Would You Watch A Weight Loss Show With An Obese Trainer?
Mar 18th
What I’m about to share with you is 100% true. And I may upset a few people but oh well.
About a month ago I responded to a casting ad that was looking for a personal trainer for a new television show. In case you don’t know in years past I’ve submitted myself to The Biggest Loser production team but obviously never got a call. Although I’m still available! Any way, I’ve always been extremely interested in television and I have incredible passion for fitness. One of my dreams is to eventually be a personal trainer on a show and combine More >
ATF Classic: Are Your Friends Making You Fat?
Mar 18th
Here’s a great subject up for debate – can being friends with people who are overweight increase your chances of packing on the pounds? I originally wrote this two years ago and since then I’ve made some observations – I think the opposite is more true! In other words, I believe it’s much more likely that an overweight individual will adopt better lifestyle habits by spending time with people who are thinner and more active then it is for the thinner, more active people to gain weight.
Plus I think that an overweight person will look to their friends for support and More >

Are Vegans Healthier?
Mar 16th
I read an article about the rise of Veganism within the celebrity community and how many dieticians are saying that it’s not simply a fad. We’ve seen actors like Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and even Brad Pitt come out and for various reasons adopt this style of eating. Amongst the benefits, it’s stated that in general Vegans have lower BMI’s and generally will weigh less, which is true…
But I think we need a little clarity.
The main issue I have is with the BMI scale. As you can see from the photo below, I am considered obese with a BMI More >

Penelope Cruz: 7 Months Pregnant And Too Thin?
Mar 15th
I was watching television today and caught a few minutes of the popular TMZ show. A picture of a black bikini clad Penelope Cruz was shown during one segment and the ‘reporter’ said something to the effect of ‘that’s not normal’. He was inferring that Cruz, who is believed to be in her 7th month of pregnancy, isn’t representative of most pregnant women who he believes usually are heavier. In fact he mentioned his wife! I wouldn’t want to be going home to his house tonight.
This will be the second child for the 38 year old spanish actress and More >

Angry Issues: Do You Cook With A Microwave?
Mar 12th
When I moved into the Angry Trainer Fitness Studio in November of last year, I didn’t bring a microwave. Each week I would go shopping, looking for the biggest and best model, but still here I am without one. And you know what? It’s great! I actually cook my food in a real oven.
Do you use a microwave?
Last week I found an article that talks about whether microwaving food actually reduces it’s nutrition. I’ve heard about this for some time but never paid any real attention to it. And it seems that you’ll find convincing arguments for and More >
