Dr. Kal Chinyere (Lost 130+ Pounds!)

While I’ve really enjoyed being able to be Mr. Low Body Fat the majority of this summer, the reality is that I’m a teacher and the Fall semester starts today.  So, I now have to split my time with my day job, which pays the bills.  Does this mean that I’m leaving you guys and abandoning my blog?

Of course not!

It just means that since I have to be very organized with my time, you guys may benefit from getting posts earlier than planned, which is a good thing.  For instance, I’ve decided not to wait until the first of next month to release my latest addition to my Fat Loss Stories of Inspiration series.  Also, I’ve decided to release my inaugural edition of my newsletter Feed Your Brain to Lose the Fat a week early too!  So, be sure to click on the Newsletter link under my logo.

Well, the darkside of me going back to work is that I won’t always have time to answer your emails right away, but I promise that I will continue to blog no less than once a week.  OK, let’s move on with the incredible story of Dr. Kal Chinyere . . . (more…)

How to Build Muscle–Olympic Style

OK, I know that I wasn’t the only guy out there highly impressed with the awesome physiques of the Olympic gymnasts.  Honestly, I’ve always admired not only their incredible physiques but the fact that they are complete masters of their bodyweight!

Well, contrary what some say, one can definitely build bulging muscles and rock hard abs without ever lifting one weight!  Jason Ferruggia, author of Muscle Gaining Secrets, talks more about this in his most recent blog post. (more…)

Eating Fast Food = Obesity: The Myth Exposed!

Alright guys, now that I’ve settled in a bit with the new site and working with wordpress (go open source!), it’s time for me to kick up a little dust MLBF style. Rarely does a day go by that I either hear someone preach about the evils of fast food restaurants and how they are contributing to obesity. Well, it’s easy for me to ignore folks, but when they start passing legislation based on this myth, I’ve had all that I can stand, and I can’t stands no more (said in my best Popeye voice) …

Last month, a Los Angeles City Council committee passed a proposal to ban the opening of new fast-food establishments in a 32-square-mile area of the city, which affects @ 500,000 Los Angeleans. This area of the city includes some of the poorest, and most obese, communities in LA. The council voted unanimously for this proposal because they believe that all the fast food places in these communities are a major reason why 30% of folks from these South LA communities are obese, compared to 21% of their more affluent neighbors in the rest of LA. So, according to the thinking of the council members, more sit down, family oriented restaurants, which serve healthier choices, should be built in these communities.

While I applaud their efforts for trying to curb the obesity epidemic we are experiencing in this country, this proposal is misguided and, unfortunately, built on a colossal myth–eating fast food makes one fat! (more…)

“Metabolic Acceleration Training” by Alwyn Cosgrove

In a previous post, I talked about why I listen to strength and conditioning coaches for fat loss and not the latest fad diet author, who looks as if s/he could lose a few pounds. Well, not only do these guys usually know their stuff, they are more than willing to literally give away their knowledge for nothing!

Don’t believe me? OK, here are four routines that you can access right now, and they won’t cost you a dime:

• Steve Maxwell’s Daily Dozen Joint Mobility Exercises
• Craig Ballantyne’s 4 week All Bodyweight Exercises Turbo Turbulence
• Josh Henkin’s 10 Most Powerful and Effective Sandbag Programs
• Mike Mahler’s The New Rules of Effective Fat Loss

If those aren’t enough for you, I’m spotlighting yet another training article by Alwyn Cosgrove. I can’t get enough of his no nonsense and practical approaches to fat loss. Also, he not only explains many different training concepts in this article, but he also gives you a lot of different types of training that you can do to aid your fat loss. (more…)

Today, August 2, 2008, marks the one year anniversary that I started my fat loss and training blog, Mr. Low Body Fat’s Blog. With a year of blogging under my belt, I felt that it was time for me to move my blog to my own ISP and to update the look and feel. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, there are many more things happening with the new look of my blog that differs greatly from the basic blogger template I was using.
