Cortisol, Stress And Body Fat: Straight Answers
Cortisol is a stress hormone. Your body produces cortisol in
response to stress, physical, mental or emotional. This can include extremely
low calorie diets, intense training, high volume training, lack of quality sleep
as well as common daily stresses such as job pressures, fights with your spouse
or being caught in a traffic jam. Trauma, injury and surgery are also major
stressors to the body ...

Abdominal Training Secrets, An Interview
TV: Hi David, thanks for taking the time for this interview because I know how busy you are and
that, among other projects, you run a training studio in Tacoma, you’re a wrestling coach and you
keep a full client load. I’ve known you for a couple years now through the Internet and the
emails we’ve sent to each other and you’re very well known within the fitness industry -
especially in the sports training field. But on the off chance that some of the people listening
to this interview don’t know who you are, would you give us a quick introduction and tell
us little bit about your background, how you got started in this field and how you spend your
time now?
DG: Well I was always a sports enthusiast my entire life. I can
remember I was the only 9-year-old watching Monday night football and taking stats.
I did all the usual sports - football, soccer, wrestling, swimming, baseball and tennis.
Never did much with basketball. Being a genetically "blessed" Italian, I didn't think
the height requirement was going to be on my side. I excelled at wrestling. That sport alone
taught me about nutrition, supplements, work ethic etc. I really have to thank wrestling for
getting me into this field. I now coach high school wrestling, baseball and youth football.
I keep really busy with my 3 children, Addision (13) Garrison (10) and my little man Carson (7).
I taught school for a couple of years and then decided to go into personal training.
"The Incredible Shrinking Fat Cell"... What Really Happens When Body Fat is Burned?
Earlier this week someone in our discussion forum wrote, "I haven't "LOST" any fat... I know EXACTLY where it went! I got a chuckle out of that because I "got" the joke, but truth is, most people really don't know how fat cells work, how the fat burning process takes place or where the fat goes when it's burned. It's actually quite a complex biochemical process, but I'll explain it as simply as possible, so by the end of this article, you'll be a "fat burning" expert!
When you "lose" body fat, the fat cell (also called an adipocyte) does not go anywhere or

What Obesity Debate?
This is a perfect example of how on-line weight loss "experts" can confuse and harm the American consumer...The Obesity Debate? During a dinner conversation with a friend, the topic of laziness was brought up. From there, we some how got around to the topic of obesity. He said to me, "A great example of how bad laziness can be is obesity." "Excuse me," I coughed out (almost chocking on the last bite)."You know, obese people don't do anything. They are fat because they are lazy," my friend said as if from a position of authority. This was going to be a long dinner I could tell.It turns out, my friend read an article posted on the net that started with a statement similar to my friend's words that almost made me choke. Unfortunately, he didn't remember the author's name but the title was Fitness and Exercise -- I haven't found it...yet. What blows my mind is how easily people believe what is written on a website by someone calling himself an expert! The real experts need to start making noise! Laziness does not cause obesity. If that were so, obesity would be the norm and not considered a problem. I recently found a wonderful definition of obesity...it covers all the possibilities in one clear sentence:The etiology of obesity is complex, determined by the interplay of genetic and environmental factors -Andrea Baessler, from her recent article in Diabetes, Jan, 2005.There has never been a debate about what causes obesity. We have always known that obesity is multifactorial in etiology. The "real" debate topics are which environmental factors and which genes increase the risk or incidence of obesity. The rest of the article reviews recent work around two genetic links to obesity.SREB-1 Gene Delphine Eberle's work (Diabetes, Aug, 2004), with the sterol regulatory element binding protein transcription factor, found that the two isoforms are linked to the "plasma leptin concentrations in American obese families."His group hypothesized, "...genetic variations of the SREB-1 gene could be associated with obesity and obesity-related metabolic traits such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia." Interestingly, SREB-1 gene polymorphisms were found among obese cohorts when compared to nonobese cohorts. This means they are on to something and possibly not far from marking the SREB-1 gene as a clear link to obesity (1).Ghrelin Receptor Gene (GHSR)The importance of ghrelin in the central regulation of feeding has been demonstrated in animals and humans. Ghrelin increases appetite and food intake in normal subjects and patients with decreased appetite, such as those suffering from cancer cachexia. Recent evidence suggests that obesity is associated with an impairment of the entire ghrelin system (2).Besides its biological function, the ghrelin receptor gene is located in a quantitative trait locus or QTL strongly linked to six phenotypes of obesity (1).This is a second strong genetic association to obesity. Both groups will soon have conclusive evidence to support their arguments for SREB-1 and GHSR genetic links to obesity.As far as I can tell, laziness wasn't mentioned once. How many wonderful people avoid treatment because they actually believe it's their own fault? Educate at all costs.Healthy Living!Michael A.

Is Your Goal Really Weight Loss?
Are you ashamed of your weight? Do you have a goal weight that you want to reach through weight loss? I?d say so, it?s been pushed into our brains many times over and over again that ?weight loss? is what we want to accomplish. There are weight loss guides, weight loss supplements, and many other things that push ?weight loss?. Many people even set their goals to be at a certain weight. Additionally, the medical community has developed an ?ideal weight? chart, which can further add to the confusion about weight loss.

Gastric Bypass Patients at Risk for Stomach Blockage: How to Avoid This
In a gastric bypass the connection between he stomach pouch and the small intestine is called the gastrojejunal anastomosis. It is roughly the diameter of a ladies little finger. This small opening slows food from leaving the stomach too quickly prolonging the satiated feeling. In extremely rare cases scar tissue may form at this connection resulting in a blocked outlet. Treatment to correct this is the insertion, endoscopically, of a special balloon. The balloon is inflated and expands the anastomosis returning it to the correct size.
