Tomatoes taste best in the peak of summer. Did you know in-season tomatoes pack nearly twice as much vitamin C as off-season varieties? I know it’s technically Autumn/Fall but the weather over here is still summer-ish so we have plenty of fresh tomatoes still around. This soup makes great use of these end-of-season tomatoes and is a perfect easy lunch idea.

I am going to dissect a recent Time magazine article called, "Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin". I do agree with parts of this article, but think a lot of this is bogus. The author simply isn't taking a strategic approach to exercise and seems to be complaining for his lack of results. That being said, I do agree with a few of his points. Let's dig in!

[While staying lean and losing body fat is largely about diet, you can magnify the effects of a good diet with the right types of exercise. Note: The photo above is a good example of eating smaller portions of your favorite foods.]

Cardio Queen. That was my unofficial nickname at the gym.I would proudly pop on my I-pod, pull out my trashy magazine, and a big bottle of water (Nalgene of course…I care about the environment people) and stay on my cardio machine for the entirety of my gym session. I Pumped away on a variety of machines…I have a particular addiction to the elliptical….my foolish mind believed this was how I was going to acquire those six pack abs I had always dreamed of. These machines will make me super sexy sculpted girl, I will be on the next Shape Magazine….Oh how foolish I was….
Well I can’t afford a personal trainer…even after giving blood three times in one month for extra cash….word to the wise DO NOT recommend this and I have tried the free weights and strength machines on my own without much success. Either I got bored very easily […]

A quick good news / not so good news post today about building muscle and fasting.
The Good news – Research shows (once again) that even 72 hours of fasting (way longer than I recommend) does not change whole body protein turnover or measures of protein oxidation (you’re not losing muscle).
The not so good news news – The same research also shows that that massive doses of insulin and amino acids after a fast are no more anabolic then they are in the fed state. In other words fasting didn’t some how turn you into a muscle building monster.
Bottom line – Eat Stop Eat is supported by EVEN more research showing it’s a great way to lose fat without losing muscle! You’re not losing massive muscle when you are fasting and you are not building massive amounts of new muscle because you are coming out of a fast (there’s no magic […]

Fear of dangerous strangers is keeping our kids and teens from using their neighborhood playgrounds and parks.
Instead, they stay inside and play virtual table tennis on their Nintendo Wii.
It’s not the same thing.
Researchers in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta, looked at perceived opportunities and barriers to physical activity in an inner-city neighbourhood in Edmonton.
Study data revealed three themes that influenced youngsters’ opportunities for physical activity, with positive and negative factors for each.The first theme identified was “neighbourhood characteristics.”
Positive neighborhood characteristics include “walkable” neighborhoods with plenty of parks and playgrounds and nearby amenities.
Negative neighborhood characteristics include perceived “stranger danger” fears related to drug users, bullies, prostitutes, gang members and fear of abduction deterred children and youth from visiting these places.
The second theme was “family involvement.”
Researchers found that while children and youth were rarely allowed out alone, involvement by a family member, for example, […]
