Video | What is REHIT? | Why It Works | How to Do REHIT | Details for Performing

If you don’t have an hour each day to do steady-state aerobic exercise. If a 20-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session fits your schedule but requires more effort than you are willing or able to do, I understand. 

Can I interest you in 40 seconds of effort? 

This is not some silly made-up thing; it is a real form of exercise called REHIT or reduced-exertion high-intensity training, and it has been shown in studies to increase aerobic capacity and metabolic health, even if you are currently sedentary. This blog post shows you why it works and how you can do it.

To maintain a healthy weight, the Food and Drug Administration recommends eating 275 grams of carbs a day. For some people, that amount of carbs in a 2,000-calorie diet works. But if it doesn’t work for you, you may consider following a diet lower in carbohydrates. 

This blog post shares four options: Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, and Low-Carb. I’ll let you know what makes them different and provide food lists for each level.

Must I Be Keto Forever? (aka Can I Start Eating Carbs Again?) 

Video | Ketones | Continue Losing Weight | Maintain Weight

Most of us have changed our diets at one time or another. Over the past years, the ketogenic diet has risen in popularity because it works for fat loss, produces energy-rich ketones, and offers many enjoyable and easy-to-prepare food choices. 

But a keto diet cuts out some fun foods, like certain fruits, potatoes, and bread, and special treats like birthday cake. This leads many people to ask, “Can I ever go back to eating carbs?” This blog post explores when it is right and not right to step back from your keto diet.

This blog post idea came one night while my husband, Keith, and I were doing a crossword puzzle. One of the answers turned out to be salmagundi. We had no idea what it was or even that it was a food.

Menopause, Belly Fat, and Insulin Resistance – Stop the 1 Pound-a-Year Weight Gain

Video | Why Weight Gain? | IR and Belly Fat | Improving? | Carbohydrates | Fasting | Exercise

As women reach middle age, many will gain about 1 pound (0.5kg) a year (1).

This steady increase in weight is attributed to age rather than menopause itself. However, the transition into menopause has an unwelcome effect on body composition, with accelerated gains in fat mass (often showing up in the belly) and losses of lean mass (2).

So, even if the scale is not changing, your body composition and fat distribution may be.

Improving insulin sensitivity, while not a cure-all, gives you a way to mitigate these changes, and you can achieve that by making insulin’s job easier. I will show you how in this blog.
