Do you have any ideas how hard it is to write a blog post while a 7 month old black lab puppy wrestles with a squeaky stuffed frog in my lap? I should get the pulitzer prize for this! SQUEAK!!
From CBS News we have this article about yet another odd diet. I think we’ve talked about this one before actually. It’s the banana diet which claims miraculous weight loss as long as you eat tons and tons of bananas or at least one banana every morning. Scientific basis? None! Common sense? None! Feel free to eat bananas I suppose. They’re not bad although they’re a bit high in starches for a fruit. Just don’t assume this is the only thing you need to do for a balanced diet.

Cracked.com is not exactly the place for objective and informative reporting. They’re a humor site and their articles are more about making you laugh than educating you. However, once in a while, Cracked has an article which is both informative and funny, like this one about 6 of your favorite things that might be making you fat. Enjoy!

The future of exercise is here! Well, at least according to this article. It talks about a couple of new gadgets that aim to make exercise more fun. I don’t know, this seems like overkill to me but the gyroball sounds like a neat idea.

And from Fat Man Unleashed, we find this article about weight lifting for weight loss. Most people think weight lifting will bulk you up, which is why many of them don’t do it. However, as this article points out, weight lifting does a lot more than build muscles. I couldn’t agree more!

thanks for the link, lifting weights actually build up you muscle which helps you burn fat more efficiently. but the muscles you build arent actually Arnold type muscles and thats where people get all confused.
