We’re about three weeks into the FitLifeSF Challenge, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce you to the participants. We have a nice mix of experience levels and goals, so I think the Challenge will serve its purpose of showing that anyone can make significant changes in only 10 weeks if they set their mind to it.

A Research-Based Look at Which Diets Actually Work
January 9th, 2010 by Smurf · No Comments
It’s about time someone did this! Thanks to The Daily Beast for compiling the latest data on which diets actually work based on weight lost at 6 and 12 months, as well as attrition rate (after all, no diet works if you can’t stick to it!)
The winner, Volumetrics, is an approach I highly recommend for many folks, and, of the top 5, all but Atkins are what I consider to be reasonable, balanced, SUSTAINABLE ways of eating for life. (Maybe it’s because I’m more of an endurance athlete, but, I’m just pretty anti-Atkins. I do agree , however, that lowering carbs for a week or two is one way to lose some of the water weight that is stored with glycogen and slim down for a near-term event.)
