2008-08-30 Donna Krech on Key Factors to Changing Your Life and Losing Weight

The third thing I would say, you asked for three keys, is to understand life success, like I said -- weight loss is not about food, anymore than building a business is about making sales, or leaving a million dollar legacy is about making money. Its about maintaining motivation. You have to know where you want to go, and you got to understand ahead of time what is most likely going to come against you to keep you from getting where you want to go, and then you make a choice, and if youll allow me to say it this way, choose your weapons because if youve got a motivation assassinator coming against you maintaining your motivation, there are tools that you can use, simple, easy to use tools that will equip you with a never-ending motivation artillery, and you can take out the motivation assassinators.

2008-02-23 American Chronicle Weight Gain to Obtain Athletic Superiority

However, athletes are not the only ones who desire body mass gains. Many recreational weight trainers also strive to gain weight, and the protocol used to achieve this goal should be no different from that used by athletes. Also, from a health standpoint, weight gain is often necessary for proper physical and metabolic maturation. Such is the concern in the extremely lean individual or amenorrheic female who risks bone IOSS. Regardless, the goals of weight gain should maximize increases in lean body mass while minimizing gains in fat mass. But, just as a loss of lean tissue often accompanies weight loss, the accrual of fat is usually an undesired addition to muscular gains. In either instance, optimal physique enhancement is always accomplished by appropriate dietary and training practices.

2008-02-09 Study confirms that low-calorie sweeteners are helpful in weight control

Several studies conducted in humans have shown that low-calorie sweeteners and the products that contain them can be useful tools in weight control. For example, a study conducted by Dr. George Blackburn and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition investigated whether the addition of aspartame to a multidisciplinary weight control program would improve weight loss and long-term control of body weight in obese women. One hundred sixty-eight obese women aged 20 to 60 years were studied over a two-year period. The researchers found that participation in this multidisciplinary weight control program including the use of aspartame-sweetened foods and beverages not only facilitated weight loss, but long-term maintenance of a reduced body weight.

2008-03-07 The New 2008 CBR1000RR Fireblade

In order to achieve the stronger, higher-revving power output that the Fireblade and rsquo;s engineering team was looking for, a larger bore and shorter stroke were called for. In order to keep engine size and weight down, this new configuration required replacement of the current model and rsquo;s ceramic-composite cylinder sleeves with a highly rugged new JCP (Jet-flow Circulation Plating) cylinder wall surface treatment which permitted the cylinder bores to be increased from 75 to 76mm, reducing cylinder spacing from 6mm to 5mm while maintaining the same cylinder pitch and overall cylinder width as before. Effective cylinder weight was also reduced, making a significant contribution to the new engine and rsquo;s overall 2. 5kg weight loss compared to its predecessor.

2008-05-13 Risky Business - The Brits who take risks

Maccarinelli himself blames his second round destruction at the hands of Haye on a loss of concentration on his part, and there are also those who put it down to Macca being obviously nervous about the fight. I however, never thought Enzo had the tools to beat Haye as David is simply in another class and nothing in the pre-fight build up, the weigh in or the fight itself showed otherwise. The bout was only a risk for Haye in as much as he may not have been strong at the weight (something which he since claims to of been a ploy to get Enzo to sign for the fight), but it was a great risk for Enzo, one that I am especially surprised that usually cautious promoter Frank Warren took.
