health-Articles/Natural-Supplement-Shows-Promise-for-Hair-Loss.asp

One of the biggest myths is that you should do cardio and lift weights during the same exercising session. When you do cardio you deplete your glycemic stores - when you lift after cardio your body is already drained of energy thus stunting your workou.
