Hating exercise and other reasons why we miss workouts and what we can do about it-Part I

Hi folks, Hope all is well!  Oh and HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!! A little story from my rugby playing days at Queen’s University in Kingston. After a Saturday afternoon match all the lads were at the beer-up (social with opposing team) having our usual grand ol’ time. A group of us were trading stories about weight room antics and other fitness related shenanigans. Like most of the population, varsity athletes do…

Do food labels really matter or work?

As I was on my way into Ottawa this morning to drive my wife to work I heard a brief report on 1310 News citing a study on food labeling in the UK. After a quick check on the 1310 News website I was able to link to the article and give it a good read http://www.rsph.org.uk/filemanager/root/site_assets/our_work/areas_of_work/activity_calorie_labelling/activity_equivalent_calorie_labelling_paper_rsph.pdf.
