General

chefknifeIn my view, there are five main items any kitchen cannot do without. One of those must-have items, is the classic 8inch Chef’s knife. Unfortunately, getting your hands on a good chef’s knife, can be a very expensive business with good chef’s knives costing between $100-$200. Recently I came across a  post in the Cool Tools Weblog recently spoke about a $27 dollar chef’s knife worth taking a look at, and I though it was a good deal that had to be talked about: [click to continue…]

If you have ever thought about starting a fitness blog and didn’t do it because of the possible technical challenges amongst them then now’s your chance. For a limited time I will setup a blog for you and give you instructions on how best to go about posting and other basic blog maintenance tasks. Why would you want to setup your own fitness blog? Here’s why:

1. If you’re trying to or are losing weight, this is a great way to record what you’re doing and how its going, on top of which the visitors to your blog will encourage you and help keep you going.

2. When you run your own blog and talk to other weight loss bloggers you will be more up to date on what works and doesnt work in this industry.

3. In the event that you’re blog gets popular then you stand to make money in the same process.

4. You will find likeminded people who are trying to do exactly what you’re doing.

Whats the catch?

Well all you have to do is sign up for hosting on my refferal link from the host i’m using. It’s the way I make something and am able to provide you with this site without you having to pay me for it. Web Hosting is the place where your new website will be stored on the internet. When someone types in your website address on their computer (e.g www.example.com) your new website will appear on their screen.

What do you get:

Once you sign up for the hosting and give me the login details, i will install the blog for you, setup a theme and get you started. I will also show you how to post and keep your blog running, meanwhile you can slowly learn what it means to run your own blog.

What will it cost me?

You need to buy a domain name, for a .com that will cost you US 9.99 and then its US$ 7.95 per month on the hosting. That’s all. And of course a little bit of your time whenever you want to post something on the blog.

So if you’re interested send me a mail to kahthan @ fatlossschool.com or use the contact page above.

Diet Soda and your Health

January 7, 2009

We all know that drinking regular soda will pile on the calories. But a new report says diet soda may be just as bad for us, speaking in terms of weight loss. The website Self.com has reported on research that “artificial sweeteners in soda may interfere with your body’s ability to estimate how many calories you’ve ingested, so you eat more than you need.” Studying rats, animals that ate fake sugar consumed more calories overall and gained weight, compared to those that didn’t eat artificially sweetened treats.

Says Self editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger: For every diet soda you sip daily, your risk of becoming overweight can rise by 37 percent, according to the researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. This is bad news for those of us who have replaced drinking normal sodas with diet sodas thinking that they are an adequate replacement. While diet sodas may not be unhealthy they are obviously not as good as we thought they were. So as a general rule of thumb try to avoid all forms of soda, diet or otherwise.

New Celebrity Workout Series

November 16, 2008

Due to some heavy demand I’ll be doing a series on celebrity workouts over the next few days. Right now I’ll focus on some of the more popular celebrities and then work my way backwards. My first couple of workouts will probably be Daniel Craig, Kim Kardashian and Nicole Sherzinger. From that point I’ll work my way back to the famous fight club Brad Pitt workout etc. 

My initial plan was to focus this week on what makes a good breakfast, why we need it and recipes for the different types of breakfast. But i got enough requests to do this so i’ve decided to do both. Should be fun.
