Basically, by doubling your usual caloric intake, your body's metabolism goes into hyperdrive and burns 9 times the calories! So, don't feel too bad about one cheat day. Just make today worth it!

When we lose weight, the body feeds itself with our fat and muscle mass BOTH. So, the importance of doing weight training while dieting is to…

  • During my "Recovery week" for P90x, I had to keep watching those shows to keep my mind focused on my goal of weight loss. I was particularly fond of my "Extreme Makeover: Weight-loss edition" marathon
