Why Are Thin People Not Fat Video Series

06/09/2011

As a Fitness Professional, I consider myself not only a teacher in the world of exercise, but also a student....and a mega geek one at that! In my free time, I'm always reading up on the latest research from both medical and fitness journals. I also spend time browsing the internet for the best methods to train all while developing my own style.

While browsing the web the other day, I stumbled upon a particularly interesting set of video series on youtube. Its called "Why are Thin People Not Fat?" The series goes through a study done on skinny individuals who had a hard time gaining and maintaining weight. Check it out for yourself and find out:

What one food causes fat gain more so than others.
"Survival of Fattest Gene" theory
How some foods are converted from fat into heat for "auto" burn (hence the importance of thermogenic foods in the diet)
And a bunch other interesting, but also perhaps controversial topics...

It is a bit long, each part is about 10 min, but they have really cool accents, so its easy to watch. Try to cover one a day. Go at it and learn:
