Yes!  Time Magazine Article in June of this year entitled "Eat Less, Exercise More is not the Answer for Weight Loss".  Of Course!

That is exactly what we have been teaching since we opened in 2004!  In the article they quote several researchers from Boston Children's Hospital and the Nutrition Science Initiative of San Diego. " We intuitively know that eat less exercise more doesn't work. It's such simple advice that if it worked, my colleagues and I would be out of a job," says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital. The uncomfortable fact is that an exceedingly small number of people can lose a substantial amount of weight and keep it off following that advice."    Exercise Less & Eat More, The Real Cure for our Health and Fitness Crisis!!  Since the beginning we have preached this message during our new client orientations and I am still looking for a few brave souls who can let themselves think Outside the Box and realize that this really works!!  Follow me here... We have a Fiscal Crisis and supposedly the cure is Spend Less and Save More.  As you know this is a very unpopular strategy and few are willing to do this which we all know is the Real Cure!  Can't we just print more money or borrow from the Chinese, you ask?  But let's not Spend Less and Save More!!  And we have a Health and Fitness Crisis and the prevailing strategy we have been hearing for over 40 years is Eat Less and Exercise More!!  Again, this is a very unpopular strategy and is becoming more and more unpopular, it doesn't sound like fun and guess what, it doesn't work!  If you have tried it, you know it does not work!!   How about Exercise Less & Eat More as a strategy.  I know, it's totally counter to all you have been taught about nutrition and exercise, but it is what we teach at Inside Outside and it works.  It sounds radical but it gets down the the basics about sensible lifelong approaches to exercise and nutrition that work.  Are brave enough to give it a try and take your eating and exercise to a new level?  At Inside Outside "Some do it different, nobody does it better".

Sitting is the New Smoking!  Revisting NEAT Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis!!

The Stationary Position is the Beginning of the End...   Dr. James A. Levine at the Mayo Clinic has devoted much of his career studying NEAT.  He writes that "You can expend calories in one of two ways. One is to go to the gym and the other is through all the activities of daily living called NEAT (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis). It appears that NEAT is far more important for calorie-burning than exercise in nearly everyone."  This graph from Dr. Levine's work show that those who walk/stand most are more likely to be lean than those who sit.  Recent studies in mice have also shown that our desire for more NEAT activity may be genetically based.  In other words some people may have genes that make them do more NEAT activity resulting in leanness. You may have been born to be a couch potato. There may be a Laziness Gene!!!  It is postulated that couch potatoes could try to sit/lie harder or faster, or....

How The Sun Sees You! Amazing images of faces with a UV Light Sensitive Camera!

For most of us 80-90% of what we don't like about our skin is related to sun damage from UVA, UVB and Infrared radiation from the sun (meaning premature aging). The only thing that trumps sun damage for some is heavy smoking. We know that the sun damage is cumulative, meaning sun exposure when we are young is with us forever and is additive to our current dose we get every day.  Some of the early damage from the sun will not be apparent for 30-40 years when skin cancers begin to emerge, all related to early sun burns. Other problems such as pigmentation and loss of collagen (wrinkles) are also consequences of Sun Exposure.  This YouTube Video shows very dramatically how a special UV sensitive camera can show us sun damage much earlier than we can see with our eyes which only are able to see light in the visual light spectrum (colors of the Rainbow)or ROYGBV.  It also shows how effective Sunscreens and Sunblocks are in preventing UV light penetration of our skin.   Check out our web page "The Dark Side of the Sun" for more information.

Since it's inception, an important mission at Inside Outside has been to make

a difference in our community.  The best way we have found to do this is to

make contributions to Non-Profit organizations through silent auctions at their

annual fund raising events, seminars, health fairs or direct donations.  We would

consider it an honor for any request for items to be donated or for Dr. Christian to speak to Non-Profit and other organizations/businesses in San Antonio and surrounding cities. Check out our New Community Service Page chronicling Inside Outside's Community Service efforts since 2004!
