It appears that there is no end to the confusion surrounding creatine, the latest one being is using creatine in womensafe? Follow us as we address this issue.
Don't be a Girl!
The first thing that needs to be clarified is this simple question; what would make creatine act different in a woman’s body compared to a man’s?, the answer is straight forward, nothing. Creatine has been proven to aid athletic performance by enhancing short burst energy output. Many women might be thinking at this time “ but I don’t want to lift heavy weights to look like a man”, well this belief is unfounded. Creatine in women has the same effect as it does in men. Many women are simply ignorant to the many beneficial effects this supplement may offer, and are sabotaging their hard work in the gym.

There is little argument about the health and longevity benefits that derive from drinking tea. Green, black or any other kind all share many of the same 700 or so healthy chemicals that give tea its power.

Some detailed research will soon identify the blend or type of tea you want for the objective you seek to achieve. One thing that will hold true for any tea chosen: if it…

There is a lot of hype around about losing weight, weight loss and weight gain and yet weight itself is only a measure of your mass. How much you weigh is irrelevant when considered by itself. You need a comparison statistic to place alongside and give the weight number some context. Like height, age or gender. So let’s forget about weight and focus on what creates the weight, other than bones and muscle and organ tissue, skin etc. I’m talking the F word. Fat.
Fat is What, Exactly?
It might be easier to say what fat isn’t. Fat isn’t a vegetable matter, nor is it a mineral. It does not occur in earth (soil), plants, fruits, vegetables or rocks, water and so on. It is an animal product. It is actually a mixture of various soft, semisolid organinc…

If you are taking a fat blocker, should you take it while you fast? Should you fast before starting a fat blocker program? Will fasting and ingesting a fat blocker be dangerous for your health? The answers to these questions are ones I have to give out to curious clients at least once every week. What I normally do is try to help the client work through the questions by educating them about both fasting and using a fat blocker.
The Fast
First of all the fast and why it should be undertaken. There are many ways to fast. Of course the basic concept is you stop eating and drinking but that is not completely true. You still should drink a lot of fresh, clean water. Lots of it. A gallon a day is good. Too…
