The opening article covers the subject of fake thin people. These are people who are thin in spite of their actions not because of them. Fake thin people are a disaster for the average person because they look good yet if you copy their behaviours you will get disastrous results.

There are different types of fake thin people from those who just eat junk and still look fine to those who deny that they try to keep in shape. It is important for you to be able to distinguish the different types and then take this into your evaluation of their advice etc.

Fake thin people certainly do annoy me as they are a large part of the confusion that is out their in the world of getting in shape. At the same time you have to appreciate the amazing display of uniqueness the human body has within our population. We may look similar but we are also very different at the same time. This is why different people need different foods, exercise routines and behaviour coaching.

The second article looks at the issue of being stuck on a exercise plateau. As amazing as exercise is it t can be very misleading to the uninformed. This is because it will always get you sweating, out of breath, a burn in the muscle but it may not mean you are actually getting fitter. An exercise plateau is just that, the body gets a workout but it does not respond by becoming fitter. It sounds a contradiction but I would estimate 80% of regular exercisers if not more are stuck at this exact point.

Read the article today to understand how periodization, the science of structured programme design can overcome this.
