Between Your Ears

I am a firm and ardent believer that you should always be learning. Either learning something new or learning more about what you already know. I find great satisfaction in challenging my own opinions, especially on matters of fitness and nutrition.  Just because you are taught something in school or whatever,  doesn't mean it's unassailable.  For instance,  there is always the debate over what will help you lose weight: diet or exercise? Perhaps the answer is as specific to the individual as our DNA which we cannot change. Or the answer is not about chemistry, but psychology.
Go to dicktalens.com(he is one of the geniuses behind Fitocracy) and read his post about mindset and weight loss. It may change how you think about eating and exercise.
An open and flexible mind is the strongest muscle you will ever have in your body. But like quads, traps and abs, left unused, or stubbornly unchanged, it will deteriorate.
Flex on, my friends.
