World’s largest diet study reveals most successful diet

Researchers in Denmark say they've found the perfect diet for losing and keeping the weight off  - and it doesn't involve counting calories.

The best diet for weight loss maintenance, say researchers at the Faculty of Life Sciences (LIFE) at the University of Copenhagen, is one that is low fat, high in protein and low in food with a high "glycemic index." 

 
The glycemic index is a measure of a food's ability to raise blood glucose levels. Generally, raw or unprocessed foods have a low GI and take longer to digest than refined foods such as white bread and sugary foods. 


In fact, researchers say that by avoiding high GI foods and eating more lean meat and beans, dieters can eat as much as they like without gaining weight.

How To Make a Great Investment With The Right Personal Trainer

I really want people to understand the difference between bad trainers, good trainers and GREAT trainers. You don't want to waste valuable time and money on a bad (or even a good) trainer. So, how do you identify a GREAT TRAINER?

Honestly, any Joe blow on the street can say he is a personal trainer, and poof, he is one. I say this not to scare you, but to help you realize that you have a very important decision to make and will want all the facts. So how do you find the right trainer? There is not only a financial commitment on the line but also and more importantly your time, effort, and health. To make this decision easier, I’ve compiled a list of 9 steps of what to look for and questions to ask when you interview a personal trainer or meet with them during your initial session.
