Yahoo! Health - Breaking up workouts may burn fat faster

Body Like Beyonce (BodyLikeBeyonces@yahoo.com) has sent you Yahoo! Health web page

Personal message:

I definitely need to burn some fat. I found this article interesting. I have always thought that a single long workout burned more fat...

Breaking up workouts may burn fat faster
http://health.yahoo.com/news/177955

Breaking up an exercise session, by adding a rest period in between, may boost a workout's fat-burning efficiency, a team of Japanese and Danish researchers reports.

When men exercised for two 30-minute stretches, taking a 20-minute rest break in between, they burned more fat than when they exercised for a single 60-minute session, and then rested afterward, Dr. Kazushige Goto of the University of Tokyo and colleagues found.

Current recommendations on exercise for preventing or treating obesity emphasize longer exercise sessions, Goto and his team note in the Journal of Applied Physiology. But there is evidence that following one exercise session with another workout may increase fat metabolism, they add.

To investigate, the researchers had seven healthy men complete one long workout and then two shorter workouts on exercise bicycles, measuring several different indicators of fat metabolism. All exercised at 60 percent of their maximum level of exertion.

When the men performed the two shorter exercise sessions, their blood levels of free fatty acids and other substances rose during the rest period, indicating greater fat metabolism. Levels of these substances also were higher during an hour-long rest period after the two-part exercise session.

Greater fat metabolism was recorded during each of the rest periods in the two-part session than during the rest period following the single, longer workout.

The men also showed lower levels of insulin and blood glucose during the second phase of the two-part exercise session.

While the proportion of total calories burned did not differ between the two workouts, fat represented nearly 77 percent of the calories burned in the recovery period after the two-part exercise session, compared with about 56 percent of calories burned in the recovery period after the single long exercise session.

Although a single bout of prolonged exercise is often performed in response to a physician's advice to exercise more, exercising for the same amount of time but with rest periods in between may be more effective, especially for sedentary or overweight individuals, the researchers conclude.

Have You Met Miss Jones?: The Life and Loves of Radio's Most Controversial Diva






Hot 97 radio personality Tarsha Jones is ready to tell all, just like Karrine Stephens, in her new book Have You Met Miss Jones?: The Life and Loves of Radio's Most Controversial Diva. She appears to be an adamant Beyonce Hater. In her book Jones goes on to call Beyoncé “barrel-a-d” and says her “acting leaves something to be desired.” She then claims that when she first met Beyoncé’s fiancé, Jay-Z, “he turns and stares at my ass” and made a sexual remark. There’s plenty of drama, too. When Jones lived in the same apartment building as the Notorious B.I.G., his lover Lil’ Kim begged Jones to let her in to confront the rapper’s wife, Faith Evans, she claims. When Russell Simmons comes on her radio show, she writes, “he launches into a blistering 10-minute promotion of 26 products he’s created in the last two days.” Rival deejay Wendy Williams is, of course, not spared. “After all of her years in radio, [she] has not elevated above curb level in terms of paving the way for other women in radio. Disappointing.” And when Mary J. Blige fell onstage during Hot-97’s Summer Jam last year, Jones was glad, because Blige forgot to thank her at the mike. “Karma is a bitch,” Jones writes in the book, which she’ll sign at Borders on Columbus Circle next Wednesday night.

Beyonce Knowles is preparing to go on the Australian leg of her 'B' Day' tour or not, if anti-smoking groups have their say. The singer is under fire after an ad showing the pop diva in a glamorous pose holding a cigarette holder were shown in newspapers and billboards around the country.

Queensland Cancer Fund tobacco issues coordinator Catherine Mahony said the image could encourage young women to smoke.

BodyLikeBeyonce Weight Loss Update



On December 25th 2006 I was 159 pounds. Today, I am 157 pounds. Between now and then I had lost 14 pounds, then gained 12 back. I think the huge reason why I had lost the 14 pounds is because of the Master Cleanse diet, but after I got off the diet I gained the weight back. Oh well, oh blah dee, oh blah dah, life goes on, rah, fa la la la life goes on:-) My new goal date is May 1 2007. I have been pretty busy and stressed combining college life and home life, so I have not been too mindful of what I have been eating lately and I have not been exercising on a regular basis. I can't wait until spring break, hopefully I will be rejuvinated enough to get back into the groove of things.

Beyonce Hepatitis A Scare


An urgent warning has been issued by the Health Department, warning the star-studded crowd who attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue party on Valentine's Day that they may have been exposed to acute hepatitis A. The list of possibly exposed guests: Beyonce Knowles, Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, and dozens of ridiculously hot bikini models.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed that an employee of Wolfgang Puck Catering was recently diagnosed with the disease, and has strongly urged anyone who attended the SI party, or any of the 13 other events catered by Puck between Feb. 1 - 20, to get an immune globulin shot by tomorrow to prevent illness.

Jay-z Stalker on Dr Phil




I remember a while back looking for some Beyonce news and ran across a website that had news about a woman who stated Jay-z was "cheating on Beyonce" with her. I bypassed it because that's not the kind of stuff I like to post to my blog. This morning I was looking for more Beyonce news and ran across a site with news about a woman named Katrina who stated she emailed a gossip site and lied about being involved with Jay-Z, and admitted that she was a stalker. The site referred to her appearance on the Dr.phil show, so I had to check it out to see if it was credible, and it was. Check out the story on DrPhil.com

Made of tofu and yam flour, these noodles are high in fiber, VERY low in calories, and have ZERO points (if you're counting) for the entire two-serving package! It's basically "pasta" with hardly any carbs or calories. Use these in place of where you would normally use regular high carb pasta. Available at select grocery stores, select Whole Foods locations, Japanese markets, or order them online.

A Wet Noodle...
Pasta is high in carbs and calories.  It's also addictive.  That's a horrendous combination if you ask us.  Credit should be given to anyone who can actually eat just one true serving of Capellini (which, by the way, still packs in around 210 calories).  This skinny spaghetti also contains 43 carbs!  Ack!   As good as it is, pasta is one of those things that just adds hundreds and hundreds of unwanted calories to your meals.  Make the switch over to Shirataki Tofu noodles, and satisfy your noodle cravings as often as you like, without having to buy new pants.

**Please note:  A serving of pasta is HALF the size of a serving of the Tofu Shirataki.
