Even though I have spend countless hours doing research and trying to find out the best way to eat, work out and live, it seems that there is always something new I wasn’t aware of. I have to tell you that I have recently came across something I had no idea existed. I know that there are several eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and so on, but did you know that there is a new one caused by knowing too much? Well it is not all about knowing, it is more about trying to know, checking everything you eat and how much you eat.

Most specialists define this new condition, orthorexia nervosa, as an obsession. The term has been chosen in connection (more…)

It looks like a regular flip-flop to me, but they (Darren James and Dr David Cook, the developers) call it The Fitflop.

There is a footwear phenomenon in the last years that promises far more than just comfort and style. I don’t know what happened to Fitness, Pilates or weight lifting, but it seems like now all you have to do is change your shoes.

AndrewAndrew, a design firm, has created this cookie whose nutrition facts are printed right on it’s body, in edible ink.

This is the real cookie with the real nutritional facts printed on it and you can literally see the calories you eat.

Too bad not all cookies are like this one. If they were, maybe people might think twice about it before eating an entire box.

This particular one contains 35 grams of carb, which is the equivalent of almost a quarter of a cup of pure sugar and its calorie number (260) is equal to my breakfast’ calorie number. (more…)
