Just like everyone else in the world we're burning up with Olympic fever around here. It's making it hard to get our work done, but maybe we'll get a gold medal for sticking to it. You can get additional coverage of the Olympic games right here at DietsInReview.com, and Kinsey even has a tip to help you start your day like the athletes. In a few days the curtain will close on these historic Beijing games, but it's only going to rise on a new day at DietsInReview.com, as we've got something exciting up our sleeves.


Redesign Coming Soon and Forum Closing

Each of you have been an important part of the growth and success of DietsInReview.com. To say thank you, we'll unveil an all-new site in just a few weeks. We've spent months overhauling the design, functionality and features to make it the most informative and engaging health and weight loss site on the Web. The transition is expected to be seamless, and you should only notice a more inviting site.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the user comments and reviews left by you on each Diet Review, we'll be closing the Discuss Dieting Forum. We encourage you to continue those conversations in the Diet Blog and Comments space on each review, which will soon be even more interactive. Thank you for understanding, and please join us at the all-new DietsInReview.com soon.


Beijing Olympics

Beijing Olympics 2008

For more than a week, stories of unmatched athletic prowess have poured out of Beijing. While you and I might not break any world records in the swimming pool, we can learn a lot from these Olympians and incorporate some of their fitness and nutrition habits into our lives. Staff writer Heather Ashare has been sharing stories each day in the Diet Blog about overcoming eating disorders, simple and effective exercises, calorie intake and healing injuries that these storied athletes use themselves. Check out all of our Olympics coverage, and don't miss the upcoming stories.

Kinsey’s Nutrition Tips

Eating Like an Olympian Starts with Breakfast

Breakfast is important because your brain runs on glucose for energy, which allows you to do your daily routine. Eating breakfast can improve your mood, memory, concentration, and can help with weight loss/maintenance. To incorporate breakfast into your daily routine, try these four tips:

  1. Wake up 10 minutes earlier
  2. Have healthy breakfast options
  3. Prep the night before
  4. Have grab-n-go options (yogurt, fruit, etc.), but avoid pastries and toaster strudels

Matt’s Fitness Tip

Matt

Make Your Workout Count
Working out can be rather boring and monotonous, so keeping it upbeat and interesting is the key. I've tried just about everything when it comes to working out and found a few ways to help the motivation process. Instead of counting 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on: try counting by twos or threes. This will help take the mind off the exercise and may add a little energy to your workout.
