Beating the Living Daylights out of Cancer

by Dave N. When I checked myself into City MD for a dull stomach ache last May, I was hardly prepared for the diagnosis that followed: Stage IV Colon Cancer with metastatic spread to the liver.  I had zero family history with the illness, and lacked the mutating gene, so I was pretty much just […]

I thought we were trying to Combat Obesity?

By: Cathy Prince I find it interesting, that more and more establishments are offering a complimentary dessert with purchase.  Your incentive to order from us, or to do business with us is this fattening treat that will spike your insulin levels, and bust your gut. Correct  me if I’m wrong, but isn’t a major part […]

A “Model” Client

I work as a fashion model around the globe, so looking good is part of my job description. I’ve always considered myself lucky because I have crazy metabolism, which allows me to remain thin no matter how lazy I am and how horrible my diet is.

The Psychology of Dieting

Edward Gemdjian

January is the month for resolutions. Some of us are determined to save more money this year, while others aim to get engaged or go back to school. Overwhelmingly, New Yorkers are in a mad dash back to the gym, hoping to drop that 5 or 30 pounds the holidays helped pack on. For most of us this isn’t the first time we’ve tried to lose weight. It isn’t the first time the winter blues and decadence of the holidays have caused us to increase a jean size or two. So what then, will be different this year? We’ve done the exercise before, we even bought the Weight Watcher’s Points book last year, it didn’t work. Is there something wrong with us?

Side-tracked?

Cathy Prince

Getting Unstuck

I’ve always avoided working out with trainers because after watching them work with clients from a distance, I’ve rarely been impresssed.  Ed was different.  He stood out among the crowd of trainers at the gym.  He was intensely focused on his clients, he was strict about technique, the workouts varied and, most importantly, his clients […]
