Diet Plan Reviews - What to Look For - 
Do you read diet plan reviews? I have read (and published) many of them myself. There is one thing in common in most reviews, they are based on the personal opinion of the author (not scientific data). Which is fine if the author is a recognized authority with proper credetials, like an M.D., Ph.D., certified nutritionist, fitness professional or wellness coach, but most are not.
Unfortunately, many diet reviews are published by Internet marketers just trying to make a buck. These reviews (in my opinion) are scrapping together ideas and conjecture about dietary supplements or lifestyles that they haven't even tried. This is not to say all reviews are unprofessional, many are very professional and packed full of useful information.
In essence there are 2 things a diet plan review is trying to accomplish.
- To get you to buy into a certain dietary product.
- To get you to change your lifestyle to a better way of living.
See what diet plan reviews should have in them...Read Full Article

3 Weight Loss Laws of Metabolism - 
If Sir Issac Newton had defined weight loss laws they would be something like this. A body at rest would stay at rest until acted upon by a metabolism booster. Weight loss is equal to energy burned times metabolic rate. A metabolism boost would have an equal and opposite energy burning reaction. Instead he defined the principal laws of motion.
So let's say that your goal is to improve your size, shape and physical health. Then you would need an outside force to act upon your resting body to accelerate it toward that goal. We can see that weight loss is equal to energy burned times metabolic rate or WL = E x M. Read Full Article

Whole vs. Soy Milk - A Better Shake - 
Which one makes a better milk shake? How much difference is there between whole cow's milk and Soy milk? Plenty, if you ask me. In reality the differences are not that much.
Each come in a variety of flavors and contains vitamins, minerals, protein, sugars and fat. It is the amount and quality of those ingredients that makes the difference.
