Weight Watchers Offers Balance I immediately liked the idea more than I usually like diets because I knew Weight Watchers is about balance. I wouldn’t appreciate having to give up my favorite foods completely, and now I don’t have to, yay! My yeast roll and other bread cravings may cost me a fourth of my points every week, but at least I can eat as many fruits and veggies as my heart desires without having to worry about the calorie count. 🙂 Weight Watchers Didn’t Cost Too Much. The price for Weight Watchers wasn’t too bad either. It is $17.95 a month …

January 12, 2020 by AbidineFit

January 11, 2020 by AbidineFit

Hi Guys, I’ve been getting involved in some of the discussions on fitness and bodybuilding forums since 15 years ago. One of the things that comes up more often than not is the question of what to have before bed to keep the “Anabolic Drive” going all night. Well, to be quite honest, there isn’t anything that is going to last the 8-10 hours you’re asleep. It only takes roughly 4 hours for your body to slip into a post-absorptive (catabolic) state. I believe that I’ve come up with a simple technique that is not only effective and potent but …

How Diet And Exercise Can Alter Your Metabolism

March 25, 2020January 9, 2020 by AbidineFit

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) can justifiably claim 60% to 75% of our Total Energy Expenditure (TEE). Simply put, TEE, is the total amount of energy that we expend throughout an entire day. Digestion and absorption of food are called the Thermogenic Effect of Feeding (TEF) and accounts for 5% to 10% of our TEE. Energy expended via physical activity is called the Thermogenic Effect of Activity (TEA), which comprises roughly 20% to 30% of our TEE. Body Surface Area (BSA) is a major determinant of RMR, however, voluntary behaviors such as diet and exercise influence RMR in a positive manner. …

January 8, 2020January 8, 2020 by AbidineFit

Bodybuilding success is largely dependant on whether one has access to a fresh supply of nutritious foods. Chicken, beef, turkey, and fish are all examples of staple protein sources, designed to build serious muscle if consumed in sufficient quantities. However, given bodybuilders typically eat considerably more than the average person, as they strive to add mass to their physiques, particular attention should be given to the quality of the foods they ingest. The aforementioned protein sources are notoriously susceptible to contamination if incorrect preparation processes are followed – one more reason to avoid fast-food restaurants (these are where many of …

Being overweight is the top disease in the United States. This is all due to those tasty burgers, pizzas, lasagna, and sandwiches drenched in mayo, cheese, and oil. While the sight of a pizza right out of the oven may seem too scrumptious to resist, the fact is that it is food like these that cause a person to put on all those extra pounds.
