Losing weight shouldn’t take the joy out of life. Celebrations and spending time with good friends is a part of being happy. Those types of gatherings or occasions are usually coupled with a bottle of wine or some other spirits. When someone hands you a glass you don’t want to be mentally calculating the calories in white wine.

The elevator door opens, an old friend walks in, takes one look at you and says, “You look great! How did you lose all that weight?” Thanks… but where do I start?

It seems like every processed food item has a 100 calorie package version out on the market these days. I saw Doritos, Oreos, and every major chocolate bar touting 100 calories on the front side of their respective packages while standing in line at the supermarket last week. Ah… isn’t that sweet. They’re doing the portion control for me in an effort to help me eat less. Sure, I’ve got room for you guys in my shopping cart. Hop right in…

[The staple of low calorie snacking... popcorn. Put your hand-up if you can taste the difference between plain unsalted or unsweetened popcorn and styrofoam? That's why it's usually loaded with large amounts of additives!]

I thought smaller portion size was good? What gives?

Looking at the food court in a local shopping mall today I thought about these two questions:

How many people have calories on their mind?

Do any of them count calories?

I’m gonna go out on the proverbial limb here and say probably none of them.

Harsh? Maybe. But I too was once a frequent visitor of the common food courts eating fattening foods and feeling my clothes getting tighter by the fry. So chalk this up to experience.

After several failed attempts at losing weight, I finally took some responsibility and found an unlikely weapon against fat-> The PENCIL!

It’s been awhile since we shared a receipe here at the Fat Loss Authority so it’s time to change that trend. Let’s also say that after our recent post about the Mediterranean Diet my mind was on food. I was recently out for lunch with a friend at a buffet style restaurant. Yes, a very dangerous place to lose all self control but we both are health conscious enough not to go crazy and besides, it was our cheat day. One thing that we both noticed was the amount of mayo-sodden salads that were available in all different shapes (pasta, brocolli, etc).

So here is delicious receipe that we found to try out in your own kitchen. This recipe calls for roasted or grilled chicken that has cooled. Using leftovers or buying a

The arm is one of the first things noticed by others. It can be covered up with a sleeve or fully exposed. If they are well defined, chances are the rest of the body is too. Here are five ways to sculpting your guns a la Ron Burgundy:

1. Work your Triceps

The triceps comprise 60% of your upper arm, therefore, you should be training them 10% more then your biceps! The two muscles compliment each other and for a great workout try doing bicep and triceps exercises in the same workout.

2. Supersets

Super what? A superset consists of doing one exercise followed immediately by another different exercise. For example, doing dumbbell curls followed by overhead triceps extensions. Not only will this give you
