On average, 75% of Americans gain the majority of the weight during the holiday season. An NIH study found that people usually gain one to two pounds during the holidays and they almost never drop the weight. While that doesn’t seem like much.

That’s because you’re likely not noticing that it’s happening. You’re being invited to a ton of parties…

Their diet largely consisted of crops they grew, fruits from the cacti, mesquite tree beans, acorns, cholla buds, and mesquite candy (sap from the tree.) Over the course of many centuries the Tohono O’odham metabolism had become well adapted to the…

One issue that really concerns me is what society views as the perfect body. For the longest time, being borderline underweight was the trend. However, in today’s society, being plus sized is gaining popularity. When I hear the word “plus sized”, I think of someone who is curvy, not overweight or obese.

Could Godzilla exist? According to legendary pictures Godzilla is 355ft tall that’s 5 feet taller than the empire state building and weighs 90,000 tons.

Which would need about 250,000,000 calories a day and it is estimated that an adult human body has about 110,000 calories. So if Godzilla had taste for people he would have to eat 1,950…

I have struggled with weight loss all of my life. I have come to the realization that I am an emotional eater. From my own personal observations I eat the most when I am upset, angry, nervous or anxious. This has been the case for me throughout my entire life. I recall after my divorce gaining a lot of weight due to copious amounts of over eating because I was so depressed. Another crucial moment is when I gather with my family. My family celebrates by eating, so every time we have a family…

After we gathered all of our research, we documented it and filed it until it was needed. The next step was the running. Materials needed for this portion are a stopwatch, a meter stick, calculator, and appropriate running gear.…

What is alarming is how far fast food companies are willing to go to target kids from…
