I sometimes forget what fish I should and should not buy and should and should not consume. I need to take a little card with me to the stores and restaurants. Thank you for the advice!

While I know that every "body" on this planet must obey the laws of science and that there are often very complicated explanations why some things work for some people and not for others I do not want to get into an argument over this with anybody so I will just leave this discussion at that and wish you good luck with the site and all your health research. Regards, Ania Hi Kat,

My studies and clinical experience have led me to put my faith entirely in (what to me is far more logical) ideal health created through the laws of biochemistry and through creating ideal hormonal balance, not through '1+1=2'. The body just isn't that simple. You're certainly right in saying that some people are underweight cardio junkies but I completely disagree in the premise of body fat depending on calories in vs out as an overall principle. Not saying that someone won't end up underweight if they severely restrict calories, but the reality is that some people do put on weight this way. And many people who eat a typical so-called healthy diet of moderate calories simply don't lose weight until they cut out cardio and increase calories through protein and fat. It's true that cardio works in the short-term, but that's simply an adaptation response. And while some (very few people) are genetically geared to do well on cardio, most are not. If you'd like to check out a newer way of thinking on health, training, nutrition and hormones then refer to the work of Charles Poliquin, Jonny Bowden, even Paul Chek. Each of them offer countless articles, research, clinical experience easily found online, enough to keep you going for weeks of reading. And certainly I defer to their experience - particularly that of Poliquin who is well regarded as the world's leading strength/conditioning coach and has unparalleled expertise in the field of hormonal research - rather than trying to re-hash what they've already said (beyond what I did in this post of course :-)). Long story short - I'd certainly rather eat well, lift heavy and go home and stay ripped that way than painfully track a low-cal diet and spend hours on the tready. Been there, done that, yeah it can work but's a long and laborious way of going about things, often comes back to bite, and definitely is not great for health considering the oxidative stress caused by cardio and the health/aging implications related to that! Thanks for your comment! Kat Hi Ania
I used to believe a similar approach to what you’re espousing, but I have to say that I do find the old school theory of ‘calories in vs calories out’ to be just that – old school. My studies and clinical experience have led me to put my faith entirely in (what to me is far more logical) ideal health created through the laws of biochemistry and through creating ideal hormonal balance, not through ‘1+1=2′. The body just isn’t that simple.

While there are many overweight cardio junkies, there are also many underweight cardio junkies. A change in body fat percentage depends on how many calories you burn vs. how many are consumed. While there is a tiny percentage of the population with a true genetic disorder or hormonal (ie thyroid) problems, the majority of people are simply consuming too many calories for what their bodies can burn. It is also proven that many overweight people will drastically underestimate how many calories they consume and are actually eating 50% more calories than what was estimated. I know this is to be true because apart from much scientific reserach, my own bodyweight will vary according to what i eat and not how much I work out. I am a big cardio junkie, burning 1000 calories per session every single day (or about 2-3 hours a day on the treadmill). I also train and educate many people, for whom the cardio approach has worked successfully in every instance. If you really think that your body is storing energy despite having an energy deficit then you are defying the laws of science and I'm sure that there would be many corporations interested in your body since you can create excess energy out of thin air.

Don't quote me on that. The best resource for vaccination info is www.vaccinationinoz.com, they have all the latest research and links and are very helpful.

I did think about including it but for some reason decided it would be info-overload. You're right though, farmed fish are definitely not healthy and salmon in particular are not only heavily farmed but known to be genetically modified.

Otherwise the fish isn't as healthy, particularly salmon which is dyed pink when factory farmed. My favorite type of fish are sardines which I eat regularly for a great source of protein and calcium. They are delicious and nobody is more surprised by this than me! I think you should also point out that the fish you eat should be wild caught and sustainable.
