I was just curious to hear what others thought about it. I've check it out myself and was surprised to find that the characteristics of someone with A blood type were actually very much like me. I don't do "fad" diets I just eat healthy. Was an interesting topic though.

Everyone all ready said but...sugar is sugar lol. The difference is added sugar is sugar that is added into foods to make them sweater like all the sugar dumped into soda, but it doesn't matter if you get it from fruit or not. Fruits have fiber present which is going to slow down the rate of absorption and some of that…

I wouldn't put much faith in any cleanse product. Some of them may work, but unless you change your diet its only a short term answer. I have seen people take cleanse products before, mostly because they did certain illegal drugs and when a drug test came for college sports, they attempted to clean themselves of the…

As long as your total calorie intake isn't in excess it wont make a difference. Don't be taking in large sources of protein powders to get there though, as there is a correlation between kidney damage and excessive protein supplementation.

I gram of protein equals 4 calories

Whey protein should only be used if you can not ingest natural sources of protein.

I learned my information taking an exercise physiology class from the instructor who does studies and research for gatorade and nike where they actually measured the calories burned during different levels of exertion over varying distances. The calories burned is not exactly the same but it is close, enough to state that…

You burn roughly 100 calories per mile you run. It doesn't matter if you walk one mile you will still burn roughly 100 calories. The only difference is the time you do it in and you tend to burn more carbs at faster paces and more fat at lower paces. I'm not exactly sure on the carbs and fats part but the difference…

I have a hard time seeing a doctor perscribing a diet that was not balanced in nutrtion but was instead increasing the consumption fo fats, including saturated fats. As I said before there is not a single organization that does not agree that saturated fats are bad for you in high amounts. They are linked to a decrease in…

I apoligize since this is much longer than what i first intended. I watered the biochemical science down so hopefully it is easy to understand. But first I'd say you need to ask yourself what your goals are. Are you trying to just drop weight or are you trying to drop weight and trim/tone up which seems to be what most…
