As you have probably read or heard, America has a weight problem. Sometimes the statement is made that a person is fit and fat. I see some people that might be in this category on some of the rides I go on. I try to think of how these people may be in this condition and how they can remain that way while riding as much as they may claim.<\/p>\n
My favorite health and fitness doctor had an article in his recent email newsletter that touched on this subject. Dr. Mirkin<\/strong><\/a> had this to say,<\/p>\n “Obesity and High-Fat Diets Interfere with Muscle Growth.<\/p>\n An editorial in The Journal of Physiology<\/em> explains how both high-fat diets and obesity prevent strength gain with exercise, and increase risk for diabetes heart attacks, and premature death (1).<\/p>\n The editorial was inspired by a study from the University of California at Davis, showing that a high-fat diet prevents exercising mice from enlarging their muscles (2) . If this study can be applied to humans, it means that not only does a high-fat diet make you fatter, it also prevents you from enlarging your muscles.”<\/p>\n You can read the full article<\/strong><\/a> at www.drmirkin.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As you have probably read or heard, America has a weight problem.
