Went it comes to my fitness, I spend most of my time at the gym, boxing club or outside (in the summer).
I’m big on using free weights for weight training and I also quite enjoy the cable machine at the gyms because I really like the definition I get from using them.
I’ve never really been big on exercise equipments until recently. But now I’d have to say that I cannot live with my skipping rope, my TRX suspension and my Smart Gym.
1) I love skipping rope because it’s an incredible challenge and gives me great legs as I age!

101 Things To Do Before You Diet?
Did you know that visible panty lines add pounds to the way you feel? So how does your panty line affect your diet and weight loss?
Well that’s exactly what 40-something British fashion and beauty journalist Mimi Spencer will attempt to answer in her book 101 Things To Do Before You Diet!
Mimi Spencer wrote this book as an antidote to a professional downside: Mimi Spencer has spent most of her life surrounded by catwalks and ultrathin celebrities-and she’s sick and tired of dieting (Amen to that). So she created the anti-diet book! In 101 Things to do Before You Diet, Spencer shares the tips, tricks, and solutions that finally helped her lose those last few pounds and shows women how to trim, flatter, and accept every inch of their bodies.

Food, Inc. out on DVD
Food, Inc. is one of the most viewed video I’ve produced since the launch of the site. I created the video just after watching the movie that truly left me jaw-dropped and shaking my head.
I know that Food, Inc. wasn’t playing in all cities and many people weren’t able to take advantage of all the learning from this incredible film.
I already have the Food, Inc.
If you are looking to reach a healthy weight this year, do yourself a favour and get the DVD. It will be the most eye opening experience in your life and will certainly change the way you eat.

The Mayo Clinic Diet
You’ve heard of the Mayo Clinic, right? You know the Mayo Clinic that’s constantly being quoted in the media when it comes to data/facts about healthy, diseases and diet?
Well, the Mayo Clinic is the first and largest integrated, not-for-profit group practice in the world. Doctors from every medical specialty work together to care for patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy that the needs of the patient come first. More than 3,600 physicians and scientists and 50,000 allied staff work at Mayo, which has sites in Rochester, Minn.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. Collectively, Mayo Clinic treats more than 500,000 patients a year.
For more than 100 years, millions of people from all walks of life have found answers at Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic works with many insurance companies, does not require a physician referral in most cases and is an in-network provider for millions of people.
Considering such an impressive resume, you’d think that the Mayo Clinic would know a thing or two about weight gain, obesity, and the difficulty of losing weight.

Superfoods by David Wolfe
I think that you can bypass the entire content of David Wolfe’s latest book and simply focus on the subtitle:
“The Food and Medicine of the Future”
I agree with David Wolfe and I also believe if more people integrated more superfoods into their lives they would help their bodies remain strong enough to fight off all sorts of medical issues.

Dr. Oz Fridge Makeover Tips
***I also talk about YOU: On A Diet Revised 2009 Edition: The Owner’s Manual for Waist Management a little later in this post****
On Monday, January 4th, 2010, Dr. Oz kicked off the New Year with a room filled with 200 people wanting to lose weight in the New Year (does this sound familiar?).
It was an interesting show and I always like it when Dr. Oz includes his partners Dr. Roizen.
Yesterday’s ‘The 14-day You Diet’ was filled with loads of information to help a lot of people struggling with their weight get themselves on the right path.
There was a lot of information to digest in Dr. Oz’s show, but I think that one of the segments was a quick-start that anyone can start applying today to start seeing some serious changes in their diet, weight and overall health in a short period of time.
Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen helped Alyssa and Gerard understand how to become better food shoppers. Alyssa is 45 and a nurse and a new mom, while Gerard is 55 and a doctor and he also happens to have had a heart attack one year ago. Despite the new baby (at a late age) and the heart attack both Alyssa and Gerard depend on the convenience of fast food, frozen foods and take-away/take-out food to help them with the weekly meal planning.

Bottega Favorita is an incredible Italian cookbook!
Have you heard? Italian food is in again!
In case you missed this, you can catch the post I wrote about it here:
Italian food is popular again!
In my world, Italian food was never “out”. I know French cuisine was the big “it” cuisine during the richer, financially-fatter years, but now many people are pairing down their recipe choices along with their lifestyles. (Personally, I still enjoy French cuisine – and have been enjoying it since I started dating my Parisian ex-husband back in the 90s – only these days, you won’t see any foie gras or Champagne on my mid-week menu, just quiche or ratatouille instead.)
I think the reason why so many people are embracing Italian cuisine and recipes again is because there is something quite comforting about it, don’t you think? It’s the comforting part that attracted me so much to Bottega Favorita, an Italian cookbook written by a Southern chef (what a powerful combination – Southern and Italian cuisines are both about loads of love!).

The End of Overeating explains a lot about the obesity problem in America!
Dr. David Kessler is everywhere you turn! (I have to say kudos to his publicity firm because they did an incredible job at getting Dr. Kessler in front of as many viewers as possible!)
Lately, I’ve seen him on numerous morning shows sharing his opinions about why America has an obesity epidemic. He explains that a typical American’s diet has been hijacked by fat, sugar and salt! I could not agree more.
Though I have about 20 new health, diet and nutrition books to read, seeing Dr. Kessler on so many shows moved his book, The End of Overeating, to the top of the list.
>>>> Here are some really interesting facts about The End of Overeating:
* You may think it’s “food” you are eating … but it’s not. Most people are eating a sort of “engineered” diet including many processed and junk foods. Since when were humans supposed to eat all that fake food?
* Most people are living off a steady diet of fat, sugar and salt and they don’t even know it.
* That steady diet of fat, sugar and salt makes you crave even more fat, sugar and salt (do you see the nasty pattern here? Can you see the difficulty in getting to a healthy weight with that kind of fake food?)
