The Fat Habit is to Underestimate the Power of Walking. The Fit Habit is to Walk Daily
I’ve repeated the following statement multiple times on this site and within articles for various publications: most people could cure their overweight blues, reduce insulin resistance, dramatically improve other biomarkers of health, and reach a reasonable, “healthy” bodyweight by improving their diet and WALKING alone, no formal exercise sessions necessary.

Q: Why am I not losing weight on a strict adherence to the Paleo Diet?

Every other commercial on TV is about either some fast-food stop where you can get a “value meal” or family restaurant that serves huge portions of comfort food, a “nutritious” breakfast of sugary cereal fortified with whole grains you should make for your kids, or some easy dinner that … Read more
Q: Which is more effective for fat loss – 20 minutes of high intensity interval training or 60 minutes of cardio in the fat burning zone?
Nate’s Answer: The short answer is that the 20 minutes of higher intensity intervals would probably do more for fat loss in the long run than the 60 minutes of low intensity cardio.
