Written by | published on

How large is the impact of not being active on childhood, adolescent and adult obesity. Plus: Are there critical time periods in gestation, infancy childhood and adolescence? You may have heard the claim that "fat cells form during childhood and puberty and stay forever" before, right? Well, if that's the case it would be logical to assume that our childhood may be a critical developmental windows in which we have the time-limited opportunity to shape or help shape our own or our kids body composition for the rest of our or their lives. Scientists from Mater Health Services South Brisbane,  the University College of London,  and the  Griffith University  have now reviewed the relatively scarce experimental and abundant observational pertinent research in order to examine "the role of physical activity during periods of risk to reduce the probability of obesity onset and maintenance in adulthood" (Street. 2015). Reduced obese individuals and other things...

Instead of making excuses for posting yet another "short news" collection instead of the next installment of the Athlete's Triad series, I will honestly tell you that I simply wasn't in the mood. Moreover, I have the feeling that I have already outlined what is going to work, i.e. train less, eat more and don't get all psyched up about being lean and looking good. Live your life! Against that background my gut tells me that any further details would just get you off track and back into the viscous cycle of overtraining, overdieting and overthinking why things don't work out for you by evoking the impression that as long as you take supplement X you could get away with doing a little bit 'less less' and eat a little bit 'less more'. This would be about as counter-productive as the eternal quest for the ultimate body fat blocker or fat burner of which today's Get lean and Stay Lean Quickie does actually feature three. While the tempora...
