You eat the right food and you exercise. If you’re not losing fat, you may need to pay attention to an often forgotten factor of fat loss – your metabolism.
Your metabolism is a measure of how many calories you are burning each day. But did you know that the food, exercise, and lifestyle choices you make every day have a significant impact on your metabolism? For example, if you starve yourself (instead of following a sensible fat-loss eating plan) your metabolism will slow down. If your metabolism slows down, it means your calories out will be less. And that means no more fat loss, and possibly even continued fat gain.

Weight loss can never function in a healthy manner within just a couple of weeks.

A healthy, balanced diet combined with adequate exercise is a must for a toned body that looks great all year round.

At age 50 and up, losing weight and maintaining it can be quite a challenge. But it can be done. Read on for details.
Roman poet and satirist Horace once said a good scare is worth more than good advice, and Dr. Dawn White would agree when it comes to weight gain.
“Everyone knows they should be eating healthy foods and exercising, but for many, until they are diagnosed with a health scare, they just won’t,” said White, an internist and certified bariatrician at Grand Health Partners. “A diagnosis of diabetes and daily insulin shots prompts people to seriously take a look at their weight and what they can do to get back in shape and reduce their risk.”

Here is a list of the most common squatting mistakes bodybuilders and weightlifters make. Avoid these mistakes to avoid injury.
As far as lower body exercises are concerned, the barbell squat is king. Unfortunately, this weightlifting exercise also has a bad rap for causing knee injuries, when in fact the opposite is true—squats are actually good for your knees, provided you use proper form.
If you plan to make squatting a part of your weightlifting or bodybuilding routine, it is vitally important to stick to proper form. Not performing a squat correctly is a great way to injure yourself, especially if you decided to squat heavy right away. Remember, proper form trumps a heavier squatting weight. You can’t continue to exercise if your knee is injured.

Powerlifting and bodybuilding are two terms that are sometimes used interchangeably. But these two fitness activities are not the same. Read the full article for details.
Amateur bodybuilder Ann Olson writes about the benefits of eating deer meat, especially in relation to bodybuilding.
Deer meat isn’t a popular protein source for bodybuilders for many reasons. If you’re not willing to shoot a buck yourself, deer meat does not come cheap, which may explain why most bodybuilders reach for chicken breasts instead of organic venison. If you do kill a buck, gutting and skinning the deer can be messy and time consuming—it’s not for the weak of heart.
So why consider it?
Sure, sure, it’s messy—but don’t make that the reason not to chow down on quality deer. Deer meat has a slew of benefits you won’t find in your traditional slab of chicken or beef.

A recent study from Sydney reveals that a low protein diet meant that individuals gain weight in the long term due to a high calorie consumption.
How does protein help with weight loss? The Australian study proved, from the samples’ calorie consumption patterns, that the group consuming 15-35% protein everyday was eating fewer calories than the group that ate a low 10% of daily protein. This could be due to two reasons – 1. Healthy (low-fat) protein is a better appetite controller than most junk carbs and fats, and 2. The other snacks weren’t good dietary choices (Read: High Glycemic index, low energy for high calorie worth, and high on salt and sugars). Between these two causes themselves, a person can benefit through adequate protein consumption when it comes to weight management.
