Which Do You Hit Harder To Lose Weight - Diet Or Exercise?


Which is more important in weight loss - diet or exercise?

The science guys over at AsapSCIENCE explain it for you in three minutes.

I will add - since I do know several of the men of Chippendales - who know a thing or two about being in shape - that they put it at 80% nutrition, 20% exercise.

That's not to say exercise should be ignored. You burn more calories the  more fit you are. And there is that endorphin high that's hard to beat... :)

Guess What's In Your Favorite Holiday Coffee Drinks


Did you know that a Grande Eggnog Latte has the saturated fat of about 2 1/1 glazed donuts? That's 60% of your daily saturated fat. (Insert sad trombone sound here...)

Check out this video from AOL that kind of spills the beans on your favorite holiday coffee drinks. Here's just a bit of the 411:

• A grande Eggnog Latte = the saturated fat of about 2.5 glazed donuts
• A grande Chestnut Praline Latte = the sugar of 15 Hershey's kisses
• A grande Peppermint Mocha = the sugar of 21 Hershey's kisses
• A grande Gingerbread Latte = the sugar of over 10.5 Jolly Ranchers

Yikes!!!

I'm a regular coffee guy myself.

Dunkin' Donuts Breakfast Sandwich


This is, apparently, a real thing.

From the AP:
Dunkin' Donuts is adding a doughnut breakfast sandwich to its national menu this week.

The sandwich, which comes with fried eggs and bacon between a split glazed doughnut, will become a part of the permanent menu starting June 7, which the chain claims is "National Donut Day."

Dunkin' Donuts had tested the sandwich in select stores in eastern Massachusetts in April, creating considerable buzz online.

Notably, Dunkin' Donuts says the "Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich" clocks in at 360 calories, which is less than the 390 calories for the turkey sausage sandwich it recently introduced for people looking to eat better.
