Hidden pitfalls like not eating breakfast, having those "nutritious fruit smoothes", and snacking on "low fat" cookies.

Many times it is what you avoid eating that makes the difference.

So, here's a quick list of 20 Pitfalls to Avoid. They're listed in no particular order. You may want to print this list out and keep it as a handy reference. More...

 

4 Instant (Well, Almost Instant) Exercise Hacks For Better Results In The Gym By Eugene Thong CSCS

..................................................................................

 

One unique comfort food that my brother-in-law makes on our snowboard trips is instant ramen (chicken-flavored, of course) with an egg or two cracked into it (a la egg drop soup).

 

What does this have to do with your workout and getting better results in the gym?  It’s this: A quick modification that takes my brother-in-law all of 5 seconds not only improves his enjoyment of the dish mutli-fold, it elevates the meal from mere subsistence food to almost healthy (well, not quite, but it makes it a lot better for you than just straight ramen).

 

In a nod to my brother-in-law’s creative spirit, here are four near-instant tweaks you can use to improve the quality of your workouts: More...

Get Thoroughly Acquainted with Your Food for the Best Weight Loss Results 

 

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood type?

 

I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs work with high reps. Would you agree?

 

Do I need supplements to lose weight?

 

Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?

 

I’ve got fat located in the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid of it.  Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?

 

I know I should be having some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.

 

You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat meal?

 

Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
