SELF HEALTH + HEALING

Hesitant to do a vegan type diet? Well we checked it out and vegetables can still help you gain muscle. We even give some recipes that are vegan style.

Your mom was right. You have to eat your veggies. Here’s everything you need to know about the best foods you have to start eating.

For many years, it’s been widely believed that a vegetarian dominated diet can’t work if you’re trying to put on quality muscle.

However, from experience, I know this isn’t entirely true. Vegetarian diets, and veggies in generalare thought not to contribute to weight gain as they have fewer calories when compared to proteinssuch as chicken, beef or fish.

But, if a vegetarian athlete or trainer includes the right veggies in their diet, and at the right times, they can be successful in their goal of gaining muscle and maintaining a strong, healthy body.

Want to lose weight? Then throw away the pills and powders. Strength training is the miracle weight loss aid you've been searching for. Here's why...

Strength Training Pays Eternal Fat Loss Dividends

Unlike traditional cardio, strength training’s fat loss effects don’t end once your workout does. That’s because muscle is nearly 4 times more metabolically active than fat tissue [1]. Both dedicated cardio and strength training burn calories during your workout, but cardio’s calorie burning effects end shortly after you stop exercising.

Nothing short of surgery or gaining body fat can actually increase the size of your breasts. As for making them look bigger, well, that's why the chunk of change we spend on bras each year is larger than the GDP of Iceland. Push-ups and padding aren't your only options, though.

"Developing the muscles underneath your breasts will enhance the look of your breasts and make them appear larger," says Jen Comas Keck, a certified personal trainer and former figure competitor. Let's be honest: This workout won't turn A cups into Bs or beyond. But if—like most women—you rarely train your chest, then you're missing out on a natural way to add a little extra oomph.
