Here is an old article that I wrote after watching the Great west run here in Exeter a few years ago. It discusses how, dispite our best intentions running, or more specifically jogging may not be the best method available to reduce fat.

I wasn't surprised when it got slagged off quite robustly by some trainers / coaches in London but dispite this it is still the truth. I think most of what is discussed is now old news but probably still usefull to consider at this time of New Year's resolutions...

With the New Year fast approaching the buzzword on everyone’s lips is ‘change’ as we all look to do something different to make this year better than last.

Hormones, health and fat loss...a rough guide

Authored by pfpexeter
Posted: Sat, 12/29/2012 - 10:11am

Here is a quick guide on how hormones impact on our health, well being and body composition. At this time of year a lot of us want to lose a bit of christmas chub and often the first thing we consider is the old addage - 'move more and eat less'. This 'calories in verses calories out' approach is only a very small part of a successful plan for health and fat loss and in fact is not the best approach!

It is the actions of our hormones and neurotransmitters that have the greatest impact on leaness and health. It is not rocket science though, if it was I certainly would not be able to...

In part 1 of this article I discussed some training pitfalls relevant to a fat loss strategy. In this part I would like to offer some other advice focusing around nutrition, life style, hormones and the environment related to fat loss.

Here is a list of other factors that may hinder your fat loss plans and how to avoid them.

  1. Genetics . Some people are more susceptible to storing fat than others. This does not mean that these folks have to carry excess fat, just that they will find it more difficult to strip it off than others. More difficult, but certainly not
